4.10.5 Not enough

1. “You’ve got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.” — Ray Bradbury

2. 看風不用播種, 看雲不用收割. — 傳道書

At a time, I had a discussion with a friend. He asked me whether I would apply for an engineer-training job in order to get an engineer license. I said I did not have enough capacity for such a job. He replied, “If you feel that you are not enough, you are always not enough. The point is not to be enough right now. The point is to get the job first, and then make yourself be enough for it.”

Feynman

4.11 A physics career

A young man wrote physicist Feynman a letter, asking how to know whether he was suitable for a physics career. Feynman gave the following reply:

“I say this. Try to find some friends who are somewhat interested in physics and try to discuss physics things with them. If you find yourself able to explain things in your own words, so that they are led to understand things from what you say, you are OK. Soon you will find yourself able to explain things to yourself. Otherwise, give up and plan for a different career. If you can’t find such friends, try to tutor elementary physics, and see how it goes.” [12]

Hacker

4.10 Hacker approach [10]

1. “a belief that even though you may not know all of what you need to solve a problem, if you tackle just a piece of it and learn from that, you’ll learn enough to solve the next piece – and so on, until you’re done.”

–Eric S. Raymond’s How To Become A Hacker

2. “… began doing just one thing ever which he had control.”

— Stephen Covey

3. “So start small, and think about the details. Don’t think about some big picture and fancy design. If it doesn’t solve some fairly immediate need, it’s almost certainly over-designed.”

— Linus Torvalds

4. “I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people convinced that they are about to change the world. I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference after another.”

— Ellen Goodman

.

.

.

[10] Hacker here means a highly skilled programmer, not a computer criminal.

“In academia, a “hacker” is a person who follows a spirit of playful cleverness and enjoys programming.”

– Wikipedia on Hacker (academia)

今天選定了科目:

.
1. PHY4260 Statistical Mechanics 統計力學(輕量級)

2. PHY5510 Advanced Statistical Mechanics  統計力學(重量級)

.

理論上,

要讀過第一科才可以修第二科.

第一科是第二科的前傳.

但我決定了同時修讀這兩科,

前傳和正傳同時放映.

.

.

正常結果:

統計力學(輕量級)    A

統計力學(重量級)    B-

.

目標結果:

統計力學(輕量級)    A

統計力學(重量級)    A

“孤單中顫抖　可知我實在難受”

— 有誰共鳴

.

這三年來, 最難受的日子大概是

星期日, 要自己一個, 在 Staff Room 4 裡改卷改簿.

.

.

今天更難受,

一切要重新開始,

身邊一個朋友也沒有.

以後,

連星期一至五也要孤伶伶的.
