Learn how one plus one can be three

One plus One equals Three!

Yeah, I’m not mistaken, I’m not wrong.

Follow me, we will learn how. I know that you are still unable to believe me.
Let’s try and see, maybe we’ll discover new things; maybe we’ll discuss something else and it would be interesting if we debate about it together!

As kids; our grandfathers and our parents told us about many things, we believed them automatically because they were/are trusted. No one could disagree with them or even thought of what they said. It was a matter of respect or maybe because we didn’t have the same experience they had.

I still remember my mother’s advice: “Don’t talk to strangers!” and my father’s “Laughing without any reason = impoliteness!”
Later, I discovered that a stranger can be a faithful friend; a stranger can be a good listener; a stranger can be the dearest one for you. Sorry my mother, but I was a stranger when you brought me to this world and then you talked to me and you taught me how to LOVE!

I also believe that I can laugh without any reason, I mean I don’t have to wait till I find a convenient reason which makes me laugh. I can find my OWN reasons to laugh and fill my soul of happiness. My father can’t understand these reasons. Still, I’m not impolite and I’m not crazy as well! Sorry my father, but I heard you laughing many times and I wasn’t able to get your OWN reasons!

Everyone of us should have our own point of view, own way of thinking, own plan to change our lifestyle.
Remember…. This won’t happen easily, this won’t happen by a sudden or by a coincidence. This will happen when you forget all about the old equations; when you cross the “1+1=2”
Believe in yourself; believe that CHANGE must be and nothing will last forever.

Years ago, when we were students, our teachers used to explain things in a monotonous way; they didn’t let us think out of the box. That way killed the creativity inside us, but fortunately, some students were mature enough to find their own way and they successfully created their own boxes and their own keys.

I’m not talking about success, I’m not talking about having a full mark in the final exams, but I refer to the quality of education and the strict way of explaining things to students; the unchangeable way.
1+1 can be 11, can be ×, and can be “a long one”
You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to be afraid from your parents in case you failed in your Math exam. To your surprise, maybe you will receive a present from your teacher and will encourage you to keep thinking differently and creatively. I want you to be sure that your teacher had read something about this idea, that’s why you won’t be punished for your unique answers!

Another example from the same field; kindergartens have been teaching the same Alphabets lesson which says:

A…………………> Apple
B………………….> Book
C…………………..> Cat

Why not to change it? Update it, choose a new group of words; words that are used in our life nowadays. Let’s consider this new list:

A………………..> Android
B………………..> Bookmark
C………………..> Cell phone

Don’t you agree with me that our kids already know these words?
We only need “CHANGE”
You can change something in a wrong and unacceptable way; this is not the CHANGE which I mean. We need a positive and a real change towards a bright future.

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
John F. Kennedy
If you insist that 1+1=2, so you are still unable to get my idea and I’m sorry to ask you to stop reading. And if your answer will be “3” when I ask you once again about ” 1+ 1 = …”, so I’m sorry to say that you won’t get my idea.
I want to emphasize that there is nothing strict, nothing specific and nothing fixed.

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
Steve Jobs
