I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.

I was lucky enough to be fairly quick at understanding what was taught, but unlucky enough not to be really interested in it, so I always got my exams but never had the scholar's love of learning for its own sake.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.

The willingness to keep learning is, I think, the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.

I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.

I still have a lot to learn, and I still have a lot to prove.
