That's a great thought.... I think your thought is right! :)

That's true.... I'd like to write out the following story in more detail some time....

A couple years ago, I spent some time visiting a relatively young (mid-30s) yet very fast-rising physicist. When I meet successful people, I try to always ask them some advice about how to be successful too.... And so I asked him for his advice. Here's what he told me.

His answer was a "marketing" answer -- though he didn't say the word "marketing", that's essentially what his answer was. "Marketing" is also important to become a great physicist too. I'll tell the story in greater detail soon here on the forum.... :)

It shows how truly universal this topic is....

Thanks Julie.... I'm a big lover of stories too.

Some of my favorite "business" books are in fact stories and parables.... For example, "The Richest Man in Babylon" or even "Rich Dad Poor Dad."

And we know that the greatest teachers taught in parables.... I'm sure you know what I'm referring to. There's a lesson there.

Yes, that's a great idea! :)

Thanks Julie, your Passion is infectious! :)
