In school, we're rewarded for having the answer, not for asking a good question.

When I have the choice to do something I don't want to do, I most often – most always – do it anyway.

I am terribly fascinated with things that I don’t understand.

If you serve that God, all the others will be taken care of. My quote is: 'The only way to communicate is to understand what it is like not to understand.' It is at that moment that you can make something understandable.

What situations can I create that allow me not to have the disease of familiarity?

My definition of learning is to remember what you are interested in. If you don't remember something, you haven't learned it, and you are never going to remember something unless you are interested in it. These words dance together. 'Interest' is another holy word and drives 'memory'. Combine them and you have learning.

Accept ignorance; pay more attention to the question than the answer; never be afraid to go in the opposite direction.
