Students question me all the time. They keep me on my toes and don’t let anything slide. I love the honesty that you get in the classroom, especially from students who aren’t worried about what the professor thinks of them.
• It’s OK to admit you don't know something—even in front of an audience of 500.
• You can never be too prepared for a class.
• Some people have passion for the big picture and the end results; but those who delight in the details and the process are equally as valuable.
• You can learn from anyone who comes into your life—if you are open to what they have to teach you.
• The real challenge of statistics is not the mathematical processes but making sure you're guided by ethics and objectivity when analyzing data.
• You have no control over anyone else’s actions—only your reactions to them.
• No matter how old you are, you should seek your parents’ advice.
• No matter how young they are, you should always seek your children’s advice.
• Real friends don’t tell you that they’re your friends.
• The unconditional love of a dog is better than any therapy money can buy.
