It is difficult to feel accomplished when you're not accomplishing something that matters to you. Doing something 'for your own good' is rarely for your own good if it causes you to be less than who you really are.

More quotes by Ken Robinson
Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value - more often than not, comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things
Ken Robinson
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.
Ken Robinson
If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.
Ken Robinson
We have sold ourselves into a fast food model of education, and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.
Ken Robinson
If all you had was academic ability, you wouldn't have been able to get out of bed this morning. In fact, there wouldn't have been a bad to get out of. No one could have made one. You could have written about possibility of one, but not have constructed it.
Ken Robinson
Research indicates that, as long as we keep using our brains in an active way, we continue to build neural pathways as we get older. This gives us not only the ongoing potential for creative thought, but also an additional incentive for continuing to stretch ourselves.
Ken Robinson
What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.
Ken Robinson
The real role of leadership in education ... is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility.
Ken Robinson
Innovation is applied creativity. By definition, innovation is always about introducing something new, or improved, or both and it is usually assumed to be a positive thing.
Ken Robinson
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.
Ken Robinson
There are three (3) principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.
Ken Robinson
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.
Ken Robinson
I mean, really, whatever you woke up worrying about this morning, get over it. How important in the greater scheme of things can it possibly be? Make your peace and move on.
Ken Robinson
Very many people go through their whole lives having no real sense of what their talents may be, or if they have any to speak of.
Ken Robinson
Very often, organizations are inflexible because there is too little communication between functions they are too segregated.
Ken Robinson
Finding your element is essential to your wellbeing and ultimate success and, by implication to the health of our organisations and the effectiveness of our educational systems
Ken Robinson
Governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working.
Ken Robinson
What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.
Ken Robinson
All of our existing ideas have creative possibilities.
Ken Robinson
Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play.
