When Galileo first challenged the flat earth theory four centuries ago, his new invention called the telescope took the world by storm. it was such an alien thing to people at the time, but amazed the world anyway, people now had a chance to look at heavenly bodies in their full glory. nowadays astronomy and the study of heavenly bodies is a basic knowledge education taught in schools worldwide and Telescopes are now so cheap than you can find them in the average household nowadays.

Slavery is a sad part of history that a lot of people would rather not want to talk about, they wish it was swept under the rug as the stories are so distressing & so heart wrenching that it would be better if no one ever spoke about this dark past at all. Debates on such topics have created so much division in the society, social tensions are back on the rise. Descendants of those slaves want these issues to be discussed in public squares, they want this history to be fully taught in scho...

When running an organization, things go wrong all the time. A lot of managers complain so much about the work they do because every working day of their lives is always a fight for survival. They feel like going to the office every day to try and rescue a sinking ship. Just like seafaring captains, our leaders go through the same kind of struggles every day. Managing a ship, especially a huge tanker or cargo vessel is such an incredible task, first of all, the captain has to make sure all ...

"I have seen people swarm around you like bees on a honeycomb", says martin to his old friend Jimmy, "what is it that you give them, which makes them like you so much? There certainly must be something interesting they are getting from you, can I get a piece of that too? Please tell me something funny, it could be anything, a story, a joke, a riddle, a phrase, just anything," pleads martin with now reluctant Jimmy, "all right then", replies the latter, just remember that I am no Comedian, ...

Technology has gotten into the hands of the people we least expected, our kids and they appear to be more proficient and advanced than we are, they love all things that are techie, soon their capabilities in this high tech world will surpass that of our own while we sleep. Recently I was shocked to find an eight year old girl who owned a blog which she edited almost twice a week without the help of anyone, even her own parents didn't help her do it. It gets updated four times faster than m...

I never had any poor image of myself since childhood till when others made me think so lowly of myself, it begins as a simple comment, a playful tease which turns into a contemplation and later becomes a belief, then slowly becomes a reality. A feeling of uneasiness begins to crouch into the mind, some of such thoughts do rise deep from oneself, however, most are ideas of external origin, beliefs put into them by others who despise them, it therefore depends on one's own ability to wade of...

Silly kids definitely ask silly questions,"HELLO KING JAMES," is the name of the Sunday school Jimmy and I went to, as you know it children with their never ending curiosity can be very annoying sometimes especially with their nerdy questions. After all you can't blame nor punish them for their ignorance, for being unreasonable and finding difficulties understanding simple matters. Thanks to reverend Walter for his great patience with us, he tried his best to answer our inquiries in...

When machines go on strike who can survive? Who will stand in their way when they join forces to get rid of us? We have become so much depended on machinery and technology that we can barely do anything without them. Picture a world without machinery and we have nothing, we are plunged back into the stone age, to a time when we are unable to do anything complex, we were helpless as an infant and always at mercy to the forces of nature . Shouldn't we rethink our building strategies altogeth...

All languages are beautiful for those that speak them and those that don't understand, it's just like listening to another pair of gibberish parrots, there is no single person who can speak all the languages. That if it was possible would drive any human mad if they make it halfway, or even a quarter, the diversity of languages is what makes our world more exciting and more beautiful, it gives each person a sense of identity and a group to belong to, it gives each individual a unique view ...

There is some form of barter trade that goes on behind our backs on a daily basis without us knowing it and still effective as it were many centuries ago. All modern day transactions and commerce systems have some features of barter trade deeply engraved into them, only those who know what they are doing get the best share of the market, while those who hope to be lucky and strike it rich fast end up picking bread crumbs, leftovers from other peoples ventures, would you give away a bag of ...

I walked into an auditorium to find a group of artist perform, "la danse des sauvages," or simply the dance of the savages, with a dozen few people watching them from the benches, I asked for what purpose were they doing it for, was it a performance of sorts? When a director replied instantly claiming that he wanted to show the world how savage we are, any form of entertainment that promotes violence, encourages civil disobedience and harden people's hearts is savage, however peacefully it...
