  • As you know, my equation is CQ + PQ > IQ. Curiosity Quotient plus Passion Quotient is more important than Intelligence Quotient.

    
    
    

    Pink: Amen. You show me a curious, intrinsically motivated kid — and I’ll show you someone who’ll leave the kid who merely complies with the rules and studies for the SAT in the dust.

  • But I’m a really lateral thinker and I really get energized by people who think
    laterally because I think that’s where the breakthroughs are

    • What does it tell you when two of our greatest innovators are both college
      dropouts? Something’s not quite right about the system.
    • You can’t be a really good connector if you don’t know algorithms and calculus.
      But you can’t be a connector if you only know algorithms and calculus.

      person, but if you can’t express yourself in words on paper, you’ll have a real
      liability in competing.

  • I didn’t even get 600 on my math SATs. But I’m a really lateral thinker and I
    really get energized by people who think laterally because I think that’s where

    • Exactly. Maybe the most important piece of advice is: Know what you believe and
      stick with it. Don’t let people knock you off your game, because it’s so easy to
