The inherent potential of a person.

I often wonder, what is the real potential of an individual, how do we as a collective use the potential that we have inside ourselves? There are often discussions about how terrible education systems are for really unlocking young peoples potential. I don't think we can create the perfect system for this, resources are too limited, and politics get in the way.

I'd say we look at knowledge as too much of a binary thing, for example, maths often looked at in a way, where you are just either great at it, or terrible at it. Why can't we be good at certain elements? I'm not sure why, and while I have no real conclusion, I think we need to rethink certain things.
