Michael   Lewis
“The secret to doing good research is always to be a little underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste hours”
Michael Lewis, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

“Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.”
Roger Von Oech
