    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.

    It is imperative in science to doubt; it is absolutely necessary, for progress in science, to have uncertainty as a fundamental part of your inner nature. To make progress in understanding, we must remain modest and allow that we do not know.

    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.

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

    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 and discussed. It's OK to say, "I don't know."

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

    The FEYNMAN technique of learning: STEP 1 - Pick and study a topic STEP 2 - Explain the topic to someone, like a child, who is unfamiliar with the topic STEP 3 - Identify any gaps in your understanding STEP 4 - Review and Simplify!

    I would rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.

    If you have a theory, you must try to explain what’s good and what’s bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty.

    Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

    It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. *Cornell University Lecture, 1964*
