Don’t get distracted by the shiny object [and if a crisis comes], execute on the fundamentals.

Taking smart risks can be very gratifying.

On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better.

When we think about online learning, it's such 'early days.' Bill Gates is a wildly smart insightful guy. Yet, even a guy as smart and insightful as that, 30 years ago can say things like,'Who's every going to need more than 640K of memory?'

Fibre optic is becoming like electricity. If you look at how electricity spread around the globe 100 years ago, that's what's happening now.

What's got me excited about the education space is the growth of the Internet over the next 10, 20, 30 years.

Don't be afraid to change the model.
