https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN34FNbOKXc&feature=youtu.be this was a video i came across while working on an assignment for my calculus class. this video just seemed to encompass what this whole first week was about for me, that how you choose to think will determine everything for you. its not the your inherent skill that will determine your success but your attitude about your situation. you can choose to always get angry or not try your best because you believe that something is inherent to you or you can choose to see the brighter side of things and always try your best. its these decisions that ultimately determine success and its in our power to just make the right chose. Personally i can learn from this because I've felt that any non-major related class isn't worth my time and as such i haven't been really putting in my full effort into these classes. eventually, should i continue to think this way, my grades will reflect my lack of effort or i can change my...

Aral sea

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-a0c4856e-1019-4937-96fd-8714d70a48f7 This is an article i had to read for my math class. in it it tell the tale of men who lived on/by the Aral sea, and what happened as the sea dried up. the sea was reduced to 5% of its original volume, leaving behind a desert of toxic dirt in its wake. the sea wasn't destroyed by normal processes, this was caused by people damming it up and diverting the in-flowing rivers away to water crops. this article just got me thinking how sad it is that people would do something like this. you can very visibly see that your destroying vast amount of land and yet they continued until there was nothing left. more than that, now that they've destroyed the sea, they cant even use the water to supply the crops that destroyed the sea. I find this article to be a great example of what happens if people aren't vigilant about calling out destructive policies/actions.

Monotomy

Its that time of the year again. everything thing is back in full swing. school days have established their rhythm and work schedules are repetitious. Everyone is running like clockwork, waking up, going to class, studying, maybe hanging out with friends for a bit, working, homework, then bed. rinse and repeat till the weekend. In the monotony of it all, i often find myself think whats the point of doing all this, to get a degree so i can work a 9-5 job for the rest of my life? maybe its just to please my parents or perhaps i just feel inclined by society to get a degree or be a failure. whatever the reason may be, i hate it. However, despite my hatred of all this hollow humdrum, i recall a video i watched at the start of this year. the video was about the repetition of life, and how you can either get angry at it or learn to live with it. This video stuck with me, and while I'm displeased with the average everyday, I've learned to put up with it.
