The drive to become a better person includes a desire to leave the world...

...to the headmaster of a very good private school about how impossible I was finding French. I was trying so hard to learn the language and felt I was getting nowhere. He said, "There are no hopeless students, only bad teachers." The idea was that no one was "reaching" me. We, as individuals, are unique. We see the world through different eyes. I think the teacher must find the key to reaching each person. Remember...

...Through the course of my studies I've not only learned to appreciate literature from different times and places, but also to respect and understand the views and philosophies of critics and peers. This has effected my personal and professional relationships in a way that nothing else could have.

...sensitivity to the joy that comes with learning. That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art -...

...and sharpen their study skills. At Columbia, I spent several semesters as a note-taker for the Office of Disability Services; i.e., in several separate classes, my notes were selected as exemplary and distributed each week to students whose learning disabilities impaired their ability to take their own notes. I also spent two years working in a lawyer's office, where I became even more rigorously organized, systematic, and detail-oriented than I had been in school. To...

...moved to New York with my fiancée.
