My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.

I think people understand that if you're going to have a successful economy, you need people's potential to be realized. That means education. It means university education, sure, but it also means training, apprenticeships and various kinds of skills diplomas that we know are necessary.

Nothing is more important for young people than enhancing their life chances, liberating their potential and encouraging their contribution to a globally competitive and modern economy.

Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.

You need in the long run for stability, for economic growth, for jobs, as well as for financial stability, global economic institutions that make sure that growth to be sustained has to be shared, and are built on the principle that the prosperity of this world is indivisible.

No economy can succeed without a high-quality workforce, particularly in an age of globalization and technical change.

A successful economic development strategy must focus on improving the skills of the area's workforce, reducing the cost of doing business and making available the resources business needs to compete and thrive in today's global economy.

Innovation is the central issue in economic prosperity.

The developing world is full of entrepreneurs and visionaries, who with access to education, equity and credit would play a key role in developing the economic situations in their countries.

But what I really believe is education is a key to pretty much everything - prosperity, economics, peace, stability.
