"Solving a problem, you don't accept that it's unsolvable. And I think part of that is believing that if you work hard, surround yourself with smart people, keep thinking, keep trying that you will solve that problem. It's also relentlessness with optimism, I think, and they tend to travel together. And the other one is being unafraid to be embarrassed... And people who are risk-takers, who are entrepreneurs, who are willing to change careers, try something different, don't think of what others think of you. Think about the purpose or the outcomes you want."
- Susan Desmond-Hellmann on Stanford's eCorner Podcast: Relentless Pursuit of Innovation
