The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mom used to tell me that the most valuable thing she owned was her library card. We were poor, but that's not what she was talking about. My mom knew that education opened doors and opened minds.
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.
I loved to learn everything, everything in sight, and I was never satisfied that I knew everything there was to know in each of my courses.
Under these conditions it is not astonishing that learning was highly prized; in fact, my parents made sacrifices to be able to give their children a good education.
Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.
The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake - you can't learn anything from being perfect.
I was a child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and remember enjoying all of my courses almost equally. When it came time at the end of my high school career to choose a major in which to specialize, I was in a quandary.
The two most important things in my life were academics and sports. I had to do my schoolwork first.
The preparation I had in college was the most valuable.
