Ken Robinson on Passion from The School of Life on Vimeo.

in our culture - not to know is to be at fault socially
people pretend to know lots of things they don't know
the worst thing is to not know, to not have an opinion

[no one is quite so funny/witty/spot on]

the other climate crisis.. (maybe this) most people have no idea what they're capable of - many conclude that they have none
if you're a human being - talent comes with the kit
the most distinctive - power of imagination

biologically like many other species, but culturally - way diff
like power of imagination we also have the power of creativity

some discover those and some don't, those who don't, think they don't have any

some are in their element
1) doing something for which you have a natural capacity - you get it
2) doing it because you love it

we are not linear

being good at something isn't a good enough reason to do it - not to spend your life at it..

being in your element doesn't necessarily guarantee you financial riches.. but it does garner you - what' animates your life..

at the end of the day....it's about energy
if you're following your passion - you get energy from it

i'm not what has happened to me - i am who i choose to become - carl jung
