the secret behind my profession..


I was struggling with a coupla derivations for an upcoming test. The mind was fresh from a good rest, but was being numbed and blunted by the seemingly devious 'which came first, hen or chicken ?' kind of assumptions that the proof was taking me through.

And it dawned on me all of a sudden ... the very basis of engineering, the whole secret behind centuries of debacles, so-called breakthroughs, progress ... everything.

That ...

"Engineering is the art of making assumptions that you CANNOT prove, but NOBODY else can disprove."

On the path to Self realisation ...
and a succesful career !! ...
