Description
In Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness, Susan L. Smalley and Diana Winston argue that, 'Learning to live mindfully does not mean living in a perfect world, but rather living a full and contented life in a world in a world which both joys and challenges are givens. Although mindfulness does not remove the ups and downs of life, it changes how experiences like losing a job, getting a divorce, struggling at home or at school, births, marriages, illnesses, death and dying influence you and how you influence the experience...In other words, mindfulness changes your relationship to life.'" (p. 99) Your passions are your own, but it’s often very beneficial to pursue them with other people. Finding people who share your passions can lead to new opportunities to fulfill your goals. Craig Kielburger]: "...I met with drug dealers who have greater faith in children to run drugs than I see people in the United States and Canada put in their own kids." (pp. 137-138)
Finding Your Element by Sir Ken Robinson, PhD, Lou Aronica
It’s something that you get. And we all get things very differently; don’t we? I mean, some people walk onto a sports field and they feel immediately at home, or they jump into a swimming pool and think, I know what this is. I mean we all know what it is, but it depends what condition when we jump in the swimming pool. We don’t know what it is. Full text of educator Sir Ken Robinson’s talk: “ Finding Your Element”. In this talk, Sir Ken Robinson, offers a guide to finding and being in your element. He provides basic principles and tools to help guide us to do the work we enjoy with a sense of contentment and purpose. Si quieres ser realmente creativo, añade, «no deberías centrarte solo en tu talento, y decidir que no puedes hacer nada creativo en determinado ámbito porque ves a otras personas con más talento que tú.» Necesitas tener aptitudes para lo que haces, pero la auténtica diferencia viene marcada por la pasión. Después de todo, como dice Amabile: «Hay mucha gente con un talento increíble que nunca consigue nada». Por cierto, puedes ser mejor de lo que crees en lo que realmente te gusta.” The New York Times bestselling author of The Element gives readers an inspirational and practical guide to self-improvement, happiness, creativity, and personal transformationI agree with Robinson that passion is more important than talents because passion in many cases serves as intrinsic motivation in our pursuit - gives us a sense of purpose. We will gain sustained kinds of happiness, feeling spiritually complete, when we are doing things we feel passionately about. This is also due to the meanings that we create along the experiential process. The New York Times bestselling author of The Element gives readers an inspirational and practical guide to self-improvement, happiness, creativity, and personal transformation.

If you ask people what's the best way to determine someone's intelligence, most would probably suggest giving them an IQ test or asking about their grades from school. But these standardized tests only measure only one kind of human intelligence: logical reasoning. In fact, there are many other ways to be intelligent that most schools don't value. In fact, scientists have found that vast psychological and biological differences can even occur between identical twins. Geoffrey Canada is the founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone, which has a 100% graduation rate. We have millions of young people walking away from education, he says. But “right now, we could save them all”, if we’re prepared to innovate fundamentally and not just do more of the same. He sees schools everywhere following the same dull routines as when he was at school over 50 years ago, “and no-one is going crazy enough about it to say that enough is enough … America can’t wait another fifty years to get this right.”

compared to the fixed mindset]: "The growth mindset is wholly different. It is based on the belief that you can develop your aptitudes and possibilities through your own efforts. Although people differ in their biological inheritance, those with the growth mindset believe that 'everyone can change and grow through application and experience.'" (p. 152) In the end, only you will know if you’ve arrived or if you need to push on to the next horizon. Whichever it proves to be, you should never doubt that this is a quest worth taking. My aim in Finding Your Element is to guide and support you along the way. You’ll find the details here. I read an excerpt or an interview about Finding Your Element somewhere and somehow I got hooked into the idea that this book contained some revolutionary wisdom on discovering your true calling in life. For me, this wasn't the case. The book is stuffed with a great many tired platitudes, and its "revolutionary insight" basically boils down to the obvious idea of "do what you love." I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.” One of the themes of TED Talks Education is that current policies are based on a tragic misdiagnosis of the problem. They treat education as an industrial process rather than as a human one. They are driven by a culture of testing and standardization that has narrowed the curriculum and sees students as data points and teachers as functionaries rather than as living breathing people.Despite all of their instructions, Robinson and Aronica are adamant to consider that “finding your Element” is a step-by-step program, but a personal process that has different outcomes for everybody. Nevertheless, the process is based on three elemental principles that apply to everyone. Written by one of the foremost educationalists of our time, Sir Ken Robinson, and his collaborator, Lou Aronica, “Finding Your Element” is a proper sequel to the pair’s tremendously successful debut titled “The Element.” People often ask me how they can find their Element, or help others to find theirs. They ask other questions too, for example:
