A state with 100% literacy levels with a focus on STEM will eventually win
Investment in education is the only guaranteed investment on earth
Education must also be continuous
You can't give your kids laptops and free education in one decade and then divert cash from education to build airports in another decade and hope to see sustained progress

"Our greatest technology was love."
The most incredible advancements mean nothing if others are left behind.
The best technology lives within us. The most amazing gadget is our heart.
That is what will carry us forward

My algorithm for teachers on the 1st week of summer:
1) Place school bag somewhere far away
2) Make a summer bucket list
3) Lay on the couch and don't do any of the bucket list
4) Sleep or binge watch TV
5) Attempt the pool, but if too tired go back to step 3
