Quote of the day:
. As the CEO of one of the world's most valuable companies, Chambers didn’t want to signal that he had a weakness of any kind. “I certainly didn’t view it as a strength,” he said.
“I was immediately transported back to that classroom in West Virginia,” Chambers recalls. “My heart went out to her. When she tearfully stammered that she had a learning disability, I told her that I did, too.” Chambers then told the girl that he used to have problems asking questions. He also explained how he learned to manage dyslexia.
While we discussed the topic, I told Chambers that I struggled with severe ADHD, which often overlaps with dyslexia. Although I performed well in school, it took me eight hours to study for a test that took my peers two hours. I didn’t see it as a strength until I met a Harvard doctor and bestselling author with ADHD.“Yes. The gift,” he said. “People with ADHD are the inventors and the innovators, the movers and the doers, the dreamers who built America.
—and about contemporary heroes like astronaut Scott Kelly who reveals his own struggle with ADHD in his book,“It’s through hearing stories of struggle that we become the best version of ourselves,” I told Chambers.
