Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure. Others will always push you to make a decision for their own purposes, internal politics, or some other external need. But you can almost always say, “I need a little more time to think about this. I’ll get back to you.” This tactic is very effective at defusing even the most difficult and uncomfortable situations.

在科学中，就像在生活中一样，重要的事情很少是简单或显而易见的。

Never let failure define you—let it teach you.

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
