Jokes! Do they tell what they are supposed to tell?

I was really thinking of the reasons that would urge someone to tell a joke. Is it because this is his nature? Was he born funny? Or is it just another mask to hide a huge amount of sadness within one's self? Personally, I use jokes and I laugh a lot to hide different raging waves inside my heart. I would respond with a joke sometimes maybe because I want to run away from facing something scary, sad, or even ridiculous. I would also use smiles and jokes in hard situations as a way of breaking the ice between me and an authoritative person. I remember that I once used a joke to compensate my friend at her mother's funeral.Okay! It wasn't in its place but at least I made her smile in my own way. Moreover, I would use a joke to deliver a certain message without embarrassing the one in front of me. Words are words but ,I believe, when they are used in a nice way, they would save us lots of unpleasant remarks. This is my way; I laugh to hide, mask, and to deal with others. I tame people by being funny.What is your way?

    Even if jokes are being used to hide a lot of issues happening deep inside you, they are still not an easy task! To be funny when you want to be or when you have to do it to get away from the corner is hardly managed. Coming up with the right joke which would save you is a talent. Soo keep it up, being funny has gathered a lot of friends around you. Your dynamic like no one I have ever seen.

External Beauty.

Once you ask someone about "Beauty", he would reply that beauty comes within the soul. People would run into this answer but they actually form first impressions about a certain person by analyzing his external appearance. Studies have showed that people are usually attracted to tall persons and deny the friendship of shorter ones at the beginning. Research has gone deeper into analyzing what facial expressions would help their holder in establishing quicker relationships. I was surprised when I read about a study that concluded people with wide pupil of their eyes attract more viewers. Some people would eventually prefer the internal beauty and deny the external one. I believe the problem lies in our definition of beauty and the criteria we follow when judging a person -male or female- as beautiful or not. Who ever said that a fat person does not fit the criteria or a red headed boy is not beautiful? Each one has a special kind of beauty away from any ugly criteria that wo...

Authenticity of EDUC 560!!

Educ 560 might seem a simple code that would mean nothing to others but a course. While others are thinking of what they should do to pass this course, my major thoughts revolved around the things I can do to my students and how to benefit myself. Each time that I left the class, I thought about how to use the business cards as ice breaking activity for my little students. I have also found a nicer way to publish students' work through posters or newsletters that can show it all at the first glance. And is there a better place to spread your work worldwide than a blog?  Nothing would last in your memory unless you fetch its use in your real life.

Smart Phones!

Image
I really miss sitting around the table or in a certain place without clicking and pecking in our "SMART" phones. It is impossible to see people gathering without chatting. But what kind of chatting? They keep their heads down and their eyes on a glowing screen for sometimes silly reasons. These advances seem to be so tempting but it doesn't mean that we should give up social life for the sake of social media. I feel sorry sometimes when I see people lacking the social skills to a degree that they can only start a conversation through "Whats-app" or any other social media. When using technology and smart phones for beneficial reasons, no harm can happen. Yet, people of different age levels are using this technological revolution as an escape from real life. I miss seeing a child playing in the mud instead of smashing a candy in " Candy Crush". Are smart phones making us smarter or are we losing part of our intelligence? That part that has to do with t...
