"When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe or by what you think would have beneficial social effects if it were believed" - Bertrand Russell That pretty well sums up what I believe in and thus strive to do, professionally and privately.
