Quote by Eric Ries

Our educational system is not preparing people for the 21st Century. Failure is an essential part of entrepreneurship. If you work hard, you can get an 'A' pretty much guaranteed, but in entrepreneurship, that's not how it works.

Our educational system is not preparing people for the 21st

Summary

This quote highlights the inadequacy of our current educational system in preparing individuals for the realities of the 21st century. It contrasts the traditional educational approach, where hard work guarantees success and good grades, with the world of entrepreneurship, where failure is an inherent part of the process. In entrepreneurship, success is not guaranteed solely by hard work but requires a willingness to take risks, learn from failure, and adapt. The quote suggests that our education system needs to foster qualities such as resilience, adaptability, creativity, and a tolerance for failure in order to better equip individuals for the challenges of the modern world.

He loved her strength and practicality but resented her overbearing personality and tendency to do things on his behalf without consulting him first; loved that she tolerated his interest in all things exotic and erotic but hated her blinkered Catholicism. Charles Darwin had killed God but she and her family, like so many others, still clung to the delusion.
