If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

to learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know.

In this knowledge-worker age, it's now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs - so the pressure to do well is really high.

My parents were just constantly affirming me in everything that I did. Late at night, I'd wake up and hear my mother talking over my bed, saying, 'You're going to do great on this test. You can do anything you want.'

I'm gonna keep going.
