Zitat des Tages von Ann Makosinski:
I'm probably not as good in the topics that I'm less passionate about than the ones I spend all my time on.
I was listed in 'Time Magazine''s 'Thirty under Thirty' and have given three TED Talks, too.
It is important for me to remember that time learning anything substantial, even if it's not my favourite topic, is time well used.
I love to know why things work.
I think parents are probably really excited for their kids and want to give them everything. But there should be a limit on how much you give your kids. Because kids are quite creative, especially at a young age when they don't really know what rules are.
My first toy was a box of transistors.
Phone screens are too small to properly appreciate YouTube videos.
I think it is important to have a balance of science and arts to be able to be accessible in either fields.
Maybe thermoelectricity will be able to power a tablet someday.
I just think we need to find a way, because we don't dispose of them very well; they have very bad chemicals in them. If we could just find a way, maybe start at a small step with eliminating batteries perhaps in small electronic devices, and then possibly in the future go bigger, that would be great.
I have lots of different interests. Any of my friends will know I'm interested both in science and in art.
What I kind of want to spread as my message to all kinds of youth that I get to reach out to is, you can do cool stuff; you've just got to put in time and be dedicated.
I was always taking garbage from around the house and making my own toys. I wasn't given a Wii or an Xbox or anything.
I know a lot of people around the world have these problems where there's just no light, no electricity, nothing.
Not being given everything encourages you to create... That was one of the first steps for me learning to invent things.
