Issac Asimov Interview

The third part of the interview has to be my favorite of the entire interview. One of the reasons I love science is because I love learning about how the world works; it can be incredibly fascinating to think about how our own bodies work. Science proves to us what we thought or it shows us that we are wrong. One of the problems that we face in education is how many students find it boring and long to get it over with. Asimov said that if we can broaden our knowledge then maybe we will be able to find something that we're passionate about. The problem is that once we enter school we are faced with common knowledge and basic subjects that consume our lives for years. Unfortunately, if you don't find something interesting that you'd like to pursue then you will refuse too learn and never get a chance to find that passion. In this way we give up and become lazy and our desire to learn disappears.
