real men law
Tell me it's never been done. Because the only real laws in this world-the only things we really know-are the two postulates of relativity, the three laws of Newton, the four laws of thermodynamics, and Maxwell's equation-no, scratch that, the only things we really know are Maxwell's equations, the three laws of Newton, the two postulates of relativity, and the periodic table. That's all we know that's true. All the rest are man's laws
problem invention solutions
What really makes it an invention is that someone decides not to change the solution to a known problem, but to change the question.
shrinking world growing
More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.
important want waste
I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time.
trying matter waste
Life is so short. Why waste a single day of it doing something that doesn't matter, that doesn't try to do something big?

thinking important important-things
I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life.
teacher hard-work government
Education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again.
sports hero kids
In the culture of America, in a free culture, you get what you celebrate. And in this culture, we have two obsessions, become a group that becomes a group that celebrates sports heroes and entertainment heroes. There's no room left for kids to see even a little bit of the opportunities to really, really get excited about becoming an inventor, an engineer, or a scientist, a problem solver.
organization innovation needs
Innovation needs to be nurtured throughout an organization. Management is doing things right, whereas leadership is doing the right things.
