I would like to talk about my ideal education.

His TED talk was very exciting because I agree with his speech very much.
I think we should not kill not only children’s  but also everyone’s creativity. We have to take advantage of their talent for each child. But we have to keep our basic education as it is .  I have 2 reasons.

At first, I think creativity is very important and it has to be utilized because I believe everyone has it originally and  it is different depending on the person’s gift from my own experience.

Last year I participated in a workshop. The theme  there was a new public enterprise policy.  When we  had brain storming, my team members found different ideas. It looks only proper that everyone has his own idea but it’s very important because each person has own background. For example, their families, hometowns, schools and so on…   As Mr. Robinson says, I also think he or she has own point of view and own creativity.

Secondly, I think we have to catch up with future. In the present era, I think sense of value will change easily more than ever and there will be new sense of value. For instance, when the earthquake  happened on 11 March 2011, our sense of value about nuclear power generation was changed. Economic downturn precipitated by the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008 was also remarkable example. So I think holding and educating each person’s creativity, we have to survive in this era. Mr. Robinson says “Degrees aren’t worth anything.” I think it means the education that is predicated on the idea of academic ability is old-fashioned and same education for everyone can’t catch up with future.

Although I think the education that regards creativity as important is great thing, in order to live in human community we have to have at least minimal knowledge or intelligence. So it’ s important for us to keep our basic education.

In the future I hope our education would be better and our life would be more creative and powerful. Everyone should challenge for better creativity and better education.

You could create imagination power so that you could have better creativity and educational power. Because if you could have vivid imagination, you could act and create anything much faster than when you had only vague imagination.  Imagination power is much stronger than you just can think of.

I believe in the powers of recording. the records often makes me happy, excited, sad and so on… When I have a impressive time, I take pictures, write down memo and get the memorial things. Basically I think I forget almost things that I had and I am a forgetful person. So I always try to record.

When I was ten years old, I moved to Fukushima and changed another school because of my father’s job. I was born and raised in Tokyo so I was very anxious with new town and new school. I was cleaning up after the move then I found the album with a lot of pictures that describe my happy time. The pictures encouraged me and I could have hope for the new life.

From this experience, I became to love the recording memories and I carry tools to leave on memory. Especially smartphone is a good tool for me. I can take pictures, record voice or movies, leave memo and draw paintings with it. Moreover I have external hard disk drive and I put date on the drive when the memories are full.

Although these data are important for me, sometimes I was confused with some questions. ”Because of recording, do I become forgetful person? “or “Because of my forgetful character, do I record memories? ” and “Do I record too much?”
After experiencing this question, now I try to sort the memories carefully. furthermore I don’t have deep attachment　 to old things or rubbish very much so I waste many things in my daily life.

In addition, I also love to enjoy another person’s record. That’s why I read the magazines, blogs, private papers of the famous persons or watch movies and so on. I think artworks or novels are also records of the artist’s or novelist’s view of the world and I love them too.

I think records can last indefinitely and they have power to move people again and again. I think they are one of the firm things. I love their silence. They are just in there. But they remind us the scene or the feelings and sometimes give us discovery or impression.
That’s why I can believe the power of records.
