So I'm curious. What particular messages do you feel are most relevant? Which ones struck you, in particular?

His message calling people to innovate and take the road less taken. " March away from the sound of the guns. Observe from a distance, but do not join the fray. Make a fray of your own." I believe the FIRST program was a result of this kind of mentality.

Also this principle: " It is important also to acquire older mentors within these successful programs, and to make friends and colleagues of your age for mutual support."
