Do you ever feel like something you are learning is a waste of time? Do you feel like if you were using your own creativity you could create a way to live your life the way you seem suitable? Many other people feel the same way and most of these feelings can be traced to the fact that the worlds education systems are created around making people ready for work, in other words making people into tools used to better some other persons life. For more insight on this subject watch this video of Sir Ken Robinson at Ted conference in 2006.
