RANDOM NOTES

I heard it second-hand, but it still amazes me. There were many people talking about love, and what love meant. And this child says "love is when my granpa ties granma's shoelaces, because she has arthritis...although his arthritis is worse than hers". To this day, I belive that's the most accurate definition of love.

I asked a 5 year old kid to recite the multiplication table of 8. He recited it like this:
8 1's are 8
8 2's are 16
8 4's are 32
8 9's are 72
8 7's are 56
...
I suggested to him that he didn't know what came after 2 or 3, since he had recited so randomly.
Then he replied "I did this way so that you may not feel that I am adding up, everyone says that I add up"

We have a school for the deaf inside the campus of IIT Roorkee. Today I saw a little girl of around 6 years dropped at that school by her father on a scooter. As I am kinda familiar with sign language, I saw one of the most beautiful conversations in this world today. The child's father helped her down the scooter and asked her who is she? She replied 'I am the most beautiful and special child on earth'. Then the father asked her why did God make her like this. The girl signed 'Because I am God's favorite and most special. So he had to make me different so that he can watch me from the sky'. Then father kissed her and she happily ran inside the school to join her friends. I almost had tears in my eyes by then...

Mr. Smith, when asked once about the secret to his success, vehemently stated that it had very little to do with talent.
"You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right?”

Nature is Awesome

                Nature is Awesome Javed Chaudhary   · Y e s t e r d a y   a t   2 : 4 3   A M   · WHY DO DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMANS!!! Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the...

intelligence is not about knowledge

Joel Reid Science Teacher (Secondary) Updated 3y Was anyone 1,000 years ago as smart as someone with average intelligence today? I was teaching a science class in the Australian desert and the class was quietly working (it was a nice class). I looked out the window and I commented to no one in particular, “Looks like there will be a cyclone next week.” The students mostly started laughing and one piped up “The national meteorologists said that the low would pass by without any problem.” But there was a part of the class that did not object to my announcement… the local indigenous people. Instead they asked, “How do you [of European descent] know what our elders know?” I smiled and pointed out the window, “The wind has changed to go in the opposite direction, the clouds have moved north instead of south, and the corellas (a small cockatoo) have all left town and gone to shelter in Karijini (local mountain range).” The indigenous students were impressed and everyone else t...
