Although the education system is updated every day by reducing the burden, I feel it is not the right way to do it, also applying immense pressure is not the correct way. There should be a balance. I loved practicing maths from the older books, as those had a lot of maths to practice. New books have interesting techniques, but that does not cut it.
Being able to be bored and still move on is a superpower! And to be good at something, there is no other way than repetition.
Modern technology has many things to offer, but experience tells me, that one in a thousand uses it effectively to achieve greatness.
