My Dad sent me these quotes this morning:
“You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.”
― Richard P. Feynman
He also said: “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.”
― Richard P. Feynman
And
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.”
― Richard P. Feynman
And Finally, and this applies on many levels:
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.”
― Richard P. Feynman
