"Talk by Richard hamming"
Watched "You and Your Research" lecture by Richard hamming. The talk is about his life experiences and what are the key elements to become successful & great.
Listing down the things which i liked
'The unexamined life is not worth living' - Socrates.
'Once famous it is very easy to stay famous'
'The right problem, the right time in the right way' is the only thing which counts.
'Luck favours the prepared mind'. When lighting strikes it hits you or not.
'Progress requires change, but change does not mean progress'
'Study success' of other peoples and adapt things which fits your personality.
It isn't what you do, it is the way you do, Taste & Style is everything
Constant hard work and being at the problem all the time'
It will be taken away from you, if you do not do anything outstanding.
If you do not work on an important problem, it’s unlikely you’ll do important work. Believe that you can do good & great work
Have Vision and use excellence as the tool to achieve the vision
What appears to be the defect could be a asset.Turn the nature of the problem and look at it differently to find the real problem.
Set aside the time to think about great thoughts
'Tolerate ambiguity' - Believe in the stuff you are working and disbelief so that you can make the big change when you are wrong.
Important problems are the ones which have a way to attack.
The onus is on us to demonstrate greatness in order to do great work
Effort to become great is worth it.Better than Wine, Women & Song together.
