Be better, Kid @bebetterkid - Tumblr Blog

Our hearts have the capacity to feel the crushing weight of the ocean or to soar above mountains. Yet we convince ourselves that we’re ordinary.

I was an ordinary person who studied hard.

Richard Feynman, theoretical physicist, d. 1988 (via whats-out-there)

Context:

“You ask me if an ordinary person could ever get to be able to imagine these things like I imagine them. Of course! I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There are no miracle people. It happens they get interested in this thing and they learn all this stuff, but they’re just people. There’s no talent, no special ability to understand quantum mechanics, or to imagine electromagnetic fields, that comes without practice and reading and learning and study. I was not born understanding quantum mechanics – I still don’t understand quantum mechanics! I was born not knowing things were made out of atoms, and not being able to visualize, therefore, when I saw the bottle of milk that I was sucking, that it was a dynamic bunch of balls bouncing around. I had to learn that just like anybody else. So if you take an ordinary person who is willing to devote a great deal of time and work and thinking and mathematics, then he’s become a scientist!”

Looks just like my pup

Patients withdrawing from alcohol, having runs of v-tach, demanding to go against medical leave, threatening to pull their IV out if they don't, with a head full of lice, and it's flu season? What the fuck.
