American RESEARCH and RESOURCES have LITERALLY changed the face of humanity, by TACKLING deadly and once-deadly diseases.

Parents MATTER, buildings COUNT, CURRICULUM choices, materials, RESOURCES - all these things are important in a top-class education. But, in the end, it comes down to the TEACHERS.

Look at climate change; don't put your HEAD in the sand. Understand that it is going to have PROFOUND EFFECTS on our resources and so much else.

The DIFFERENCE between great actors and the rest of us isn't simply that they know how to make more out of less, but that, like lions at the WATERING hole, they will always take more than their share from the pool of AVAILABLE resources - EXTRA air from the room, added knowledge from our faces.

You have to MAKE the most RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS you can with the RESOURCES you have.
