Today I finished reading this amazing book called The Element by Ken Robinson. I took notes all along, because it really stimulated ideas and thoughts that I considered important to write down. It also inspired and encouraged me to pursue a new direction careerwise, so I am enrolling in the Studio Arts program, to major in Ceramics, which is one of my great passions in the fall.
He manage to put into words and make into a book, thoughts and ideas I have had since long ago. I fully recommend this book, to anyone who wants to live a happier more passionate life in a better world.
" Life enhacing things can happen when we take the time to step out of our routines, rethink our paths and revisit the passions we left behind (or never pursued at all) for whatever reason."
"Finding your Element sometimes requires breaking away from your native culture in order to achieve your goals."
"It's not what happens to us that determines our lives - its what we make of what happens. Our attitude is what makes the difference."
"If you have a good idea, go for it, do it your way. Take good advice, make sure it's good advice, than do it your way."
Anyways, there are lots more, that I found quite interesting, I just wanted to share some today.
