"So often you hear people say, 'Oh I could never do that,' or 'Oh I could never be an inventor.' Early on, I thought to myself, why not? Therefore, this line of thinking confused me, that of limiting yourself to some preconceived notion of what is possible. I spent a lot of time questioning this, confused by it. I eventually determined it wasn't true, at least for myself, and that I disagreed with that mindset. So I promised myself that I could do anything I set my mind to. What I find most thrilling about what I do is overcoming the odds that are supposedly stacked against me. So in short, I guess what I love most about my field is that anything is possible, and no challenge is too great to overcome."
