I am looking forward to learning at the knee of Paul Ryan. He doesn't strike me as a politician. He strikes me as an economist.

Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

Most organizations should be pro-active but philanthropists concerned with poverty should deliberately be reactive learning from the efforts of ordinary folks who tired of looking the other way as their communities fell apart.

I'm social and I meet people and talk to people but I'm not looking for the ideal person to fit my mold and to raise my family with yet. I'm just kind of doing my thing and learning from the people I'm around and who I cross paths with.

A love of books of holding a book turning its pages looking at its pictures and living its fascinating stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning.

That is what I'm looking forward to the most practical learning. I want to be a registered nurse so getting to talk to people who already work in those jobs can really teach me what to expect when I get out in the real world.

I'm really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road - I'm looking forward to discovering that.

What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically having come from television.
