From “Notices of the Mathematical Society”.
• Do something new—don’t run with the pack.
I am not such a fast runner. If I am one of 𝑁
people all working on the same problem, there is
very little chance I will win. If I can think of a new
problem in a new area, that will give me a chance.
• Surround yourself with the smartest people you
can find.
When you see such a person, do all you can to
get them on board.
• Be guided by beauty.
This is obviously true in doing mathematics or
writing poetry, but it is also true in fashioning an
organization that is running extremely well and
accomplishing its mission with excellence.
• Don’t give up easily.
Some things take much longer than one initially
expects. If the goal is worth achieving just
stick with it.
• Hope for Good Luck!
