The CEO of Apple and Pixar discusses his beginnings, his education, his business struggles and what he discovered for himself. His advice?

Let's Raise Kids To Be Entrepreneurs - with Cameron Herold: Canadian Entrepreneur
Should we seek treatment for our kids when their educators label them as attention deficit? Or should we perhaps consider that they may just be walking to the beat of a different drummer, that they may have a brilliant, prescription-free future before them?
Changing Education Paradigms - with Sir Ken Robinson and RSA Animation
With the same message as Cameron Herold's, Let's Raise Kids To Be Entrepreneurs, Robinson brings into question the validity of the blanket diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, calling it an epedemic of mis-diagnosis. A thought-provoking talk entertainingly animated. The message is one that Serene Promotions (TM) promotes whole-heartedly!
