Never give up.

I have a poster on the wall behind my monitors of the 5th Solvay Congress in Brussels. It has many of the greats including Planck, Curie, Lorentz, Einstein, Schrodinger, just to name a few. There are times when, for example, I've been working on a problem or trying to understand a concept and want to walk away; I will look up at the poster and think about how those people spent their entire lives on problems, they were the type that didn't give up.

Things don't happen all at once, sometimes you have to be more patient than you'd like. But I believe it's those people that never give up that make the most impact.

Be realistic with yourself but aim high; work hard and smart and you have a better chance than many to get what you want.
