Learn to Unlearn

in life •  7 years ago 

"The illiterates of the 21st century will not be those who can not read and write, but those who can not learn, unlearn and relearn" Albin Toffler.

Our culture, language and prejudices are elements that were imposed to us in a peaceful way, we learned the skills and abilities that are necessary to develop in our environment. Learning constantly is vital to personal success, but unlearning is fundamental in this fast-changing world.

History is a process where it is constructed, destroyed and rebuilt, therefore, our way of thinking must take those same characteristics. We must be able to criticize our system of thought, to adopt new ideas necessary in the present time and to put aside the obsolete ones.

We must observe with a critical thinking at all that they teach us, bearing in mind that nothing is forever, that our world constantly changes and that if we do not change together with it, we will live in the prison of the past.
