Man I love TED. I wish I was constantly bombarded with the inspirational morsels of life-encouragement that each of these talks carry. Every time I watch one, it makes me want to stay up all night and throw myself at some sort of worthy self-improvement project like updating my “why I’m late tracker” or learning ruby or filling out my calendar with tech networking events.

Here’s one of my favorite talks by Ken Robinson. I can fully relate to Robinson’s declarations about creativity and the eduction system. I was one of those kids who couldn’t ever sit still in class. I’ve found that at work, I need to plod and pace around conference rooms in which I’ve holed myself up in to actually focus. I need to change locations every 30 minutes, or change positions and kick my feet up on a file cabinet or window sill. I like being stimulated ways that make me consider how I fit into the jigsaw puzzle of humanity.
