Materials science and chemistry: Pathway to innovation!

One can describe the history of civilization as a series of breakthroughs in materials science and chemistry. Beginning with the Stone Age, we have progressed through Bronze, Iron, Nuclear, and Silicon ages. Materials lend their names to ages because materials define technological capabilities. Advances in materials and chemistry have shaped history and the balance of economic and military power: iron and steel, gunpowder, ammonia synthesis, antibiotics, uranium and plutonium, silicon-based electronics. Materials and chemistry have enabled modern civilization, providing a pathway to innovation in industry, energy, agriculture, national security, health, and information technology.

Difficulties Are Opportunites

Difficulties are opportunities to better things, they are stepping stones to greater experiences. Perhaps some day you will be thankful for some temporary failures in a particular direction. When one door closes, another always opens, as a natural law it has to be, to balance.

Progress is made by those who do what they are afraid to do. Progress is made by those who do what they did not previously know they could do.

You cannot push the world forward by staying safe and comfortable. You cannot make great advances by holding tightly to the tired excuses and outdated assumptions.

It is energizing and liberating to turn down a road you have not traveled before. To reach toward what you cannot yet touch brings new passion and strength to your life.

You are amazingly able to do not only what you have already done, but also what you cannot yet do. Your capacity for learning and improvement has no limit.

Beyond where you are comfortable is where you will grow and improve and achieve. Nudge yourself away from what you already know, and discover how very much more you can be.

Give yourself the priceless gifts of new experiences, new skills, new knowledge and the confidence of knowing how quickly you can grow. Expand your horizons, again and again, and discover that every limit is there to be transcended.
