“Curiosity serves the mind more than any other virtue. Throughout my life I have had the great fortune of an education, parents, teachers, and classmates who nurtured this value in me. When challenged by my circumstances, I know to step back and view my situation in the spirit of inquiry rather than panic. For everyone who taught me this, I am eternally grateful.”
