Words of Wisdom from my Late Mentor
The following is a quotation from my late mentor, Jyrki Koivisto, to my high school graduating class. A couple of months after sharing this advice, at the age of 48, he passed away of a sudden brain aneurysm. Koivisto's philosophy has consistently guided mine, especially in teaching.
I have 3 pieces of advice:
- Always be true to yourself.
- Always give to others.
- Always persevere; never give up.
- Don't worry: there is a future for all of us.
- Always bring a towel.
