"Get a solid foundation. It’s a question of how young you’re talking about, but if you’re in high school or younger, pay attention to the basics. Pay attention to mathematics. Pay attention to chemistry and physics. Don’t be seduced by the quick pull to creating cool little robots that are moving around. You can do that. That’s okay. But you need to have a deep understanding of the fundamental principles upon which robotics, which is a science, is based upon. Pay attention to that, and work hard, and you have to have a passion for it. If you don’t have a passion for robotics – and almost any field, for that matter, as well, too – you probably shouldn’t go into it. Don’t – although you can make a good living in it, it shouldn’t be about money. It should be about joy, fulfillment, and creating new knowledge."
