I believe that any type of education can be great, but an education about ourselves can create something wonderful. I am a comedian, but people have called me a motivational speaker. I don't really consider myself that at all.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream - to have class.
Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way.
I used to be really insecure about my self-education. I'm definitely always learning. But there's many ways to learn. There are many, many ways to always be a learner.
If you are ambitious to talk well, you must be as much as possible in the society of well-bred, cultured people. If you seclude yourself, though you are a college graduate, you will be a poor converser.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.
To be a teacher you have to have a very giving, selfless personality. I don't think I'm that selfless and giving.
When I think of myself, I'm definitely... I'm not like a comedian.
I'm hugely intrinsically motivated and have always believed that I'm fueled and motivated by learning.
I'm a motivational speaker.
I talk often about being intrinsically motivated by learning. It's the primary driver of most of my activity.
