Weekend readings - 25 Feb'22 : Edition 77
A compilation of few interesting, multi-disciplinary links from the internet
We tend to believe that anyone who is born after us has a lesser intellect than us. But at the same time, we are not willing to believe that anyone who was born before us, was wider than us. That is wrong. Intelligence and intellect, after a person has become an adult, is equaled. They are equals. And you must have respect for the younger generation because they understand the contemporary world better than you. You have something that they don’t know, but they also have a lot that you don’t know - Javed Akthar [LINK]
