I would have normally passed by The Element in a store as self-help fluff but the video below, which is a TED Talk by Ken Robinson, convinced me to download it to my Kindle last week. As you might guess by the full title - The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything - has to do with how many people don't really recognize what their true calling is. According to Robinson, our school systems encourage conformity and actually kill creativity in our youth. I see this in the corporate world, as well, and the sad thing is that most adults simply accept it and either suppress their calling to do what lies in their hearts or, sadder still, never bother to figure out what that is.
