Have you ever wonder about this?

Okay this may sound weird but i have always wonder about this ever since i was a little kid and so had I believe everyone studied science or history before always had a hard time remembering names of the the places or invention named after the inventor or founder but have you ever wonder who created alphabets, all the words and nouns that we have right now. Take for example dog, why must that particular word dog represent that particular animal the dog. Well if you just try asking an adult, their probable answer would be that this is the way our forefather had created or started it this way. Try asking another question regarding who is this particular forefather that we are talking about and see whether they would answer you in the same manner as before. I'm not trying to change anything here but don't you feel curios that why are there only 26 alphabets available and only 5 vowels can't there be more or less or even words like cat or chicken who were the origins that started giving things their respective names?

Is group studies really effective for you ?

Some people like group studies for the sake of hanging out with friends or trying to get better grades after most successful people said that they too once did group studies to work smart instead of work hard. Now here's the real deal about the whole concept of group studies whether it helps or not depends on one's own perception. We tend to help a friend with his studies if and only if they asked for help or unless there are some intentions but I'm not saying all of us does that (just some). Unless we teaches others in the group sincerely that only we will feel a sense of accomplishment and enable others to understand the teaching and not doubting us or even question or tease us as we are trying our best to help. But the whole idea isn't for us to be dependent people who just wait for someone to be that sorta helpful and guide us or even going around asking for help. When studying together with friends i tend to boast my knowledge as to prove that I'm the better one which is the whole idea of group studying. Using this whole perception before you study trying to explain what you just read to your friends and your normal one, don't know about you but i prefer the explaining idea. If we study normally by ourselves but with the perception of explaining to someone else later will we have the same effect? That's why the whole idea of group studies is kinda like this or at least that's what it is for me!

Intellectual and emotional experience

Please take a few seconds and just to look at this picture below.

Do you see the devil staring right out at you! Or do you see some women looking at themselves in a mirror. What is it ? Look at the picture again. Can you see both the devil's stare and the two women. This is to demonstrate clearly and eloquently that two people can see the same thing, disagree, and yet both be right. It shows that how our perception enable us to be different from others and even changes how we lives and all our daily actions. If you the devil in the composite picture, you undoubtedly find the picture rather scary and would not like to have a second look at it. However if you fist saw the women starring at each other then it wouldn't be of such a case. Either way this proves that how we see things changes how we think and have us changes our believes accordingly and so does our actions. Don't you agree too ?

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Darwin's theory; the chicken egg came from a different species. 
A chicken could not have its genetic material altered during life, so the egg must have evolved and been first. 
If you take into account the doctrine of evolution, the egg's coming first becomes plausible on the cellular level under perfect circumstances (abundant food and resources). There will be an a-sexual reproduction once the environment becomes unfavorable. The species would then evolve, and a lot of animals have no parental instincts but through evolution some have started to look after their young. 
An a-sexual reproduction is reproduction in which there is no fusion of male and female sex cells gametes. 
The egg came first because the chicken descended from a dinosaur, and it laid an egg that was changed from Darwin's theory. 
The egg came first because a chicken comes from an egg. At whatever point you decide to call the chicken a true chicken, it must have come from an egg. Because the different species before it must have evolved to make a chicken, the egg came first.

THE CHICKEN CAME FIRST:

Using Literature, the chicken comes first. 
Using grammar, "the chicken" comes first in the sentence (They come before the words, "the egg".). 
In a dictionary, the word "chicken" comes before "egg". 
God created the chicken first. 
In the seven days that God created the earth, it makes no mention of animal's eggs. Thus, the chicken came first. 
The chicken came first because, if the chicken didn't come first, there would be no egg or care for it. So, God had to make the chicken first.

NEITHER THE EGG NOR THE CHICKEN CAME FIRST: 

There is no answer.Since the question is a paradox, there is no answer. If the chicken came first, it came from the egg. If the egg came first, then it came from a chicken, and so forth. 
There is no correct answer that can be proven. It's all theory. 
Evolution suggests that both chickens and eggs evolved from creatures and "egg-things" you would not recognize to be part of the lineage. (Similar to how, in the very distant past, some molecule[s] that was [were] not what we would call "life" became "life".) That was the beginning. 
The rooster came first.Neither the chicken or the egg came first. It was the rooster who came first. 
The egg and the chicken came at the same time.The chicken and the egg are just two different names for the same process or being. It's like water becoming ice is still water, and vice versa. Well, you could also put it as a circle has no beginning.

Each of us has many, many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories : maps of the ways things are, or the realities, and maps of the way things should be, or valves. We interpret everything through these mental maps. We seldom question their accuracy; we're usually even unaware that we have them. We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of those assumptions. The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act. Depending on whether people believe the scientific theory or even common folks' beliefs that whether a chicken or the eggs comes first or even don't believe in neither one of it, it all depends on our paradigm that changes how we see our world and how we live.

Ever Wonder Why We Human Beings Need To Give

It is a very stupid question to ask but we do need to ask ourselves what is the our true purpose out of giving. You may have different answers depending on personal interest or the surrounding conditions. It depends rite !!!

1. Giving for Popularity                                                                                               It is always general to say that some people donates or give for the sake of name and publicity. So is it really okay to be giving out of such an intention, that i don't really know. For example lets say you donate the most amount of money for a charity foundation or for a fundraising project. Your name is not displayedon the notice boar among the other donors. You get upset. Egoistic thoughts arise in the mind. You get angry. You quarrel with the people in charge for not displaying your name. There are also some rich people who do not care about needy and poor people around them. They do not spend a single cent on charity but they sponsor generously for sports, musical shows or other big functions where they have good publicity.
2. Giving out of Fear                                                                                                       People also give out of fear. Some rich people give to the needy and poor people, thinking that God will punish them otherwise. Those who earn wealth in wicked, immoral ways too, give away, out of fear of God or having bad results in their next existence.For example lets say you are a well-known rich in the city. A group of people in the same city organize a scholarship program to support poor students in the area. They approach you seeking some donation for a charity. You do not want to give. But out of fear of losing your good reputations among the others; you donate some money.
3. Giving out of Anger                                                                                                   You go to a hawker centerto have your lunch. A beggar comes and ask money. This beggar seems quite healthy and strong. 'Why can't he do some work and earn his own keep?' The aversion arises in your mind. You just ignore him and continue eating.He keeps asking for money again and again. You feel iritated. You are angry now. You want to get rid of this troublesome man. You give him some money with the intention of getting rid of him.
4. Giving to Receive                                                                                                         Most of the time, when we give away something we expect something else in return. Many people give away with the intention of receiving. Lets say a rich man donates a big amount of money to build a temple. But from the moments he gives, he already expects something in return. He wishes to have special recognition. He tries to influence the temple work thinking 'I have onated a vast amount of money, so i have the right to interfere in the matters of this temple'. Also when you put money into the donation box in the temple you may make a wish to receive more money. So is it okay for us to do such a thing. Well that totally depends on one spepective of view or our paradigm !!!
5. Giving to Cultivate Detachment                                                             Craving is one of the strongest mental bondages. It is not easy to give away something. Whenever we give; craving arises towardsthe thing we are about to give. Wise people give away without any expectation in return. They givein order to give up greed, hatred and delusion. They give with wisdom. They give with compassion. They give with altruistic joy.
