When asked whether spending more than $600 million for higher education for United Technologies' employees was worth it, the CEO responds:
"Categorically...education is definitely the most powerful force in life. Educated people are more thoughtful. They're more widely read. They're more alert to change. They're more confident."
Educated in my mind is not just obtaining degrees or taking classes. It's about opening your mind to new perspectives and possibilities, constantly, by being lifelong learners. Being a voracious reader helps. And as my husband has told our two sons, since they were old enough to read, "Readers are leaders."
