More quotes by Ken Robinson
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.
Ken Robinson
Most people didn't pursue their passions simply because of the promise of a paycheck. They pursued them because they couldn't imagine doing anything else with their lives.
Ken Robinson
Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.
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
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
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
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you're not prepared to be original.
Ken Robinson
Some dreams truly are 'impossible dreams.' However, many aren't. Knowing the difference is often one of the first steps to finding your element, because if you can see the chances of making a dream come true, you can also likely see the necessary next steps you need to take toward achieving it.
Ken Robinson
If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?
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 dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. What it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.
Ken Robinson
You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.
Ken Robinson
One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations. Doing so allows a person to see the world as one rife with possibility and to take advantage of some of those possibilities if they seem worth pursuing.
Ken Robinson
If you're doing something you love, an hour feels like five minutes. If you're doing something that doesn't resonate with your spirit, five minutes feels like an hour.
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
If you're afraid to be wrong you'll never do anything creative.
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
Our task is to educate their (our students) whole being so they can face the future. We may not see the future, but they will and our job is to help them make something of it.
Ken Robinson
Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.
Ken Robinson
My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
Ken Robinson
