I cannot avoid but thinking he was already aware of his state of health when he registered this video. How generous and inspiring to do something for other people even if you're sad for yourself and your family. He will be missed by everyone. Thank you, great spirit.
Yet to me he certainly did not appear to be a man with only 3.5 months left to live. It's tragic. He was a true hero of mine, and countless others of course. May he rest in power and joy.
I'm so sad to hear that one of my favorite people has passed, inspirational and teaching us all how to get more from ourselves and to teach others To find their true Selves and with a great sense of humor to boot and a fellow scoucer .
He was someone who truly inspired me to change my life's direction. I am about to record the first episode of my podcast "Be Better Educated with Usman Ghani" and I have decided to dedicate it Sir Ken Robinson. The first episode is all about creativity and education. I will try my best to live in his footsteps and carry his message.
You will love my first episode of "Be Better Educated" podcast "does education kills creativity?" which is a tribute to his legacy. theughani.com/ep1-video
Sir Ken Robinson was truly a visionary and an activist. You will love my first episode of "Be Better Educated" podcast "does education kills creativity?" which is a tribute to his legacy. I am continuing his work at @TheBewso theughani.com/ep1-video He will be missed a lot
There are political folk who hold these views, but the media silences, discredits and rubbishes them to such an extent that they rarely get heard, because there's no money in it and the media are the same people that run big corporations. Therefore, any politicians that you do hear are greedy, self serving puppets. If not, they don't last long.
That's so damn true. I respected him as an intellectual. Sir Ken Robinson was truly a visionary and an activist. You will love my first episode of "Be Better Educated" podcast "does education kills creativity?" which is a tribute to his legacy. I am continuing his work at @TheBewso theughani.com/ep1-video
We can certainly add much more to that list. Sir Ken Robinson was truly a visionary and an activist. You will love my first episode of "Be Better Educated" podcast "does education kills creativity?" which is a tribute to his legacy. I am continuing his work at @TheBewso theughani.com/ep1-video
I came across Sir Ken Robinson,s TED talk while pursuing my Masters program in Newcastle. I was so motivated by his talk and his vision that it changed my direction of work from corporate to Education. His conversation made me realize the difference between education and learning and the creative capacity of Humanity and children. Sir Ken Robinson was a great man and his vision and his thoughts would have inspired many over the world. I keep seeing his videos over and over as a constant reminder of the mission he has left us ( Educators and parents alike) and the responsibility we have towards the generations ahead. Rest in Peace Sir Ken Robinson. You will be greatly missed but your thoughts and vision lives on within all those whose hearts and minds you have touched.
@@RizkySyaiful I did my major in Design Management. I must admit that though it was a field of interest to me, I was always drawn to the field of education. And to be honest I feel that it doesn't matter what education background one comes from. As long as you have knowledge to share, there will always be those who will be willing to learn. :).. and my guess is that you wife is passionate about teaching... I'm sure she will be a wonderful teacher :)
@@MissHelen-z9o no dear friend.. I dont know...but I would surely like to talk to some one who had the privilege to be his student. If you do know of someone, do let me know as well.
We've lost a wonderful intellectual academic with a scouser's wit and the gift of comedic timing. Sincere sympathies to his family: R.I.P. Sir Ken, missing you already!
I am so moved and sad by his passing. He has been a lighthouse, has influenced many people towards the validation of all kinds of intelligence, an appreciation of the whole array of human talent and potential. My deepest gratitude for your contributions to Humanity! May your soul rest in peace!
I'm so sad that we've lost him. What a wonderful, intelligent, insightful human. He speaks into my very soul. We must bring his vision into being. Let's GO!! 🌿 SOCIAL CHANGE FROM THE GROUND UP. LITERALLY.
“Organic education” has been practiced in Finland with great success for many years. All schools in Finland are state schools, which offer exemplary teaching practice. There are no private schools, so rich and less well off children play alongside each other. Finnish schools focus on the wellbeing of the student. The school days are shorter (family time is very important) plus they spend much of the school day outside exploring the world around them rather than being stuck in a classroom. There’s no standardised testing or homework.... And yet Finnish educational ‘output’ is ranked in the top 5 whereas the U.K. is at 26!! The u.k government MUST be aware of this, and if they are the question is why have they not adopted the Finnish system? 🤔 A paradigm shift in Education is very much needed in the U.K. 🙏🏻
Yes of course they know this. It is deliberate. They want inequality. They want division, they never change anything for the better-it's always worse. They will never better educate because it is not in their interest for people-ESPECIALLY poor people, to be smarter. They might start demanding equality, jailing of corrupt officials and politicians, ending gross entitlements resulting from a surname etc etc....basically demanding fairness..and they can't have that.
I am truly heart broken. Sir Ken Robinson was a gift to humanity. We all must do everything he dreamed of. We must make sure that we keep,his dreams alive and we continue to challenge the education system to make the right choices for our kids. We need more arts, culture and diversity! I am forever grateful for Ken Robinson. Blessings to his loved ones
Absolutely love love LOVE your work and genius!! I have been 'unschooling' my children for over five years, they are five and seven. We live in Queensland, Australia and have been doing so many amazing things, predominantly in nature, as my older boy wants to be a vet. We have bred animals, grown amazing things in the garden from seeds, we have delved into maths by undertaking various projects around the house, shops, cooking... the opportunities are endless!!!! I have a BA Honours from University of London and an MBA and I can honestly say that I have never learned so much as I do with them. They go off on a tangent (they are only five and seven) and learn so much about a particular project in such record speed, it is absolutely incredible!!!! Thank you for everything you do. Loved the speech!
I was first introduced to Sir Kenneth Robinson almost 20 years ago when I saw a TED lecture by him, entitled "Does Education Kill Creativity". Being a teacher with five children of my own, l was riveted. With his insights and dry English wit, he was very enlightening and sensible. We home schooled all our children. They went on to universities, applied arts and technical colleges, each following their own path to become very unique adults, enjoying success in their own style. Thank you Sir Kenneth.
Wow! Revolutionaries do not need to man the barricades and throw molotov cocktails. Sir Ken leading a revolution and we are grateful for that. Thank you. It is a Friday night in lock-down, and as the fire burns in the grate and dinner bubbles on the stove, I watched this video and am indeed inspired. Once again, thank you.
Sir Ken Robinson shows us the kind of life that one should live! I've always enjoyed his TEDx talks. They are funny and inspiring. He was very intellectual and articulate with his words. Sad he passed so soon, even though at 70 years old. He passed away in August 2020, 3 months after this video was posted. It's amazing to see that he still had the force within him to deliver this world-wide talk.
This is a wonderful distillation of your ideas found in your title Creative Schools, a book I recommend everyone interested to read. As a homeschooling parent, I wholly agree it’s not only the time to hit the pause button, but also the reset button. The silver lining of the pandemic is for parents and educators -and especially out learners to seize upon new ways and sources for learning.
I miss him already.. You are the light we need in this world. Your words will always be the gentle force of energy to stimulate us at any point in time of Crisis. Thank you for spreading joy, sparkle and love when all was dark. Thank you for being our lit candle in the dark!
He is so brave, so aware, so inspiring....and delightfully funny. I will miss him. This talk covers all our problems, and possible solutions in only a few minutes. Who can do that!!? Heaven is blessed!
Thank you so much for every word you spoke, every sentence you wrote. It was the honour of my lifetime to meet you, and you will continue to inspire me as long as I live... Love. Light. Peace. Creativity.
I have been thinking of you, sir Ken Robinson, since the beginning of this, and the inception of the disruption of our unfunctional education system. Thank you for your words!
RIP Sir Ken Robinson and thank you. The world needs more people like you, who can see the world with fresh eyes and have the courage to challenge the status quo. Your legacy will always be with us. My deepest sympathy to your family and loved ones.
Sir Ken Robinson. Amazingly inspirational as always, You were born to inspire and amaze people and such an absolutely brilliant example of the perfect form of a person who is just brilliant! What a world we would all have if everyone was one percent of your inspiration. You will not be missed.... you will be a huge deficit to the future of our humanity.... then be missed terribly, Ken you were an amazing human being and a loss to Humanity.
Thank you Ken! You where one of the first voices that made me choose to change my path from a passive passenger consumer 10 years ago to become the active crewmember of Spaceship Earth I am today. 🚀🌍❤️
This is probably one of the most important messages to humanity right now. Reset after pause. I will be sharing it with my kids' teachers. Thank you ever so much for the work you do and inspiration you provide to millions around the globe!
It's a historic moment, and an extraordinary opportunity. I hope that people will start to listen and act on your ideas. I've been a fan since I first saw "Do schools kill creativity", affecting me deeply to profoundly change my work and lifestyle. I'm looking forward to translate this into Bulgaria, like I did with your TED talks. Stay safe and healthy, Sir Ken :)
Thank you, Sir! I hope one day I'll have an opportunity to say this in person. You are inspiring millions of people all around the globe. Your vision is very natural, very clear, and very important. The way you talk about education gives our brains a lot of answers and helps to understand fundamental things about our lives. And not just that, you have inspired others to become "those who move" and started an important kind of work. So please keep going, and THANK YOU very much!
This strikes me as Ken's closing remarks, expounding on all the topics he championed all his life. I had the honor, decades ago, of picking Ken up at the airport when he arrived in America, to escort him to an arts education conference. So enthralled by his presence, I chattered away, failing to notice that the AC was blasting the passenger side of the car. Ken had icicles dripping from his nose but never said a word! My favorite line in his arts educations talks was that it seemed people believed their bodies were simply created to carry their heads around. A great privilege to play that tiny part in his life.
A voice that, now eclipsed...which I did not know...that still clearly speaks for what's essential about us...creative intelligence imaginatively presented... thank you Ken.
"People flourish when the culture is right." Sir Ken Robinson was able to imagine and articulate that which I've only been able to wish. His influence on education (and climate change) is remarkable. May his memory be honored.
I showed on of Ken's talks to one of my students yesterday, only to find out after class that he had passed away in August. Such a huge loss to not just education but to the world generally. A wonderful communicator who had a talent for transmitting complex ideas in an accessible and entertaining manner. God speed.
The world faces such a profound loss of his physical presence...but I I hope we carry him in our hearts and lives through his work and teachings and we keep.forwarding his impact to help unlearn and relearn
We have lost an incredibly important human being - the only TED talk to reduce me to tears of laughter and sadness in 15 mins. It’s up to us to keep speaking his truth about creativity and championing the diversity of ALL kids talents. Thank you Sir Ken RIP.
Bless you. You gave us so very much. Can't believe that you have now left this world. No more talks, no more books. You will be greatly missed, Sir Ken. 💔
DEEP THANKS, DEEP GRATITUDE TO YOU, SIR KEN ROBINSON. LEARNING, FOR REAL, HAS AN OPEN HEART AND INSPIRES ONE TO CULTIVATE WHAT IS INSIDE. WE ALL HAVE OUR TALENTS, OUR INNER TALENTS. BRAVI TO ALL, WHO GO INSIDE AND THEN HAVE SOMETHING REAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY. NAMASTE BOWS TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK. YOUR LIFE'S EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THIS EXPRESSION OF IT. IT IS ALL ABOUT SHARING OUR UNIQUE TALENTS: ALL AGES, ALL CULTURES.
Thank you. I am (we all are) grateful you gave your life-breath to speaking to us, so many times, about what matters most in life. In memory of you, may we all dedicate all we are to living with meaning and deep regard for life on Earth, indeed the whole universe.
So very sad to hear about Ken's passing, he is irreplaceable and his loved ones must have an aching gap to heal. I like to hope his wisdom sits on many shoulders, now, what a beautiful world we can create and what a shining legacy.
Hello from Shanghai! Thank you so much for sharing! I studied international relations as a graduate student before, and am now on my way to be a K-12 teacher. I am always thinking of the best way to bring peace and prosperity to our human community, and that's actually the motivation behind my previous choice of studying international relations. Now I have found a more essential way to contribute, which is to flourish the next generation day by day. I truly agree with your ideas, so count me in the movement!
How right you are, so sad that the ppl that can actually be a big movement for fixing these issues you speak of most will sit back and do nothing. You are wise!!!
I'm deeply saddened we have lost such a brilliant visionary ... I'm grateful for his last message which he left for humanity to follow ... my thoughts go out to his family who must be crushed at the loss of his beautiful spirit...
Best to you and your family, your words are shared now with my son and his family; they are the future. I am inspired by your insights and willingness to voice the greatest truth, we are the future. Thank you, bless you and yours, may well being and contentment be yours. peace
Ken has inspired, motivated and stimulated toward change in Education; May his soul guides us further in this great Work to be done on earth. May we connect with his work in all the teachers of the Children. Thank you Ken for your great contribution !
What a wonderful message from such a great soul at such a critical time. What a closure to such a wonderful life. Blessings and Godspeed on your next journey, Sir Ken Robinson. ¡Aho! ftom the Andes.
I’ve frequently thought about Ken Robinson during lockdown and wondered what his views were. I was delighted to see him back in my feed 15 mins ago. But then I saw the black & white photo at the top of his TH-cam channel. I had not heard the news of his death and feel as devastated as I’d have been had I known him personally, which I didn’t. I’m so bereft that I’ll never again hear his wonderful ruminations on life and education. He really is my hero. I hope his family can read how much of mark he has made on me in the way I bring up my children.
I’d like to think he would have been pleased that I have been on a form of digital detox so that I just learned of this news quite accidentally via TH-cam. Lame stream media had nothing online in the passing of this brilliant educator in a great line of the same sane ones. And it was just within the last 5 years I came across his Ted Talks. He knows he has served humanity well and we are now paying it forward.
Hear, hear. Thank you Sir Ken Robinson. A man of our time and ahead of his time. Solid and honest and concerned and devoted to making people understand education and what matters in making the World as a whole and every individual's world a better place. Condolences to you family. Rest in peace
Great responsible humanist, unusual personality... Although I knew him only from TED and youtube, I miss him so much already. Following his legacy, being a concerned polish citizen I wish the approach to education in Poland change and will be heading in the direction Sir Robinson advocated for.
Always thoughtful and eloquent, and to me an inspiring educator; one of a kind. Sir Ken Robinson, you are sorely missed. I will always remember your sharing your insights with us...
Dear Ken, thank you very much for this and I have joined Go Boundless. It is my greatest wish for you to look at Waldorf Steiner Education since we need somebody like you to be a voice. Sincerely hope you will read this!
A wonderful educator. The message is strong and has huge social and environmental value that needs to be heard until we get it right. Bless you Sir Ken and your family. A sad loss to humankind.
Thank you ken, for your wisdom and compassionate regard for all . You have been a great dynamic , Witty , insightful, most creative teacher helping us all to see that flowers could grow in trump’s Death Valley. SUCH citizens as you have awakened so many others and despite what appears barren in these hard times , will become the new consciousness . Thanks for helping so many redefine what really is education . We will pray for you. You have planted many seeds in the gardens of our minds. We are UNITED all these years with you. It Was really a surprise to find you today. God bless what you have done for education , and for all of us, and for the whole world. One man can cause such chaos, but another exponentially inspires us to feel proud to be part of this blooming , called the HUMANKIND ! Gracias 🙏
At a loss for words, learning of his passing. He helped me understand so much about my young life; I only wish I could have known him as a teen. RIP brilliant, sensitive, funny man!
What a beautiful, humble and wise man. Thank you for sharing your insights. Thank you for introducing us to your thoughts. I will miss you dearly. I will find some solace in revisiting and rewatching your speeches and books. I will keep hopeful in knowing to be a part of a movement of people that are transforming living and working conditions - including the ways we thrive and learn. I bow my head to you and hope you are in peace now.
I cannot avoid but thinking he was already aware of his state of health when he registered this video. How generous and inspiring to do something for other people even if you're sad for yourself and your family. He will be missed by everyone. Thank you, great spirit.

RIP, Sir Ken Robinson. You've done a tremendous job making the world's education better.
Yes agree
Your Spikes Hearts that are now listening......
Still so sad about SKR but I listen to this message and feel better
I've literally come across this man this evening - such a thoughtful and pleasant man
Oh...just posted...and I did not know he died... what can we do to continue the vision and uphold his creative critique?
The world has lost a great mind and an incredible human. I am so sad to hear of your passing. You have left a wonderful legacy.

Such a sad day for me. You will be greatly missed my Hero and Mentor. You rest now without any pain.
I love your comments as well as your intelligence for seeing things differently like Sir Ken Robinson......

A paradigm shift in Education is very much needed in the U.K. 🙏🏻
A) Tiny population
B) Very little immigration
Yes of course they know this. It is deliberate. They want inequality. They want division, they never change anything for the better-it's always worse.
They will never better educate because it is not in their interest for people-ESPECIALLY poor people, to be smarter. They might start demanding equality, jailing of corrupt officials and politicians, ending gross entitlements resulting from a surname etc etc....basically demanding fairness..and they can't have that.
There is a new curriculum coming out in four years time in Wales... which will include more active learning. Thankfully.
I am truly heart broken. Sir Ken Robinson was a gift to humanity. We all must do everything he dreamed of. We must make sure that we keep,his dreams alive and we continue to challenge the education system to make the right choices for our kids. We need more arts, culture and diversity!

"People flourish when the culture is right." Sir Ken Robinson was able to imagine and articulate that which I've only been able to wish. His influence on education (and climate change) is remarkable. May his memory be honored.
Thank you, Sir Ken. Your words are meaningful and relevant to our plight. Rest in peace.
I showed on of Ken's talks to one of my students yesterday, only to find out after class that he had passed away in August. Such a huge loss to not just education but to the world generally. A wonderful communicator who had a talent for transmitting complex ideas in an accessible and entertaining manner. God speed.
The world faces such a profound loss of his physical presence...but I I hope we carry him in our hearts and lives through his work and teachings and we keep.forwarding his impact to help unlearn and relearn
We have lost an incredibly important human being - the only TED talk to reduce me to tears of laughter and sadness in 15 mins. It’s up to us to keep speaking his truth about creativity and championing the diversity of ALL kids talents. Thank you Sir Ken RIP.
This man changed my life with his books. Sad to hear he passed away
Bless you. You gave us so very much. Can't believe that you have now left this world. No more talks, no more books. You will be greatly missed, Sir Ken. 💔
Even in his last stage, he kept his humor and humanity intact. A truly remarkable person and a sage. Your teachings will be your legacy. RIP.
A beautiful soul, and someone who made you want to listen and learn. RIP Sir Ken Robinson.
Thanks for all you gave. I love you.
RIP. Condolences to your friends and family. X
DEEP THANKS, DEEP GRATITUDE TO YOU, SIR KEN ROBINSON. LEARNING, FOR REAL, HAS AN OPEN HEART AND INSPIRES ONE TO CULTIVATE WHAT IS INSIDE. WE ALL HAVE OUR TALENTS, OUR INNER TALENTS. BRAVI TO ALL, WHO GO INSIDE AND THEN HAVE SOMETHING REAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY. NAMASTE BOWS TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK. YOUR LIFE'S EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THIS EXPRESSION OF IT. IT IS ALL ABOUT SHARING OUR UNIQUE TALENTS: ALL AGES, ALL CULTURES.
Thank you. I am (we all are) grateful you gave your life-breath to speaking to us, so many times, about what matters most in life. In memory of you, may we all dedicate all we are to living with meaning and deep regard for life on Earth, indeed the whole universe.
So very sad to hear about Ken's passing, he is irreplaceable and his loved ones must have an aching gap to heal. I like to hope his wisdom sits on many shoulders, now, what a beautiful world we can create and what a shining legacy.
Simply superb. May you rest in eternal power Sir Ken Robinson...
Hello from Shanghai! Thank you so much for sharing! I studied international relations as a graduate student before, and am now on my way to be a K-12 teacher. I am always thinking of the best way to bring peace and prosperity to our human community, and that's actually the motivation behind my previous choice of studying international relations. Now I have found a more essential way to contribute, which is to flourish the next generation day by day. I truly agree with your ideas, so count me in the movement!
How right you are, so sad that the ppl that can actually be a big movement for fixing these issues you speak of most will sit back and do nothing. You are wise!!!
sorry for your passing Sir. Thank you for being a light in your time on this planet.
I was so so sad to hear this news - Ken is a hero to me....always has been
I'm deeply saddened we have lost such a brilliant visionary ... I'm grateful for his last message which he left for humanity to follow ... my thoughts go out to his family who must be crushed at the loss of his beautiful spirit...
Best to you and your family, your words are shared now with my son and his family; they are the future. I am inspired by your insights and willingness to voice the greatest truth, we are the future. Thank you, bless you and yours, may well being and contentment be yours. peace
Great contrast between planet, education and our responsibility for the future
My heart sinks in grief. What a beautiful last word. I hope we can get our act together and transform our education system!
He was and still is inspirational- May God keep you in the warmth and safety of His Love Sir Ken.
Ken has inspired, motivated and stimulated toward change in Education; May his soul guides us further in this great Work to be done on earth. May we connect with his work in all the teachers of the Children.
Thank you Ken for your great contribution !
What a wonderful message from such a great soul at such a critical time. What a closure to such a wonderful life. Blessings and Godspeed on your next journey, Sir Ken Robinson. ¡Aho! ftom the Andes.
I’ve frequently thought about Ken Robinson during lockdown and wondered what his views were. I was delighted to see him back in my feed 15 mins ago. But then I saw the black & white photo at the top of his TH-cam channel. I had not heard the news of his death and feel as devastated as I’d have been had I known him personally, which I didn’t. I’m so bereft that I’ll never again hear his wonderful ruminations on life and education. He really is my hero. I hope his family can read how much of mark he has made on me in the way I bring up my children.
I'm in tears. Deepest respect and gratitude to this great human being.
Your thoughts are a fountain of inspiration!
Thank you so much!
So saddened to read of his death- a light has gone out in our world - Rest In Peace. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Sir! I highly appreciate it.
What a truly inspirational man, who provided immense positivity to all those who truly listened. R. I. P. Huge love and respect.
Yes he will be greatly missed. My best to his family. We will all carry his lessons with us into the future, with hope and commitment. Be well.
Everyone should see this!!
I’d like to think he would have been pleased that I have been on a form of digital detox so that I just learned of this news quite accidentally via TH-cam. Lame stream media had nothing online in the passing of this brilliant educator in a great line of the same sane ones. And it was just within the last 5 years I came across his Ted Talks. He knows he has served humanity well and we are now paying it forward.
Rest In Peace, Sir Ken Robinson🙏 Thank you for the wisdom and joy you bequeathed to us all.
Hear, hear. Thank you Sir Ken Robinson. A man of our time and ahead of his time. Solid and honest and concerned and devoted to making people understand education and what matters in making the World as a whole and every individual's world a better place. Condolences to you family.
Rest in peace
Great responsible humanist, unusual personality...
Although I knew him only from TED and youtube, I miss him so much already. Following his legacy, being a concerned polish citizen I wish the approach to education in Poland change and will be heading in the direction Sir Robinson advocated for.
Thank you Sir for being born in our lifetime. RIP 🙏
As usual he nails it once again. Very sad to see him gone but he left a lot of his knowledge in many talks for us too prosper on.
Always thoughtful and eloquent, and to me an inspiring educator; one of a kind. Sir Ken Robinson, you are sorely missed. I will always remember your sharing your insights with us...
Jacob Bronowski, Jonathon Miller, Ken Robinson.....thanks for helping feed my Awe.
Dear Ken, thank you very much for this and I have joined Go Boundless. It is my greatest wish for you to look at Waldorf Steiner Education since we need somebody like you to be a voice. Sincerely hope you will read this!
A wonderful educator. The message is strong and has huge social and environmental value that needs to be heard until we get it right. Bless you Sir Ken and your family. A sad loss to humankind.
Rest in Power, Sir Ken. And thank you.
Sir Ken Robinson, I am grateful to you for your great inspiration and wisdom.

That’s my man of vision. Thanks 🙏 Sir Ken Robinson.
Great man with a great mind and vision!
Thank you ken, for your wisdom and compassionate regard for all . You have been a great dynamic , Witty , insightful, most creative teacher helping us all to see that flowers could grow in trump’s Death Valley. SUCH citizens as you have awakened so many others and despite what appears barren in these hard times , will become the new consciousness .
Thanks for helping so many redefine what really is education . We will pray for you. You have planted many seeds in the gardens of our minds.
We are UNITED all these years with you.
It Was really a surprise to find you today. God bless what you have done for education , and for all of us, and for the whole world.
One man can cause such chaos, but another exponentially inspires us to feel proud to be part of this blooming , called the HUMANKIND ! Gracias 🙏
At a loss for words, learning of his passing. He helped me understand so much about my young life; I only wish I could have known him as a teen. RIP brilliant, sensitive, funny man!
What a beautiful, humble and wise man. Thank you for sharing your insights. Thank you for introducing us to your thoughts. I will miss you dearly. I will find some solace in revisiting and rewatching your speeches and books. I will keep hopeful in knowing to be a part of a movement of people that are transforming living and working conditions - including the ways we thrive and learn. I bow my head to you and hope you are in peace now.
I am sooo saddened by his passing. Thank for all your inspiration Ken Robinson.
