15. "The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it."
- Henry Ford
16. "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
- Mark Twain
17. "If you're not stubborn, you'll give up on experiments too soon. And if you're not flexible, you'll pound your head against the wall and you won't see a different solution to a problem you're trying to solve." - Jeff Bezos
18. "You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them."
