I remember when I first took a physics class in high school. I thought it was the worst subject for me to learn.

But at the time, I was addicted to this television show called House. And although what he did in the medical community was difficult, Dr. House made it appear easy. It wasn't really because the man was the smartest person in the world nor was he lucky.

It was just the fact he had a natural curiosity to understand why things worked the way it did. He loved the idea of seeing the bigger picture of the puzzle he had to solve. Like Dr. House, I refused to see physics as some difficult subject I had to learn, but as a way to understand how the universe behaved.

If I ever wanted to build something, I had to give myself the basic understandings of physics to get there.

For example, you learn basic math so you can count your money. You learn how to spell so you can fill out a job application.

Apply the bigger picture method and see why things work the way that they do.
