Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds | Video on TE

Ya she's brilliant ! I think the majority of brilliant minds fall in her category . The reason they are brilliant in one area ( or more ) is because they are deficient in other areas . This makes them appear unemployable . A big big mistake ! The system filters out the best minds and replaces them with personable drones that follow like sheep . Or lead like a mindless drill Sargents !
Schools also fall into this misconception . Like she says they drop the hands on visual task oriented classes first . Completely opposite to what they should be doing . The hands on visual task oriented classes should be the norm not the exception . All the studies agree visual hands on learning is the way to go ! There is billions of dollars waiting for someone to realize this in the school system MIT is a good example . by mirlen101 Feb 18

Laurence Kim Peek (November 11, 1951 – December 19, 2009) was an American savant . Known as a "megasavant", [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] he had an exceptional memory , but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the character of Raymond Babbitt, played by Dustin Hoffman in the movie Rain Man . Unlike Babbitt, who had savant syndrome , Peek probably also had FG syndrome .

home » leadership/management » maslow's hierarchy of needs Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs motivational model Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50s USA, and the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human motivation, management training, and personal development. Indeed, Maslow's ideas surrounding the Hierarchy of Needs concerning the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfil their own unique potential (self-actualization) are today more relevant than ever.

Pablo Picasso Text from Thomas Hoving, "Art For Dummies®" "Yet Cubism and Modern art weren't either scientific or intellectual; they were visual and came from the eye and mind of one of the greatest geniuses in art history. Pablo Picasso, born in Spain, was a child prodigy who was recognized as such by his art-teacher father, who ably led him along. The small Museo de Picasso in Barcelona is devoted primarily to his early works , which include strikingly realistic renderings of casts of ancient sculpture. "He was a rebel from the start and, as a teenager, began to frequent the Barcelona cafes where intellectuals gathered.

Buddha Quotes

First published Fri Sep 16, 2005; substantive revision Sat Nov 7, 2009 The philosopher Socrates remains, as he was in his lifetime (469–399 B.C.E.), [ 1 ] an enigma, an inscrutable individual who, despite having written nothing, is considered one of the handful of philosophers who forever changed how philosophy itself was to be conceived. All our information about him is second-hand and most of it vigorously disputed, but his trial and death at the hands of the Athenian democracy is nevertheless the founding myth of the academic discipline of philosophy, and his influence has been felt far beyond philosophy itself, and in every age.

Born at Stagira in northern Greece, Aristotle was the most notable product of the educational program devised by Plato ; he spent twenty years of his life studying at the Academy. When Plato died, Aristotle returned to his native Macedonia, where he is supposed to have participated in the education of Philip's son, Alexander (the Great). He came back to Athens with Alexander's approval in 335 and established his own school at the Lyceum, spending most of the rest of his life engaged there in research, teaching, and writing. His students acquired the name "peripatetics" from the master's habit of strolling about as he taught. Although the surviving works of Aristotle probably represent only a fragment of the whole, they include his investigations of an amazing range of subjects, from logic , philosophy , and ethics to physics, biology, psychology, politics , and rhetoric.
