Remembering the Master of Study of Universe Stephen Hawkins
The Stephen Hawkins, a man known for
his dedicated works in the study of Universe. For me, he is a motivational speaker who inspired
people to fight against the odds of life. When the doctors found the
degenerative motor disease, it was just two to three years maximum life
expectancy for him (according to doctors). But the destiny had other plans for
the great scientist of this century. He survived and emerged as a warrior in
his life. He dedicated his whole life to the study of functioning and laws of
Universe.
Here are the collections of some of
his inspiring thoughts which can inspire you all:
1) We
are Special:
“We are just an advanced breed of
monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the
Universe. That makes us something very special.”
2) Importance
of gaining correct Knowledge:
“The
greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.”
3) Be
curious to learn new things:
“It
surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space,
the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final
destination. It’s a crazy world out there. Be curious.”
4) Views about Religion and Science:
“There is a fundamental difference
between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on
observation and reason. Science will win because it works.”
5) Make the world constructive:
“I think
computer viruses should count as life ... I think it says something about human
nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive.
We have created life in our own image.”
6) Find Logic and Satisfaction in life:
“I have noticed that even those who
assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it
still look both ways before they cross the street.”
7) Don’t
be afraid to die, choose your decision wisely:
“I
am not afraid of death, but I am in no hurry to die.”
8) There are no Shortcuts in life, Follow
the safest route:
“If
time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?”
9) Think about Future:
“I don't think the human race will
survive the next thousand years unless we spread into space.”
10) Have
faith in God:
“You cannot understand the glories
of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.”
11) Prepared
for the future:
“If aliens ever visit us, I think
the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America,
which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”
12)
You are more than what you think:
“We only have to look at ourselves
to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to
meet”
13) It
is good to have hobbies:
“I
like physics, but I love cartoons.”
