No one wanted to hire me. No newspaper, television station, television network that I worked for ever wanted to hire me.

If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find.

President Trump watches a lot of television. I mean, really a lot. His favourite channel is Fox. Now just imagine somebody wants put a message in front of the president.

I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

Maryanne Wolf

When I started out the videos, I was dealing with depression, and I wanted to make inspiring videos for others, which would end up inspiring me in turn. I wanted to show the world that it was possible to make a positive switch in life and start over.

I chose surgery because I thought that perhaps this would make me more like the kind of person I wanted to be.

If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. If you wanted to create a business environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a cubicle. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over.
