"Learn the rules and then play better." Albert Einstein

Good news today -- a new Minister of Education was appointed in Azerbaijan. The reason I think this is good news is because I know him personally and believe in him. I used to work with him when I was very young and unexperienced and he was one of those very few people who could give good advice. Now, there is always a problem with good advice -- usually, young people with a bit of insanity (like me) are quite dangerous to give good advice to -- if you take away their insanity, you break their dreams...
In short, this piece is not about praising the new Minister. This piece is about asking the new Minister for more insanity! Mr. Minister, please, Baku needs crazy professors, mad teachers and insane instructors in order to help Baku to re-learn to dream. 
So, Mr. Minister, once you learn all the new rules at this new job, please play better: let us dream!
