In the real world, answers may not be clear cut. There will be messy choices, and you’re not going to be able to construct a policy response in a neat and tidy way. Being able to listen to other people, even as you stay true to your principles, that’s how you actually succeed.
One way to solve a mystery is by asking the right questions until answers start to emerge.

Women want to connect with others here and now; they couldn’t care less about legacy!
In every man’s heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
