FEYNMAN learning strategy in THREE points: i) Continually ask "Why?" ii) When you learn something, learn it to where you can explain it to a child. iii) Instead of arbitrarily memorizing things, look for the explanation that makes it obvious.

"We work hard, play hard" sounds terribly unhealthy. I think we would all be a lot healthier, happier and find greater balance in our lives if we learn to work smart and play always. #worksmartplayalways
