A Study made a number of years ago said the more education a man has, the less likely he is to be an inventor. Now, the
reason for that is quite simple. From the time the boy or girl starts in school, he or she is examined three or four times a year, and of
course, it is very, very disastrous if he/she fails. An inventor fails all the time and it is triumph if he succeeds once. Consequently, if
education is an inhibition to invention, it is due entirely to the form by which we rate things and not because of any intellectual
differential.
I can take any group of young people any place, and teach them to be inventors, if I can get them to throw off the hazard of
being afraid to fail. You fail because your ideas are not right. You should not be afraid to fail, but you should learn to fail intelligently.
By that I mean, when you fail, find out why you failed, and each time you fail it will bring you nearer to the goal.
3. How are the ideas mentioned in this statement connected, “If education is an inhibition to invention, it is due entirely to the form by which
we rate things”?
A. I is disastrous
C. It is an inhibition to invention
B. It helps people learn and get near their goal
D. It hinders one’s desire to succeed
