When students are ready to learn, teachers will appear. Some students want to put in the effort to learn while others just want to complain without doing anything. It's best to focus on the students who are willing to work hard, as they are the ones worth teaching. Forcing students to learn doesn't work; good students want challenging lessons, which helps identify who is seriously engaging with the material.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. (Rousseau, que tungou do Lao Tzu)

Only about 10% of students really want to do what it takes. The other 90% want to moan and do nothing. So just concentrate on the 10%, they are the ones who are worth it. Forget about the 90%, they just want to drag everyone down to their level. That way everyone fails. Dont spoon feed students. The good ones like it tough. It weeds out the moaners.

Basically he takes the purely rationalist view. The smart bet is to believe in God. His reasoning is as follows.
If you are an atheist, you obviously dont believe in God. This can have two possible outcomes.
One: you are right, God doesnt exist, and we all spend in鍖nity in oblivion. Two: you are wrong, God does exist, and (as a non- believer) you spend in鍖nity in hell.
But suppose you are a believer. This also has two possible outcomes.
One: you are wrong, God doesnt exist, and we all spend in鍖nity in oblivion. Two: you are right, God does exist, and (as a believer) you spend in鍖nity in Heaven.
So Pascals conclusion was that, if God doesnt exist it doesnt make any di鍖erence anyway. Everyone spends in鍖nity in oblivion. But, in case God does exist, the smart bet is to believe.
The atheist can only lose, either way. But the believer at least has a 50% chance of winning. So by believing, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
If you choose to depend on talent over energy, there are two possible outcomes. One: if you are right and you actually are talented, your complacency and laziness could prevent you being successful. Two: if youre wrong and youre not actually talented, you dont even have hard work to fall back on. You are guaranteed to fail. But, if you choose to depend on energy rather than talent, there are two very di鍖erent outcomes. One: if you are right and you arent actually talented, hard work will certainly make you more successful than you would have been otherwise. Two: if you are wrong and you are talented, but act as if you arent, hard work will make you doubly successful. So the smart bet is to believe that you arent talented, and to act as if you have to rely on hard work. You win at least one way, and possibly two.
