“The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but the talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.”
“I go to work every morning with the possibility that I might learn something I don’t already know…. If you look at a problem as an opportunity to show what you already know, it’s useless. You should look at every problem and think, ‘what can I learn by doing this?’ And if you think you can learn nothing, forget about doing it.”
