[notes for self] - Being born is a miracle, are you going to waste it or do something interesting? - When you're in your element, you can't tell 1 hour from 5 mins; At the end of the week, you can be physically exhausted, but spiritually uplifted. - You have to be the change you want to see occur. you can't promote what you're insensitive to, can't teach creativity if you aren't creative yourself.

too many jokes,too little (and sorry for saying) obvious insights,(wouldn't call them bombshells)..too many examples,I actually think it is a bad lecture.

I absolutely love every talk that I've heard from Sir Ken Robinson! He's so amazingly witty with his humor and the way he carries his speeches, however there is so much wisdom that I wish more people would discover. I'm very much on the same page in a lot of my observations and feelings about the world as I know it, but he is so great at putting it in words. Every person on this earth should be honored with the opportunity to find who they are, themselves, without the projections of others telling them what they should be. Test the waters yourself, learn as you go, and become ever so wiser as you learn to make sense of the world. Don't be normal. Don't strive for perfect. They're both a paradox or reality. Neither exist. Be creative. Be imaginative. Be a dreamer. Test new things and learn to live YOUR life. Be you!!!

My CV is quite a hodge podge, but I can say I found something to be passionate about in each job. Not necessarily the whole job, but certain elements of it. For example ending the day knowing that all the filing is in order, or all the data correctly entered, is a source of satisfaction, something to look forward to when I see the fresh heap the next working day. A happy Sisyphus? Well yes, and the fact that one gets paid for it helps...

Kenneth Robinson delivers a fascinating talk with the skill of a stand-up comic. An amazing man.

He is so on point when says people think of life in linear fashion... wow... just an amazing speaker. Had me laughing all throughout.

You know you're passionate about your life's work(now really play), when you aren't focused on sex, addictions, but always have a smile and looking for a challenge with good humour. Try that ! The next frontier is not in outer space or in the ocean depths, but our minds !. How good can we get , while helping others, and the planet !!

Free will and learned helplessness are not the only options. Perhaps free will doesn't exist and yet one can still have a sense of agency - or, as someone once said, you have no choice but to feel you have free will!

There is nothing more amazing than a witty brain

I love this guy... partly because he’s really entertaining, but mostly because he’s a true expert in his field.

Sir ken's philosophy and approach towards life is so deep yet so simple. It is amazing how he delivers even the deepest of thoughts with such a humour.

Thank you for your lesson. Everything is true. Life is not linear. I recently started a new career, in which I do use my talent. It brings me so much joy, and energy, even when I work a lot and my body is tired. Hopefully I get to grow and make a good living as well. Thank you again!

I'm a christian but applaud what is done at the school of life, bringing people who desire a better world with or without faith is wonderful. I would never tire of listening to Sir Kenneth Robinson, his talks such sense and uses wonderful examples with comedy to lighten the tone.

His humor indicates his deep insight, in my view

My true passions always lay outside of my physical and mental capabilities. And this is true for most people. That's why we do horrible things and entertain ourselves with meaningless escapism. The truth is we're a residual; we've never made it. But we're forced to keep going nevertheless.

Indigo Osmanthus Well said, this is how I've felt about life for a long time, but if I've learned anything from the life i've lived thus far, it is that the residual dust that we become after are hopes and dreams are shatter is not the end of the story by far. Though we cannot see from the evidence before us that life is still worth a shot, if we look at death we know (regardless of your spiritual belief or even what belief is true) that those that lie in the graveyard are the only ones that no longer have any potential in this life. If you are still breathing there is still hope for you yet, and your life is not over nor your purpose fulfilled. Sometimes people only live long enough to motivate others to pursue their passions, and one cannot overstate the satifaction that can be had from helping someone else to discover their passion, develop it, or just do that which they love to do. However, I don't believe you when you say your true passion lies outside of your ability, if you're not good a doing what you love, do it anyways, after all what else is worth doing, you can always get better at it or perhaps discover that you love do something else even more. Also, who are you listening to when you say that you can't do it? Are you listening to the culture that we live in that is brutal on anyone thats not the best at what they do? Or perhaps the lies others have told you in the past? Whoever you're listening to or whatever message you're heeding that limits you to monotny is wrong, you are capable of much more than you think and than you allow yourself to be... I for one am a terrible musician but a pretty good lyricist, and I love music and I want to go into music production, I don't anticipate an easy road ahead of me but that what I love doing, so I am going to do it. I may find I hate it, at which point I'll review my course but thats not important. The important thing is to strive to do the best you can at what you love and I intend to do so, I hope and pray that you, and everyone else, does too. When we all strive to do our best we can at what we love, I think we'll find that we will help others to the same along the way. And there's something incredibly beautiful about that.

David Ochoa Life demands us to live on. DNA demands us to live on. I believe we live in a constant state of compromise to make ourselves feel like life is still worth living. For the good of the species. You would like to be a good musician and a good producer, but you aren't achieving the quality in both because of your own glass ceiling, so you settle for the next plausible choice which incorporates and only incorporates fine-tuning the skill you already know you're capable of. The goodness we're capable of is always "good enough"; the talents that we have encapsulated always make us "talented enough". And if things don't go according to plan, we constantly find new medical or spiritual explanations as to why people have failed. The concept that if one is good at something, one should just do it instead of wasting time trying to reach for the moon of another planet, is pretty much the epitome of that compromise.

@spqrd13

9 жыл бұрын

Indigo Osmanthus You're right, that is the epitome of that compromise. The funny thing is I met someone this weekend who totally changed my mind about my compromise, and I've choosen to perform as well as produce and compose. You said that you believe we live in a constant state of compromise, but you haven't considered the fact that there are others who aren't aware of your belief and live without compromising anything. However, there is a compromise that does exist and affects everyone, I realized it as I thought about what I believe about our worth as people. I came to the conclusion that everyone is worth just as much as anyone else, for reasons including but not limited to our potienial, but for this arguement I will be focusing on poteintial. I find that it is selfevident that we all have infinite potiential, anyone is capable, not of anything, but of their own unique combination of anything. To illustrate this concept I think of the infinite amount of numbers between 1 and 2 and the infinite numbers between 2 and 3, they are both infinite but none of the numbers between 1 and 2 are between 2 and 3 and vice versa but that does not change the infinite possiblitity of either ranges. The compromise lies in what we can do and our physical limitations, and by that I do not mean our 'glass ceilings' or the physical limitation of sight a blind man has but rather the limitation on the number of things we can do at once, or the opportunity cost we face with every decision we make. If I do one thing I cannot also be doing something else because i'm limited to being in one place at a time doing one thing at a time and not every possible thing I have the potential to do in a given moment.

@lilacosmanthus

9 жыл бұрын

David Ochoa except doing something and mastering something are completely different achievements. I'd agree our potential is large, but most definitely not infinite, and most definitely easily corruptible. Humans as a species... in fact, all organic compounds as an entity, will hit a plateau. And evolution will halt. I believe that all those who think they do not compromise only think so because they're content/satisfied when compromising and do not see that they in fact are. As a society we have to believe in the value of humans and their equality because that's what keep people content. And keeping people content prevents the waste of energy and resources. In reality, some will always be more equal than others. But I think I'm digressing.

We should be able to explore things we don't know, without feeling embarrased that we don't know anything about it ~Ken Robinson

Insightful and witty lecture! Brilliant!

Sir Robinson's speeches resonate in my mind. He is definitely up there with Sagan, Sartre, Diderot etc.

This is absolutely timeless! one of the most amazing & educating videos that I ' ve ever seen, yet couldn't possibly be said any simpler and funnier! Thank you Ken

I wish that Sir Ken was around when I was growing up in the 50s 60s and 70s. I had to figure this out all on my own. It is great to know that I was not the crazy one, or maybe I was the crazy one, but know I have the validation of someone that makes his life work of teaching this subject. Thank you.

Thank you sir ken !!! The color yellow stands for consciousness !!! I would move to build a school of joy in my country lebanon... Our country is void of love and the kids are suffering!!!

Great talk. Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. Embrace life, your interests and abilities and be brave enough to live life a day at a time.

Such a great person.

Truly wonderful lecture exploring creativity and the possibilities of life. I'm inspired!

"Congratulations!! you made it where billions didn't" and the first thing I though was, "and the rest ended up in a tissue..."

Alright now, 50 minutes of delight, of frequent laughter and also a sense that this lecture is finding fertile ground within my being. I've enjoyed the stories very much. There is something wonderful about a speech or lecture that can reach beyond a culture and speak to more than one age group. I appreciate every thought put forward.
