Not long after the book came out I found myself being driven to a meeting by a professor of electrical engineering in the graduate school I of MIT. He said that after reading the book he realized that his graduate students were using on him, and had used for the ten years and more he had been teaching there, all the evasive strategies I described in the book — mumble, guess-and-look, take a wild guess and see what happens, get the teacher to answer his own questions, etc. But as I later realized, these are the games that all humans play when others are sitting in judgment on them. ↗

I love dressing up and doing the red carpet every once in a while, but I am very much a jeans kinda girl, so it's all a little embarrassing for me. ↗

The basic dream of many Colombians is to have a secure nation, without exclusions, with equity, and without hatred. ↗

My wish for the new millennium is for all children... to grow up wiser, and stronger and more prosperous for the future than ever before. ↗
