* Time is money. * Don't lie to the person in the mirror. Accept your shortcomings as they are. * Having few good work partners is better than a dozen work friends. * Trust is non-negotiable & irreparable. * Always have a plan B if you want to complete something. * Always remember Plan B shouldn't become your Plan A by default - stay ambitious. * No question is a bad question - (sometimes questioning the status quo makes a big dent) Also, something I always cherish from my advisor (translated from his native Japanese): "You relish your sucess when your mind is paired with immense hardwork, dogged determination, indomitable grit and the acceptance of possible failure at each step of the way. Achievements are divine but it makes us better humans to understand the journey, not the destination"
