You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

#7ForSunday #Quotes #RichardFeynman #SelfImprovementEl peligro de los idiotas ilustrados: por qué las habilidades blandas importan más que los títulos
A menudo se confunde el éxito académico con la capacidad humana. El célebre físico y premio Nobel, Richard Feynman, lo resumió de forma implacable al advertir que nunca se debe confundir la educación formal con la inteligencia, pues es perfectamente posible poseer un doctorado y seguir siendo un idiota. Esta verdad golpea de frente a un sistema educativo obsesionado con acumular datos, calificaciones y títulos, mientras deja en el olvido la formación de la verdadera esencia de un individuo. El conocimiento técnico puede abrir las puertas de un empleo, pero son las competencias socioemocionales las que determinan si una persona es capaz de construir una vida valiosa y convivir en sociedad.
El verdadero desarrollo humano comienza mucho antes de que un estudiante pise un aula universitaria. La educación temprana comete el error de priorizar la memorización sobre el cultivo de las llamadas habilidades blandas, tales como la empatía, la resiliencia, el autocontrol y la comunicación efectiva. Intentar llenar la mente de un niño con conceptos abstractos sin antes enseñarle a gestionar su frustración o a cooperar con sus iguales es como construir un edificio sobre arena. Antes de aspirar a acumular bienes materiales o credenciales académicas, se requiere aprender a ser persona. Un individuo que sabe escuchar, que respeta la diferencia y que resuelve conflictos de forma pacífica aporta mucho más al mundo que un genio egoísta incapaz de mirar más allá de su propio ombligo. Las aulas del futuro necesitan entender que la inteligencia emocional no es un accesorio, sino el eje central de toda formación.

Wealth is not happiness nor is swimming pools and villas. Nor is great work alone reward, or fame. Foreign places visited themselves give nothing. It is only you who bring to the places your heart, or in your great work feeling, or in your large house place. If you do this there is happiness.

They're making money off people watching the advertisements. They're not going to stop.
Now if there were some way to penalize the advertizers and their clients, it would stop tout de suite.

WolframAlpha
I wonder how many Sundays are between June 17th 2012 and today?
WolframAlpha: 79.
Ho. Lee. Crap. That’s awesome.
You do know about WolframAlpha, right? …the “computational knowledge engine”? No? Go there. Ask it things.
Stephen Wolfram is a character. (But anyone whose thesis committee contains Richard Feynman gets a complete pass in my book.) “This math stuff is annoying…” Bam! Mathematica. And if you want to really go “whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!”, try to wrap your brain around, A New Kind of Science.

#RichardFeynman #StephenWolframMathematics
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. C.P. Snow talked about two cultures. I really think that those two cultures separate people who have and people who have not had this experience of understanding mathematics well enough to appreciate nature once. […] Physicists cannot make a conversion to any other language. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. She offers her information only in one form; we are not so unhumble as to demand that she change before we pay any attention.
