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.

Time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think.

Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it

It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.

Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.

Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.

I feel like I'm waiting on something that isn't going to happen Don't complain; just work harder.
