Boomerang! BlogSaturday, November 8, 2008 Direction Forward Along with the money piece and a cool Tucker Jones mystery, our upcoming issue features an incredible "interview" with Richard Feynman, widely considered one of the most creative "scientific thinkers" since Einstein. Feynman is a brilliant scientist. But it is his ability to communicate hugely complex topics to we creatures scientifically disinclined, that is a joy to behold . The quotation below demonstrates his grand perspective reaches far beyond physics. At its most basic, the quotation is a magniificent capture of what it means to be a successful student. On a larger scale, it is the climate we anxiously anticipate in this bold, new world. "You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself — it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are." -- Richard Feynman posted by Boomerang! 9:42 AM   ArchivesFebruary 2007 March 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 April 2008 June 2008 July 2008 September 2008 November 2008 January 2009
