Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.

Work hard and figure out how to be useful and don't try to imitate anybody else's success. Figure out how to do it for yourself with yourself.

'May the Force be with you' is charming but it's not important. What's important is that you become the Force - for yourself and perhaps for other people.

I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
