People are at their best when they are challenged. If we don't challenge ourselves, nature has a way of giving us challenges anyway. There is great value in our struggles, and human nature has shown us that we only value the things we struggle to achieve.

From Thomas Frey

Our greatest motivation in life comes from not knowing the future.

From Thomas Frey

Overhead costs are far too high, state support is dropping, and college tuition is far too expensive. Colleges are pricing themselves out of existence.

From Thomas Frey

Learning isn't meant to be confined to a box, and students virtually never 'master' a topic simply by taking a class.

From Thomas Frey

While classrooms will be in use for many years to come, their value will diminish quickly as the online options become more pervasive. Many of the physical classrooms will be converted to eLearning laboratories, some to research centers. The real classroom of the future will take place inside the mind of the student, wherever they happen to be.

From Thomas Frey

My contention is that most students get distracted by music and social media because our current state of education is not sufficiently engaging to command their full attention.

From Thomas Frey

The future is our greatest adversary. We are a very backward-looking society, and as such, we are continually blindsided by the future.

From Thomas Frey

I will venture to say that sending a probe to the center of the earth will be more difficult than putting a man on the moon or sending a spaceship to Mars.

From Thomas Frey

Solving problems is fine, but it has gotten to the point of being a global obsession. We somehow have it in our heads that if we solve all of the problems, we can sit back and enjoy the easy life. But in reality, we become lazy and complacent. And that's when we get flooded with even bigger problems.

From Thomas Frey

We will never get to the flying car era. We will get to the era where we get flying drones that haul people, though.
