Q1 Canyou tell an example for-“Don't Be Foolish”:
G= The fox replied, "It had no brain, my king. If ithad one, it wouldn't have
come back to you after you hurt it!" The Lionthought for a moment and said,
"That is very true."
KR: Paramartha guru and four sishyas are stories revealing the
foolishnessof the Guru and 1234 sishyas. And quite a lot of stories are there.
One such isa monkey and 2 cats.
Two Cats and A Monkey - An Animal Story with aMoral
Once upon a time, two cats used to live in a village. Theywere good friends and
both used to live very lovingly with each other.
One day both the cats became very hungry while playing.They saw a piece of
bread at some distance. They started fighting over that bread. One cat said,” I
found it firstso it is mine.” The other cat was saying the same thing.
The first cat took two pieces of bread and extended onepiece toward the second
cat. Seeing this, the other cat said again, "Whatis this, you gave me a small
piece. That is wrong.
A monkey on the tree was saw them fighting over the breadand wanted to eat that
bread too. He said,’’ Why are you quarreling? I can helpyou because I have a
scale which can divide the bread into equal amounts.”
Both cats liked the monkeys’ advice. The monkey climbedthe tree and brought the
scale. He put both the pieces in a pan. Hedeliberately divided the bread into
unequal amounts and said, "Hey, thispiece is big, let's make both equal after
saying this, he ate a little bit fromthe big piece and ate it.
In this way, every time the scale became heavy, he broke alittle bread from
that side and started putting it in his mouth. Both the catswere now terrified.
She still quietly waited for the monkey's decision as theydid not want to give
each other more amount of bread.
At last small pieces of bread were in pans of the scale.The monkey said, " As
you have seen that I have done the hard work ofdividing bread with my scale so
I must get the wages of my hard work”. He atethe rest of the pieces of bread.
The poor cats went on empty stomachs fromthere.
Both the cats had realized their mistake and felt thatothers could take
advantage of their weakness.

Q2 Canyou expand-“A father and a son, two generations of scientists
who havesucceeded each other, both winners of the Nobel Prize”.
KR: The rightanswer for expansion could only be a story like this:” In
aquiet, prestigious town filled with ivy-clad buildings and vast
libraries,there lived a family whose legacy was as remarkable as the
discoveries they hadmade. A father and a son—two generations of brilliant
scientists who had shapedthe course of modern science. Their names were etched
into history, both havingbeen honoured with the Nobel Prize, but their story
was much more than justaccolades.
The father, Professor Rajiv Sharma, was a pioneer in thefield of quantum
physics. In the early 1980s, his groundbreaking work on theinteraction between
light and matter had opened new doors for technology,influencing everything
from the development of lasers to the understanding ofatomic behaviour. His
ability to push the boundaries of what was known made hima legend in the
scientific community. He was a man of quiet intensity, alwayssurrounded by
books, papers, and chalkboards filled with equations. But thosewho knew him
best saw the warmth in his eyes when he spoke of his family,especially his son,
Arjun.
Arjun had grown up in the shadow of his father'sbrilliance. As a boy, he would
spend hours in his father's study, mesmerized bythe notes and journals, trying
to understand the complex concepts that filledthe pages. The relationship
between them was one of both reverence andchallenge. Rajiv never pushed his son
to follow in his footsteps, but Arjun’scuriosity and drive led him down the
same scientific path, eventually leadingto his own monumental breakthrough.
Arjun’s work in genetic engineering transformed the fieldof medicine. He
developed a revolutionary gene-editing technique that allowedscientists to
correct genetic disorders with unprecedented precision. Hiscontribution saved
countless lives and created new opportunities for medicalresearch, earning him
the Nobel Prize in Medicine just a few decades after hisfather’s triumph.
The day Arjun received his prize, it was not just apersonal victory but a
culmination of their shared journey. When he stood onthe stage to accept the
prestigious award, he turned to the audience and spokeof his father’s
influence: “This is not just my achievement. This is the resultof years of
collaboration, both silent and spoken, with a man whose brillianceand
dedication shaped every step I’ve taken.”
Rajiv, now a quiet figure in his later years, watched hisson with pride,
knowing that their combined legacy would leave an indeliblemark on the world.
What made their story truly special was not just theirshared success, but the
way in which their lives intertwined—the lessonslearned from each other, the
long nights spent discussing ideas, and themoments of discovery that were
shared as a father and son, rather than just twogreat minds.
Though their fields of expertise were different—oneexploring the mysteries of
the universe, the other the building blocks oflife—their work complemented each
other in a way that no one could havepredicted. And so, their names became
synonymous with innovation and progress,a symbol of how two generations could
come together through science to changethe world.
The father and son, now both Nobel laureates, continued toteach, inspire, and
collaborate, knowing that their discoveries would live onin the minds and
hearts of future generations.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Had the question been father and son wining Nobel listthen given answer is OK.
1 William Henry Bragg & Lawrence Bragg (1915, Physics)
2 Niels Bohr & AageBohr (1922, 1975, Physics)
3 Manne Siegbahn &Kai Siegbahn (1924, 1981, Physics)
4 Hansvon Euler-Chelpin & Ulf von Euler (1929, 1970, Chemistry & Medicine)
5 Arthur Kornberg & Roger Kornberg (1959, 2006,Medicine & Chemistry)
These are the only father-son duos to have both receivedNobel Prizes in
different or the same fields.

Q3 Can you tell an exampleabout the “essence of teaching”
If a teacher corrects a student in a way that humiliatesthem, it shows a lack
of true teaching ability. Good teachers should correctmistakes in a way that
helps students learn and grow, rather than making themfeel ashamed or
discouraged. In short, humiliation damages learning, whileencouragement fosters
growth. Would you like an example to illustrate this? 😊
Example: A Student Makes a Math Mistake
A student is solving a problem on the board:
Problem:
5×3=?
Student’s Answer: "15" (Correct)
But later, they solve another problem incorrectly:
Problem:
6×4=?
Student’s Answer: "22" (Incorrect)
❌Humiliating Correction (Bad Teaching)
🔴Teacher: "Wow! You don’t even know simple multiplication? That’sembarrassing.
How do you expect to pass?"
Effect: The student feels ashamed, discouraged, and afraidto participate again.
✅Constructive Correction (Good Teaching)
🟢Teacher: "Almost there! I see you're trying. Let’s break it down: If 6times 2
is 12, what happens when we double it?"
Effect: The student feels supported, encouraged, andmotivated to try again.
NOT ONLY SCHOOL ANYINSTITUTION
Example: Employee Makes a Mistake in a Report
An employee submits a financial report, but there’s anerror in the calculations.
❌Humiliating Correction (Bad Leadership)
🔴Manager: "This report is a mess! How could you make such a basic mistake?Do
you even know how to use Excel?"
Effect: The employee feels embarrassed, demotivated, andafraid to take
initiative in the future.
✅Constructive Correction (Good Leadership)
🟢Manager: "I noticed a small miscalculation in the report. No worries,mistakes
happen! Let’s go through it together so you can catch it next time.Have you
tried using Excel formulas to double-check your totals?"
Effect: The employee feels supported, confident, andmotivated to improve.
Example: A ChildSpills Milk While Trying to Pour It
A young child is trying to pour milk into a cup but spillssome on the table.
❌Humiliating Correction (Bad Parenting)
🔴Parent: "Ugh! You’re so clumsy! You always make a mess. Just let me doit!"
Effect: The child feels ashamed, afraid to try new things,and loses confidence
in their abilities.
✅Constructive Correction (Good Parenting)
🟢Parent: "Oops! That happens sometimes. Let’s grab a cloth and clean it
uptogether. Next time, try holding the carton with both hands—it gives you
morecontrol!"
Effect: The child feels encouraged, learns from themistake, and gains
confidence to try again.
Example: A Young Basketball Player Misses a Crucial Shot
During a practice game, a player takes a shot but missesan easy basket.
❌Humiliating Correction (Bad Coaching)
🔴Coach: "That was terrible! How could you miss such an easy shot? You’renever
going to improve if you keep playing like this!"
Effect: The player feels embarrassed, loses confidence,and becomes afraid to
take shots in the future.
✅Constructive Correction (Good Coaching)
🟢Coach: "Almost! That was a good attempt. Next time, try keeping your
elbowstraight and follow through with your wrist. Let’s practice that motion a
fewmore times."
Effect: The player feels motivated, learns from themistake, and improves their
technique instead of fearing failure.

Q4 Whatis the most useless fact you know?
A4 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, Willing responder to survey
questions22h-----Andnow tell me what you are going to do knowing all this.
KR: Exactly thisis WHAT I AM WRITING ; QUESTIONS LIKE THESE IN QUORA BEING
WRITTEN HEREREPEATEDLY WHICH IS USELESS TO THE GROUPS;F VISWANATH TELSS IT IS
REPRODUCEDBUT…….
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Q5 Whether Albert Einstein was mistaken for an electrician at any
time?
KR This is whatViswanath said in the previous question as I wrote. There
are many stories offiction rather than the truth in the web sites but reporting
all as it appearsin Quora or FB, means spreading a rumour.
The story ofEinstein being mistaken for an electrician is more of an anecdote
than awell-documented fact. While it has been repeated in variousplaces, there
is no concrete historical evidence toconfirm that it actually happened. There
is no verified historical record ofEinstein being mistaken for an electrician.
However, it fits his image as aneccentric genius, which is why it has been told
and retold. It’s likely more of a legend or humorousexaggeration than a true
event.
SOME MORE STORIES WHICH WILL BE RELEASED, LIKELY TO BERELEASED IN FUTURE WHICHA
RE ALL ONLY FAKE.
1. Einstein and the Sailboat Mishap
Einstein loved sailing, but the funny part? He wasterrible at it!
He often sailed in Princeton Lake (New Jersey) but neverlearned to swim.
He frequently capsized his boat and had to be rescued bylocals.
Despite his poor sailing skills, he enjoyed the peace ofthe water, calling it a
great place to think about physics.
2. The Mismatched Shoes Incident
Einstein wasn’t very concerned about fashion orappearance.
One day, he showed up to an event wearing one brown shoeand one black shoe.
Someone pointed it out, and Einstein laughed and said,"At least they are both
for the same foot!"
He often wore no socks because he found them unnecessary.
Bonus: Einstein’s Forgotten Key
He was so deep in thought that he once locked himself outof his own house and
had to ask a neighbor for help.
He was famously absent-minded, forgetting his address,appointments, and even
where he put his keys!

Interesting QA – Compiled from Quora QA
Q1 Can you tell an example for-“Don't Be Foolish”:
A1 Jiva Cargo, Jan 25
Once, a hungry Lion told the fox, "Get me something to eat, or I will eat you!"
The fox went to a donkey and said, "The Lion wants to make you a king, come
with me."
When the Lion saw the donkey, he attacked, biting off its ears, but the donkey
ran away. The donkey told the fox, "You tricked me! The Lion tried to kill me!"
The fox replied, "Don’t be silly! He took your ears so you could wear a crown!
Let’s go back." The donkey thought this made sense, so it followed the fox
again.
This time, the Lion attacked the donkey and bit off its tail! The donkey
escaped again, saying to the fox, "You were lying! The Lion cut off my tail!"
The fox said, "He just wants you to sit comfortably on the throne! Come back
with me."
The fox convinced the donkey to return once more. The Lion then caught the
donkey and killed it. The Lion said to the fox, "Good job bringing back the
donkey. Now, skin it for me and bring its brains, lungs, liver, and heart!"
The fox skinned the donkey and ate its brain but brought back its lungs, liver,
and heart to the Lion. The Lion got angry and asked, "Where is its brain?!"
The fox replied, "It had no brain, my king. If it had one, it wouldn't have
come back to you after you hurt it!"
The Lion thought for a moment and said, "That is very true."
Q2 Can you expand-“A father and a son, two generations of scientists
who have succeeded each other, both winners of the Nobel Prize”.
A2 Nick104,19h
In the photo Niels Bohr, who made fundamental contributions to the
understanding of atomic structure (famous is the Atomic Model that bears his
name) as well as being one of the fathers of quantum theory, winner in 1922
"for his services in investigations of the structure of atoms and of radiation
emanating from them", who watches his son Aage doing calculations. Aage won the
Nobel, shared with Ben Mottelson and Leo Rainwater, fifty-three years after his
father, in 1975.
Since it was first awarded, in 1901, the Nobel has been won by seven
parent-child pairs.
The other winners are:
Marie with Pierre and Irène Joliot-Curie.
William and Lawrence Bragg, who shared the Prize for Physics in 1915
Arthur and Roger David Kornberg,
Hans von Euler-Chelpin and Ulf von Euler
Manne and Kai M. Siegbahn
J.J. and George Paget Thomson
Q3 Can you tell an example about the “essence of teaching”
A3 Richard Strachan, 2y
A young man meets an old man and asks him:
- Do you remember me?And the old man says NO.
Then the young man says that he was his student.
And the teacher asks:- What are you doing, what do you do for a living?
The young man responds:- Well, I became a teacher.
Oh, good, like me? - said the old man
- Yes. Actually, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.
The old man, curious, asks the young man what moment inspired him to become a
teacher.
And the young man tells the following story:
- One day, a friend of mine, also a student, arrived with a beautiful new
watch, and I decided I wanted it for myself and I stole it, took it out of his
pocket. Soon after, my friend noticed the theft and immediately complained to
our teacher, who was you. So, you stopped the class and said:
- Your friend's watch was stolen during class today. Whoever stole it, return
it.
- I didn't return it because I didn't want to.
So you closed the door and told us all to get up and you were going to rummage
through our pockets until we found the watch. But, he told us to close our
eyes, because he would only look if we all had our eyes closed.
So we did, and you went from pocket to pocket, and when you got to mine, you
found the watch and took it.
You kept looking for everyone's pockets and when you said: - "Open your eyes.
We already have the watch."
You didn't tell me anything and you never mentioned the episode. You never said
who stole the watch. That day, you saved my dignity forever.
It was the most shameful day of my life.
But it was also the day my dignity was saved from becoming a thief, a bad
person, etc. You never said anything to me, and even though you didn't scold me
or call my attention to give me a moral lesson, I got the message clearly.
And thanks to you, I understood that this is what a true educator should do. Do
you remember that episode, professor?
And the teacher replies:- "I remember the situation, the stolen watch, which I
was looking for in everyone, but I don't remember you, because I also closed my
eyes while looking."
*******
This is the essence of teaching:If to correct you need to humiliate; you don't
know how to teach.
Q4 What is the most useless fact you know?
A4 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, Willing responder to survey questions22h
Why just one? Here are a few useless facts I know that have benefited me not
one bit! I have made no money at all knowing all this.
Kangaroos can't walk backwards.
Their muscular tail and unique leg structure prevent them from moving in
reverse.
Butterflies can taste with their feet.
Their taste sensors are on their legs, so they “stand” on plants to know if
they’re good to eat.
A group of flamingos is called a "flamboyance”.
You can’t hum while holding your nose. (Did you try it?)
Octopuses have three hearts.
Two of them pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body.
The color of the blood is Blue!
A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.
Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once but only 225 Earth days to orbit the
Sun.
And now tell me what you are going to do knowing all this.
Q5 Whether Albert Einstein was mistaken for an electrician at any
time?
A5 Alessandro13,19h
Yes .When he moved to Princeton, Albert Einstein was mistaken for an
electrician because of his unkempt hair.
He was then asked to fix the contacts of a light bulb socket.
A natural joker, Einstein played along and did not reveal his true identity
until he had made the repair, thus causing great embarrassment among the staff
at the university center.
And that was not the first time he had fun playing with role reversals.
He had already done it years before when he was not yet very well known.
His theories had just begun to spread around the world (especially after the
first experimental confirmation of general relativity, obtained with the
observation of a total eclipse of the Sun in 1919), and for this reason he
began to receive numerous invitations to give conferences.However, his image
was not yet public knowledge and few were able to recognize him.
During one of those trips, one night while he was driving to a little-known
location in the United States, he confided his tiredness to the driver.
The latter (a man who physically resembled Einstein) confided in him:"I've
heard you speak so many times, sir, that I bet I can replace you without anyone
noticing."
The father of relativity hesitated for a moment but then immediately accepted
the proposal, thinking that as an idea it was not a bad one.
When they arrived at the conference venue, Einstein let the driver go ahead and
sat in the last seats, at the back of the large room.
Everything went wonderfully, no one noticed the formidable set-up and the
driver did very well, even answering some rather technical questions.
Until someone in the audience, a rather self-important university professor,
stood up and asked a tricky question (which concerned the physics of
antiparticles).
The real Einstein decided to stand up and confess to the audience in the room
the little scam, convinced that his American driver would not be able to answer.
But the latter, after a few seconds of confusion, not at all embarrassed and
hesitant, preceded him by saying:"I am surprised at you, professor, the answer
to your question is so easy that even my driver sitting over there could
provide it... and in fact he will provide it".
Einstein rushed to answer and when they were out of the room he laughed out
loud with the driver, complimenting him on his truly brilliant idea.
If this little story is true, and it probably isn't since there is another
similar and equally legendary one going around featuring the German physicist
Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, there is no doubt that the
conference given by the driver was impeccable, but it undoubtedly constituted
the glittering surface of a completely empty sphere.Anyone, if properly
trained, is able to give a conference on a pre-established topic of physics,
chemistry, neuroscience, finance or any other subject.
But it is still a vaudeville skill, typical of someone who passively and
uncritically follows a script, ignoring its meaning and implications, a barroom
knowledge or, better, as psychologists call it, a "chauffeur's knowledge".
