7. QOUTATION’S
When I am working on a problem I never think
about beauty but when I have finished if the
solution is not beautiful I know it is wrong
Every one is born a genius but the process of
living de-genius them.
I am not a genius I am just a tremendous
bundle of experience
The minute you choose to do what you really
want to do it’s a difference kind of life
If you want to teach people a new way of
thinking don’t bother trying to teach them
instead give them a tool the use of which will
lead to new ways of thinking
