About this quote

Long-term growth is easier to sustain when curiosity, not only deadlines, pulls the learner forward.

When to use it

• Before the next class, spend twenty minutes exploring a topic beyond what will appear on the test.
• Use the same principle on one difficult subject: spend twenty minutes exploring a topic beyond what will appear on the test, then note what changed.
• Try it with a classmate or study group: spend twenty minutes exploring a topic beyond what will appear on the test, and compare the result at the end of the week.
