Approach to Learning
• "I learned that the only way you are going to get
anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether
you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a
businessman, there is no getting around it. If you
do, you'll win; if you don't, you won't."
- Bruce Jenner (Olympic Gold Medallist,
Decathlon)
