Pleasure of Finding Things Out

Richard Feynman always believes that one should enjoy science and apply it to his or her daily life. One should not do science because of an award or honor. First, interested in simple and silly event and apply science to it. Life will be more colorful and fun. His father seems to be a strong influence to his life and his principle. The same attitude, he is trying to share to his children. He applies science through daily life and finds its pleasure.

Prof. Feynman shares an excellent technique in teaching his children about science. He figures out that reading all the stuff from books is boring. He tries to spark the children interest by explaining the physic or chemistry through a make story in a game and showing the real example instead of pictures in a book. He also admits that some children might learn science difference way, such as his daughter. She learns science by listening to others reading from books and not a make-up story.

In real life, people only attract in something because of it physical appearance. If we look at amazing scenery, we only admit the physical appearance of the scene, maybe because of the amazing stream surrounding the hills or maybe because of the trees and the mountain. Have we ever stopped and thought? How it happened? Why? Or even apply science to explain the nature? If we do apply science to daily life because of pleasure, we will make a massive improvement to human knowledge.
