Papers, creativity, school

So I was busy writing my paper last night when I ran into a couple of TED talks. TED is actually pretty amazing, and SUPER interesting. So much knowledge and different perceptions, it's just good stuff, alright. Well I was watching a talk from Sir Ken Robinson. The first time I'd ever encountered this name was through my friend Camilla (smart one she is). She was completely obsessed with him at the time, and I'm only now beginning to understand his genius. He talks of intelligence and that there's more than one. He gives an example of Gillian Lynne. She wasn't considered very smart in school and was really struggling in all of her classes. Her mother took her to the doctor one day explaining everything that was was wrong with her while Gillian did her best to sit on her hands and keep from fidgeting. The doctor asked to speek with her mother outside his office, and before excusing himself, he turned up the music on his radio. Gillian immediately got up and danced and the doctor turned to her mother and said There's nothing wrong with her. She's a dancer, take her to dancing school. And now she's known for her work in the production of Cats.

I just think this is so awesome! The fact that there's different intelligences, and various ways of learning...it makes me wonder what mine is. Ya know? What way do I learn and create....what do I have passion in? What's my element?
