My Cambridge stint has been one of the most enriching and memorable chapters of my life.
Smartness comes in many different ways, just like there are many styles and personalities.
Deep values that will stay with me for a long time to come: Commitment to excellence. Integrity. Meritocracy. Open collaboration. Responsibility to make the world a better place. Generosity. Kindness. Respect. Gratitude. Sympathy. Humility.
And I will remember President Rafael Reif's charge: (The full commencement speech can be found here)
"... I want you to change the source code. Rewire the circuits. Rearrange the molecules. Reformulate the equation. In short, I want you to hack the world ... until you make the world a little more like MIT. more daring and more passionate. More rigorous, inventive and ambitious. More humble, more respectful, more generous and more kind.... Find your calling! Solve the unsolvable! Shape the future! Take the high road!"
