Today’s quotes
‘Professors don’t read books, they write them!’
This was a favorite phrase of one of my university professors. It has its own deep meaning but also always made me want to write a book. 🙂
Recently I’ve run into another somewhat similar quote, ‘Harvard undergraduates believe that inventing a job is better than finding a job.’ This one actually came from the movie Social Network.
I think both phrases kind of hint that it is important to step out of the box and look at something from a different angle. Why does not one create something new instead of saying something is not good or suitable for him/her?
On a side note another saying I like to refer is ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’, actually to its implication. It’s easy to grow when everything else is growing but it is even more important to understand how to survive a low-tide.
