Quotes
( "World-class quality in every aspect of one's work is essential for young engineers in today's super-competitive global marketplace." "European culture is less daring. American culture says 'tomorrow will always be better,' and failure is not a stigma. One has the ability to be creative. A lot of entrepreneurship emerges from the climate this country encourages." ) Hans Stork, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Texas Instruments Inc, 2004
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it ..."
"In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is."
