    Yes, this is funny, but anyone worth knowing in a PhD program will quote Hawkings at you if you take the green part too seriously.

    "Only losers brag about their IQ."

    Or Thomas Edison (and yes, he was actually a decent engineer before he realized how much easier it is to just own a company)

    "Great accomplishments depend not so much on ingenuity as on hard work."
