"You need to get into a new field to get new viewpoints, and before you use up all the old ones. <br><br>You can do something about this, but it takes effort and energy. <br><br>It takes courage to say, ``Yes, I will give up my great reputation.'' <br><br>For example, when error correcting codes were well launched, having these theories, I said, `Hamming, you are going to quit reading papers in the field; you are going to ignore it completely; you are going to try and do something else other than coast on that.`"
