I'm not sure if it's me getting older or if life is just changing quickly (maybe it's both) but taking a trip down to memory lane to remember some toys, shows, food, and anything we interacted with in the nineties feels good. So for that reason I'm going to write a series of posts covering a few things. This one will be about things we played with and used. Take a look and I'm sure you will be sharing my feelings of saying "aaaw" and "I remember that" to a few items and then perhaps start thinking of how things have changed so much and whether or not it's a good or bad thing. Just think, how was your life before your first smart phone? That alone, I think, was a big step in how our lives changed. So here you go, I'll start out with a mobile phone. Mobile Phones Tamagotchi I would still play with one of these if I can find one Etch-A-Sketch I used to spend hours on this. I kept thinking I would be able to draw something ...

(http://www.thinkgig.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/think-bigger.jpg ) Does your job or what you studied impact the way you interact with people, the way you see the world, and the way you make your life decisions? Knowing that the brain is a muscle and that it develops and changes according to what we feed it and surround ourselves with, does it make us look at things differently and have us make decisions differently? From one individual to another, our train of thought is perhaps educated more or less in the same way during our school years but the process is different. We have all learned that 2+2=4 but the process we take to get the answer is different--each school, school system, parent, etc. approaches this equation differently. For example, there are schools who teach you to memorize the equation (memorizing the times table), while some schools teach visual methods such as hand counting gestures or moving beads using an abacus. Although we might think we are educated ...

Is it that deep inside all human individuals do is think about themselves or is it possible for an individual to completely remove the sense of oneself and devote oneself's actions to the good of someone else. Now, yes there are different levels at which people care for others but nevertheless everyday one comes across others that react, on that certain day, as they feel they should according to their own individual good and leave no care for the persons around them. It is that selfishness, we as humans all possess, but it does not come alone. Once someone commits a selfish act, there is an after effect... the feeling of guilt. Some ignore this feeling of guilt, others do not feel it at all and some it continues to haunt them, which in some cases leads them to feel guilty that they feel guilty. Guilt is not the only thing happening in the background behind selfishness, but it is also said that selfishness could be a cause of a weakness. Nevertheless I believe humans i...

I did a little search and found myself a couple of masjids around the world that have fascinating architecture. So here are a couple for you... The Great Mosque of Cordoba - Spain I was first introduced to this mosque in an Islamic architecture course during college and from that day it got stuck in my head as a historic place with amazing architecture, even though I learned about a looot of famous mosques during the course it still stood out. That's why I am placing it first cause I just love it and have always wanted to visit it, so if I ever go to Spain I'm going to make sure to stop by this historic work of art.   To the people of al-Andalus “the beauty of the mosque was so dazzling that it defied any description." This mosque though is no longer a mosque but instead a church (since 1236) but because it is so beautiful there are lots of Islamic aspects to it that were not touched nor removed during its transformation. Some amazing architectura...
