Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.11,0:00:36.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.42,0:00:38.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,--Liar (Laughter)

Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.23,0:00:49.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you weren't always top of the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.39,0:00:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.98,0:00:59.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're going to go home tonight \Nand tell your partner, your children,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.82,0:01:01.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your friends and relatives:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.64,0:01:08.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Hallelujah, thank God, I wasn't always top of my class!"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.98,0:01:16.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 2007, when I started blogging, I began studying\Nthe lives of several people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.35,0:01:18.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who were successful in their lives.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.56,0:01:28.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And each of them was successful in their field,\Neach one succeeded in a different way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.48,0:01:32.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there was one thing all these people shared,\Njust one thing
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.99,0:01:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which intrigued me, and this was the fact
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.14,0:01:47.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that these people, these characters --\Nnone of them had been really successful at school.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.11,0:01:54.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And some of them had even cut short their education
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.15,0:01:57.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and others didn't even make it to school
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.07,0:01:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for long periods of time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.68,0:02:03.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this was a little worrying and frustrating for me\Nwhen I remembered
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.43,0:02:07.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all those years in which parents and teachers
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.67,0:02:11.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,told us, you must work hard, you must get the best marks,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.31,0:02:16.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you must be one of the best \Nto get into the best higher education establishments
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.74,0:02:21.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the end, I note that the reality is this:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.56,0:02:24.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all those who have been successful at the school of life
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.66,0:02:28.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were not necessarily those who were top of the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.07,0:02:31.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this meant we needed an answer to the following question:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.63,0:02:39.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why isn't it necessary to succeed at school in order to be successful in life?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.99,0:02:47.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or even: why is there no direct link between success at school
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.10,0:02:50.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and success in life?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.02,0:02:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because, to mention people you know very well,\Nsuch as Steve Jobs
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.98,0:02:59.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or Bill Gates who have businesses - \Nthey employ people who were top of the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.06,0:03:01.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But when did they leave school?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.14,0:03:03.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They both dropped out
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.23,0:03:07.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during their fresher year at university.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.35,0:03:11.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how come, then, that we, who try to be top of the class
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.19,0:03:15.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,end up working in businesses for people who
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.35,0:03:19.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps don't even know how to read and write?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.19,0:03:22.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's when I started looking, and luckily
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.68,0:03:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I took the right approach right from the start, so I couldn't - or I didn't have to - look very hard.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.99,0:03:33.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started looking by identifying the qualities these people share
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.43,0:03:36.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which have allowed them to be successful in life.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.74,0:03:39.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I found 5 of these.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.78,0:03:44.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, I tried to see these qualities in the education system
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.43,0:03:47.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all over the world, how are these qualities developed?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.98,0:03:53.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or at least appreciated or accommodated in the education system?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.35,0:03:58.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I was shocked to find I had discovered that these qualities --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.23,0:04:02.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not only are they not developed within the education system,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.87,0:04:06.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they are even punished in the education system.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.59,0:04:12.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words, if you are unlucky enough to possess one or even several of these qualities
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.28,0:04:16.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can be absolutely sure that you will be unable to succeed in the education system.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.99,0:04:23.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you get to the workplace, you will be needing these qualities.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.06,0:04:28.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first of these qualities is about being passionate.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.73,0:04:31.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just imagine this discussion with Einstein:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.23,0:04:33.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you meet Einstein and you say to him:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.10,0:04:36.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Now, Einstein, it seems that you love physics, right?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.19,0:04:41.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he says to you: "No, I hate physics. \NYou know, I'm only doing physics
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.19,0:04:43.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because my parents made me do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.59,0:04:46.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hate it...but hey, Hamdullah, I've been lucky,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.99,0:04:51.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've discovered a few theories, got a Nobel prize, and all that...well, I've been lucky."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.90,0:04:55.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or it could be that you could talk to Bill Gates, and so you say to him:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.91,0:04:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"So, Bill Gates, it seems that you're turned on by computers?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.74,0:05:03.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he says: "Nah, it's just destiny that pushed me to get into computers.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.08,0:05:06.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well Hamdullah, it's really taken off!"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.30,0:05:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can you imagine this type of discussion?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.42,0:05:12.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's impossible because we know that these people are passionately enthusiastic.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.23,0:05:13.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what is passion?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.67,0:05:17.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Passion means having an emotional and sentimental approach
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.67,0:05:19.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a job.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.99,0:05:24.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you are unfortunate enough to have this quality as school, you are going to fall in love
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.40,0:05:28.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with certain subjects, and you will work hard on those.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.11,0:05:31.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you'll hate the other subjects, and you won't work as hard on them.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.35,0:05:37.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as soon as you get to secondary school, you'll discover what we call the subject weightings.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.02,0:05:40.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The subject weightings - the head will never come to you at the beginning of the year and say:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.46,0:05:43.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"So, what do you like? You like maths? Ah! Let's raise its weighting.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.29,0:05:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You don't like physics? We'll bring it down."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.95,0:05:48.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will never ever happen like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.66,0:05:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The weighting is already set.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.99,0:05:54.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're good at maths, physics and languages, we take the highest weighting.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.63,0:05:59.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you like geography and history, and you work hard at those but you hate maths
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.22,0:06:05.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you'll never get a good mark, or never the top mark, in the exam.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.34,0:06:08.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which means you'll be hearing this sort of thing all the time:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.39,0:06:12.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"He's a hard worker, in certain subjects, he really is very, very good.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.55,0:06:16.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in other subjects, he really could do better."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.29,0:06:21.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what they're passionate about at school: it's someone who could always do better.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.97,0:06:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's why those at the top of the class have no feelings.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.98,0:06:30.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have no passion. They work at everything!
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.06,0:06:31.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They work hard in every subject!
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.74,0:06:35.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they are good at all the subjects.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.52,0:06:37.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this creates a big problem for those at the top of the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.87,0:06:41.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because later on, they can apply to study medicine, law, and accountancy.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.58,0:06:45.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They can do it all.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.79,0:06:47.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At the outset, they are impressed by their abilities.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.99,0:06:50.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But later, when you get to work, they'll say to you:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.56,0:06:52.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"No, no, no: Stop!"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.04,0:06:55.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you want to succeed, there are two things that are very important, primordial in life.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.79,0:07:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you want to achieve happiness and excellence, you must be passionate about what you do.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.06,0:07:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But without passion, you can't succeed at work, nor even in your personal life.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.74,0:07:15.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet at school, we've always been forced to take compulsory subjects, rather than follow our passion.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.47,0:07:19.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Second quality: curiosity.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.31,0:07:24.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Curiosity is the foundation of all discovery. \NIt's curiosity that allows each of us
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.91,0:07:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to discover solutions to everyday problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.12,0:07:32.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So -- how does curiosity manifest itself at school?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.03,0:07:37.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A curious pupil or student is someone\Nwho seeks to know more.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.82,0:07:42.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Such a student is more likely to read what is suggested in class, to carry out their own research,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.95,0:07:48.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to discover new ways of solving mathematical problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.28,0:07:52.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And because this student is very proud of what they do,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.78,0:07:59.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are happy to have learned a lot, and will try\Nto develop their own ideas in the exam.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.32,0:08:05.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if the teacher doesn't understand \Nwhat you are talking about,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.96,0:08:29.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is why, in the education system, \Nbeing top doesn't mean you are smart.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.07,0:08:31.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the education system, the fact of being top
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.30,0:08:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just means you have the ability to cram information\Nand then to regurgitate it
