jobs real paper
If you depend on a single industry, if you don't continuously upgrade it, if that industry is not producing real wealth, if it's simply shuffling paper from here to here in a very efficient manner sometimes, that's not enough and that's not where you begin to get the rest of your jobs.
curiosity desire awake
The thing that keeps me most awake is the desire and curiosity to learn more.
opportunity curious ifs
There is so much extraordinary opportunity if you're curious, if you're interested.
mean reality hands
It's not fear that keeps me up. I mean, every generation has thought, this is the worst generation; the world's going to hell in a hand basket. The reality is, people are living longer, and they're living better.
mean missing historical
It's such an extraordinary time to be alive that you just don't want to miss it. I mean, it's a really neat historical period.
excess world asia
We traditionally in this world didn't have enough calories to feed all of us and had huge famines, not just in Africa, but had them across India, across Southeast Asia, and across China. Because of Borlaug's work at Simit and because of this we have huge excess, until very recently, in agricultural produce and the prices went through the floor.
talking southern-italy scotland
During a period of time when Italy is talking about splitting northern and southern Italy, France is talking about splitting with Corsica and Normandy, England is talking about splitting with Wales and Scotland and England. And it goes on and on and on.
lasts borders panama
The Americas has been a relatively stable continent. The last truly new border we have is Panama in 1903.
years flags sitting
Three-quarters of the flags, borders and anthems sitting at the U.N. today were not there 60 some-odd years ago.
real people way
Real estate prices are way out of whack with what people earn.
mean serious
We have to get serious about living within our means.
jobs venture reason-why
Venture capital is about .02% of the U.S. economy invested, and it accounts for 11% of total U.S. jobs and 21% of U.S. economic output. And the reason why is because these companies can get very big, very quickly.
real math white
Within the United States, there is a real division between the PhDs given in science and math to the Asian community, to the traditional white community, and then to African-Americans and Hispanics.
jobs technology people
Until African-Americans and Hispanics can get serious, not just about area studies, which are important, but also about science and technology, they're not going to generate that wealth and that job within those communities. And that has absolutely devastating consequences for the places where people live, for the jobs and for the wealth.
