The most important thing to learn in school is to learn to love learning.
I think that's the most important thing.
Sometimes in school we have regular tests and a very systematic approach to things,
and I think it’s very important also to learn to really...
...care about the subjects that you’re learning.
And that comes separately from just wanting to do well on a test...
...or just wanting to perform what the teacher is asking you to do.
It comes to learning to think for yourself.
If you can do that, it’s much better,
so I think that the most important thing that could possibly happen to you in school...
...is two things: learn to think for yourself...
...and find something you are interested in.
That’s my advice.
