More Pearls

Don't start a new life before finishing with the old one.

If you see the problem - solve it. If there are no problems - you have time for a cigarette.

In academics you are looking for the real world problems, in the real world - you are running from them.

Problems of others are much more intersing than your own.

I guess in academics the problem should be interesting, original, while in the real world most of them are boring. Abstraction comes from generalization.

In academics, if you solve the problem that has already been being solved, you would be considered stupid.
