Adam Grant Zitate

The more important argument against grade curves is that they create an atmosphere that's toxic by pitting students against one another. At best, it creates a hypercompetitive culture, and at worst, it sends students the message that the world is a zero-sum game: Your success means my failure.

Das wichtigere Argument gegen Gradkurven ist, dass sie eine Atmosphäre schaffen, die toxisch ist, wenn Schüler gegeneinander antreten. Im besten Fall schafft es eine hyperkompetitive Kultur, und im schlechtesten Fall sendet es den Studenten die Botschaft, dass die Welt ein Nullsummenspiel ist: Ihr Erfolg bedeutet mein Scheitern.

But more important than personal awards is winning the World Series. That's the max that anyone could ask for. Let alone to have the ball in your in your glove for the final out of the World Series. That was the ultimate.

'Elixir' means magical potion, so I wanted to depict the kind of bottle that was used in ancient times, but that looked modern and chic as well. I also wanted it to have a golden tint to evoke the memories of sands and sunsets.

It's important to not marginalize any people group in fiction. A complete, authentic-feeling world should include many different elements of life and culture. For this reason, my books will almost always contain people of faith.

Investors do not like losing money. They do not like companies that fail. They do not like entrepreneurs that fail. There is not a culture of celebrating failure in Silicon Valley or anyplace else. That is a myth. Recognize this, and if you start another business, get it to a successful point before approaching outside investors again.
