Focus on learning, not just the infrastructure.

A keen learner is not concerned about the location of their education; they are solely interested in what is being taught, not where it is taught. While some people expect a serene atmosphere for learning, education can occur in crowded places, battle zones, hospitals, and nearly anywhere else. We should avoid equating learning with comfort or pampering individuals with materialistic luxuries, as doing so risks portraying education as an elite experience.

Historically, people learned in simple conditions, such as under a tree or in classrooms without fans. Yet, these learners came with a genuine intention to absorb knowledge rather than to relax.

In today's world, it is surprising to see children attending air-conditioned classrooms, as many educational institutions resemble luxury hotels. It is crucial to remember that students are not customers, and academic institutions should not prioritise customer service.

By focusing too much on providing comfort in the present, we risk making students ill-equipped for future challenges, limiting their ability to adapt to tough situations. Our priority should be to facilitate genuine learning, rather than seeking high ratings from students at the end of the academic year.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
