The Pleasure of Finding Things Out-Richard Feynman

In this interview of Richard Feyman he speaks all about the huge difference between simply knowing something by its name and really knowing it by how it functions. He gives the example of when he was young and someone asked him what the name of a certain bird was but he didn't know the name. They teased him about his father teaching him so much but he didn't know the name of the bird. His father told his the name in many different languages but explained to him that even though you can call the bird by it name in many different languages from different parts of the world you still don't truly know about the bird itself.
Feyman also spoke of how he does not research and discover now things for the recognition or for the glory. He simply does it for the pleasure of knowing and learning more. People learning from the work he has done is pleasing enough for him. He also admits that even though he knows a lot he still does not know everything. But he can live with doubt, uncertainty and not knowing because it is more interesting to live not knowing then to have answers that might not be true.
