Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects, Every single one. Doesn’t matter where you go, you’d think it would be otherwise, but it isn’t. At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts. Everywhere on Earth. And in pretty much eve…
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done. But he with a chuckle replied that “Maybe it couldn’t” But he would be one who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin on his face If he worried he hid it, he started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn’t be done…
To enact meaningful change in anything, it takes everyone from every level of operation to perform their duty well and work together. A good example to draw from is the military, from the highest ranked general to the lowest ranked private, everyone has their own set of skills and responsibilities.…
Learning a new language is tricky, sometimes it’s hard to determine how much you’re progressing, or whether the methods you use to learn are actually effective or not. The point of learning a language is to understand what’s being said, and how to properly express yourself in return. Our brains are…
Talent is a pursued interest, in other words, anything you are willing to practice, you can do. -Bob Ross- What do you want to do in life? What are you good at?

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.

I discovered once more at Tipasa that one must keep intact in oneself a freshness, a cool well-spring of joy, love the day that escapes injustice, and return to combat having won that fight. Here I recaptured the old beauty, a young sky, And I measured my luck, realising at last that in the worst y…

The credit belongs to the man in the arena. Whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood Who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at the best, knows in the end the triumph…
“The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.” -Homer, The Iliad- I’ve been thinking a lot about change lately, and I’ve come to t…
I have a friend who’s an artist has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well He’ll hold up a flower and say “Look at how beautiful it is!” And I’ll agree, but then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful it is, but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes this du…
Electric Light Orchestra is one of my favorites bands of all time, I think they’re very underrated in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think they’ve ever had a bad album, and ELO has this particular musical style and sound signature that’s unmistakable. For today I’m going to talk about “Out of…
