“The more you know, the more you know you don’t”
Đường vào Khoa học của tôi (My Path into Science), inspirational stories from Prof Tôn Thất Tùng, a Vietnamese hero
I believe that an avid reader lives a thousand lives. Here are my reviews of some captivating titles:
- Book review, The Strategy of Preventive Medicine, Professor Geoffrey RoseOn the World Epidemiology Day, I enjoyed a book entitled “The Strategy of Preventive Medicine”. This is the type of book I enjoy: health-related classics, written in layman’s terms.
- Book: “The Circle of Influence” – Focus on things you can control (Vietnamese below)“Why did the apple choose to fall on Newton’s head rather than any ordinary person’s?”
- Để sáng tạo, bạn không cần phải thông minh kiệt xuấtCái khó của sáng tạo nằm ở chỗ phải đặt một chân vào cái cũ, và đặt chân kia vào cái mới. Tư duy phân nhánh là chìa khoá để sáng tạo.
- “Chúng ta đi qua đời này bằng những chiếc lốp vá, đời ai chẳng vài lần dính đinh.”“Chúng ta đi qua đời này bằng những chiếc lốp vá, đời ai chẳng vài lần dính đinh – Muốn yêu thương chân thành, chớ bỏ qua từng điều nhỏ bé”
- Toán học & tình yêu: Phải gặp bao nhiêu người thì mới tìm được chân ái?“A – trẻ tuổi, độc thân – đến dự một bữa tiệc với sự có mặt của 100 phụ nữ xinh đẹp. A chỉ có cơ hội cho một lượt nói chuyện duy nhất với mỗi người. A cần bắt chuyện với bao nhiêu người để tìm được người phù hợp nhất với mình?”
