This is a very poignant and excellent speech from Mike Rowe. He’s right, there is a “War on Work”, and we have created a society that shuns and mocks the very people that make the foundation of our existence. This video really gave me a good perspective that I didn’t have before.
As someone who had to learn how to work very late in life, let me say how moving Rowe can be when he applies his intellect. His show is always worth watching and his opinions are worthy of consideration.
Kiltak,
I don’t know if I’ve told you, but I really love your TED posts. Keep them coming!
I listen to most of them, pick the best ones and post them… I just wish I could attend in person… maybe one day, who knows…
Thank God you are doing this for us. I find most of the TED speeches to be self-aggrandizing by talented and accomplished asshats.
An excellent talk by Mike Rowe and an excellent post, thanks for posting the great TED talks!
Mike Rowe is an amazing gentleman…this clip is an instant classic.
