Damien Grant: There's more to education than mere learningREUTERS Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was remarkably successful in his career, but how much of that success can be put down to luck over skill, asks Damien Grant. Of interest to me was a series of mostly inspirational quotes from Steve Jobs that Grant has displayed in his outdoor garden. DAVID WHITE/STUFF I'm wary of looking for guidance in the wisdom of the successful, writes Damien Grant. "Education shouldn't be just rote learning, we beat the creativity out of our children" Grant explained, noting Jobs' own personal experience as relevant. This park isn't just about giant snails; it's a manifestation of Grant's wider world view; which makes it more impressive.
