" The function of education is to teach one to think critically. Intelligence plus character-- that is the goal of true education." (Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1963)

You don’t have to be smart to be intelligent. You just need character, and think outside the box. Stated by Martin Luther King Jr., "The function of education is to teach one to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education." To think outside the picture is thinking critically, and intelligence and character can get you real education.
       To make my baby cousin Jai, 5, learn the respect and care for others I teach him, to think critically. Since my cousin is young he doesn’t have a lot of manners so teaching him proper educate is the first step. Teaching how to be nice and respectful and share is just that. Also, he is a older brother, his younger brother Krish is only two years old so, I thought and if I teach Jai about manners and other things he will teach Krish too! Jai, and Krish both have lots of character, since they are so young they explore things so they learn facts making them intelligent. Said in the quote Intelligents, and character is true education, Jai and Krish both have that. 
Aslam Bin Laden is a very intelligent person. All though he is terribly bad and kills innocent people he thinks critically.  Thinking intelligently, and critically he send people that work for him in battle and killing so he is safe and his people ether die or go to jail. For example 9/11 the attack of the twin towers he was not in the plane his people were therefore he is a coward because he let those people die instead of himself. But then again his people were just as bad because they decide to do these things.   Sadly 9/11 killed many, many people and too think Bin Laden was actually satisfied with what he did.
     Anybody can be intelligent but not smart, just think of what Bin Laden did he is intelligent but not smart for the things he did. “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” (Abraham Lincoln) Bin Laden thought he was please everybody in Pakistan he is a failure for thinking that wrong.

  1. Sweta, good job on this post! But, the directions were to choose a quote we had to memorize in class and write a essay on that one quote. I saw that you had it at the end, but that one was supposed to be your main one. One thing you should work on is making your sentences into complete sentences, They sound more like phrases. I also disagree with you when you said that Aslam Bin Laden was a coward not going on the plane. I think he wasn't on the plane because if he died then who would take his place? He probably has more evil plans that wouldn't work without him. All in all, you did a great job! =)
