I just am not good at math.
Take the high road, there’s a lot less traffic up there.
You must demand nothing less than the best of yourself and for yourself. You must tell yourself that it is not wrong to want it all.
Think about all of the times, situations, and circumstances where you have gotten caught up in making your self right rather than happy… The harder you fight to win, the bigger you lose.
When you have the right script for your life, you will always be the star of the show.
Be your authentic self. Your authentic self is who you are when you have no fear of judgment, or before the world starts pushing you around and telling you who you’re supposed to be. Your fictional self is who you are when you have a social mask on to please everyone else. Give yourself permission to be your authentic self.
Parents need to dial in and know what their kids are doing.
No one will ever get anywhere in this world unless he becomes a teacher, one who can show others how to do things.
In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite.
Instead of going to Paris to attend lectures, go to the public library, and you won’t come out for twenty years, if you really wish to learn.
Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.
But before any great things are accomplished, a memorable change must be made in the system of Education and knowledge must become so general as to raise the lower ranks of Society nearer to the higher. The Education of a Nation, instead of being confined to a few schools & Universities, for the instruction of the few, must become the National Care and expence, for the information of the Many.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Education is the key to opportunity in our society, and the equality of educational opportunity must be the birthright of every citizen.
In our culture and in culture sometimes they make you feel a little be weird for being smart… but we are intelligent people and our dreams matter regardless of if you speak with an accent and people think that that makes you not intelligent.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
Education helps one case cease being intimidated by strange situations.
… because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college.
You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
That experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you’re generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.
Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.
Empower yourselves with a good education, then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise.
