Story of Richard hamming:
Richard hamming used to work at Bell labs, where he would befriend someone new in the cafeteria and talk to them about their field.
The next day he would ask them about the most prominent and important problems in their field.
And in the third day he would ask, “why aren’t you working on the most important problem?”
On day 4 he would have to find a new friend to annoy at lunch time.
He inspires us to ask each other, “what is the most important problem in your life?” and “why aren’t you working on it?”
This works great as an answer!
