What is truth? Does one have to believe something in order to know it?

Truth is perfect and eternal, it cannot be found in the world of matter that is both imperfect and
constantly changing.
As the ancients said: I think, therefore I am. Because different people have the same experience
and inner world, someone have to believe something in order to know truth.
After reading the related books and infeomation, we can kown the ideal of these. Like most
idealists embrace that material world is characterized by change, instability and uncertainty
therefore believed that ideas are the only reality, it is also influenced my personal, education and
how I lived my life.
Idealist like Kant and Plato put emphasis on the importance of the teacher’s role in education and
the learning progress of the student. It is evident right on in our education whether here in the
Philippines or all over the world teacher should possess virtues not only qualified to teach but
most importantly be a role model.
It's like a lot of famous sayings in our lives, using idealism to tell us a lot of philosophy. To put it
this way: "Attitude is the key to a person's success." "Attitude" represents our heart and what we
insist on. This sentence warns us that if we want to succeed, we must have a positive attitude.
when i was during the period of junior school, i just was the normal girl with the normal grade.
But you know that it is important if you can get a high grade and the prior name, and you can
choose a better university which might help you get a good job. So it is a significant time.The
teacher told us that the persistence is more important than talent. I believed that, and I had tried
it, and got the higer grade.
Thus, I think it is a part of the idealism which can guide us during the education, the teacher is a
model role who guide us to the truth.
