Paul made me feel that way

Submitted by Riki on Mon, 07/04/2011 - 1:38pm.

Paul made me feel that way too. My freshman year he asked me to read over a paper he was submitting for publication; he wanted to know what I thought of it. I couldn't believe he would want my opinion on his paper -- what did I know about anything? But that's just it. To Paul, everyone is an expert in some way and has something interesting to contribute. I don't think I understood what his paper was about, so I asked him a lot of questions. He probably leaned back in his chair, rubbed his eyes, and said, "That's interesting. I never thought about it that way."
