Math is not hard: Really?

Image
Math is one of the most difficult subjects to many of us. I liked math when it had only numbers,  I just started hating it, when it asked me to find alphabets like x, y and z. But again I wondered how it is so easy and interesting to few others! I exclaimed at my math teachers who love to teach the subject. Then I understood,  it's their perspective on that subject.  "Your perspective will either become your prison or become your passport".  Still I did not get to know what that perspective could be, to understand that subject. Then I came across a video by Randy Palisoc, a passionate educator, known for making math easy. His lecture in TedEx event caught my attention and I came to understand that "secret" behind math lovers. "To treat math as a language".

when a mother says...

#copypasted When a mother says she’s tired, that’s all she meant ! She did not say she wants to drop her child and forget that the child exists.  When a mother says she wanted some time alone, just her, that’s all she meant . She didn’t say she’s sorry to be a mother and that motherhood was a mistake in her life.  When a mother says she needs help to get things done, that’s exactly what she meant. She is not incapable. When a mother makes noddles for dinner, it does not mean she does noddles everyday of the week and that her daughter/son is a child who does not know vegetables or meats. When you arrive at a mothers house and face disorganization, it doesn’t mean that everyday the house is disorganized.  When a mother says she’d love to go out with her friends, that’s all she meant. She doesn’t want to go back to being “single/ not a mother” and like it as if she had responsibility. When a mother says she worried or afraid, that’s what she meant! She didn’t say she’s going...
