WHY THE STUDY OF MATHEMATICS CAN SPUR YOUR CREATIVITY

Posted on by TT

During the year of 2014, while re-engaging in the study of mathematics, I attemped to use visual techniques to retain numbers in a swifter manner; experimenting with several methods and viewing documentaries relating to savants proved to me that the study of mnemonics, although I still have not been able to master it, was quite helpful for strengthening one’s memory and improving the brain’s mechanisms. The study of mnemonics refers to learning methods that help a person convert information into a specific structure that our mind would be better able to recall than its primary structure.

Initially, I had re-engaged in the study of math after university for the purpose of obtaining a high ranking in a preparatory exam in order to get into my favorite universit(ies) – which, because of their top rankings were often quite tricky to get into – to pursue my studies as an MBA student. But by the time I had decided to shift to the career continuation path instead of university certification and validation and deciding to start my own company, I had realized that math was a lovely language that could be often artistic and that I wanted to pursue its exploration even if for my sole amusement.

Mathematics gives one the ability to apply imagination to science which, after having done some reading on the subject, I found out was one of the things that characterized the computer revolution in the early early 1980s.

Reengaging with mathematics – just as it had with several renowned people in the past (as per general research on the subject) – stimulates creativity and can probably do so for everyone. The notion of imagination specifically as applied to technology is captivating as well and has aided several acclaimed innnovators create the most innovative products and services of our era.

APPLYING THE “IF YOU MUST FAIL, FAIL QUICKLY” RATIONALE TO RELATIONSHIPS

Posted on by TT

It’s apparent that we all unconsciously attribute a certain value to the time we take off from our schedules to hang out with the people that we decide to hang out with. This usually becomes more important when it comes to establishing close relationships or potential commitments. Here’s why, in several instances, I think that the “if you must fail, fail quickly” concept should be implemented as much in relationships as in business.

Evaluating the potential 

When it comes to initially evaluating a potential long-term companion, the aforementioned added value is mainly derived from an attempt to assess the likeliness of that person’s existing mental, physical, intellectual, cultural and any other influential assets to intertwine with one’s own in a way for both individuals to become major contributors to numerous aspects of each other’s lives in the long-run. This exercice is commonly known as “getting to know each other” and is typically repeated several times for the purpose of effectively exchanging all major details about one another.

Perceiving incompatibilities

As this continuous activity is performed, one of the individuals or both might be led to believe that, due to some or several contributing factors, the envisioned intertwinement does not seem likely to happen which consequently eliminates the main basis for spending time with one another. This is commonly described as the “turn-off” and could be due to numerous perceivable incompatibilities such as conflicts in opinions, interests, wishes, beliefs, morals, visions, ambitions, level of education, open-mindedness or perhaps even in the level of physical or spiritual bonding efforts that have been made thus far…

Relinquishing the efforts  

When it seems apparent to one or both individuals, that the other just might not be compatible for the purposes of the relationship, this realization eliminates most of the factors that initially constituted the basis for spending time with one another and thus, more likely than not, greatly reduces if not eliminates most of the future amount of time spent with one another, something commonly reffered to as “cutting it off”, and for good reasons.

As per one of Ambarish Gupta’s (CEO & Co-Founder at Knowlarity Communications) popular startup tips – “if you must fail, fail quickly and start all over again.” – I truly believe that the same concept can and should be implemented to relationships and friendships mainly with the previously mentioned intents, so as to quickly move on to the best fit.

UNDERSTANDING UNIVERSAL BEAUTY

Posted on by TT

It would be great to believe that inner beauty trumps physical looks, but the not-so-pretty truth is that people are visual by nature. When it comes to womens’ physical features, several studies suggest that most males around the globe have a preference for high cheekbones, full lips, small chins and an hourglass figure, the perfect picture of a beautiful woman being one with strong cheek bones, large eyes and a slim waist.

Universal Beauty

There are certain features that are generally accepted as constituting what most of us consider as “beautiful”. Let’s explore the origins of some of these features such as the hourglass figure, inflated lips, voluminous breasts, clear and soft skin, a symmetrical body and other feminine features. Most of these features originally were desired by men because they generally indicated that a woman was healthy, young and fertile enough to be able to successfully carry on the man’s genes.

Dartmouth College has researched universal facial attractiveness (UFA) traits and here are a few universally accepted traits of attraction:

Strong Cheekbones

Strong cheekbones progress in a person’s face as they grow and, for women, are usually an indicator that they have grown-up enough to be able to reproduce successfully. In terms of males, high cheekbones are generally indicators of high levels of testosterone which is why in several civilizations are seen as appealing facial features.

Full Lips

The fullness of the lips is one of the main features that differentiates women from men. Since thin lips – whether a woman was born with them or whether they became that way as a consequence of aging – reduce a woman’s femininity, sensuality and overall attractiveness, fuller lips are always considered as an attractive trait in women.

Big Eyes

Big eyes generally designate firm levels of estrogen; hormones that control and maintain several female physical traits. In addition to this, the clearness of the eyes is important as well; damp and unclear eyes can be indicators of sorrow and deformity.

Symmetrical Face & Body

Symmegtrical facial and body figures are generally considered indicators of propitious reproduction, a healthy immune system and good maturation.

Voluminous Breasts

Big breasts are sientifically known to be more attractive to most men. The origins of this attraction relates to big breasts being a sign of fertility, a.k.a they’re a good measuring tool for a woman’s reproductive potential.

Small Female Chins & Broad Male Chins

Males are conventionally considered as masculine when they have broad chins while woman are considered more feminine when the opposite is true.

The Hourglass Figure

Males are fond of women’s waists, so it’d be a good idea to show one. In the case where a woman’s waist in not in her advantage, styling it with clothes or using belts in the right way can certainly help.

Conclusion

People and woman in specific should comprehend that a healthful way of perceiving beauty is neither in ignoring it nor obssessing over it but rather putting enough energy into taking care of one’s appearance or else accept the consequences of neglecting to groom oneself properly.
