He said:""The Weight of the bottle, water & tray displaces less water than the Volume of the bottle, water and tray". , Patient problem-solving... Thinking slowly and thinking over time... If you come to an answer quickly spend some time thinking about the answer... Balanced with conclusion so you don't end up with analysis paralysis and never get an answer.

(IN YOUR WORDS)

1. Write down most important ideas presented by the author.

2. Write your opinion on the lecture. Do you agree with the author, why?   

Answer 1

I do agree with the fact that thinking is a good skill to have for people and it really helps them to rise above the others. It is not just the way of life but also how we look at things, the perspective that we apply and the speed at which we tend to just rise above all odds to better ourself at each phase. We learn to be patient, make things work and allow the right amount of energy to be chanelized. I just feel that the lecture could have been made more interactive in teh sense that things work better when people are engaged in a better manner.
