For what it's worth, graduate degrees are a greater measure of perseverance than intelligence, and that's a gift that is far more rare and valuable.
yeah, what's with the 2 degrees from MIT bit? I've read this a hundred times. Wayne, start touting your presevereance side. It's not like we missed that part either with your building of PP over the years. Or the 3 books. What are you missing? I solved RC with a hammer. No preseverance, patience or intelligence.
