I am peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier．Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time．

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America． I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London． But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said："Well, I'm really sorry, I've got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington．"So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said："In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom．"She just dropped everything． She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me．re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled．

For this courier job, you're consciously aware than that box you're got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life．

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said："Make something out of the Tinkertoys．You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week."

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
