The only way we'll cope with the future is by realizing that we are a part of shaping

it.

And that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Crox and of Sean Crox and dot com.

Thanks for tuning into our Thursday episode.

Today I'm calling it our thoughtful Thursday episode because our featured speaker Sir Ken Robinson

is a real deep thinker.

He has some brilliant ideas and he's the author of many books and a couple of days ago, I want

to say Tuesday we heard from Earl Nightingale and he talked about the imagination.

He talked about creativity.

But the thing is is that unfortunately those are a couple of things that have almost been,

I don't know, educated out of us.

You know, just remember being a kid, you know, you have this crazy imagination.

You would dream of all these wild things and you might be in class and you're,

you're looking out the window and you're thinking of something really cool that you want to create.

And what happens?

You know, somebody says a teacher says, pay attention.

What are you doing?

Stop that day dreaming.

And over time we just get taught not to imagine.

We come up with a really awesome idea and we tell our friends and our family about it and they make fun of us.
