I'm driven by telling stories, I love telling stories.

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.

I love the underdog stories. I love people who refuse to give up.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't go to college or you shouldn't finish your degree, but sometimes people have a very clear vision about what they want to do, and they just want to get on with it.

Schools often box kids into predefined categories. But we don't know what amazing ideas, inventions, cures, and contributions all these youths really have.

There's a sameness and comfort level you get living in a country like America.

Where we really effect change, in terms of creating a passionate work force, is by listening to kids early.
