school opportunity thinking

school exercise keys
Musicals are hard for me because I got thrown out of the glee club in high school, because I couldn't sing in tune at the time.

school thinking lasts
When I studied how to think in school, I was taught that the first rule of logic was that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect.

I was looking at the history of the sport and I couldn't understand why there have been so many good South American drivers, especially Brazilians.
sports winning thinking
When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can't see that from the outside. In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that's motor racing. So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport is the long term. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
