The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything

[@sandraromero3336]

I absolutely love Sir Ken Robinson´s talks. I have followed him everywhere, I have accompanied him in most of his speeches. Even though his talks are quite long, he doesn´t allow you to lose interest at any time. I appreciate very much his sense of humor and of course his wisdom. Thank you very much, Sir, for your huge contribution toward Human Strive.

What an educater.wish i had had teachers like him..

[@TheHeartOne]

Sir Ken Robinson is my guru and hero in his astonishing views on the value of creating an environment that is creative and passionate, regardless of the field you have chosen to work!

[@patriotpie2637]

I just watched a video of him titled "How to escape education's death valley." Wow! So grateful I've found this voice in the world.

You have a unique talent for making everyone feel like a valued part of your community. Cheers to inclusivity! 🎉

[@AudioArcturia]

I'm heartbroken I never got to meet you. There were so many questions I had for you - so much gratitude I wanted to share from how you've reshaped my life as a student. My second semester back in college I had to write a journal article about creative education and its ability to reshape future generations, and all I could do was dedicate my thanks. I will likely never be an educator, but I will do my best to share what I've learned from you as I grow older. The world is a little less bright without you.

[@JobLazarusOkello]

May the world be brighter because of you.

46:31 "His Mum ,His Mother"- How refreshing to hear some formality !

[@fardinamalik7347]

He is the Renaissance man we all needed to save the next generation of children! I’m not in the education field but I hope he left behind mentees and protege that can carry out his legacy with honor! He had profound understanding and respect of human lives, our purposes and so glad he was able to talk so eloquently and touch everyone’s heart!

[@AJ-mu1cd]

Sad to hear about the death of Sir Ken. I loved his ideas and the way he put forward them

[@itsnlee]

First discovered him recently because of a ted talk last year. Now I routinely watch his lectures when I find them. Got way too emotional listening to this because I do have a creative passion, but it's the system (and parents) that told me what subjects I should or shouldn't value. But I also think it's my own fault for not being firm with what I wanted to chase. Got into university and enduring a stem degree, and never been so depressed. Thank you Sir Ken Robinson for giving me the courage to not give up my dream.

[@english14s]

I love this revelation of a guy! Game changer! God bless him!

[@anasaula6688]

i am listening to this now and we are in 2024, so… yes, artificial intelligence is on. Your friend had a good prediction sir. And, about your book, yes i read it from time to time 😊

[@yarugatyger1603]

My school prepared us for a certain set of future jobs and studies, in the end, most students only said; I will study economics, I will study medicine, I will study law, I will study hotel management. Yes, we had a few outliers that ended up studying art or design but we had people talented in other things that just answered why they are studying economics because everyone is.

[@pcr2088]

It all sounds so wonderful especially for someone like me who would have enjoyed my earlier education days, but the world would have to change first at least in each respective countries, How can one pursue something that would but ensure a hard life even though one really enjoys doing it. Don't get me wrong. I am all for it after passing the first half of life and hopefully wiser. At the age of wandering and the scary teen years, and adding the pressure from anxious parents to pursue a path of their choosing, this is not an easy choice. The corporations would also oppose it if everybody decided to pursue their dreams when the country badly needs computer programmers for example. If given the choice, very few would want a desk job these days. Lucky are the ones who know what they want to do and discover their passion at an early age.

[@thecleeds]

just watched this talk - illustrates how quickly technology moves - it's amazing that even 7 years ago the term "artificial intelligence" was not mentioned, but is now ubiquitous

[@nupian06]

(15:53-16:41), i liked that part of sir Ken's lecture

[@cherryliang5117]

What happens to people who never discover a talent? This kind of ideas creates anxiety for people who can't find what they love or have talents for. The people he mentioned are all exceptionally talented

[@pkingo1]

If you do what you enjoy - you'll become talented at it. If you can't find what you love, then that should be your main priority... and our culture should create conditions in which people are given space to creatively explore and discover their passion. Your anxiety can mean different things, a lack of trust in your own ability to find what you love, or feeling bad over being reminded you're not actually following your hearts desire.

[@robertmaxa6631]

"What happens to people who never discover a talent?" Life just goes on. You work, pay bills, and so on. That's it, there ain't no more. If you're lucky, you'll get to travel a bit.

[@julian88]

You don't have to be exceptionally talented to be better at something than others. Everyone is better at certain activities than some other people due to differences in personal physiology, mental and emotional attributes etc. Being better (and worse) at certain things is naturally given to everyone. These talents are often obvious for the external observer, but some people simply need encouragement and mentoring to recognise and value them...which would exactly be the role of a personalised education system.

Why Microsoft doesn't put name of the spiker in title or description. I think that's valuable information. Next example what quality MS is. They only copy Google initiatives, the same speeches, but just to do it, but without attention to details, as MS are doing with they products?

[@vsstdtbs3705]

I cant watch any speaker hosted by Microsoft. Their anti-competitive behaviour has ruined many companies, now they are trying to pose a good image.

[@ceebotf2]

He's right that kids now are learning and reaching close to their biological IQ faster than ever, they barely need teachers other than the basics of spelling, reading and writing/soon to be typing only, the rest ''can'' be learned on-line. He is wrong to suggest it as a net positive though. If the internet, apps, etc were to be fully integrated into the school system it would allow more channels and diversity of education, faster more effective education etc. This sounds pure positives but it isn't, it would soon level off to were only the few digital education paths and careers become dominant and then the same bottle neck (All be it bigger in scale) would arise. Under capitalism profit drives everything, including education, this is why education currently is heavily academic based, it suites the current industries of interest (although those industries have peaked and are in decline). One of the bigger industries now is ofc technology, the internet, data mining, digital advertising, etc. It's no coincidence that the rise of the internet soon followed with the academic rise in sociology, psychology, obviously technology, and so forth, since those better understand what people are doing on-line and how they can be turned into a commodity. Advertisers now use the vanity of youtubers and similar platforms to interact with their followers to push goods, that was not the case some 10 year ago. On-line gamers are now also making millions from it, people watch it, they are ripe for advertising.. so you expect to see more dominant pushes away from traditional educational values or sports and more into digital (not saying this in itself is good or bad). I would not go as far as to say education will include lessons on how to be a good gamer or youtuber.. but they will run parallel as another means for profit. Anyway the point is, as long as a profit driven economy is the dominant force, education will bottle neck into where the profits are, guaranteed. Btw I am not saying capitalism should be replaced with socialism or communism.. just pointing out the core issue of education under capitalism.
