Definitely my favourite quote is this one “We are all time travelers, journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Be brave. Be determined. Overcome the odds.”
I think that this quote is one of the most powerful ones that I’ve ever read. First of all it reminds about the travel that all the humanity is taking to the future. He includes the issue about taking care of our planet too, so the Earth would be the place that we wanted to be if we could live forever.
Stephen Hawking perfectly ends the quote with such a powerful message, a message about the strength that we need to have to overcome all the problems that life holds.
To sum up, he is capable to share a great amount of positivity but at the same time, sense and knowledge.
My favourite quote from Stephen Hawking a brilliant, complex man and scientist is “We are all the time travelers, journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Be Brave. Be determined. Overcome the odds”.
Before anything else, Stephen Hawking motivated a generation of science addicts for over three decades. He also influenced and inspired people withs this quotes to study and to think about the difficult mysteries and share his passion for learning about the world around us.
I liked this phrase a lot for its courage, and above all, when it says that to obtain a future, that we want we must work all citizens together to advise a future , and a world that we want.
My favourite quote from Stephen Hawking, is this one “I am very aware of the preciousness of time. Seize the moment. Act now”
I think that this quote is one of the most beautiful said by Stephen and I think that because I think he’s absolutely right because the time passes too fast, and life is too beautiful, and I think like him, we should take advantage and enjoy more of the good and bad moments.
I also believe that everyone should think like him, in this way the world would be better.
Even I really like all the quotes Stephen Hawking said, my favourite is ”I have been enormously privileged through my work to be able to contribute to our understanding of the universe. But it would be an empty universe indeed if it were not for the people I loved and who loved me. ”
I think that this quote really express how determined he was to let the people know what he had discovered about the universe, an information that has been very important for the science. Adding that he faced all his life with an issue, he was greatful for being able to contribute to that understanding of the universe.
I really like how he express that if it was not for the people who loved him and who he love, it couldn’t have been possible this to happen.
To sum up, I think he was a great example of positivism and encouragement, because despite he had to live with an issue most of his life and had to talk by a special computer, he never gave up on what was he interested in and he put his family love first because as he said, it would be an empty universe if it weren’t for those he loved and loved him.
My favourite quote is the second one, “We are all time travelers, journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Be brave. Be determined. Overcome the odds.”
I think that this quote express something so important as it is that all the people is trying to be in this planet in a future, but this future will come if we help and work together to take care about our planet.
Also, this quote has a powerful message that is it that all the people should fight in this life and don’t let your problems beat you.
To sum up, I think that he is a clear example of someone who hasn’t let his problems stop his life, and he also has fight to move on and become the man that he was.
“I am very aware of the preciousness of time. Seize the moment. Act now” is my favourite quote of Stephen Hawking.
In my opinion it is a quote that reflects his philosophy of life, he said that we have to enjoy every moment of our lifes. We have to know how to value good times and forget about bad ones, because life is too short to not enjoy it.
I think he was a wonderful person apart from being a great scientist, that’s why there are many people who admire him.
My favourite quote of Stephen Hawking is “I have been enormously privileged through my work to be able to contribute to our understanding of the universe but it would be an empty universe indeed if it were not for the people I loved and who loved me”
Because this quote talks about the importance of the people who you apreciate and love, Stephen with this quote says that at least our lives and our world is indeed conformed by the important people for us.
My favorite quote of this video is: “I have been enormously privileged through my work to be able to contribute to our understanding of the universe. But it would be an empty universe indeed if it were not for the people I love and who love me”
I think that this quote do a great sum up the life of Stephen Hawking because although he was a man with dificults to comunicate and live with autonomy, he never leaved his dream. This is a very important aspect because it shows the spirit of overcoming.
To sump up, Stephen Hawking was a strong man and admired for his work. Was a man that never be forgotten.
