kids listening passionate
Where we really effect change, in terms of creating a passionate work force, is by listening to kids early.
kids school youth
Schools often box kids into predefined categories. But we don't know what amazing ideas, inventions, cures, and contributions all these youths really have.
teacher children individual
There are amazing teachers, but the system doesn't always allow them to address the individual needs of a child.
school energy environment
Our schools are filled with this potential energy, and we need to create an environment for that energy to manifest itself.
believe adversity incredibles
I do believe that out of adversity comes incredible resourcefulness.
humor race people
People ask me what the most important thing to take on the race is, and I always say it's a sense of humor. If you've got nothing but a sense of humor, you will survive.
country wish done
I really wish we could stay longer in the countries we visit, but I've been lucky to have visited most of them before, because I've done a tremendous amount of travel.
ideas people imagination
Instead of focusing on the amount of money lacking in your budget, focus on what you DO have: a willing spirit, an imagination filled with bright ideas, people who care about you and can perhaps help you in some way. These are the things that will enable you to do almost anything.
different
Anything new and different is most susceptible to market research.
hero needs stories
With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work.
notebook book humour
Inevitably you're going to be delayed somewhere. Always have a book. Always have a movie. Always have a notebook. And then always have a sense of humour.
cities bolivia extraordinary
La Paz, Bolivia, is the most extraordinary city.
diversity
We need diversity in our population to make it work.
country america levels
There's a sameness and comfort level you get living in a country like America.
