The constant attention is what is so difficult.

The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.

Attention is the fundamental instrument we use for learning, thinking, communicating, deciding, yet neither parents nor schools spend any time helping young people learn how to manage information streams and control the ways they deploy their attention.

If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.

Two people can work on a problem better than one.

People generally pay attention to what they already know about and what they care about.

When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.

When nobody is paying attention, anything is possible.

It's the people who have an incentive to find the problem who usually find the problem.
