Our individual lives dont mean anything in the large scale of things, because the world is where we all live. Everybody (about seven billion people or more) live on the earth, but we are the only ones benefiting from our own lives, so in order to not be selfish, we should think about the majority

The black blackboard?
The blackboard makes me think of: school. French and Maths! Homework! Writing. A huge whiteboard. The happiness of seeing my teacher. The pleasure of working. The pleasure of writing. Having fun! Doing exercises. Doing geometry. Doing grammar. Doing history. Doing English. Reading. Working with a world map. What is a blackboard? It’s magnetic. It’s white
A flawed perfection
The invisible barrier is apparent. I’m separated from the others, silently excluded from their interactions and conversations, their voices akin to the silence of white noise fading into the background. I am judged by the angles of my face and the scars on my skin. Their faces morphing into ones of grotesque disgust, as they
Hackschooling, Why Not?
Logan LaPlante is completely correct. Adults focus too much on what they want for their children, not what the children want for themselves. I mean, if you’re looking for an answer like neurosurgeon or businessman, go ask a genius baby or something. I feel that parents set their children’s goals for them, rather than asking
Good Mistakes
When you do a mistake, do you think you learn faster? Doing mistakes is, I think, very important to learn, and learning also means to grow up and evolve. A lot of people are afraid of making errors and think of them as something that should be avoided at all costs or assimilate them with
“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk” Thomas A. Edison
INTRODUCTION I don’t quite agree with T. A. Edison because there is another saying: “Necessity is the mother of invention”. This saying clearly shows that when one invents there is a need so a necessity. I will argue this article by illustrating it with two stories. One will be an anecdote in my life and
Why Do Grown-Ups Read Fairy Tales

Our Demigod Dream
Who are we? The dwellers of earth, is that enough? We can imagine aliens and monsters, doodle them in notebooks, but do we really know anything? The thing we do know is who we are. So when our imaginations look for fantasies, we see only ourselves. We look to our past; we look to our
Imagination over Knowledge
Imagine setting foot, in older times, on the flocculent ground of an alternate dimension; it is a macrocosm, which is utterly different from the one we have always known, despite having been just at our fingertips since the beginning of time. I truly believe that Einstein was justified when he stated that, ‘Imagination is more
In the Future, Children will still use pencils
Without mincing words I can vividly say that children will still use pencils in the future. This is as a result of it continuous usefulness and it properties. People might said, we are in the age of globalization in which all the world is a stage as put by William Shakespeare, but that does not
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” by Albert Einstein
Knowledge is very important don’t get me wrong, but Without imagination, there would be no new ideas or inventions or nothing new will ever happen at all because every idea or invention or anything new comes from imagination. Look out of your window. What do you see out there? Roads, houses, parks maybe? Whatever you
Mistakes are opportunities to learn
A mistake is an action by us, that gets either other people or us into some sort of trouble. Mistakes can be careless or accidental, gigantic like losing one’s life savings in an investment or tiny like spilling juice over a school essay. One thing is for certain though: mistakes are always opportunities for learning,
Babel Fish
The Babel Fish was created in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, long before Google Translate or Yahoo’s version that was named after the Babel Fish, or any of the other free translators you can find online. Google Translate and Babelfish are not always reliable, because there’s slang and there’s names and there’s lots of
If everyone were able to speak English, what would happen to all the other languages?
English. Rapidly becoming the world’s most popular language. Natively spoken in the United Kingdom, North America, Australia and New Zealand, as well as countless other countries and islands. It is also taught as a second language in the majority of mainland Europe, much of Asia, parts of Africa and even in parts of South America
