“Mastering any discipline takes time and effort. If you're on the right path, much of the pleasure is in the process. You should be inspired by those who are further down the road than you are, not discouraged by how far you have to go. If you love what you do, you should enjoy the journey of improvement and not be frustrated by having to make it.”
― Ken Robinson, Finding Your Element: How to Discover Your Talents and Passions and Transform Your Life

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”
