The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.

It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed. It is the things we do not.

Earnestness is highly underestimated. It comes from the core, while hip is trying to impress you on the surface.

Show gratitude. Gratitude is a simple but powerful thing.

I was hugely impressed... was the ultimate example of a man who knew what he didn't know, was perfectly willing to admit it, and didn't want to leave until he understood. That's heroic to me. I wish every grad student had that attitude.

I don't suffer from an abundance of politeness.

It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to lead your life, ... If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.
