altruism

I am reading one of those "self-help" books because I am interested on how to manage challenging projects. The book is called "7 habits of highly effective people", and up to now, the main message is to have high values and respect for life and other people's life. I guess translated to biological, evolutionary terms, this means of giving way to altruism, but not faked altruism to make "fast progress". Anyway, life is challenging for sure, even more so, if you try to involve with science.

Here a quote by Werner Heisenberg:

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."

(hmm..... designing a programming language that help us switch questions and models more easily, that is something I am thinking on lately.)
