My students wrote 6-word memoirs in class today. It’s a fun activity to practice concision, so I joined in. When finished, I wrote mine on the board: “That beautiful stranger loved me once.”
Students gasped. One said, “It’s wild how words make you feel things.”
C’mon teaching!
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music.”

Some admirable things to do:
- Admit mistakes when you're wrong
- Challenge beliefs when presented with new evidence
- Practice becoming aware of personal biases
- Say "I don't know" if you don't know
- Approach complex topics with humility
- Respect expertise
