Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - 'which is the mostest? which is the leastest?'

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.
