Many people feel they must multi-task because everybody else is multitasking, but this is partly because they are all interrupting each other so much.

I would not encourage children or teens to multitask because we don't know where those efforts may lead.

Know what to do if you feel faint or dizzy, especially if you might fall and hit your head.

...there are days when I feel I can do anything and days when I feel I can do nothing. But fortunately for those around me, neither sort occurs very often.

Be able to go shopping for a bathing suit and not become depressed afterward.

Know how to behave at a fine restaurant, which is a telltale measure of social maturity.

I think one of the problems [with raising intelligent children] is compulsory schooling...and that children are sitting there and they are taught and told what to believe. They are passive from the very beginning, and one must be very, very aggressive intellectually to have a high IQ [...] the child is taught. Right from the beginning, it's a passive process. He or she sits there, and they simply try to believe everything they're told.
