The Art of Breaking and Making: How Being Curious and Confident (Even If Unwarranted) Led to Amazing Opportunities for Almost 60 Years

As a kid I was considered somewhat of a terror. But not in the usual way you would imagine for a little boy. Outwardly I was polite, mild mannered, and rarely fought with anyone. But on the inside, I was hyper-curious. I had to know how everything worked. What's inside that? What would happen if I did this? These experiments often used force, which broke most of the objects I explored. Some of the items were mine, and that was ok since I was able to see inside and could still play with parts and the box the toy came in. Unfortunately, some of the items belonged to others, and they didn't appreciate their toys being broken, which led to my reputation.
