The world is blessed with intelligent, bright people. These people have great ideas worth spreading. Lucky for us, TED is a forum for those ideas to be communicated. Often when I'm bored or need a new concept to occupy my brain, I turn to TED.

Recently I found a talk by Sir Ken Robinson about a revolution in learning. He feels that "we are educating people out of their creativity." Ken discusses how we as people and a society should nurture passion and our kids interests that make them happy, instead of manufacturing them in a standardized system. To stay true to what you wanted to be when you were a kid. So that when people grow up, more of them follow and realize their dreams.

Too often today people ask each other, "What do you do for work?" Since many people do not have jobs in which they are passionate about, that they chose, their work does not reflect who they are. What many people do for work is a way to pass time that generates money, so that they might enjoy themselves on the weekend spending their "hard earned" money.

The speaker uses a great analogy, that standardized education is to our mind as fast food is to our health. Watch this video and be enlightened, educated and well entertained. Thanks be to TED, for helping educate the world.

I hate it when I struggle to resize an embedded video like this one. I look forward to when all embedded video functionality has proper resizing. So if you enjoyed this video and would like to see another one by Sir Ken on the same subject, click here.
