L to life is not linear and talent, either: you have to reinvent themselves every day! I was born in a working class: a mentor could see something in me . To find your talent should make a journey into himself and another to the outside. not let him steal ideas: Give them, man!.
interview on "The Against "" La Vanguardia " 23.12.2010
Most people do not enjoy your job ...
Most people do not enjoy your job ...
... If he is lucky to have one.
Or comply with any misfortune. Fortunately, I also know people who enjoy what they do.
How did they do?
all have in common that they found his element: the place of talking to him which match your skills with your hobbies, what you do with what you like.
talentudos Not everyone is born ...
is that we all have talent if we find out. Some are lucky and find the children with ease and support from their environment and others should strive to find it: sometimes against his family and friends.
And there are professions that is routine.
No routine tasks, there is only routine ways of doing a task. Think of cooking, for example, boredom may be a required or a sublime creation .
If we all had different talents, intelligence could not be measured.
is that you can not measure: the tests were an invention supremacist. In fact, talent is as personal as your fingerprint and there are many ways to be smart as people. This is not how smart you are, but how you are smart.
the end, the talent does not pay the bills.
If you dislike something, you end up doing so badly in the end you can neither pay the bills. And that happens in the global economy: the tasks you do routinely just going to the country make for less. Only he who keeps the value innovation.
So you see bad education?
to I said that education has been reformed, but has not been transformed. And do not ask that is required less in school, but to school: we must concentrate on identifying and enhancing the unique talents of each. Our school still produces uniform, passivity and conformity.
is that each student there ...
But all have potential, because being creative is not a gift that have chosen few, is what makes us human. If you are a person, you are creative. And you learn to be more creative as you learn to read. It is an innate power that we all develop.
How is creativity?
How many ways are there?
Hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste ...
And the sense of balance, the kinesthetic or proprioceptive (perception of self and their relationship with the space) ... And it is also the termoceptivo ... But do you know why you thought only the five senses?
¿...?
For convenience, it is the enemy of creativity. When something seems obvious to us, we make no effort to understand. So you have me repeat the five senses and thus has lost the ability to rethink and find others.
What if I discover my supposed talent?
For starters, do not put limits, and less over time. Creativity, like life, is not linear. You can be a boy or a nonagenarian creatively creatively old girl. And every day the brain is different.
Yes, but how do I find out?
I am researching now. This is to make two trips: one to the inside of yourself and other outward to project your talent. And they are not always consecutive trips, can be simultaneous.
Give me more clues.
Know. And if you want to meet someone, what does? Spend time alone with him, spend more time getting to know.
And when I know?
Eventually you will enjoy your own company. Then find and may take advantage of his own tribe creative.
my tribe Who is creative?
The people you can be yourself: literary generations, research teams, rock bands or colleagues who invent things, are those who accept and recognize each talent and make it grow together.
Can it be just a friend?
was my case: a teacher saw talent in a kid poliomelítico neighborhood and went for it. Your mentor and your tribe are those who can see it in your seed decisions of your successes.
How do I exercise?
Creativity is intelligence applied to specific task and shared with complicity: lone genius is an oxymoron.
And the effort, sweat, tears ...?
effort, of course, the same as a child to win a race at school, suffers, but also sports. The fun includes sweat, but no risk, innovation and experience if you do not enjoy doing it.
Well give me some tricks ...
invent new games with the usual toys, play doctors with Indian feathers, restate the obvious until it ceases to be ... Do not accept anything in advance or assume anything. And share it all.
What if I steal ideas colleagues?
Give your ideas and see how by magic there are other better utilizing the space left by which he gave.
What if they laugh at my ideas?
Laugh with them! Create is not something that happens to you, but what you do when something happens.
How do I know I have?
Because being creative does not remove power: the da. The hours seem like minutes, the ideas flow and you with them. You're out of the world and at the same time within it.
I'm not working!
Paro, no! Job, either! Work is a hateful word and its origin (tripalium: the sticks where slaves were tied to flog). Marx showed that stupid and inhuman slavery did not fail, but ineffective. Another Marx, Groucho, revealed to the slaves of the mental routine. And Sir Ken Robinson today helps us discover our talents and perform at liberty "to work, but also with pleasure how far be innovative ... And prosperous. I hope this second installment of the interview * Sir Ken requested "by a handful of fellow readers" will also serve as Christmas cards here who does not work but enjoying every day interviewing for you.
