“To quote the exceptional teacher Marva Collins, "I will is more important than IQ." It is wonderful to have a terrific mind, but it's been my experience that having outstanding intelligence is a very small part of the total package that leads to success and happiness. Discipline, hard work, perserverance, and generosity of spirit are, in the final analysis, far more important.”
“Your "I CAN" is more important than your IQ.”
“CAN is 100 times more important than IQ”
“the thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you have”
“Hard work is much more important than talent”
“It's more important to be free than to be happy.”
