Hi Linda,

Thank you too for sharing with us your wonderful personal story.... It contains so much true advice.... Your grandfather was a remarkable person....

I believe there is a law of the universe, that if you give and if you're generous, then the world will be generous to you in return.... But if you are greedy, if you are a "scrooge" and miserly, then the world will also be miserly to you too....

And in terms of open-mindedness. the most successful physicists I've come across have had very open minds for new ideas.... They'll consider any kind of crazy idea, at least until they are sure it's not the way to go....

The less successful physicists I've come across tend to also be less open-minded, and will dismiss new ideas just because it doesn't fit in with their preconceptions....

I think this may be a universal principle....

Thanks Linda.... :)
