SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry or any other science? What are their special meyhods of thinking and acting? What qualities do we usually expect them to possess?
To begin with, we expect a successful scientist to be full of curiosity – he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for the underlying relationships even if the data to be analysed are not apparently interrelated. He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective. Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows man to be the least reliable of scientific instruments.
And to conclude, he is to be highly imaginative since he often looks for data which are not only complex, but also incomplete.

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE
Someone with a twinkle in his eye once said: “There are two kinds of people in the world: those who always divide the people of the world into two kinds, and those who do not.”
We live in a world of great diversity. For example, people do not come in two varieties: either good-looking or ugly. If we line up a large group of people and arrange them according to degrees of homeliness and comeliness, we will have at one end of the line those who “look terribly ugly”. Next to them will be those who are “just plain ugly.” Then the ones whom we call “unattractive”. Then “so-so”, then pretty then “wow”!
We can’t just fold humanity down the middle like a sheet of paper and have all the handsome ones on one side and those we call “ugly” on the other. Even those we call “ugly” are not without traces of beauty, and vice versa.
Actor Wallace Beery said, “Most screen characters are either very good or very bad, a fact that often disturbs an actor as much as it does an intelligent observer. For no man is completely made from one piece of cloth, all good or all bad, all cruel or all tender. Instead, each person is a mixture of many things.”
