I just am not good at math.
Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?
You don’t have to love everything a person does to love that person.
In life you have three options with any situation that is a challenge. Remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it.
What I want people to do is what’s healthy for them.
Its a choice. You just have to decide that I’m not going to put my energy there. I’m going to decide to let this go. It’s your choice. You can embrace it, you can become a prisoner of bitterness and resentment anger and victim city, or you can just say ‘I’m going to live my life and be happy’.
Isnt it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you deserve the wrong ones? Its highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight.
In addition to an education, kids were supposed to graduate with some basic values, self-discipline, and life skills. A little common sense wouldn’t hurt either. Our schools don’t teach that anymore, instead we’re more concerned about kids having self-esteem and feeling good about themselves than we are about preparing them for real life. The politically correct crowd has taken over our schools, and as a result we are failing our children.
You cant learn in school what the world is going to do next year.
The biggest little thing for entrepreneurs is the lifelong commitment to education.
I came in early every day for six months till I intercepted the letter from UCLA saying they’d never heard of me. I replaced it with a letter that said I’d graduated.
Being a teacher is not what I do, it’s who I am.
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
The most crucial use of knowledge and education is to understand the importance of developing a good heart.
I grew up in a working-class neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago where most folks, including my parents, didn’t have college degrees. But with a lot of hard work – and a lot of financial aid – I had the chance to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School, and that gave me the confidence to pursue my ambitions.
Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one’s enemies.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.
Women who are interested in pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees – especially in STEM fields – benefit from starting at a community college. They offer an affordable education, with flexible schedules and degrees close to home.
Education – lifelong education for everyone – from toddlers to workers well advanced in their careers – is indeed an excellent investment for individuals and society as a whole.
My father must have had some elementary education for he could read and write and keep accounts inaccurately
Perhaps because my father never got a college degree himself, he continued to view people who had one with a respect that bordered on awe. In most cases they didn’t deserve it. My father could run circles around most academics and he would have done very well in college, if he’d been able to go.
A man’s college and university degrees mean nothing to me until I see what he is able to do with them.
