Advice for students:
"There is no such thing as
a 'stupid question.' Chances are, if you're thinking it, at least
two or three others around you are too. It's to youradvantage to get
the answer.
And, there is something valuable to
be gained from any experience.
Learning what you don't like to do
in life can be just as important as finding what you think you want
to do."
