Your uniqueness and oddness are your strengths; embrace them to stand out and contribute meaningfully to society.

Innovation always starts with the weird edge, not the larger audience; it's a beachhead, not a destination.

Finding valuable unknown truths is essential for innovators, as it allows them to do things that others can't, leading to unique opportunities.

To achieve greatness in science, one must see what others miss and embrace contradictions to make significant advancements.
