Some quotes:

• A person graduating from an educational experience must have his confidence improved.


• Human Resources is like Natural Resources... Individuals have deep talents that are buried deep within their surface, educators need to mine them like other resources.


• 3 Purposes to education: Personal (connect people to their own sense of possibility, give them sense of creativity, and give them self confidence), Cultural (enable identity, share the identity of other and tolerance) and Economic (must address economic needs and prepare for evolution, prepare ourselves to the challenges of economy.)


• TV Program to watch: How Many People Can Live on Earth: if everybody consume food and water like a person in Botswana, Earth can handle a population of 15B, if we consume like someone in North America: 1.2B only.


• HG Wells: civilization is a race between education and catastrophe.
