“It is to be emphasized that no matter how many [amplitude] arrows we draw, add, or multiply, our objective is to calculate a single final arrow for the event . Mistakes are often made by physics students at first because they do not keep this important point in mind. They work for so long analyzing events involving a single photon that they begin to think that the arrow is somehow associated with the photon [rather than with the event].” ThinkingMindFirstsLongMadeImportantMatterMistakeEventsStudentsDrawsAddFinalsPhysicsObjectivesArrowsInvolvingAnalyzingPhotons Book:QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter Source: QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter
“I didn't know I was depressed until years later. Actually, I went to the Minirth-Meier Clinic for ADD. I got tested for ADD. So, that's nice. It's nice to know you got ADD. So, that puts you on medication. Did that for years. Then got tested for clinical depression. So, finally when they tell you this, you go, 'ahhh, this is great.'

“Intentional living is the bridge to significance. At the end of every year, I take time out to reflect and evaluate the events of the previous year - what went well and what needed improvement. From that inventory, I lay out my next year - how I intend to live, make the best use of time and maximize adding value to others. Success asks, 'How can I add value to myself?' Significance asks, 'How can I add value to others?' It is your intention that lends itself to significance.” YearsWellsEndsUseValuesNextAsksEventsNeededLaysAddIntentionImprovementBridgesSignificanceTake TimeNext YearEvaluateInventoryUse Of TimeAdding ValuePrevious Years Author:John C.
