- In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.
- It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.
- Like after a nice walk when you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go home, after a while I decided it was time to go home, let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at that moment that I came face to face with the Big Challenge: What is the way home?
