This is the most important message of our time. Thank you Ken, for the book, the lectures and the effort you make to spread your ideas.
The Fireman story resonates with me. My daughter alway wanted to be a nurse. A teacher told her she was too stupid, not clever enough. After many dead end jobs she did a nursing degree and qualified at the age of 45.
Same happen to me I was classically trained on piano from early age got all my grades in piano went to music university etc etc....I'm now forty something and don't play a note nor have a piano.....because I have no passion nor care for it , I basically realised it was my fathers dream and not mine
Ken Robinson Is Great!!!!!!!
Thank You!!!!!
@MrOnairos
I agree and wish you good luck in your quest for a better future.
With greetings from Iran
I love what he says about people doing something they are good at, but don't really love. All kinds of people assume that if we are really good at something we must love it. It's so untrue. I'm tremendously good at a few things that other people think I love, two of which I truly despise. I do them only because I'm good at them. Such a great piece of knowledge to impart on the world.
He is a brilliant communicator. I would like to him to have immense influence over American Education. Perhaps a presidential appointment?
I believe it should be, that people should do what they're interested in. I'm interested in English (because I can write about interesting things) but I'm not a naturally good writer - I have to work hard at it. I believe being good at something, comes hand in hand with caring and being interested in it.
Where was he when I was in school
Just bought the book and look forward to reading it soon.
+Mirza Yawar Baig thoughts on it?
+Zeppin Never got around to reading it…. The true problem with education. lol
Kraven Moorehead ah yea. discipline.. that's a bitch :p
Zeppin lol no doubt. I agree with Robinson, that schools fail kids, but most kids just fail school. The schools are only responsible for failing the kids that pass.
Sir Ken Robinson doesn´t deserve to be listened by a dead audience like that !!!
Thumbs up if you agree
Sir Ken is a very wise man.
Exactly.
personalities are build with aging, it doesnt came as a package when we are born. thus personality can be build, and most importantly people can change if we give them the right condition. if a person doesnt have passionate personality they should get it, fast. it is a positive changes so there is no point of saying its bad to change. for me, it is just people like you how are too comfort with the current system, that lose your ability to think different, will be Sir Ken's biggest rival.
Understand now why England loss to education is America's gain. I really must try harder. Thank you Ken !
My husband and I are teachers who plan to open a charter school based in Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education. If you haven’t heard of her, I encourage you to look her up. Our school will also be a farm school. Reform begins with the individual.
Can we change the wole educational system to achieve Sir Ken Robinson's vision? I'm on board!
Amazing work
The Queen should Knight him as Sir Ken, a champion to transform via education in his paradigm shifting beliefs that single parents & educators in high crime neighborhoods can implement in their raising at risk youths to become leaders of their community. Once the sons and daughters of the rich & powerful also catch this vision in their hearts and wallets, the world will be as safe as more children are engaged in their passionate learning with less money spent to fund over crowded prison system and more left to fund education!!!
If I could ask Mr. Robinson one question it woudl be...how can one become a great teacher?
It's not for everyone. Vespahistory - you are clearly being led by your Lizard brain. It's natural to be scared of taking responsibility for yourself. The rest of us will need people like you to do the jobs we don't want to do. For that we thank you.
Interesting!
i love his humour :)
@saeidmomtahan The general idea is to create a new system that creates situations in which children can discover their talents and perhaps their passion. It would be non-linear, and the child can leave whenever he or she wishes, but the goal is to instill the values and have an environment where the child can grow into his or her true self, and using his or her talents and passion to contribute to society in his or her own way. Highly experimental, will likely take decades of work.
@bananian
where? :(
That's because: 1) you haven't found what you truly love to do or 2) do not have the means( time & money) to pursue it to higher and higher levels.
I cannot hear anything. O.o
@saeidmomtahan But I believe that it will happen sooner or later, and if I am to be a stepping stone in creating/discovering a new and better way to educate our children, then so be it. I shall gladly leave that legacy in the hopes that I will have worked for and contributed to the highest good of all, and not just for myself.
So do you think hes brillant?

I think that you are afraid of people. If there were no rules, everebody is going to atack each other for no reason, just because there is no one who has the power to rule them all. The people, actually, is afraid of being poor, in consecuence, we are selfish and we only thing in ourself. What we are doing now is to give up our responsabilities to someone else. We can`t progress as a society if we cant deal with our own problems by ouserself. The people need to be in charge of his own will
23:30. Looks like there may be 3 Psychopaths. Talk about a bad day.
wow 0% humor.
Mr. Ken. PAULO COELHO is too mispronounced. Try: Paulo Coelio. Is better.
dead crowd...
Education system is a disaster may I say.
This man is a gifted communicator - we need more like him.
There is so much to love about this keynote. I completely agree about education being to linear and eliminating creativity. I love Kens humour and of the many quoteable bits "its not enough to be good at something, its about finding the thing that resonates with you most fully" and "Its that point, the point at which natural talent meets a passion". Fab stuff!
Very true. Often these people creating the educationalsystem don´t value creativity at all. Yet they´d not live without television or a trip to the circus or a trip to exotic places...
I love Sir Robinson's delivery. If only teachers and professors made learning so much fun, and with his phylosophy, the world would be a better place, because people would LOVE learning, and then they'll LOVE their jobs 😊
he quite likes tautologies and dislikes teleologies, if you watch his other videos
He so eloquently describes all the reasons why I wanted to become a teacher and have a passion for education - but sadly, also the reasons why I left education rather than bang my head against the system for the rest of my life. :-(
i love sir ken's vision for a better world.
He has certainly put more thought into it than most people. If educationalpolitics was made for the sake and security for people then many things would be better and Sir Ken would be elected immediately.
Passion is by all means the best of humanity and it's drive. But we will not find many people who say they are have a passion for farming. Many want careers in the arts which are easy to express passion but the latent consequence is lack not enough passionate farmers. The market is ungodly.
I believe people nowadays do have passion for growing food..
If we could have a world were everyone loved their job and everything about life we would have accomplished a lot. But unfortunately things aren´t lke that.
This point isnt countering what he is saying. His lecture is about the educational system failing its students and that we should explore different and more beneficial ways of educating our youth.

Powerful stuff on finding your unique talents
"It is not about standardizing..." - I think this is the main point and it is one that was missed by whoever cooked up the so-called common core idea.
+72Yonatan whoa careful man. The internet is full of leftists just waiting to jump on opponents of their religion.
+Kraven Moorehead - Your comment only makes sense if you are assuming that liberalism is the new religion of the left, intended to replace whatever came before.
72Yonatan well, your comment only makes sense if you intended to use the modern connotation of "liberalism", also known as progressivism, statism, authoritarianism. I prefer those terms, because liberalism in its original sense described Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ayne Rand and even Alexander Hamilton to an extent, not Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Barrack Obama, or Elizabeth Warren.
If you did, the answer to your interrogative statement is, yes.
Kraven Moorehead - I will agree with your classification adjustments entirely. What being liberal once meant has no connection to the current corporate authoritarianism that we live under. And that is just the tip of the iceberg of evil that they do. I am not familiar with Elizabeth Warren but will try to investigate her. We get news about all the others here in Israel, although far less than what you must be inundated with there.
Brave New World and 1984 have unfortunately arrived and are functioning, and they are our worst nightmare and certainly nothing that Jefferson would have recognized. It all started off so well, I am in shock at what has happened. And our educational system has kept us all in the dark.
The crimes committed by the government against its own citizens go under various guises. But something is wrong with a society that locks up so many people. Prisons as a business are not what they were intended to be originally. And there are so many other issues. Heaven help us to defeat all this evil.
Ken, I think you may like too see my you tube, when I get around to finishing it- my element is too 'fix the system'. I would've liked my speech/talk completed by end March. Now, I hope and wish to nail this before this month over, April 2013. It will be called "UMBRELLA WOMAN IN 2013...." I'm umbrella woman. It right up your ally. And thanks for your informative words like chocolate they make you feel and think, just right.
He is brilliant, I could listen to him all day ...... and as others says his humour is absolutely brilliant
there must be a Ken Robinson in every country.... this is the revolution we need...
Talent and ability are at the heart of social change. Oh, and don't vote conservative. Top tips.
I just finished The Element! Fantastic!
Talk by Sir Ken Robinson
"The problem for human beings is often not that we aim too high and fail, it's that we aim too low and succeed."
He reminds me of Michael Caine.
That attitude you have is the reason you might not make money off your passion. And what decent happy life? Going to a 9-5 everyday coming home tired and stressed and complaining to your spouse/children about the shitty conditions/people/boss at work? Then longing for something more? Or regretting things you haven't done? That's what most of the "decent happy life" people end up doing.
i have been in so much pain because all the bits that i carry that are not mine. and yet i cannot get rid of them quite yet, unless i run away from home!
Amazing, inspiring man! Thank you! XXX
I wish he was the prime minister ...however prime ministers are usually out for power ...and this guys to nice for that mores the pity!!
The social dynamic between Ken Robinson and the interviewer (2nd half of the video) is so weird!
love this man's sense of humour!
Such a good video, i'll share with everyone i think it will help.
I am in love with the way this man thinks.. I so envy the channel of of thought Sir Ken has!
The first half of this was great but in the second half it gets awesome and dangerous.
I read the book and it is so heavily underlined and now annotated by me that I feel I could recite the entire book. It is a must read for anyone who feels that their day job is leaving them unfulfilled.
what's wrong with the audience?...or is there one there at all?
what a book! one of the greatest books i've ever read. life changing.
thank you sir!
What are examples of someone's element that they found?
brilliant!! thanks very much
Lol, the talking cats video is on the side of this video!
@MrOnairos It's Ok if it takes decades for it to work, isn't it? I mean a formal education takes decades to work also, and sometimes in the end, it doesn't even work. I was educated as an engineer. After a year and a half gave it up and became a photographer. Now after 20 years of doing that i'm looking for the next thing to do.
I think the idea should be that the search must never stop. Whether it be for knowledge, new experiences, new skills, ideas, and ways to contribute.TNX for ur insight
I love what i do - I have since i was a child. I am 50 now, and I will always love what I do. It's BECAUSE I love it that I've become good at it. I was not a natural at first.
Brilliant, funny and down to earth.
Yeah.... the audience doesn't seem to though??
I love this guy!!!!!!!!
Yes, what if? Can't think of an example.
What if you are not good at anything ?
truly inspirational
Matching talent and passion is the secret of your own fulfillment
10:00 bookmarking :D, also does anyone have his email I would love to write an email to him
Find your element!
May I ask you what your personal element is that you found?
Spot On!
He could do stand-up.
It's because of you Sir Ken that I stopped working in email marketing and started university to study Equine Science at the age of 27. I could never thank you enough...

@Mu5clehead *shakes head* All parents should read it before sending their offspring to kindergarten. I hope it will change 'the world'.
Gracias :)

I just pre-ordered the dutch edition of the book..before watching this video actually.
love his sense of humor, and intelligence at the same time
Love this guy, his delivery is brilliant
@BrashOfKhaamph LOL. He reminds me of the Dramatic Gopher: watch?v=Ey3PbD75cjc
@MrOnairos
What do you have in mind?
Simple: Love teaching.
I don't have a good answer here. My guess is something along the lines of having a passion for educating, caring that your students are engaged, teahc a material that you yourslef are deeply interested in. I wonder if there are more hardware kind of techniques that the best educators use or is there some etherial quality that great teachers have; and either you have it or you don't. I am told I am already a pretty good instructor, but I want to be even better. I want to be epic!
"My teacher is boring, therefore I can't learn'. Once you allow a teenager to use that as an excuse to do poorly, you will find all you child's teachers are "boring". Are we supposed to fire a teacher because they are boring? Not everyone has a passionate personality, should they get penalized? How does Sir Ken's world actually work? My guess is that it doesn't but it makes for a nice talk.
15100niko, I think you have a mistaken notion about both anarchy and democracy. Democracy is not the same as mob rule. In any system there will have to be a way to determine rules. In democracy, the rules we all play by are determined by people compromising to the point where people can live with the rules. Not perfect, but not bad.
Anarchy, on the other hand, doesn't remove the need for rules, only the stability that almost any other system would provide. Your freedom would have no protection.
I recommend people start with educating yourself about the difference between the systems; I recommend this video which explains the difference between Monarchy, Oligarchy, Democracy, Republic and Anarchy - do a youtube search for democracy versus republic.
I agree with that video stating that Republic is the best form, it holds stable even though personnel within government shifts. The missing ingredient is stricter regulation on who can add/remove or change the Republic rules.
No, you didnt understand that i meant. I was talking about Anarchy and it`s nothing to do with monarchy or facism. You are wrong, democracy, in my opition its not an option. Think about this, do you like your parents to always tell you what to do? I dotn think so. Nor do I. Democracy is just like that, the mayority is telling you what to do, how to live, how to earn money, what is good and what if wrong if a your good person or not. I dont like that
best option is democracy but with good people up to handle power.In monarchy or fasicm problem is things go to according to one man.for instance if king is science-loving tech flourices in society,if he's more of an artist art developes and the society would be with one man in centre,that's worst nightmare. If i was king of india i would bane cricket ,because i hate it so fucking much but doesn't mean everyone does , i would hang the capatalists but that maybe wrong , who knows. so you're wrong.
