Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.

While many people consider sensory experience as the main source of happiness, really it is peace of mind. What destroys peace of mind is anger, hatred, anxiety and fear. Kindness counters this—and through appropriate education we can learn to tackle such emotions.

MATHEMATICS. To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

 

  Richard Feynman‏ @ProfFeynman

Students should be made to think like scientists, be open-minded, curious, and especially, to doubt.

FOUR Productivity FEYNMAN- strategies: 

i) Stop trying to know-it-all. 

ii) Don't worry about what others are thinking. 

iii) Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. 

iv) Have a sense of humor and talk honestly.

We need to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed. It's OK to say, "I don't know."

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it yourself.

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Do what you get the most pleasure from.

A great way to learn is to explain.

 

If you want to master something, teach it.

Here are FOUR steps of FEYNMAN technique to learn: 

STEP 1: Choose a concept 

STEP 2: Pretend teaching it to a child 

STEP 3: Identify gaps and go back to the source material 

STEP 4: Review and SIMPLIFY 

The statements of science are not of what is true and what is not true, but statements of what is known with different degrees of certainty.



 You must not be afraid of your uniqueness and you must care less and less what people think of you. You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be.

My favourite quote

"Nature smiles at the union of freedom and equality in our utopias.

 For freedom and equality are sworn and everlasting enemies, and when one prevails the other dies.

 "Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not." Dr. Edward Teller

Make mistakes and learn! Being wrong isn't a bad thing like they teach you in school. It is an opportunity to learn something.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible. 

FEYNMAN learning strategy in THREE points: 

1. Continually ask "Why?" 

2. When you learn something, learn it to where you can explain it to a child.
3. Instead of arbitrarily memorizing things, look for the explanation that makes it obvious.

There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. No one can fool you as easily as you can fool yourself.

Richard Feynman‏ @ProfFeynman Jun 5

The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability.

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.














The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.



Learn how to LEARN with these FOUR steps: i) Choose a concept ii) Pretend to teach it to a child (in simple terms) iii) Identify gaps and go back to the source material iv) Review and Simplify WRITE, EXPLAIN, FILL THE GAPS, and SIMPLIFY
