Sir Ken Robinson on Creativity
TED is a conference held once every year. The most brilliant thinkers of our time are invited to speak of their lives and specialties (think: our lifetimes Socrates, our Einstein, our Turing), with the mission to inspire. It’s been held since 1984 and has recently been open to the public.
Sir Ken Robinson, knighted in 2003 for his work in education, the arts, and creativity, obtained his PhD from University of London in 1981. He’s advised numerous countries, organizations, and institutions on a number of subjects, but focuses mainly on the repercussions of suppressing creativity.
It’s only a few minutes long, watch the entire presentation.

One of the best excerpts, “If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.” — and continues to say, our modern education system is built entirely with the idea of “being wrong” as the worst possible outcome of any test of your capacity.
