I have a lot of time, respect and admiration for Sal Khan. I think his work on the Khan Acadamy is important and worthwhile and I firmly believe, from seeing it with my own eyes, that it is helping change the way kids view math. Especially "hard" math.
When I saw the title of the article on CNN Money (first published in the Jan. 16 Fortune Magazine) I knew I had to read it:
Sal Khan: The Best Advice I Ever Got
Who was the advice from? Bill Gates. And what was it?
Well, I have to say that it was a little gem:
"Learn to say no. You don't have to make everyone happy".
Perfect.
