Gone 20 years...and missed more every day. Hail Saint Richard! You weren't of this world.

[nhojmabon]

Feynman was ahead of his time

[TheFanwindow]

Good man. ^.^

The only true feeling of accomplishment is going to come from yourself, not other people. Though, I think it's respectful to accept any honors, rewards, or criticism you receive. I might not think it's worth much, but when people hand you a compliment, it's rude to criticize the gesture.

[valtih1978]

Feynman was ahead of his time = Communists were ahead. Yet, there is always lack of community rather than private benefit oriented people. The Nature is being destroyed by greed. People do businesses not because they are useful or Yet, glory is better than money. It is worth to praise the people who make good for mankind, fulfill its intellectual capability to unveil the secret of the Nature. Payed money, people are made free to do narrow-minded, stupid, antisocial things like buying things.

[GodTheHypothesis]

Lol, one of the smartest people who's ever lived and he thinks it was the Noble Prize rather than the Nobel Prize. I guess he genuinely didn't care about honours. A remarkably genuine person.

[nilbud]

It says you don't understand the nature of the prize.

[youngThrashbarg]

Honors bother me too, but I wouldn't mind the million dollars..

[pobinr]

That war monger Kissinger was honoured with a nobel peace prize. Says it all doesn't it.

[DameEdithDivine]

Thanks again. Worth watching more than once. 5*****!

[ColdChicago]

extraordinary in a culture, like the u.s.-where people spend their entire lives trying to get patted on the head. the work is its own reward, if you want more than that:you're not in it for much more than ego. which can be reason enough....
