* Be impatient, don't tolerate mediocrity
* Be confident in your ability - you can make a difference in the world
* Have extreme passion for your work and those you are working with
* Never compromise your integrity
* Risk is the only reward - without risk, there is no benefit
* Expect isolation, separation, and intolerance
* Take the time to know and connect with worlds that are vastly different from yours - your greatest discoveries reside there
* Dare to be different.
