One of my favorite teachers, Seth Godin, recently spoke at the Acumen Fund‘s Student Leadership Workshop.
In this video he inspires you to re-think what and how school taught you.
He says the 2 jobs of school are to:
1. Train you to work in a factory
2. Train you to want to buy things made in a factory
Now that the factory is dead, we need to re-train our brains. The only way to do that is to try something, fail at it, learn from it, and do it better/different, and repeat.
Watch the video below to learn from Seth about what he wants you to do.
