I agree with most of the article. I really believe that the education system is fundamentally broken. I also believe that the whole "Lean Startup" movement, with its emphasis on "failing quickly then iterating", is the best way of doing a lot of things, and should absolutely be taught.

I also love the word "inquisitiveness". It defines exactly the quality which I value in other people. It's not (just) intelligence - it's constantly seeking to learn, to improve. This word is going on my list of words to describe qualities I like in people (much like pg's "Relentlessly Resourceful" is a way to describe desired qualities in entrepreneurs.)

The only problem I have with the article is the title - Bill Gates certainly has all the traits and qualities talked about in the article.
