Quotes: “I've Started To Try To Challenge Myself, Which Is Difficult In A World Where I Want To Have The Answers, It Makes Me Feel Good, It Makes Me Feel Smart, Is To Stop And Start Asking Questions.” “A Way Into A Fixed Mindset Is That When We Get Little Bits Of Information, We Think We Know A Lot When Really We Don't Know That Much.” “Remove Those Constraints And Start Looking At How We Solve The Problem.
