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.”
