One of the first interesting experiences I had in this project at Princeton was meeting great men. I had never met very many great men before. But there was an evaluation committee that had to try to help us along, and help us ultimately decide which way we were going to separate the uranium. This committee had men like Compton and Tolman and Smyth and Urey and Rabi and Oppenheimer on it. I would sit in because I understood the theory of how our process of separating isotopes worked, and so they'd ask me questions and talk about it. In these discussions one man would make a point. Then Compton, for example, would explain a different point of view. He would say it should be this way, and he was perfectly right. Another guy would say, well, maybe, but there's this other possibility we have to consider against it.
So everybody is disagreeing, all around the table. I am surprised and disturbed that Compton doesn't repeat and emphasize his point. Finally at the end, Tolman, who's the chairman, would say, "Well, having heard all these arguments, I guess it's true that Compton's argument is the best of all, and now we have to go ahead."
It was such a shock to me to see that a committee of men could present a whole lot of ideas, each one thinking of a new facet, while remembering what the other fella said, so that, at the end, the decision is made as to which idea was the best -- summing it all up -- without having to say it three times. These were very great men indeed.

من كانت الدّنيا همَّه فرق اللهُ عليه أمرَه وجعل فقرَه بين عينَيه ولم يأتِه من الدنيا إلَّا ما كُتِب له .. ومن كانت الآخرةُ نيته جمع اللهُ له أمره وجعل غناه في قلبِه … وأتته الدُّنيا وهي راغمةٌ
وَإِن يُرِدك بخيرٍ فلا رادَّ لِفضله
إذا أراد الله لك خيرًا فلا تخشى ما فات ولا ما تعسّر ولا من أغلق بابه.. ما كتبه الله لك سيأتيك ولو بعد حين، ومن حيث لا تحتسب
﴿وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا﴾

@Florist_Ha أسهل شيء يسويه الانسان هنا بث الرعب والتخويف في قلوب الناس مثلهم مثل (الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْفَحْشَاءِ). عجبي وحنا مسلمين ونؤمن أن الرازق واحد وأن السعي والتوكل مطلب
@moonncchiId ليه التظليل بنقل الموضوع والكذب. هي تشتغل بنفس الشركة اللي هي ey بفرعها بشيكاغو ونقلت الى فرع الرياض. وهذا يحصل وطبيعي جداً بأي شركة بالعالم. كفاية تخويف الباحثين عن العمل بأن مالهم فرصة الانسان يسعى ويدعي ربه كما رزقهم يرزقه بالافضل
وذلك من حكمة الله وعدله ليبقى العبد مفتقرًا إليه وراجعًا إليه ليعتبر ويتّعظ ولا يغتر بطول الأمل ولا يحمل نفسه ما لا تطيق. فنحن بين الخوف والرجاء؛ فلا نقنط من رحمته ولا نغفل عن نعمته
