Science is not a matter of opinion; there is only one truth.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands - Michelangelo

A great artist is always before his time or behind it - George Edward

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery - Francis Bacon

Land really is the best art - Andy Warhol

"Art is not what you see but what others make you see"

-French Artist, Edgar Degas

The best scientists themselves are usually artists - Einstein

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from - Jodie Foster

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt

People have opinions about art, whereas science is a bit more concrete.

“All art should become science and all science art,” declared the German Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel

Einstein once declared, "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

When people asked Leonardo da Vinci the secret of his creative and inventing genius, he replied “Saper Vedere,” - to know how to see.

Saper vedere, Sapio audacter …sapere aude
To see is to know – dare to know …dare to be wise-think boldly!

Words have more influence when tied to an identity.

Ideas are not set in stone. When exposed to thoughtful people, they morph and adapt into their most potent form.

"An artist sells what he paints. A painter paints what he sells."- Pablo Picasso

John Cleese - “Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

Creativity is combining and connecting things:

Successful scientists have often been people with wide interests. Their originality may have derived from their diverse knowledge … Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected - Beveridge

Only when they have exhausted all the food , water and air , they will know they cannot eat money!

Oftentimes the right moment to learn the most is when you’ve done something stupid, not necessarily when you’ve triumphed.

An optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full - half with water and half with air .

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 7, 2015 at 6:51am: Traits of mentally strong people:
Self-reliance: They don't rely on others to solve - or own - their problems.
Instinctiveness: Often driven by an inner force, belief that what they are doing is right and thus a deep trust of their instincts.
Talent: Take away everything they've done and have and they could do it again because they have talents, natural skills.
Adaptable: They welcome change and the challenges it brings. Or at least aren't panicked by it.
Fearless: They take risks and don't wallow in failure, every failure is a chance to learn more and do better the next time.
Forgiveness: Forgiveness is healing, without healing your mind suffers. This is a crucial aspect of mentally tough individuals.
Kindness: Generosity to others, treating people well, even putting them before yourself takes enormous strength because when you do it, you make yourself more vulnerable.
Self-awareness: Mentally strong people know who they are, what they are about, where they stand, it allows them to thrive even when nothing else seems to be going right.
Self-confidence: After self-awareness comes self-confidence. A belief that "I can do this." Hope in one's self, is another way to say it.
Patience: Mentally strong people are not, by any means, all of these things all the time. Often they are the opposite, but they know they will once again return to a place of thriving, even when it's bleak.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 1, 2015 at 8:22am: Reasoning is of two types:

1. Unbiased and neutral

2. Biased that follows confirmation bias

You will never, ever beat somebody who does not reason well and follow the second type. Because s/he refuses to see things in the way they are! That sucks, it really does, but it is a bare and undeniable fact. Because of that, it's going to hurt, but you'll find that it's forgotten fairly quickly.

Just walk away from people who does the second type of reasoning; Never continue the argument with them as soon as you find what type of reasoning they are following. Once you've satisfied yourself that neutral reason is not going to suffice, you're done. You don't even have to announce, "I see you're unreasonable, and I've done all I can." Just walk away. Period.

Because they say: Never argue with a fool. He will not only bring you down to his level but also beat you with his experience in foolishness!

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 1, 2015 at 4:58am: "[This is not the age of reason], it's the era of flummery, and the day of the devious approach. Reason's gone into the backrooms where it works to devise means by which people can be induced to emote in the desired direction." - Wyndham, John (1960), The Trouble With Lichen, Penguin, p. 91.

The secret of success is the consistency to pursue.

"Love people for who they are, and not for who you want them to be."

"Shine with all you have. When someone tries to blow you out, just take their oxygen and burn brighter."

-- Katelyn S. Irons

We will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word."

-- Goran Persson

Go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on April 29, 2015 at 7:06am: Be yourself: Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love you.

You will never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.
You're living in this world right here and right now. Make *that* better.
There are some kind of men who are so busy worrying about the next world, they have never learned to live in this one.
The simplest gesture can be the hugest gift.
We are paying the highest tribute you can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It is that simple.
Privilege is real. From race to baking cakes. Sometimes you're born into it, and sometimes you're born with it.
We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe. What justice we expect in in the world and the kind of justice we get if we don't acknowledge some human imperfections and biases. It's so relevant.
Sometimes the truth can't save you.
- From the Classic 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on April 23, 2015 at 8:23am: "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak"
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Learning and liberty march hand in hand, or they do not march at all: the one is the condition of the other.

Indicators arise from values (we measure what we care about), and they create values (we care about what we measure). Indicators are often poorly chosen […] The choice of indicators is a critical determinant of the behavior of a system. .. with regard to value systems in science... by
American environmental scientist and thinker, Donella Meadows.

"On this road called life, you have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never forget. People change. Things go wrong. But just remember, the ride goes on."

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
