I thought I would reflect here on a theme most scientists enjoy recalling: the part luck played in their accomplishments.
“My father loved baseball and he cultivated my talent. I don't think he ever had any doubt in his mind that I would play professional baseball someday.”
“It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.”
