I do not think that formal education at our institutions kills the spirit of those who choose to think differently. A donkey can never be a horse, nor for that matter, will a horse be every restrained of his energy. People with entrepreneurship intuition definitely take up what they have aspired to. Those who don't, certainly miss the capability do so. Weak ones start and move out at the very first failure. One thing, however, I must admit that free thinking environment must be provided. I do not believe that it must be institutions that alone solder the responsibility. If a child gets it at home, existing institutions with all its constraints become a challenging environment, whereby the kid exercises his basic lessons, and if he succeeds, remains a free thinker; and an entrepreneur if he so wants to be.

But very often we see that in many fields, when someone comes up with a brilliant idea/ invention, that product is not allowed to get commercialized as it is seen as a threat to an existing well established product. What I have realized is that any idea can only be an innovation that doesnt ruffle the feathers of the big birds in the industry. My observation is not always the rule, but I have come across instances when brilliance has been snuffed. It is all very interesting to talk about ideas and how it is important .

Do you all agree that environment where free “Thinking” happens, has to be built in our educational systems. Do you agree that those who are not trapped in boundaries of structure of education and organizations are better thinkers and ideators ?
