if you would ask a nobel prize winner, what questions would you like to ask? this is the question that is posed at the beginning of this book....and in it, one can find many intrigue questions posed by young children...after reading this book ,i feel more knowlegeable ( haha ), and satisfied with the profound answers given by reknown nobel recipients...
the explanation was clear and concise, and answered in a humour and interactive manner...medicine,chemistry, mathematices, peace economics etc...are some of the genre of the questions asked...
what is love? by dalai lama
why does 1 + 1 = 2? by enrico bombieri
why are there boys and girls? by christiane Nusslein-Volhard
why are some people rich and others poor? by daniel L.Mc Fadden
an extract from dalai lama:
what is love? buddha, a monk who lived more than two thousand years ago, had a very simple answer: we all want to be happy. yet how do you become a happy person? many people believe that they have achieved it once they are rich or famous or have as much power as possible. however they often realise later on that life, evern with lots of money and luxury, is till meaningless and empty as before. Buddha's recipe for happiness is sunningly simple: try to become a good person...
it all starts in your own head.you have to change your attitude, your way of thinking;to do right and avoid wrong.we were not birn into the world to harm others.only by meeting every person with a warm heart and in friendship does our life have a meaning. that is the foundation of my philosophy. the key to everything is love. but what is it, this thing we call' love'?...and on...
there are many wonderful answers given for other questions that are simple yet demand good response...such as the 1 + 1 = 2 theory...hee...i enjoyed this book very much...

before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak before you complain about your food think of someone who has nothing to eat before you complain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven before you argue about cleaning your house think of the people who are living in the streets before whining about the distance driving to school think of someone who has to walk the same distance before complaining about your job think of the unemplyed desperate for work before you point finger or condemn another remember no humans is perfect when depressing thoughts seem to get you down thank all those around you who encourage you remember to give love always to others
