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.

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

Be able to meet any deadline, even if your work is done less well than it would be if you had all the time you would have preferred.

There's plenty of intelligence in the world, but the courage to do things differently is in short supply.

Society needs people who can manage projects in addition to handling individual tasks.

Think of a hypothesis as a card. A theory is a house made of hypotheses.
