Koan: "I have spent my life trying to understand my existence. We had this luck to live at a time when science can teach us so much. You and I have this one life. And we were lucky to live in a country at peace and where we can access a great education.

So I have dedicated my life to two things:

One, is understanding as much as I can. Quantum physics is my passion now.

Two, is to do as much good as I can. I do not try to intellectualize either one.

I look back over my life and feel lucky I was able to understand those two things. I have two daughters whom I was always encouraging to learn. They went to fine universities, and have great compassion.

I feel I will leave the earth a better place than I found it; and I feel my daughters will do the same.

That is enough for me.


SHE SURELY DOES TALK A LOT LIKE YOU, MR. KOAN!

"Man cannot properly live with indecision. He must decide what his values are and why, and then what purpose he wants to pursue. When he has chosen a central purpose, that will give him the lead by which he can organize his whole hierarchy of values. Without that central purpose integrating his values, he can neither be happy nor know what will make him happy"
