They just elected me Mis Phonograph Record of 1966. They discovered my measurements were 33 12, 45, 78!
Tolle numerum omnibus rebus et omnia pereunt. Take from all things their number and all shall perish.
Too often we're happy to receive thanks from the nonprofits we fund, accepting gratitude instead of feedback or performance measurements.
The old story is a story of measurement. And the New Story is to bring measurement and meaning together. You cannot measure meaning.
We need to stop comparing ourselves to others, and stop patting ourselves on the back for attaining artificial measurements of spirituality. We need to take care that we do not think we are something we are not, or else we may deceive ourselves, setting ourselves up for rebuke in the future when we see Christ face to face
But mainly I learned, in approaching the measurement of new phenomena, not just to consider using existing apparatus but to allow the mind to wander freely and invent new ways of doing the job.
the leaders of globalization. . . have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure. . . They only measure money and the bottom line.
Any measurement must take into account the position of the observer. There is no such thing as measurement absolute, there is only measurement relative.
Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in infering that he is an inexact man. Every careful measurement in science is always given with the probable error. . . every observer admits that he is likely wrong, and knows about how much wrong he is likely to be.
It is much easier to make measurements than to know exactly what you are measuring
The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensiona l; the paper is static, flat. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on mere flatland?
Character shows itself apart from genius as a special thing. The first point of measurement of any man is that of quality.
Once in a rare while, somebody comes along who doesn't just raise the bar, they create an entirely new standard of measurement.
This is the thing I've noticed is that the greater the distance between you and any ordinary task is the measurement of how much rockstar potential you have.
You must set up measurement of results and celebrate small victories as you go along. I have observed that any creativity initiative gets about an eighteen-month grace period. If there aren't any tangible results in a year and a half, despite the strongest commitment, someone in the organization is going to start questioning the whole program.
A painstaking course in qualitative and quantitative analysis by John Wing gave me an appreciation of the need for, and beauty of, accurate measurement.
The experiment left no doubt that, as far as accuracy of measurement went, the resistance disappeared. At the same time, however, something unexpected occurred. The disappearance did not take place gradually but abruptly. From 1500 the resistance at 4. 2K, it could be established that the resistance had become less than a thousand-millionth part of that at normal temperature. Thus the mercury at 4. 2K has entered a new state, which, owing to its particular electrical properties, can be called the state of superconductivity.
I belong to those theoreticians who know by direct observation what it means to make a measurement. Methinks it were better if there were more of them.
Those who think 'Science is Measurement' should search Darwin's works for numbers and equations.
We compel the electron to assume a definite position. We ourselves produce the results of the measurement.
