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.

More quotes by Ken Robinson
The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.
Ken Robinson
One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.
Ken Robinson
We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.
Ken Robinson
We are all born with extraordinary powers of imagination, intelligence, feeling, intuition, spirituality, and of physical and sensory awareness. For the most part, we use only a fraction of these powers, and some not at all.
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
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.
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
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
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
Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.
Ken Robinson
My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
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
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
Imagination is the source of all human achievement.
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
Children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations. Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up.
Ken Robinson
Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play.
Ken Robinson
To be creative you actually have to do something.
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
Life is not linear, it is organic. We create our lives symbiotically as we explore our talents in relation to the circumstances they help create for us
