Look for New Problems to Solve

[My father] advised me to sit every few months in my reading chair for an entire evening, close my eyes and try to think of new problems to solve. I took his advice very seriously and have been glad ever since that he did.

Notes:

An interesting regular mental exercise for any scientist.
