1. The document discusses learning, productivity, and doing significant work. It quotes Richard Hamming saying the more you learn, the more you can do and productivity increases like compound interest. 2. Another Richard Hamming quote says scientists have courage to work on important problems and think they can succeed, which allows them to achieve great things. 3. The document discusses Project Ginsberg, which aims to tackle mental health issues like stress and depression using new digital technologies and helping people cope rather than cure their problems.

7. Three Points
1. The more you learn, the more you know and
the more you can do
2. Do something significant
3. Have the courage to follow your convictions

8. ``Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.'' Given two people
of approximately the same ability and one person who works ten percent
more than the other, the latter will more than twice out-produce the former.
The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you
can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunity - it is very much like
compound interest.
Richard Hamming

9. Alex Ferguson
David Beckham is Britain’s finest striker of a football
not because of God-given talent but because he
practises with a relentless application that the vast
majority of less talented players wouldn’t contemplate

16. Our society frowns on people who set out to do really good work.
You're not supposed to; luck is supposed to descend on you and you
do great things by chance. Well, that's a kind of dumb thing to say.I
say, why shouldn't you set out to do something significant. You don't
have to tell other people, but shouldn't you say to yourself, ``Yes, I
would like to do something significant.''

25. As far as I’m concerned, gone are the days of the
proprietary Leapfrog device, at the forefront of educational
games is TigerFace Games.
The players are asked to make math problems, work together
collaboratively, and then earn extra points by challenging themselves and
each other to make harder equations. That's pretty brilliant if you think about
it: it means that my older kids can challenge themselves, while my my younger
son can still stay in the game. We need more apps like that.

30. One of the characteristics of successful scientists is having
courage. Once you get your courage up and believe that you can
do important problems, then you can. If you think you
can't, almost surely you are not going to.
They will go forward under incredible circumstances; they think
and continue to think.

33. PROJECT GINSBERG
Delivering mental health services using new technologies.
Project Ginsberg is about tackling common mental health problems.

34. WHO?
People that feel stressed, anxiety, depression, overworked, unhealthy or
lonely.
Often don’t want to talk about their problems.

35. DESIGN CHALLENGES
Population is very diverse. People aren’t depressed ‘ALL’ the time.
Feels like things just have to be the way they are.

36. HELPING PEOPLE TO COPE, NOT
CURE
No one can ‘cure’ depression. But you can learn to manage it or get better.
It’s about finding ways to cope better.

37. DIGITAL != INTERACTIVE
Currently, digital is a leaflet … online. Need to move on from this.
What does that look like? IM? Text? Facebook? Twitter?

38. THE INTERNET CHANGES EVERYTHING
People are looking for help on the internet. Need to be there at the right place.
How do you help people cope better?

40. In summary, I claim that some of the reasons why so many people who have
greatness within their grasp don't succeed are: they don't work on important
problems, they don't become emotionally involved, they don't try and
change what is difficult to some other situation which is easily done but is
still important, and they keep giving themselves alibis why they don't. They
keep saying that it is a matter of luck. I've told you how easy it is; furthermore
I've told you how to reform. Therefore, go forth and become great scientists!
Richard Hamming
