Default Gordon.... Here's what you have in common with a University of California, Berkeley Professor....

Gordon, I was just re-reading your post.... And you reminded me of something....

In 1994-95, for 5 months I was visiting and working with a research group at the University of California, Berkeley....

I was visiting the research group of Professor Raymond Chiao....

He has been instrumental in various types of research involving light travelling "faster than light" and regularly gets his name in the newspapers.... Like in this recent exciting article from the Seattle Times on breaking the speed of light limit....

He's one of the world's great physicists, and I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with him....

Anyway, before I left Berkeley to head back to Australia in 1995, I asked Prof. Chiao about some of his advice for an up-and-coming physicist like myself.... He thought a moment, then offered this main piece of advice....

"Don't bite off more than you can chew...."

He told me that the same advice was offered to him once, by the Nobel Prize-winner Charles Townes -- the guy who invented the laser....

And that's essentially what you say, Gordon. It is one of the keys to success, both in product development or writing an ebook, or in physics research....

If you bite off more than you can chew, then what usually happens is that you spend months.... years.... and what ends up being the result?

NOTHING!

So.... Start small, and work your way up....

It's the secret of success in MANY areas, not just in business....

Thanks Gordon for those true words of wisdom! :)

- Dien
