Here´s a funny and interesting 20 minutes from last years TEDTalks.
Sir Ken Robinson, author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, speaks about education, the school-system and how it squanders creativity among children and affects us as we become adults.
Robinson says that we have to rethink education and our definition of intelligence and human capacity so we can face the future and changes in society.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
I loved it! Thank you - this has inspired me for a whole year! Just imagine, just imagine how much wonderful change we could bring to this world if we truly embraced these teachings! Thank you! I am inspired to keep howling in the wilderness.
Dominique: Thank you. I´m glad the video inspired you so much.
thank you for this. i can related to much of this growing up. My parents wanted me to be a mathematician. I wanted to be an architect because i loved to draw. They told me i would never get a job in that, and showed me an article in Time Magazine on how math was the FUTURE….and now, years later, I am no longer a scientist, but a fitness coach. I teach adults how to move their bodies.
thanks again for sharing this.

They are veeery uplifting…
