You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
That attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.
