Observation is directly proportional to thinking, and thinking is directly proportional to creativity.”"Observation, thinking, and creativity are indirectly proportional to formal education. There is no need for education to develop these skills."
These skills can grow without formal education.
In fact, sometimes, too much focus on formal education limits these abilities.
A baby learns to speak by observing and copying — not by reading grammar books.
A child imagines stories and games — not by studying creativity chapters.
An uneducated person can solve real problems by thinking practically.
That’s proof:
Observation, thinking, and creativity are born first.
Education should follow — not replace — them.
“If an uneducated person can observe, think, and create, then why can’t an educator do the same — but in a better way? What’s the difference in thinking, creativity, and observation style between an uneducated person and an educated one?”
Example: A farmer notices that crows cry before rainfall. That’s based on his observation of real events.
1. Observation:
Uneducated Person’s Style:
Observes based on direct senses and experience.
Notices patterns in nature, behavior, or situations.
Uses practical logic (what works, what doesn’t).
Educated Person’s Style:
Observes using tools, theories, and data.
Notices patterns but also records, analyzes, and interprets.
Uses systematic thinking to find causes, effects, and solutions.
Example: A meteorologist uses a weather app, barometer, and data to predict rainfall.

2. Thinking:
Uneducated Person’s Style:
Thinks based on intuition, tradition, and personal experience.
May rely on past solutions or common sense.
Practical but limited by environment.
Example: A roadside mechanic uses experience to guess engine faults — and fixes it.
Educated Person’s Style:
Thinks using critical reasoning, logic, research, and frameworks.
Considers alternatives, does what-if analysis.
Connects ideas from multiple fields.
Example: An engineer uses schematics, simulations, and principles of physics to solve the same engine issue — and improve it further.
3. Creativity:
Uneducated Person’s Style:
Creative out of necessity, survival, or natural talent.
Innovation through trial and error.
May lack polish or presentation but is often effective and raw.
Example: A craftsman builds a cart from junk — it works, though it’s rough.
Educated Person’s Style:
Creativity is intentional — combines art + science + design.
Can express ideas more clearly, test them, and scale them up.
Uses tools like AI, software, or theory to enhance creation.
Example: A product designer uses design thinking and 3D software to make a smart, efficient cart — and mass-produces it.

"Split-scene illustration: On the left side, a barefoot villager fixing a water pump with basic tools, thinking deeply under a tree. On the right side, an engineer with a laptop and instruments designing a water pump in a lab. Both have glowing light bulbs over their heads, symbolizing creativity, connected by a line showing equal value in different forms."
