Not so obvious

June 12, 2015
Everything you’ve learned in school as “obvious” becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There’s not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
-- Buckminster Fuller

Optimistic or pessimistic

June 10, 2015
I am not optimistic or pessimistic. I feel that optimism and pessimism are very unbalanced. I am a very hard engineer. I am a mechanic. I am a sailor. I am an air pilot. I don’t tell people I can get you across the ocean with my ship unless I know what I’m talking about.
-- Buckminster Fuller

One of a kind

June 9, 2015
Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.
-- Buckminster Fuller

Never think of beauty

June 8, 2015
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty… but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Change things

June 8, 2015
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
