It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose." ― Bill Gates Topic(s): Teacher Tags: lousy, success, teacher More From Bill Gates "It’s really kind of cool to have solar panels on your roof." "We’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior." "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction." More In Teacher "After this, I took private lessons in Italian from an elementary school teacher. He gave me themes to write about, and some of them turned out so well that he told me to publish them in a newspaper."― Grazia Deledda "When I started writing full time I had not long stopped being a teacher and when at last I had a full day to write, I would put music on and wonder to myself – am I allowed to do this? Then I thought: ‘I am control of this and no one is telling me what I can do.’"― Roddy Doyle "My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher’s family."― Simon van der Meer
