Students don't need a perfect teacher. Students need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure. The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.

You won't learn anything if you think you know everything already.

Basically, the dumber you are, the smarter you think you are and vice versa.

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.

Genius doesn’t come from knowing all the answers—it comes from embracing uncertainty and following where it leads.

If you have a theory, you must try to explain what’s good and what’s bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty.

Great teaching is like jazz—it’s spontaneous, responsive, and deeply connected to the moment.

Education is not about filling your mind with facts; it’s about sparking curiosity and fostering the ability to think critically.

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Students should be made to think, to doubt, to communicate, to question, to learn from their mistakes, and most importantly have fun in their learning.

If your theory doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. It doesn't matter how beautiful it is.

Learning is the art of turning information into insight.

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Educate yourself about things. Study hard what interests you the most. Don't worry about what others think of you, that's none of your business. Train your mind to think, doubt, and question. That's how you grow.
