This was a link sent by one of our students, it is an inspiring story of the importance of drawing by tv business journalist Andrew Marr. Although it is written in light of his stroke the sentiment will resonate with many of us Andrew says:
'"When you are doing something that you've got some inclination or talent towards, but which is not easy, and you're therefore completely concentrating on making something – that is, I think, when most people are happiest." For a farmer in touch with nature or a drawer sketching a tree, "there's a dignity and a purpose to life, which you don't get from working in a call centre or being on television."
