Teachers, who are really good create that environment where you can be very satisfied by the process of learning. If you do something and you find it a very satisfying experience then you want to do more of it. The great teachers somehow convey in their very attitude and their words and their actions and everything they do that this is an important thing you're learning. You end up wanting to do more of it and more of it and more of it. That's a real talent some people have to convey the importance of that and to reflect it back to the students.

Most of the learning that you had as a merchant - especially back then - came from the people around you, so it's really learning on the job and principles coming out like - back then, we didn't really sign contracts, and we had some vendor agreements to make sure we could pay people, but your handshake was your agreement.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.

Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.
