From Pakistan to CANADA

Think intensively and think critically, the three words seem simple yet are extremely difficult to practice in everyday life, especially when human nature drives us to make most decisions emotionally. How can we cultivate this skill? Can it be taught, learned, or practiced? Before diving into these questions, it's important to remember the true purpose of education. As Martin Luther King Jr. wisely stated, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education." This philosophy isn't just an abstract ideal; it’s actively embodied in educational systems like that of Canada.

As a recent Pakistani immigrant to Canada, I can say Canada is for anyone who can relate to frustration of constant pressures of electricity, gas, and water issues, unpredictable tax laws, failing healthcare and education standards for children.
