So far it's all going swimmingly for them. The whole world is in Rockefeller's 2010 lockstep, lock-down, muzzled up to the eyeballs and socially distanced. Wonder what the wonderful Sir Ken would make of all this.

    In her later years my mum started to live her life in fear and she still does. It upsets me so much. She is in her late 70s, my dad is in his early 80s and they are both of good health, financially secure, and with nothing to worry about re: me and my brother who both have stable, happy lives. They have both had a brush with cancer and came through it and even that didn't give her a new lease of life. She's been to only 3 countries in the world her entire life, whereas my dad travelled extensively for his job. They don't have holidays, they never travel anywhere, ever. My dad probably would like to but she pumps him with fear that "something might happen to him" medically so it's "safer to stay at home", plus he knows he can't force her to travel anywhere without a screaming match.
    I have also travelled as much as possible and each time I tell her where I'm going to next she immediately pours fear on it - the plane might crash/hijack/kidnap/mugging/rape/robbery. Never once has she said "oh lovely, have a wonderful time" like everybody else does. She states categorically that "the world isn't a nice place any more" yet she has no experiences to back this up, she judges the entire world from her TV, the news and the Daily Mail. Yes, parts of the world are shitty, but so much of it is wonderful and totally worth seeing. I do not understand what life event happened to her to make her like this and I have made sure I am the exact opposite of all her opinions. So in some ways her fear has made me who I am. She has so much to be grateful for but can't seem to see it and that's what upsets me. I know I will never change her and I can't help but feeling so much of her life hasn't been lived fully. This was her choice but personally I find it a huge shame. It's difficult to visit her because it's just hours of negativity and moaning that sit like an anvil on my shoulders but I also can't just walk away from it all. She is the epitome of "a life lived in fear is a life half lived". She never encouraged me into any career as she assumed I'd have kids and stay at home. I floated some career aspirations to her as a teen and she poured negativity over them and I allowed that to stall my ambitions, which I will forever regret. Parents can do so much damage to their kids' dreams so it's wonderful to hear stories of parents who encourage them instead.
    Don't be like my mum. Get out there, travel, meet people, try different hobbies - you may be crap at some but you'll never know until you try, and one of them may turn into your lifes passion. I have dived shipwrecks, paraglided with vultures, wingwalked on a Stearman, seen a Solar Eclipse in America, been on TV, walked the red carpet at a European Movie Premiere, met movie stars, and sat in Monument Valley at 4am under the most glittering, beautiful sky of stars I've ever seen. I will keep travelling and chasing my dreams until my dying breath. RIP Sir Ken.

    ‘If you do something you don’t care for, you might be physically fine, but depressed.’
    Never have I heard someone say exactly what I’ve been feeling for the past 4 years. I’m existing but not really living. Sir Ken Robinson’s talks are such a healing gift I wished he was still alive today.

    Thank you Dr Ken Robinson. I found my element in my catering, even though my family had theirs. I was asked to inherited it but declined. I felt their model was based on not what I felt what I wanted to cook. I worked and worked for minimum wage job, Domino driver while testing my food on everyone. Life was not easy. However my wife was supportive. After saving for tools and machines. My passion was felt but a manager of a local office. Im now cooking for them. It will lead to better thing. Never lose hope, and having the tools ready when the chance comes. RIP sir!

      Omg. Same. No one ever uses it correctly, it's always "a myriad of" and I'm like nooo. (But then, when you're the only one that uses it correctly in your day to day, people think *you're* wrong 😭)

    I just came across this video today and found that I could listen to Sir Ken indefinitely. He was so authentic, inspirational, and funny. At the end of the video, I scrolled down to get more information, and the first comment I saw said that Sir Ken passed away about a month ago. I am profoundly saddened. I will definitely be watching any of his other videos that I can find, as well as reading his books. Thank you, Sir Ken, for finding your element and sharing it with us.

    this is a great talk. Let's acknowledge the impact that our obsessive relationship with productivity has on this entire topic. IE CAPITALISM, wealth/health disparities, everything.
    No wonder - people are disengaged to SURVIVE (get the good job, live the life-script and wonder why you're still unhappy).

    Found my element at age 8 years old. Lived it every day my entire life, made it my livelyhood and career. Retired 14 years ago but am still working in my element and intend to do so until I'm no longer able. I believed I planned everything but life evolved around me unexpectedly. Took every opportunity and enjoyed the good and the bad. Attitude is everything and perseverance it's partner.

    I had my dream job, I saw it as part of my identity. Then I was made redundant as part of the recession in 2007 and that brought on a long struggle with depression. I didn't just have to adjust to a new job, I had to form a new identity.

  • @cathie223
    @cathie223 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for sharing phenomenal speech of Sir Ken Robinson. I plan to recommend it to others, as it is well worth giving much attention for those whom have an interest in their daily study time. It will inspire, impact and possibly change your life, or at least your mindset in someway of your beliefs or thoughts about others aptitudes; IQ, EQ and yes, even LQ.
    As an employee thrilled to assist older age communities in the health and well-being industry, of all wealth of thoughts shared, the following comment hit a cord…
    “You should never resent getting old, it’s a privilege denied to many.”
    Every day we have an opportunity by our words, actions or deeds to positively, or adversely impact someone… Our Walk is Our Talk.
    When we meditate on God’s Word we can hear His Voice, audibly if we read the Bible out-loud 😉, and when we take on His instructions our lives begin to bring forth light, even though we see through a glass dimly as imperfect beings.
    The Holy Spirit is our helper, providing us guidance and direction, so we can begin to understand our soul more intimately, and we begin living earnestly in righteousness - acting in accord with Divine or Moral Law: free from guilt or sin.
    A life directed by God’s Word, and Christ who gives us abundant grace, will lead us further forward into transformation. That is when we can begin entering into the knowledge of being in our element, our daily activities for which we are passionate - Our Calling aka Our Purpose - when the unplanned possibilities occur and sometimes take our breath away.
    It’s a kind of happiness, peace, contentment, and an inner power based upon giving up our own life to live for Christ. That is when God further ignites and empowers our soul, our physical vessel, to best express absolute truth and outwardly His love for one another.
    Lord, help us today to be transparent, genuine and authentically an example of You, to be intentionally interested in doing good 🙂vs. being an outright ‘ouch’ 🤕to our fellow man. Renew us each morning, as Students in this Lifetime set our perspectives and passions rightfully altered, and enable us to be fully present, prepared, connected and satisfied at each day’s end. And, help us Jesus to learn (understand) that we must decrease, so that You can increase in our everyday lives. 🙏
    1 Corinthians 13:11-13 / J.B. Phillips New Testament
    11 When I was a little child I talked and felt and thought like a little child. Now that I am a man my childish speech and feeling and thought have no further significance for me.
    12 At present we are men looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror. The time will come when we shall see reality whole and face to face! At present all I know is a little fraction of the truth, but the time will come when I shall know it as fully as God now knows me!
    13 In this life we have three great lasting qualities-faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.

    Sir Ken Robinson is one of my favourite TEDx speakers. Love the way he sneaks in his witty quips now and then, to break the monotony of the seriousness of his talk, which is usually on deeply introspective topics. Sad to hear that he passed away a few days ago. RIP Sir Ken 🎉

  • @gowtham884
    @gowtham884 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The talk is encouraging and motivating to seize the opportunities we have by being open. It will be a great pleasure to do things that excite us, excel in it, and not to be afraid of restarting any moment in life by seeing life in a non-linear way. As the world changes, we need to live differently from our last generation. But one thing that raises a question that is, Albert einstein, Micheal Jordon, Walt Disney are just a very few examples. I read when we compare our life to people who have achieved after big risks and failure, we tend to look at only the successful people, not the unsuccessful ones. In fact, so many of the risk-takers have been actually unsuccessful. This is a fallacy of people I read from the book thinking clearly.
