For every failure there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock take a detour.

As for the forces electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.

If you take any world problem any issue on the planet the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education the roadblock is the laptop.

The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility.

And we turned off and 30 miles south they're standing in the middle of our road blocking our way stopped the car got out took us through the path in the woods where the craft was on the ground.

I was at this casino minding my own business and this guy came up to me and said 'You're gonna have to move you're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs you are never blocking a fire exit.

A grave blockhead should always go about with a lively one - they show one another off to the best advantage.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves whether it's shyness insecurity anxiety whether it's a physical block and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.
