Serendipity

"Translator" would define this word (serendipity) as "coincidence" or an "event taking place by accident". Would this definition be as scientific and logical as the life changes it would bring with it? I believe this word would mean something different to each person who experiences it. Sometimes even logic can't explain the translation of a certain word because it misses the spirit of HUMANS. Some people would finish a major part of their lives because of a certain coincidence while others might start a totally new life because of a certain accident. Serendipity seems to be wonderful when it is directed to the best of our interest. Yet, the question that is to be asked is whether YOU BELIEVE "SERENDIPITY" really exists or not! In other words, is there anything happening just because it is supposed to or is there always a reason behind each event?

    I believe in serendipity, things occur which we do not expect all the time. When those things are good things, serendipity describes them. I think it is hard to explain because serendipity involves magic which is from an unknown and unseen force. It is hard for us to understand and believe those things that appear in our lives like magic and sometimes we really don’t want to try to explain them. Some people believe Serendipity is luck, or chance or accidental. For me I don’t because when it happens, it is meant to happen at that moment, right where I am . However, there are times when a person can create his own Serendipity or at least create a likely situation where it may occur

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...
