Sadly, I agree.

This was written by a friend on LinkedIn, in a message for me, wishing me luck in my job search in Vancouver! 

"Changing Education Paradigms" by Sir Ken Robinson

Sadly.. I can relate and testify to that part of the talk saying:

"It used to be:
Hard Work
       ↓
   Do Well
       ↓
   College
       ↓
     Job
... but it's not a guarantee anymore".

Sir Ken Robinson gave this talk at Royal Society of Arts (RSA), then it was animated the way seen in the video. Sir Ken Robinson is a world-renowned education and creativity expert. He is the recipient of the RSA Benjamin Frankin award. He also did TED talks that I really enjoy and think will share as well. This is his wikipedia page for more information.

Egypt.. what is going on.. what is wrong...

After the two violent incidents (first incident, second incident Bikyamasr, Aljazeera and BBC) that happened in Egypt since the beginning of this 2011 year, so in only 12 days, I have decided to put the above title as my status on Facebook and as a Google buzz on my gmail account to see what is the opinion of my friends. For the people having a Facebook account, here is the link to the status with the comments. I have got less comments on the buzz, but here is the link as well. How about you? Please comment by leaving your opinion about what is happening in Egypt. Would love to know about all the different perspectives.
