almost lost middle
We were almost lost in the middle of the Pacific. We almost capsized in those doldrums.
aspect basket beat buy fact four gave help several shots successful three
We were beat in every aspect of the game, rebounding especially. We gave them three and four shots on several possessions and you can't be successful when you let that happen. The fact that we couldn't buy a basket didn't help either.
close top
We were close -- the top of that ridge.
few next
We'll tell you that in the next few weeks.
stills science-and-society courses
One of our brainchildren is a still viable Science and Society course.
years nobel prize
The years since the Nobel Prize have been productive ones for me.
interesting challenges humanity
The first months at Harvard were more than challenging, as I came to the realization that the humanities could be genuinely interesting, and, in fact, given the weaknesses of my background, very difficult.
effort fields fluctuation
The field of quantum valence fluctuations was another older interest which became much more active during this period, partly as a consequence of my own efforts.
spring years hiking
A souvenir of those years is a small cottage on the cliffs of Cornwall, where Joyce and I spend a spring month every year, hiking and seeing friends.
nature attitude science
Feynman's cryptic remark, "no one is that much smarter ...," to me, implies something Feynman kept emphasizing: that the key to his achievements was not anything "magical" but the right attitude, the focus on nature's reality, the focus on asking the right questions, the willingness to try (and to discard) unconventional answers, the sensitive ear for phoniness, self-deception, bombast, and conventional but unproven assumptions.
atheist attitude may
We atheists can... argue that, with the modern revolution in attitudes toward homosexuals, we have become the only group that may not reveal itself in normal social discourse.
business thinking organization
...there is no more strategic issue for a company, or any organization, than its ultimate purpose. For those who think business exists to make a profit, I suggest they think again. Business makes a profit to exist. Surely it must exist for some higher, nobler purpose than that.
earth next revolution
The new course we're on at Interface ... is to pioneer the next Industrial Revolution: one that is kinder and gentler to the earth.
business different needs
If we somehow put a value on species extinction and factor that into our costs that bottom line would look very different. IF we put any resource depletion into costs our bottom line would change. So what we have is a dishonest market that does not take into account all the costs when it establishes its prices. We need an honest marketplace before we can let the market work for sustainability rather than against it as it works today.
