Condoleezza Rice Quotes About Talent
-
The most important lesson I think I could impart is don't let anyone determine what your horizons are going to be. You get to determine those yourself. The only limitations are whatever particular talents you happen to have and how hard you're willing to work. And if you let others define who you ought to be, or what you ought to be because they put you in a category, they see your race, they see your gender and they put you in a category. You shouldn't let that happen.

Education is of no value and talent is worthless - unless you have an unwavering aim. Never find yourself without a compass.
