Nobel laureate got D in Chemistry class

I have stopped reading the newspaper for a few weeks now, quite regretfully. I wish I could start again, but I seem to have started enjoying the freedom of not being drawn to a stack of papers. But I am being disconnected from the world.

A newspaper article from The Straits Times May 10 2008 from Science section captivated me and I have kept the article with me till now.

Why?

"Would people have said I'd achieve anything? Probably not. Singapore has to take a few chances on young people who may not fit the cookie-cutter mould. 

For those who want to achieve something unique, you need to be in the right place at the right time and your eyes have to be wide open."

This speaks a lot to me, because I'm very far from the cookie-cutter mould.

I guess that's why God speaks so much to me. Because He uses people who are so unusable to the world. :) The moment I think I'm usable, I lose my usefulness. Humility's the key!! :)
