Anyone who knows me knows that I am a book lover, and I firmly believe that the charm of reading is irreplaceable. No matter how impetuous people, as long as they hold a good book in their hands, they can sit quietly for a long time, indulging in the sea of words. Extricate yourself.
I have been reading books for many years. Although I have been exposed to various new themes and categories, there are still a few books that are still my favorite. One of them is "The Fountainhead" written by American philosopher Ayn Rand, a novel around architects. .
Her other book "Atlas Shrugged" is also impressive. The story takes place in a world with well-defined barriers and describes the struggle between the innovators and the predators.
Innovators generally refer to a group of scientists, thinkers, entrepreneurs and musicians who dare to create and imagine. They create countless wonderful new arts and new things to promote social progress and development; while predators will use the name "altruism" to demand Innovators serve the society unconditionally, in order to rob them of their achievements and rewards.
Finally, the innovators could no longer stand it and organized a strike to resist.
When society gradually loses innovators, economic operations will cease immediately.
This set of works published in the 1950s is still inspiring even if it is placed half a century later.
In the novel, the innovator is as important as Atlas in the Greek mythology, holding the earth firmly on his shoulders and supporting everyone's life.
Every new project, product, and organization they create will silently influence people's behavior patterns and lay the foundation for future social changes.
Children are the key to human evolution. They hold the earth firmly on their shoulders and support everyone's future life.

As Albert Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination sums up everything in the world, and is the source of advancement in knowledge." According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Many companies will re-plan the division of labor between humans and machines. In less than two years, nearly 80 million jobs may be replaced; at the same time, about 130 million new jobs will be created.
Innovators of the future need infinite imagination. If they do not change the conservative thinking in their minds, they will only limit the development of personal abilities and imagination, and become the next "copy person" abandoned by the times.
Hong Kong’s education system has focused on hard-knowledge training for many years, so as to replicate a group of workers with similar abilities within a specified time.
The pursuit of education should no longer be limited to economies of scale, but at the same time try to gather knowledge with creativity, assist students to build a broader knowledge inventory and improve their resilience, and face the earth-shaking changes in the future.
Is Hong Kong education hopeless?
Having said that, I must reiterate one point: Although the education model in Hong Kong is traditional, it is not rigid.
At the time of the epidemic of the century, all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong helped themselves and quickly moved their classrooms online, revealing the possibility of educational transformation.
In the current environment, "Blended Learning" of technology-assisted teaching will become the mainstream of the next wave of education.
Online teaching does not simply move the classroom to the Internet, but also requires active interaction between teachers and students to enhance students' concentration and absorptive capacity.
The previous examination model that had been so pretentious also needs to be re-adjusted to give students the space to study independently.
The arrangements for resuming classes were changed day and night, and parents simply turned the living room into a classroom for their children, becoming their teachers and classmates themselves.

In the process of transformation, we need to always be alert to ourselves: inspiring creativity is the key to education today.
The establishment of imagination starts with "personalized learning". Education is no longer limited to one-way teaching, two-way communication and mutual inspiration.
Making good use of real-time learning records and interactive teaching materials will help teachers to formulate corresponding and exclusive learning plans according to the different abilities and needs of students.
I hope that in the near future, I can see that Hong Kong education is based on inspiring imagination, so that "innovators" can give full play to their unique potential so that they can still maintain considerable competitiveness in the unpredictable future world.
This will be the historical task given to all educators by the times.
I hope that in the near future, we can see that Hong Kong education is based on inspiring imagination, so that "innovators" can fully realize their unique potential.
