Boy I wish we had professors/teachers like him, or more like him. 99% of education system nowadays is dry,bleak forced cramming sh1t, goes against his advice to young people, even parents advice. Everyone is obessed with going to any college, getting a job immediately, choosing paths based  on parents telling you sth or them reliving their failed lifes, peer pressure, media pressure and what one visualizes as "happY life"  like some celeb in California etc... <br>And its all wrong,  wrong and too fast. All that noise in youth's heads combined with big lack of experience prevents them from hearing their own gut or inner voice and following path that will make them wake up excited in the morning.<br>Ssuceess and fortune will come by itself if love is there.,(reply>), @ms 13 not in the slightest is that what i wrote. The opposite. Genius is the last thing you need to be to be happy and successsful. <br>Everyone thinks or most are brought up by parents saying to kids they can be everything instead of helping them find their nieshe. Everyone seeing college as the optimal way and striving for it given the chance. When in reality, people dedicating to their craft( not as is often the case potential financial benefits first), that they love,  be it carpenters, mechanics etc... going i.e to specialized school are always those that are the happiest and earn far above average also  quality workers. Not to mention this pos. reflects in unemployment rates where perennial issues are with needing folks in specialized professions and not everyone seeking college and either losing themselves, never finishing,getting some useless degree or x. <br>Being a genius is last thing to promote but finding your little thing you like/love and getting good at it.,(reply>), Your main assumptions are that the world is full of geniuses and that they all need some inspirational professor to unlock their potential. Neither is true.
