Readers are leaders. Thinkers succeed.

What all good teachers have in common, however, is that they set high standards for their students and do not settle for anything less.

A person cannot all of a sudden become good at what they do just by switching streams.

Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.

Parents often brag about the amount of money spent per child, but I think, perhaps ironically, those great monies that are spent - I call it putting a band-aid on a hemorrhage.

The more monies we spend, the less children learn; because the more machines we have there, the more gadgets, the more gimmicks, the less children have to really think - the less they have to use their innate abilities, their curiosity, their brains.

Until kids decide, 'I am a miracle. I am unique. There is no one else exactly like me,' they can never draw the conclusion, 'Because I'm a miracle, I will never harm another person who's a miracle like me.' In this slippery world, they all need something to hang on to.
