IMPORTANCE lies in QUESTIONING “WHY?”
“Why is the sky blue?”, “Why are summers hot?”
As a child, you were full of questions about everything.
But when you grew older, somehow, the interest in questioning the simple things in life faded away.
It is important, however, not to lose your impulse to question “why” when you advance into the field of science.
The most important factor in science, what you could consider the starting point of learning, is this impulse.

Those of us involved in the education community need to take a good look at the importance of cultivating “the ability to discover our own questions”, which is even more important during this time of internationalization, and in this information-oriented society.
We must respond to society’s demands for the cultivation of creative brains!
Capable persons not only have the power to solve the problems they receive, but also to search for new problems by taking into consideration “why the problem is present, and how it connects with reality”.
Cultivation of creative brains is really the starting point to creating the future.
