"The distance you travel is decided on your hardest days." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Your worst days will define your best days.

Your biggest mistakes make for your greatest successes.

The moments in which you seem you can barely give it enough will lead you to giving it everything you’ve got.

When it seems everything you are doing can’t make things right, you’ll suddenly find a way.

Those days in which you don’t seem to think you have enough in your tank are quietly recharging your batteries.

Do you sense a theme here?

When I talk about innovation, I constantly point out that the greatest innovators all shared something in common — they failed their way to success.

They got to the top by scraping along the bottom for a time. They only saw wonderful final results after a series of terrible, awful results.

So when those moments of quiet desperation hit, do what everyone has done: pick yourself up, shake it off, and keep moving. because things always come to those who put in the work.

Because the distance you travel is decided on those very days.

(Oh, and before you ask — no, there isn’t anything wrong here! This is just the thought that came to my head as I started my day today!)

I wasn’t elected to the council this year.

And that’s OK.

Because this is bigger than one vote. Radon is a major public health issue and we need committed scientific voices in decision-making spaces. I’ll put my name forward again next year.

Proud to be part of such a strong research community.

Pretty sensible. I tend to follow the 90/10 rule. 90% of what you do really matters. Holiday meals are my 10%.
