3 December 2020 David James Elliott Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe – that all they’re interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they’re interested in learning something.
3 December 2020 Stephen Daldry I spent a little time in Germany as a schoolboy learning German, and it’s a country I knew very well, spent a lot of time in. I knew the history very well. I’ve always wanted to do a piece of work about the post-war period, of one sort or another.
3 December 2020 Beth Ditto I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You’re constantly learning how to be confident, aren’t you?
3 December 2020 Indra Nooyi Just because you are CEO, don’t think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I’ve never forgotten that.
3 December 2020 Dee Snider I only have one child. But I am learning that there is a lot to being a parent that you did not expect.
3 December 2020 Joe Nichols Learning how to relive again on life’s terms sure doesn’t do much for your confidence. You have to kind of walk in faith that the next step is going to be just a little bit better than the last step.
3 December 2020 Tom Udall As a part of preparing those lawsuits, learning about those lawsuits, I learned about the various nuclear issues in parts of the nuclear production process I guess you’d say.
3 December 2020 Lynn Davies There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.
3 December 2020 Scott Turow I count myself as one of millions of Americans whose life simply would not be the same without the libraries that supported my learning.
3 December 2020 Andre Breton Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.
3 December 2020 Ernest Istook Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes – and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together, just not in a traditional classroom.
3 December 2020 Michael Gove It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.
3 December 2020 Kwame Nkrumah The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state.
3 December 2020 Suzanne Vega In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver’s license became about much more than a divorced woman’s learning to drive for the first time.
3 December 2020 Paula Danziger I think my books talk about kids learning to like and respect themselves and each other. You can’t write a message book you just tell the best story you know how to tell.
3 December 2020 Siobhan Davies Yes – it’s the same in any other work – the more you massage your thinking the more capable I believe you are of expanding how you go about things and learning.
3 December 2020 Yakov Smirnoff We have been learning since we were children how to make money, buy things, build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think, not to feel.
3 December 2020 Ashley Scott Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme – it’s taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn’t mean or anything.
3 December 2020 Dan Farmer I was fairly solitary. I didn’t like structured learning. People didn’t seem to be my cup of tea.
3 December 2020 Richard Branson You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.
3 December 2020 Antonio Banderas I used to be scared of women. When I was very young they terrified me, but discovering the female universe was incredible and still is to this day, as you never stop learning about them.
3 December 2020 Layne Staley We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we’ve grown and are learning to accommodate each others’ differences.
3 December 2020 Doris Lessing There was a time when young people respected learning and literature and now they don’t.
3 December 2020 Tori Amos You can be self-empowered and still learning about how you think about things daily.
3 December 2020 Thomas Menino One of our key strategies has been to restructure traditional high schools into small learning communities with personalized attention and a range of options.
