CQ + PQ > IQ

First, there was IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which most of us are acquainted with. Then there's EQ (Emotional Quotient).. Not too long ago, the experts told us that you also need to have AQ (Adversity Quotient).

Now, in order to survive in the Flat New World, Thomas Friedman says that the children need to have CQ (Curiosity Quotient) and PQ (Passion Quotient), so that they will be successful... A Passion to Learn, and a Curiosity to Discover. "Nobody works harder at learning than a curious kid".. because curious, passionate kids are self-educators, and self-motivators. The best way to make kids love learning is to instill in them a sense of curiosity, by great teaching, or stimulate their own innate curiosity by making available to them all the technologies of the flat-world platform so they can educate themselves in an enormously rich way.
i agree with Mr. Friedman about this curiosity and passion theory... this way, the parents won't hafta worry about the kid not being able to cope with the stressful education system.
