Kirsi Ekberg: Redefining the Meaning of Learning

“You can be creative in anything – in math, science, engineering, and philosophy – as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.” – Sir Kenneth Robinson, author, speaker and educationalist.Creativity is an essential part in all areas of human life. Science, Arts, Math, Technology, Cuisine, Education, Family life, Politics, Business…. You name it. In many fields, that role is undervalued yet very, very important; a balanced combination of creativity and academics or entrepreneurial tasks enables us to be innovative and encourages to learn and do new things. Many companies are providing web-based services, applications, solutions and games to boost the learner’s or customers interest. Only imagination is the limit of how we can harness the possibilities of technology by remaining true to our nature. Technology is a good servant yet a bad master.

However, some people are born to turn expectations into opportunities and the pressure into unparalleled fervor. Such leaders navigate the sea of expectations successfully to sail the boat of life towards the boundless horizon of a perfect future. At the end of a long and hard working day, these people are cherished and valued no matter what. These leaders are treasured regardless of whether anyone on their team realizes what lies ahead in the big blue ocean – because they know they can always count on someone to lead.
