“I don't want students who could make the next major breakthrough in renewable energy sources or space travel to have been taught that anything they don't understand, and that nobody yet understands, is divinely constructed and therefore beyond their intellectual capacity. The day that happens, Americans will just sit in awe of what we don't understand, while we watch the rest of the world boldly go where no mortal has gone before.” WorldWantHas BeensHappensNextEnergySpaceWatchesGoneStudentsTaughtSourceMajorsIntellectualCapacityMortalsAweBreakthroughSpace TravelRenewable EnergyEnergy SourcesRenewable Energy Sources Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open - to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confident people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas.” PeopleIdeasSelfLinesViewsEffectsSourceFineConfidenceAmbitionIntellectualTestsSelf ConfidenceWelcomeWinnerArroganceCombatKillersNew IdeasSleevesRelishFine LinesSelf Confident Author:Jack Welch

“Develop all four intelligences. PQ (physical intelligence) which represents 70 trillion cells that fight disease and digest your breakfast.

“Nothing is more dangerous than to stop working. It is a habit that can soon be lost, one that is easily neglected and hard to resume. A measure of day-dreaming is a good thing, like a drug prudently used ... But too much submerges and drowns.
