- If it isn't impossible, it isn't worth trying.
- Passion and dedication are not the whole story. I recognize how incredibly lucky I've been on my journey. I actually have not had to face challenges many others have, and I credit my ability to overcome many of the ones I have faced more to luck than any other factor. But also, if my goal had been to be a world-class sumo wrestler or all-star basketball player -- or both! -- it really would have been impossible for me. So, you have to pick your impossible goals wisely.
- My passion for space and science was ignited when I was 4, and by the time I was a starry-eyed 9-year-old, it was burning so bright I knew I wanted to get a PhD in physics and work at NASA, although it was a few more years before I did.
