By the way, it shouldn’t
be like this. It’s true that science and maths are important, but they are not
the only thing in the world. We keep thinking that arts and
humanities don’t have a future, that if you study these sort of things you won’t
have a job, and it’s totally false. What happens nowadays, I mean, the reason why
there are so many people who don’t have a job is just because everybody tends
to study those things which are said to have a good future, and if you like
them, great! But if you don’t, the truth is that you won’t have a job, just
because you won’t have that inside-force which makes you make progress and succeed.
What I am
totally convinced of, is that if you really like something, and although it isn’t
thought to have a good future, you will surely succeed. And this happens
because, if you like something, you will put it “on the top of your list” and
you will always try to do your best on it in order to improve; and probably you
will even get to be the best on it. And this is what actually matters: that you
are good at something and that you are happy doing it.
Besides this, I’d also like to focus on how Ken Robinson (the man on the conference)
communicates his idea of education and creativity, because I’d say it’s a great
example of communication skills, because he knows how say what he wants to
tell, but he also knows how to drag your attention during the whole conference,
which is very important too.
I certainly
recommend all of you to watch the conference because it will make you realize
the importance of creativity on our way to a better world.
