Isidor Isaac Rabi (1898 - 1988)

Once someone asked why he chose to become a scientist and not a lawyer, a doctor or a businessman. He responded:

"My mother made me a scientist without ever intending it. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: "So? Did you learn anything today?" But not my mother. She always asked me a different question. "Izzy," she would say, "did you ask a good question today?" That difference--asking good questions-- made me become a scientist!"

Keep asking questions! Did you ask a good question today?
