Is your school or workplace divided into “creatives” versus practical people? Yet surely, David Kelley suggests, creativity is not the domain of only a chosen few. Telling stories from his legendary design career and his own life, he offers ways to build the confidence to create… (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.)

I love this……. Right? Yes I do…
Yes, I agree with you Sir. Thoughts are creative. Words are creative. Actions are cre- ative. These are the three creative forces of the universe. Master these and the world belongs to you.
allright !?
Owlypia?
Why don't you touch my snake hahahaha all jokes aside awesome talk
my wife's boyfriend told me to watch this
That's what I am saying all the time.
He does teach us how to build creative confidence through the snake story.
This is beautiful.
"whip out their blackberrys " ha
He would make a pretty good Joker tho.
Creative confidence is really the need of the our. I see its importance in Indian corporate life where people are discouraged to voice their opinions & try new simple stuff over fear of challenging status quo..
Fantastic!
Couldn’t finish the video because of his little mouth saliva sound. I’m sure he did a good job though.
That's just a beautiful mission
tdyko
i want to go to that doctor ,i want to cure my fear of lizard
teacher forced us to watch this -_-
Oh, sir! You made my day, bless you..
Yay ! David Kelly starts off a TED talk with a mind map !
HOW is the most abused word in Tedtalk 'no.
I just wanted to touch the snake.
One of the best ted-talks ever…
Amazing content! Stay up with the videos, looking towards observing even more of those
The only Answer to doubters should be
" Everyone is trying to make something better or best… Let me make something bad. Infact let me make something so bad that no one can build it worst."
Creativity is squashed because the capitalistic society is all about production. They teach kids in school to be productive instead of quality. Tests etc. Tests are analytical not about creativity. When they are criticized for not being good enough etc. They emotionally shut down and turn into analytical mode and are all about how fast and how much can they get out to be accepted in society. That's part of the problem about creativity being shut down in our youth. Those of us who don't care about opinions of others will still carry on about creativity. It's a choice the mind makes.
I think many people have brilliant ideas, but they are scared to share it, because they feel there are many experts out there. Inferiority also can stop you from being able to make your point. It is all about how to become more confident, vocal and presentation.
He talks about 'creatives and non-creatives' personally I hate the (silly fake) line between 'art & science' = there isn't one: they meet & overlap constantly.
Great lesson!! By the way, you look like a bit like an older Jimmy Fallon lol
Disappointed in this presentation, I would have really loved to hear his process for increasing creative confidence.
I saw firsthand how lack of confidence looks like o my mok especially whenever she mention how horrible she is at drawing, how she's not the creative person (which I still firmly believe that everybody is and can be).
Makes me realize from time to time that that probably stemmed from her getting bad comments or lack of good ones from her childhood.
Thank goodness I don't quite have one of those (at least those memories don't stand out) because now creativity is something I basically incorporate in my life.
Moral of the story: never discourage a kid to do something they seem to currently dabbling on.
This is on point. Feel very lucky to have had so much encouragement and freedom growing up to let me push my creativity enough to try building awesome stuff.
創新 創意很重要
Fantastic, Spot on.
