As an aside, if you have not read it, you should chew through "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!"[1].

It's a fun read, and really gives you an insight into both Feynman's life, and they way that he approached solving problems and teaching others. I have gotten massive leverage from "if you can't explain it to a five-year-old, you don't really understand it" as a learning and coaching tool (a.k.a. "The Feynman Technique")
