The Importance of Believing in Yourself

I was always feeling like I didn't belong at Stanford. My husband Matt said, "Do you want to be the smartest person on that research group?" If you are the dumbest person, you're going to learn something. It's like playing tennis. You don't want to have your tennis class with somebody that is worse than you. The second point that I get a lot is no, not everyone here is way smarter than you are. But everybody here is smart in different ways. And I think part of it is believing in yourself.
