“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you will not come up with something original.”

I’ve been watching TED talks for years, yet somehow have managed to miss this one until now. Sir Ken Robinson, a British Creativity Expert, perfectly sums up my view on formal education. No words I write could possibly enhance what he has to say. If you’ve got twenty minutes, please watch.

Some of my favorite TED talks:

Shai Agassi: A bold plan for mass adoption of electric cars

Bill Gates: How I’m trying to change the world now

John Doerr: Seeking salvation and profit in greentech

Malcolm Gladwell: What we can learn from spaghetti sauce

Stephen Wolfram: Computing a theory of everything

Dan Gilbert: Why are we happy? Why aren’t we happy?
