The Condemnation

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what it was all about. But I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.

I was convienced I was " right" and the boy was wrong. The boy was convinced that " he was right " and I was wrong.

Our teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and place him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk, was a large, round object.

I could clearly see that is was black. She asked the boy what color the object was "white". He answered.

I couldn't believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black. I didn't wait for her to ask me before I shouted " black".

Another argument spur up between my classmates and me. This time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to stand where the boy was standing and told him to go and stand where I had been. We changed, and now she asked me what color the object was.

I had to answer " white ". She asked the boy and he said "black". It was an object object with two colored sides. Only from my side it was black.

ADVICE,

Sometimes we need to look at the problem from the other people's view in other to truly understand their perspective(s) and what is really behind what they are doing or going through.

Not to condemn or judge from afar.

STAY POSITIVE!

Arguments.

Most people say they don't like arguing but the fact remains that in order to properly buttress your point , sometimes you need to stress on what your view is, But this becomes difficult when there is an opposition or a third party that wants you to listen to their own point of view contrary to yours. Everybody argues for a particular reason, and everybody have their reasons based on their thinking and conclusion. Voices are raised up when people find it difficult to conclude on an issue after some moments of argument. As voices are raised up, feelings and emotions begins to set in, anger begins to sprau up gradually. In no short time insults begins to be amidst the arguments and of course it is always a reciprocal scenario. As the pressure increases, if self control is lacking, everyone goes home with a squeezed face and sometimes a hurt body or with animosity. Argument is not mandatory but in a case where it is necessary, letting our your view is the best option. You don...

How to read.

There is a very important fact about eye movement that you need to know. If you record the eye movements of someone who is reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before; in other words, he regresses to an earlier part of the text, probably because he realises he does not understand the passage properly. Then he comes back to where he left off and continues reading. At one time, it was thought that regression was a fault, but it is in fact a very necessary activity in efficient reading. There are several different kinds of faults in reading, which are usually exaggerated with foreign learners. The most common one is that most people read slowly than they should. There is no rate at which people ought to read, of course: it depends on your purpose in reading; how difficult the language is, how unfamiliar the material is and so on. But most people read everything at the same slow speed, and do not s...
