Lessons from Nobel Prize Winner Marie Curie

I like history and this popped up in my online feed this morning. I thought it was interesting and that these snippets from the article were pertinent to our group.

Marie Curie once said:

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and, above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.”

What did she mean by that we are gifted for something?

When she later urged people to "believe that we are gifted for something," she was talking about the years of research conducted under harsh conditions, with limited resources, and with a level of dedication many described as almost superhuman. Marie Curie’s achievements remain unmatched. She became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes, and the only individual to earn Nobel honors in two different scientific fields.

And that’s exactly what her iconic quote leaves us with today:

it's a cue that difficulties don’t define us. What defines us is the confidence to keep moving toward the thing we’re meant to accomplish, just as she did.
