JOULE, James Prescott (1818-89), British physicist, born in Salford, Lancashire, England. One of the outstand ing physicists of his day, Joule is best known for his research in electricity and thermodynamics. In the course of his investigations of the heat emitted in an electrical circuit, he formulated the law, now known as Joule's law, of electric heating, which states that the amount of heat produced each second in a conductor by a current of electricity is proportional to the resistance of the conductor and to the square of the current. Joule experimentally verified the law of conservation of energy in his study of the transfer of mechanical energy into heat energy. Using many independent methods, Joule determined the numerical relation between heat and mechanical energy, or the mechanical equivalent of heat. The unit of energy called the joule is named after him; it is equal to 1 watt-second, or 10 million ergs, or about 0.000948 British thermal unit. Together with the physicist William Thomson (later Baron Kelvin), Joule found that the temperature of a gas falls when it expands without doing any work. This principle, which became known as the Joule-Thomson effect, underlies the operation of common refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

1. Follow Your Curiosity. “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

2. Perseverance is Priceless. “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
Ketekunan adalah tak ternilai. “Bukan karena saya sangat cerdas, hanya saja karena saya tekun dalam permasalahan lebih lama.” 3. Focus on the Present. “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
Fokus pada masa kini. “Pria mana pun yang bisa menyetir dengan baik sambil mencium seorang gadis cantik sama sekali tidak memberikan perhatian yang layak terhadap ciumannya.”
4. The Imagination is Powerful. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
Imajinasi adalah kekuatan yang luar biasa. “Imajinasi adalah segalanya. Ini adalah preview dari kisah kehidupan yang akan datang. Imajinasi lebih penting daripada pengetahuan.”
5. Make Mistakes. “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
Buat banyak kesalahan. “Seseorang yang tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan tidak pernah mencoba sesuatu yang baru.”
6. Live in the Moment. “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
Jalani hidup saat ini. “Saya tidak pernah memikirkan masa depan- itu akan datang segera.”
7. Create Value. “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
Buat Nilai. “Berusahalah untuk tidak menjadi sukses, melainkan untuk menjadi bernilai.”
8. Don’t be Repetitive. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Jangan berulang-ulang. “Kegilaan adalah melakukan hal yang sama berulang-ulang dan mengharapkan hasil yang berbeda.”
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience. “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
Pengetahuan datang dari Pengalaman. “Informasi bukanlah pengetahuan. Satu-satunya sumber pengetahuan adalah pengalaman.”
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”
Pelajari aturan dan kemudian bermain lebih baik. “Anda harus belajar aturan permainan. Dan kemudian Anda harus bermain lebih baik dari orang lain.”
11. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
Jika anda tidak dapat menjelaskan secara sederhana, anda belum mengerti sepenuhnya dengan baik.
