Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes.

My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.

Hydrogen holds great promise to meet many of our future energy needs and it addresses national security and our environmental concerns. Hydrogen is the simplest most abundant element in the universe.

The government is not your salvation. The government is not your road to prosperity. Hard work education will take you far beyond what any government program can ever promise.
