patience Waiting for results: whether patience compounds into the thing that wins, or impatience is how work gets done fast.

education How children are taught and tested: schools, tutoring, what a lesson at the right level does, and what AI changes.

What Harriet Martineau actually said

  1. Harriet Martineau English social theorist and writer (1802 to 1876)
    The charge of their own maintenance is thrown upon large numbers of women, without the requisite variety of employments having been opened to them, or the needful education imparted. A natural consequence of this is, that women are educated to consider marriage the one object in life, and therefore to be extremely impatient to secure it.
