Because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right?
因為這些事情都涉及個人的隱私，對嗎?
Like religion, and money and other things.

So I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do.
我對教育特別感興趣，我認為我們都是如此。
We have a huge vested interest in it, partly because it's education that's meant to take us into this future that we can't grasp.
我們對此有巨大的既得利益，部分因為教育旨在將我們帶入我們無法掌握的未來。

Nobody has a clue, despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days,

What you have there is a person of extraordinary dedication who found a talent.
現在的教育提倡的是，一個有奉獻精神的老師能發現一個天才學生。
And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
但我認為所有孩子都是偉大的天才。而我們卻無情地扼殺了他們的才能。
So I want to talk about education and I want to talk about creativity.

and we should treat it with the same status. Thank you.
所以這兩方面我們應同等對待。謝謝。
