What did you learn from Sir Ken Robinson? The YouTube video that I watched was called Sir Ken Robinson: Bringing on the learning Revolution! Here is the video on YouTubeYouTube Video. In this video I learned several things, one of the things is talent is important to each and every person. All people have talent some enjoy their talent others not so much. But sadly, some people think that they don't have any talents. Personally, I have a talent of being around young children and I enjoy it quite well which is why I would like to become a teacher.

There is a quote that Sir Ken Robinson said in the video that Abraham Lincoln said on December of 1862: " I ought to explain that I have no idea what was happening at that time we don't teach American History in Britain we Suppress it." The 21st Century Education system is being taken for granted, the main thing that most people now are focused on is getting into college and they have a long ways to go before college. If a child wanted to get into a certain kindergarten class you would have to have an interview in order to even think about getting in. In my personal experience only the private schools require interviews with the parents as well as the up coming student. Another thing that I learned in this video talent equals passion; if you have a talent that you are interested in you have to have passion towards that talent or any talent for that matter. Another thing the video mentioned is time for talent if you don't enjoy the talent time will go so slow, if on the other hand enjoy the talent time will fly by. Another quote that Abraham Lincoln said "The dog-mere of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present the occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion; as our case is new so we must think a new and act a new we must dis-enthrall ourselves and then we should save our country."

I think the quote means don't focus on the past, focus on the present and that the journey to the present is going to be difficult at times but that is life and you must deal with one day at a time not all at once also we should be open-mind about certain things. Here is a video that I found on YouTube by Sir Ken Robinson about the passion of talents
