We can all be 2+ things at once: A lovely reminder from Young-ha kim

In my opinion, this is, perhaps the most overlooked TED talk on writing out there.  Most people skip it because it is subtitled, but the teacher in me loves this for many reasons, particularly the message that you can be more than one thing at once: a taxi driver AND a writer, a businessman AND a writer, an scientist AND a writer.  I think many people forget this.  They think that this writing thing is all or nothing, and my STEM-school students often say they don't have time for creative writing.  That they are working towards being an engineer or a doctor or some other thing that will, undoubtedly, make more money. Young-ha Kim offers a beautiful reminder that we can be many things at once.  As he points out, the artist is there inside us, right from the start.  Give a kid a chance and he'll make art happily, without much prompting.  At some point, we become disconnected from that childhood self, but the artist is still in there, inside us, yearning to get out.

I lost my job and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I was skeptical at first but I took the risk to take a loan of $500, and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I received a profit of $5,500 with an investment of $500 within 7 days of trading , the most joy is that I can now take care of my family, i am just sharing my testimony on here. I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran, God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services. He can also help you recover your lost funds, For a perfect investment and good return on investment contact him on Gmail : [email protected] his telegram : IEBINARYFX or his whatsApp + 1 ( 424 ) 285 – 0682
