Getting creative
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 02 - 2015

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Every boy and girl needs something more than studies in their life. A continuous monotonous circle of home school home will draw out the life in them, making them a machine or robot with no imagination or will of their own.

Here in the kingdom, school going children wake up early in the morning, and pack their bags for school. They are back home in the afternoon around 1 or 2, sometimes they have their lunch and find few hours to sleep, but mostly they are off to their tuitions or language institutes. After spending 2-3 hours there, they come back home exhausted and try to relax while watching television or playing video games for an hour or two. What comes next? Time for homework followed by dinner and sleep.

It already sounds dull, and it doing more harm than good. It is killing the creativity in you. Do you really think that studying hard is the only way to get good grades? If yes, then you are wrong.

Researchers say that mind needs time to relax which refreshes it making it active and smart. It is unfair to become a robot, and continuously complete the same cycle every day. Every child is special, and they must discover their talents and find a way to polish them. Learning new things and finding joy in them is the necessity to do well in every field of life. A sound mind means, a sound body. Being a book worm, with no physical and creative activities kills the productivity and makes you grow old early.
