In a self-directed learning experiment,
who decides when the project is complete?
Who decides if the experiment is successful?
All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
Maya Angelou
The aim [of education] must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem.
Albert Einstein
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison
Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.
Julie Andrews
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.
Thomas J. Watson
