Well, the traveling teachers do come through every few months," said the baron. "yes, sir, i know, sir, and they're useless, sir. they teach facts, not understanding. it's like teaching people about forests by showing them a saw. i want a proper school, sir, to teach reading and writing, and most of all thinking, sir, so people can find what they're good at, because someone doing what they really like is always an asset to any country, and too often people never find out until it's too late.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"

Dantes passed through all the stages of torture natural to prisoners in suspense. he was sustained at first by that pride of conscious innocence which is the sequence to hope; then he began to doubt his own innocence, which justified in some measure the governor's belief in his mental alienation; and then, relaxing his sentiment of pride, he addressed his supplications, not to god, but to man. god is always the last resource. unfortunates, who ought to begin with god, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance.
