Ryan, I like your comment about motivation over talent:
Talent exists, sure. Some people are naturals. But we overestimate its impact. I think much of what we see as talent is actually motivation.

Student separate into two categories… those that care and those that don’t care.
Learning’s first principle – the most important thing i learned this year
