These are some of the ideas I got from Ken Robinson’s talk, posted by Candice:

• ·         Enjoy life
• ·         Let your job somehow define you.
• ·         Create circumstances for the development of natural (human) resources
• ·         Innovations is hard
• ·         Challenge things that we take for granted

o   Question: What do we take for granted?

• ·         We must rise to the occasion.
• ·         Fast model of education needs to be challenged.
• ·         We all have different talents.

o   What is your talent? How can you use it to the fullest?

• ·         Everything is about passion.

Thanks, Candice it surely was food for thought!

W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)"He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"
from the Collected Works of W.B. Yeats

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
