However, after attending the course, Steve’s humorous speeches and lectures and his organization of the key points for paper submission was really worth the price. Steve also shared numerous adages that are really beneficial, such as “when you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all,” or that we should spend 15 minutes each day focusing on paper writing, which was really helpful to me.
