On Education

Interesting ideas.
People who have an easy time of things, who get 800s on their SAT’s, I worry that those people get feedback that everything they’re doing is great. And I think as a result, we are actually setting them up for long-term failure. When that person suddenly has to face up to a difficult moment, then I think they’re screwed, to be honest. I don’t think they’ve grown the capacities to be able to handle that.”
The thing about failure - is really isn't that big a deal. You learn to shrug it off. And not let it happen again. I learned all these kind of lessons playing sports, not from school or anywhere else.
