MY TODAY'S LESSONS IN LIFE

Just about to take my afternoon nap after the day stress, I observed two different groups of people gossiping or talking about the rumor about my personality of what I'll be, what I want to be, how I'll make it, what my aspirations are, when I'll be what and what I look up to be by God's grace, I discovered so many things which I called:

MY TODAY'S LESSONS IN LIFE

I learnt that:

+ Everyone is important in life, we should not treat people based on their present conditions because those we treated badly yesterday could be helpful to us tomorrow.

* When you are appointed as a leader don't lord it over the people you are leading, it is just a rare privilege to be a blessing and making an outstanding contributions in their lives through service.

+ To be a master over what we are doing, we must be committed to investing helpful and relevant materials there in order to generate maximum and lasting impact in life.

+ Quality impact cannot be made in life if our spiritual life is not strongly built on daily studying and doing God's word and giving ourselves to heartfelt and faith filled prayer.

+ Building the inner strength in God is the surest way to overcoming life challenges.

+ We have no audacity to be an impactful leader if we refuse to sit and learn from others, knowing fully that every rugged learners are relevant leaders and every committed readers are potential transformational leaders.

With this lessons, I extend it to you reading it now, "what lesson have you learnt today"?

Now, when someone aspires to be something in life or sees the possibility of becoming something in life and you try to pull or make ridicule or jest of the person, the fact is that, you are only making the person known more and that helps such person to be renown.

I (R.K Isaac) as a person, aspires to be that thing you can think of... Like some I published online e.g. VC, Lecturer, Teacher, Counselor, Public Speaker and all sort, no matter what comes my way, am gonna make it.

Wait a minute...

Do you think I say this thing to be proud or to boost pride in me... My dear.... NO!

I say them to inspire the reader of my daily article, that

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO YOUR SUCCESS PROVIDED YOU ASPIRE.

I am not a type that hears or see my shortcomings and will not find a solution to it, and by the grace of God, "I am what I am".

If I say I know it all... I know it all...

Why?

I am God's Image, therefore, I am His Son, and he has given me power to be what I am..

My beloved readers, if you limit yourself, you can't prosper, even if it's obvious you can't make it in life, see yourself to be a problem solver.

We read books everyday, be it textbooks, and the sort, we do come across formulas, these formulas are people's invention and innovation. Are they not people like you?

Common, wake up!

If you gossip, talk about someone, you are only wasting your time and remember, you can't regain such a time!

Let me now conclude....

No doubt I read anything that comes my way even out of my field of study, and here and there are some people who claims to be wise, strong, elderly and yet what they claim to be isn't in direct proportion to who they are! Isn't that superfluous and "mediocratical" in nature?

Oh what a generation of mediocres, how shall you be successful if all you know is to cast down and not look inward to correct your flaws.

Uhmmmm...... It's like am going too judgmental! But the truth is that, I see Nigeria as a state not a nation as Political Scientist put it, that we need "problem solvers"

Will you be a problem solver?

Is yes!

What's your move and plan?

My dear, I shall be publishing another article tonight stating the characteristics of a problem solver.

Good evening to you, beloved reader...

God bless you

THE WATER CYCLE AND OXYGEN CYCLE

THE WATER CYCLE AND OXYGEN CYCLE

The Water Cycle

As the sun shines on both the land and the seas, the land is heated up faster than the seas. Hot air rises over the land. This creates difference in air pressure between the land and the seas. A sea breeze results, blowing from the sea to the land, and carries a lot of water vapour with it.

As moisture containing air rises on land it cools, clouds form and condensation into water drops occurs. Other sources of water vapour which enter the clouds include:

1.  Water loss from the land by evaporation.

2.  Water loss by plants through transpiration and excretion.

The water drops formed by condensation of water vapour in the upper part of the atmosphere fall as rain. As rain falls, a part of it soaks into the ground and infiltrates downwards to the water table. Some of it is called runoff water, flows along the surface of the ground into streams, rivers and lakes. The water in the streams, rivers and soil eventually flows into the sea (ocean). The event described above takes place all the time and constitutes the water cycle.

The Oxygen Cycle

All living things need oxygen for respiration. Oxygen and food are converted into energy and carbon (iv) oxide. Green plants change the carbon (iv) oxide back into oxygen. Respiration and combustion use up oxygen and make carbon dioxide, photosynthesis uses up the carbon dioxide and makes oxygen again.

VEDIC MATHEMATICS

VEDIC MATHEMATICS

 

Vedic Mathematics is so to say a branch of mathematics that is named to a system or problem, such that that system is an  ancient system of Indian Mathematics which was rediscovered from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918 by a man they call Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji although late. If am not mistaken, his life was 1884-1960 even before Nigeria gain independence.

According to his research, he said mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae. For example, 'Vertically and Crosswise` is one of these Sutras. These formulae describe the way the mind naturally works and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the appropriate method of solution.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vedic system is its coherence. Instead of a hotch-potch of unrelated techniques the whole system is beautifully interrelated and unified: the general multiplication method, for example, is easily reversed to allow one-line divisions and the simple squaring method can be reversed to give one-line square roots. And these are all easily understood. This unifying quality is very satisfying, it makes mathematics easy and enjoyable and encourages innovation.

In the Vedic system 'difficult' problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern 'system'. Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy.

The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations can be carried out mentally (though the methods can also be written down). There are many advantages in using a flexible, mental system. Pupils can invent their own methods, they are not limited to the one 'correct' method. This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent pupils.

Interest in the Vedic system is growing INDIRECTLY in education, I said indirectly because mathematics teachers are looking for something better and some find the Vedic system to be the answer ignorantly. Research is being carried out in many areas including the effects of learning Vedic Maths on children; developing new, powerful but easy applications of the Vedic Sutras in geometry, calculus, computing etc.

But the real beauty and effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics cannot be fully appreciated without actually practising the system. One can then see that it is perhaps the most refined and efficient mathematical system possible
