Something to keep in mind
Follow Your CuriosityI have no special talent. I am only passionately
curious.
Perseverance is Priceless
“It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems
longer.”
Make Mistakes
Discover the power of making mistakes. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, if you
want to succeed, triple the amount of mistakes that you make.
Knowledge Comes From Experience
“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is
experience.”
You can discuss a task, but discussion will only give you a philosophical understanding of
it; you must experience the task first hand to “know it.”
