A Quote by David Sarnoff
I ... began my career as a wireless amateur. After 43 years in radio, I do not mind confessing that I am still an amateur. Despite many great achievements in the science of radio and electronics, what we know today is far less than what we have still to learn.

You know all the boxing styles, you?re prepared for anything, you?ve got the pedigree that you need to be a successful pro.
