Where we can compete on merit, we do very well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a believer in people succeeding on merit.
Our opportunities to do good are our talents.
America is a meritocracy.
In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.
The bottom line is that any business should be a meritocracy. The best and brightest. Period.
To win competitions you need a bit of luck and some talent. I think we have some talent on our bus.
We need foreign skills to stay competitive.
The key is grow your talent, attract talent, and then you'll attract the institutions that want to be around talent - and that, to me, is what we need to do at the national level.
We've got to recruit at the same level of the people who are winning titles and playing for titles, and to do that, we've got to have great facilities.
You can't have a competitive, egalitarian meritocracy if only some of your citizens have the opportunity for a good education.
