Quote:

Favorite quote from Albert Einstein is “Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere”. Favorite quote from Yoda is: “The greatest teacher, failure is”. Favorite quote from Henry Ford is: “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”. My personal saying is “My dyslexia may cause me to have some difficulties and take longer to process somethings, but my successes are because of it forcing me to think differently, to see things in a broader sense, to practice problem solving daily, and to be more creative. Dyslexia isn’t my deficit, but my advantage.
