Ricky Martin A lot of people say, ‘Wow, you’re a single father of twin boys, that’s crazy!’ Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, ‘Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,’ it can’t get better. – Ricky Martin

Joshua Waitzkin Initially I was very drawn to the Tao Te Ching, the Taoist philosophy. It was helping me deal with the balance of these external and internal issues with my chess life.

Eddie Huang When I feel off, I read the ‘Tao Te Ching’ to get my equilibrium right. I started reading it in the eleventh grade. – Eddie Huang
