She Turned off the call and started a walk in her room worriedlyShe Turned off the call and started a walk in her room worriedly “What

happened?” asked the

Royal king to his wife and

queen of realm

“Its too late in the night and Kids are still awake. I’ve received complaints from their

instructors that they are not performing well due to lack of sleep. They are now in adolescence and it’s the time they learnt the skills that matter to run the empire.

Instead their lack of sleep is reducing their

performance.

“That’s awful” said the king, “and we need to sort it in a good manner. I have

an idea.

My friend Tina is the Executive Director, Stanford

Technology Ventures Program and she can help us to figure out this issue.” 

“You have brought up a problem to me that many

other people are complaining about too.

I plan to launch a course and I’ll sort out the solutions through it”

The King was worried because Tina’s assistant had told him that there were many complaints about teams not responding and people in various groups not showing up last time they ran the course ………………..

“Don’t worry, the most creative ones will handle it.”

A Crash Course in Creativity

A boy passionate about knowledge and learning came to know about the course in an

under-developed country, Pakistan. The curiosity of knowledge made him register on

Tina’s course. But there are challenges ahead. His teammates were not responding and he could see all the shouts about the problem

Tina’s assistant had told. He came up with the idea and launched a forum, wikis to connect

those who are really passionate.

Aaah see how intelligent our dream box is. It runs at a

specific time only so if you want an entertaining dream you need to be around at a

specific time

That’s so intelligent Tina. We had observed that our kids are awake playing computer games, chatting,

using FB, and watching movies. Now they can do all this in their dream and take a healthy sleep. Give the special degree award to
