I just watched one of his other videos and when it ended I was like “wait,already”?wow

In her later years my mum started to live her life in fear and she still does. It upsets me so much. She is in her late 70s, my dad is in his early 80s and they are both of good health, financially secure, and with nothing to worry about re: me and my brother who both have stable, happy lives. They have both had a brush with cancer and came through it and even that didn't give her a new lease of life. She's been to only 3 countries in the world her entire life, whereas my dad travelled extensively for his job. They don't have holidays, they never travel anywhere, ever. My dad probably would like to but she pumps him with fear that "something might happen to him" medically so it's "safer to stay at home", plus he knows he can't force her to travel anywhere without a screaming match. I have also travelled as much as possible and each time I tell her where I'm going to next she immediately pours fear on it - the plane might crash/hijack/kidnap/mugging/rape/robbery. Never once has she said "oh lovely, have a wonderful time" like everybody else does. She states categorically that "the world isn't a nice place any more" yet she has no experiences to back this up, she judges the entire world from her TV, the news and the Daily Mail. Yes, parts of the world are shitty, but so much of it is wonderful and totally worth seeing. I do not understand what life event happened to her to make her like this and I have made sure I am the exact opposite of all her opinions. So in some ways her fear has made me who I am. She has so much to be grateful for but can't seem to see it and that's what upsets me. I know I will never change her and I can't help but feeling so much of her life hasn't been lived fully. This was her choice but personally I find it a huge shame. It's difficult to visit her because it's just hours of negativity and moaning that sit like an anvil on my shoulders but I also can't just walk away from it all. She is the epitome of "a life lived in fear is a life half lived". She never encouraged me into any career as she assumed I'd have kids and stay at home. I floated some career aspirations to her as a teen and she poured negativity over them and I allowed that to stall my ambitions, which I will forever regret. Parents can do so much damage to their kids' dreams so it's wonderful to hear stories of parents who encourage them instead. Don't be like my mum. Get out there, travel, meet people, try different hobbies - you may be crap at some but you'll never know until you try, and one of them may turn into your lifes passion. I have dived shipwrecks, paraglided with vultures, wingwalked on a Stearman, seen a Solar Eclipse in America, been on TV, walked the red carpet at a European Movie Premiere, met movie stars, and sat in Monument Valley at 4am under the most glittering, beautiful sky of stars I've ever seen. I will keep travelling and chasing my dreams until my dying breath. RIP Sir Ken.

I know Ken has I inspired many people in his professional life and will continue to inspire others even in his death.

Sir Ken’s main teaching circulates around being a success in your own life and not in other eyes. Not what you own, how much you make or who you know, but are you feeling more subtle joy than other feelings in your daily life.

A monumental thinker, one of a kind; in the same league as Hemingway and Plato. The questions he tackles are most fundamental and thoughtprovoking. First of all he is such a humanly human, one of the best examples of our race. And the sense of humor wraps his words in magnificent warm blanket. Thank you Ken, rest in peace! I know, you are not taking your situation too seriously if you can see it now :)

Only just found this. Gutted to go through the comments afterwards to find out he died. His inspiration lives on

Many teachers at last, because of Covid 19 and remote teaching, have helped millions of students to find their hidden talents through transforming their classes from instruction to creative differentiated activities. Through this, students have had opportunities to discover what they CAN do and, even better, their families have helped them and seen them flourish. I know it's not happened everywhere, of course, but where it has happened it is striking.

Being a life coach and specializing in authenticity, I found this terribly refreshing! What a wonder he is! If you think of the Matrix, you realize how many people simply aren't "living" in the true sense. Thank you for downloading this.

What an absolutely amazing eloquent, intellectually stimulating talk. Sir, you will remain etched in our heart. Your book THE ELEMENT speaks of your intellect and your advice so marvelously. I was also inspired by your book OUT OF OUR MINDS. You will be missed forever.

Wonderful man, he just speaks common sense and sanity and just reflects what I think. So sad to know he has died, he could have given a lot more for more years... As someone who struggles a bit with character typologies, think he's bang-on when he says 'learn form them, but don't let them imprison you!

However my wife was supportive. After saving for tools and machines. My passion was felt but a manager of a local office. Im now cooking for them. It will lead to better thing. Never lose hope, and having the tools ready when the chance comes. RIP sir!

I am deeply saddened that this brilliant and witty man has died. The world was a better place when he was alive. He did, however, leave a lasting mark on education - if only the bureaucrats would listen. He always said that the system in the US stifles creativity by trying to make education analogous to producing widgets on an assembly line. Problem is that children are all unique and the system tries to wring that quality out of them until they’re all perfect little widgets.
