If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.

If our education system does not continue to improve and be enhanced and be innovative and almost be revolutionary, then we will continue to lose our place in the world.

We must educate and train our children to compete and succeed in the 21st century. Our kids are not going to grow up to compete with children in Alabama or Mississippi. They're going to grow up to compete with kids in India, and China, all over the world; children who are learning to compete and succeed in the 21st century themselves.
Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur. Doing things differently and solving problems with new, innovative and fresh approaches are the very reason many start-ups are able to compete and sometimes outpace the established market leaders.
What keeps athletes going is the optimism we are going to be able to compete again.
I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.
Illinois and Chicago have shown they can compete on the world stage, and we will continue to answer the challenge.
If you want to continue to be the best in the world, then you have to train and compete like you are second best in the world.
It don't cost nothing to go out there and compete. You're either going to do it or you're not. And I'm going to compete every down, so it don't matter.
The future of Norway isn't about competing on being the cheapest but the most innovative. We have an expensive welfare state and the only answer to continue that way is to become more competitive, especially on knowledge.

I love to compete. I competed in 40-50 matches internationally all across the world. I'm young, I'm healthy, and I love to compete. If I don't compete, I'll get bored.
