3. A DTTB IS A PHYSICIAN
“As any doctor can tell you, the most crucial step
toward healing is having the right diagnosis. If the
disease is precisely identified, a good resolution is
far more likely. Conversely, a bad diagnosis usually
means a bad outcome, no matter how skilled the
physician” – Andrew Well

4. A DTTB IS A TEACHER
“Education is the key to success in life,
and teachers make a lasting impact in
the lives of their students.” -Solomon
Ortiz

5. A DTTB IS A MANAGER
“A manager is not a person who
can do the work better than his
men; he is a person who can get his
men to do the work better than he
can.” - Frederick W. Smith

6. A DTTB IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER
“What makes community
organizing especially attractive
is the faith it places in the ability
of the poor to make decisions
for themselves.” -Paul Wellstone

7. A DTTB IS A POLITICIAN
• “When politics is no longer a mission but a
profession, politicians become more self-
serving than public servants.”- Emmanuel
Macron

8. A DTTB IS AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST
• “Epidemiologists study patterns in
order to combat infection. Stories
about epidemics follow patterns,
too. Stories aren't often deadly, but
they can be virulent: spreading fast,
weakening resistance, wreaking
havoc.” - Jill Lepore

9. A DTTB IS AN ETERNAL
LEARNER
• “For an artist to grow,
for a person to grow,
you have to learn. A
learner cannot afford to
have an ego. Learning
can never stop. If it
does, then it is death.” -
Ayushmann Khurrana

10. A DTTB IS A PATRIOT
“Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling
of loyalty and allegiance that is the
result of knowledge and belief. A
patriot shows their patriotism
through their actions, by their
choice.” - Jesse Ventura
