Curiosity and imagination.

They use a skeleton that we call a hydrostatic skeleton.

The sons of God who are exempt from college entrance by way of wealth!!

No, what happened to us, Chris, is that power, it's priced off the margin.

It brings to mind a headline I saw recently,

And politically, it was awful.

We're only trying to improve our lives.

And that is not a bad thing, in itself.

Instead they're more like reinforced water balloons.

It's the same with institutions.

And the fact is that our healthcare system today is characterized by unconscionable disparities disparities in health on the basis of race and ethnicity, geography, orientation and socioeconomic status.

Here's an economic principle.

And I believe if we do these things, we can close the opportunity gaps, we can close the hope gaps.

It's not geography.

And so chapter one really begins today, with all of us, because within each of us is the power to equal those opportunity gaps and to close the hope gaps.

You can also see that there is a gap of almost three and a half school years between 15 year olds in Shanghai and 15 year olds in Chile, and the gap grows to seven school years when you include the countries with really poor performance.

But there are huge differences at the same time between the better off countries and the worse off countries and there are also huge inequalities within countries.

It comes from the World Values Survey.

So what we critically need from now on is women's participation in the society.

When you look at a penis in cross section, it has a lot of the hallmarks of a hydrostatic skeleton.

And you can see here that there's an exponential Great Divergence.

Let's eliminate disparities so we all feel thankful for everyday

At that time there was a we and them.

U.K., Portugal, USA, Singapore the differences are twice as big.

Just when we know we need to be learning to live on the surface of our planet, off the power of sun, wind and waves, we are frantically digging to get at the dirtiest, highest emitting stuff imaginable.

This is my big vision.

I will make every effort to pass the entrance examination.

And as soon as you've got that idea, you should immediately wonder what happens if we widen the differences, or compress them, make the income differences bigger or smaller?

She could be attractive with a good personality, or not attractive with a good personality.

Economic historians call this The Great Divergence.

Don't go asking for a Frappuccino there.

And there, you see it in relation to the measure of inequality I've just shown you, which I shall use over and over again in the data.

Now, I'd like to give you an example of four sentences.

I'll study hard if I get into college. I'll study hard as I got into college.

Please tell me the requirements for admission to the college.

A major overhaul of Poland's education helped to dramatically reduce between variability among schools, turn around many of the lowest performing schools, and raise performance by over half a school year.
