A Lesson in Life
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.Â

If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it

Cheerfulness in most cheerful people is the rich and satisfying result of strenuous discipline

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have

Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

Albert Einstein had been working on his theory of relativity a lot and he was just about finished. He was almost ready to publish his work. However, he was under a lot of stress so he thought he would go on vacation to Mexico.
Albert had a glorious two-week vacation and was having the time of his life. On the last night he was staying there, he decided to take a walk along the beach and watch the sunset.
As he watched the sun go down, he thought of the light of the sun and then the speed of light. You see, he had been using the speed of light in a lot of his calculations but he didn't decided on what symbol to use for it. Greek had been so overused.
Just at that moment, Senior Wensez was also walking along the beach in the opposite direction. Albert caught him out of the corner of his eye and remarked suddenly, "Do you not zink zat zee speed of light is very fast?"
Senior Wensez paused for a moment and replied, "Si."

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Albert Einstein Memorial Statue

The memorial to Albert Einstein is situated in the National Academy of Sciences grounds, Washington, DC. The bronze figure, weighing approximately 4 tons, is 12 feet in height. Three caissons, totaling 135 tons, sunk in bedrock to a depth of 23 to 25 feet, support the monument.
In its left hand, the figure holds a paper with mathematical equations summarizing three of Einstein's most important scientific contributions: the photoelectric effect, the theory of general relativity, and the equivalence of energy and matter.

Einstein once said that it would be hard to teach in a co-ed college since guys were only looking on girls and not listening to the teacher. He was objected that they would be listening to him very attentively, forgetting about any girls. But such guys won't be worth teaching, - replied the great man.

In the period that Einstein was active as a professor, one of his students came to him and said: "The questions of this year's exam are the same as last years!" "True," Einstein said, "but this year all answers are different."

Einstein the Student

It would be interesting to know what kind of student Einstein was.
In 1895 – at the age of sixteen - he took the entrance examination for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and failed. He was advised to study at a Swiss school in Aarau; here his teachers were humane and his ideas were set free. His thoughts turned to the theory of electromagnetism formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, seldom taught even in universities at the turn of the century. Here Einstein, an outstanding student, obtained the best school-leaving certificate in his class.

The story is that Albert Einstein's driver used to sit at the back of the hall during each of his lectures, and after a period of time, remarked to Einstein that he could probably give the lecture himself, having heard it several times.
So, at the next stop on the tour, Einstein and the driver switched places, with Einstein sitting at the back, in driver's uniform.
The driver gave the lecture, flawlessly. At the end, a member of the audience asked a detailed question about some of the subject matter, upon which the lecturer replied, 'well, the answer to that question is quite simple, I bet that my driver, sitting up at the back, there, could answer it...'

Einstein's second greatest contribution - he said that when he was cooking soup and also wanted a soft-boiled egg he would add the egg to the soup and thereby have one less pot to wash...

What Is a Black Hole, Really?
A black hole is a celestial object of such extremely intense gravity that it attracts everything near it and prevents everything, including light, from escaping. The term was first used in reference to a star in the last phases of gravitational collapse.

Gravitational collapse begins when a star has depleted its steady sources of nuclear energy and can no longer produce the expansive force, a result of normal gas pressure, that supports the star against the compressive force of its own gravitation. In some cases, nothing remains to prevent the star from collapsing without limit to an indefinitely small size and infinitely large density, to create a black hole.

At this point the effects of Einstein's general theory of relativity become paramount. According to this theory, space becomes curved in the vicinity of matter (this is the meaning of gravity); the greater the concentration of matter, the greater the curvature (the greater the gravity). When the star shrinks below a certain size determined by its mass, the extreme curvature of space seals off contact with the outside world. The place beyond which no radiation can escape even not light.
It is now believed that the origin of some black holes is nonstellar. Some astrophysicists suggest that immense volumes of interstellar matter can collect and collapse into supermassive black holes, such as are found at the center of some galaxies.

Because light and other forms of energy and matter are permanently trapped inside a black hole, it can never be observed directly. However, a black hole could be detected by the effect of its gravitational field on nearby objects (e.g., if it is orbited by a visible star), during the collapse while it was forming, or by the X rays and radio frequency signals emitted by rapidly swirling matter being pulled into the black hole. A small number of possible black holes have been detected, although none of the discoveries has been conclusive.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel.

The last time I spoke to this group many of you had colds. When I ended my speech I said, "I hope you get better soon." One of the members said, "I hope you do, too."

It is impossible to defeat an ignornant man in an argument.

And 'tis remarkable that they talk most, who have least to say.

While the right to talk may be the beginning of freedom, the necessity of listening is what makes the right important.

Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.

I remember a story told by a teacher...one winter afternoon she was showing a small boy how to zip up his coat. "The secret," she said, "is to gert the piece of the zipper to fit in the other side before you try to zip it up." The young boy looked at the teacher quizzically and asked, "Why does it have to be a secret?"

A terrified and inexpereinced speaker stood up at a meeting and confessed, "My friends, when I came here tonight only God and myself knew what I was going to talk about...now God only knows."

It is hard to feel that life on Mars is possible when so often it seems impossible here on earth.

"Great God, let me walk three weeks in the footsteps of my enemy, carry the same burden, have the same trials and temptations as he, before I say one word to criticize him."

It isn't easy to keep your mouth and your mind open at the same time.

No one leads the orchestra without turning his back on the crowd.

Some people know how to live everyone else's life, but their own.

An antique is a piece of furniture that is paid for.

A rich man is only a poor man with money.

Conscience is what makes a small boy tell his Dad before his sister does.

If at first you don't succeed, you are about like everyone else.

Why are the ignorant so certain and the intelligent so uncertain?

Don't worry about what people think of you, they seldom do.

An ounce of keep your mouth shut beats a ton of explanation.

The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

Speak when you are angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.

he most welcome person is the one who knows when to leave.

No one has more ups and downs than the person at the back seat of a bus

If a person wants to get ahead, he has to start without all the advantages others have.

Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

The hatred we bear our enemies, injuries their happiness less than our own.

Life is a tradegy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone, For sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.

It's easy to pick out the best people, they'll help you do it.

You'll never know all the answers because you will never be asked all the questions.

No two people are alike and they are both glad.

The man who says money can do everything, hasn't any.

Remember, your relatives had no choice in the matter either.

There is no education like adversity.

All men have eyes but few have the gift of penetration.

Strong and bitter words dictate a weak cause.

A laugh a day keeps the doctor away!

I have just one wish for you. The good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the scientific integrity and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization , or financial support or so on , to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom. Try to have utter scientific integrity.
-Richard Feynman
