Science is the practice of failing repeatedly but learning as you go.

Value experiences by how much you're learning, and if you're aren't learning, move on.

Deep learning allows you to create predictive models at a level of quality and sophistication that was previously out of reach. And so deep learning also enhances the product function of data science because it can generate new product opportunities.

Cool innovation might happen in startups, but they often lack the resources or the deep expertise in the problems they want to address.

Teaching the guitar is a constant source of inspiration. I sometimes think I get more out of the lessons than my students.

When I was 17, I taught music; I had 65 students a week, and I did that for a year. So that's pretty regular. But it was great to give the gift of music to people, seeing them learn. It's great to influence young people in a creative way.

I remember my fourth grade teacher reading 'Charlotte's Web' and 'Stuart Little' to us - both, of course, by E. B. White. His stories were genuinely funny, thought provoking and full of irony and charm. He didn't condescend to his readers, which was why I liked his books, and why I wasn't a big reader of other children's' books.

Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
