What Do You Care What Other People Think?

Last few weeks, I spent some time exploring life and work of Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988), a winner of Nobel Prize in Physics, inventor of Feynman diagram for quantum field theory calculations, a member of the investigating panel on Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and a professor at Caltech.

• Read book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Adventures of a Curious Character Richard P. Feynman


• Listened to an audio book What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character Richard P. Feynman


• Watched a PBS NOVA documentary DVD The best mind since Einstein profiling Richard Feynman.


• Watched this 50 minutes Google Video The pleasure of finding things out - RP Feynman

Why did I want to know more about Richard Feynman? He was brought to my attention by my boss. For a while, he has been commenting that I remind him of his Physics professor at Caltech. Now, I am sure not for my beautiful mind but for my eccentricities like speaking my mind and questioning status quo.

In the end, learning about Richard Feynman and his work gave me a new perspective on feedback received from others irrespective of whether it is about my blog or the ways I approach and discuss issues.

Thank you all for your opinions and feedbacks and keep them coming! And, no I am not growing up and I have no plans to quit blogging.
