The Gods Must Be Crazy

The Gods Must Be Crazy is a 1980 film, written and directed by Jamie Uys. The film consists of three separate stories, but my favorite part is about Bushman.Bushmen relatives live in the Kalahari Desert. They are happy because the gods have provided plenty of everything, and no one in the tribe has unfulfilled wants. They live together in peace without gins, money even calendar. One day, a glass Coke bottle is thrown out of an airplane and falls to earth unbroken. Initially, this strange artifact seems to be another boon from the gods. At first, they find many uses for it, but there is only one bottle for all. And they soon find themselves experiencing things they never had before: jealousy, anger, hatred, even violence.What do you think about this glass Coke? Which symbol is it?

What You Can Do to Improve Your Brain?

Sometimes you want to remember the name of a song that is playing. It is right there, on the tip of your tongue, but you can't remember it. What would you normally do in such situation? Maybe you ask some friend for the name or something like that. If you want to improve your brain, the next time this happens force yourself to remember that name. The brain can be stimulated just like your muscles so you have to exercise more and more. While you try to remember something and focus on it, your brain does practice and it helps it become strong. Force yourself to remember is one way to improve your brain.

Vincent van Gogh

Do you know Vincent van Gogh? He was a post Impressionist painter. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art. He is one of my favorite artists that sometimes I think about his life; specifically, while he cut off the part of his left ear. He wrapped and handed it to Rachel, and asking her to “keep this object carefully”.

Parents

Most people believe that women talk more than men. Woman are more verbal in private situations, they use conversation as the glue to hold relationships together. But men talk more in public situations, when they use conversation to exchange information or gain status. You can observe these differences in children, too. The little girls usually play with their best friend with a lot of conversation. Again, little boys most of the times play in groups and their play usually include more doing than talking. The recent researches show us the roots of these differences. They found evidence that parents talk with their sons and their daughters in different ways. They use more language and talk more about emotions with their daughters than their sons.

I was surprised about these researches because it helps to shed light on the roots of these differences are the nurture not the nature. In fact, the parent’s behavior plays a very important role to shape the children’s characteristics. Also, kids grow up with playing. Different kinds of toys and plays have a direct effect on children’s behavior, so these effects are the nurture, too. As a result the nurture can change a kid’s characteristic totally.

Education with Contrasting Aspects

In different aspect education has comparisons & contrasts in various countries. They are many differences between education in Iran and Canada. First of all the teachers in Iran are very serious; they never give an example about themselves. Also, it is more formal and polite to use family name and person’s title to address people. For example: Mr. Victor or Dr. Victor. The post secondary education system in Iran is not varied. It only involves university, but in different majors. Second, access to university is difficult in Iran; the national exam determines the students, so in high school they have to study hardly. In other hand during the semesters students do not study very much, and they do not have several exams; most of the time it includes midterm exam and final exam, so the students just study for exams. In addition the education philosophy in Iran based on teacher. In general the students fallow the teacher’s ideas, and they focus on the references that their trainers recommend them. They do not have many discussion sections, and students do not express their ideas and they do not discuss about their opinions.

However in Canada education is different. The teachers give an example about their life or their experiences. Also, the students use first names very freely even call their trainers such as Michael. Further more in Canada the students choose their major themselves. There are several kinds of post secondary school like university, college, vocational. Also there is no national exam in Canada to attend post secondary schools, but they have study more and more because they have a lot of exam, quiz, assay, term paper, midterm exam and final exam. Another difference is about education philosophy. In Canada learning is the responsibility of the individual learner. The students talk about their ideas. They discuss about the different opinions, so they have to research and collect the information that support their minds. In other words educations in different countries have many contrasts such as Iran and Canada.

Milan kundera

Milan Kundera is one my favorite author. He has born April 1, 1929, in Brno Czechoslovakia. Kundera is a Czech and French writer. His writing style and his philosophy is more concerned with the words that shape his characters than with the characters' physical appearance. In one of his book (The Art of the Novel) he says that the reader's imagination automatically completes the writer's vision. He, as the writer, wishes to focus on the essential insofar as the physical is not critical to an understanding of the character. However, I like the challenge of reading his book. The unbearable lightness of being, Identity, and Immortality, are my favorite fictions of this author that I recommend you to read.

Oversized sunglasses

Oversized sunglasses use for many different purpose. They are helpful in reducing glare and provide better and wider protection from harmful rays. Sometimes these sunglasses are useful in hiding natural emotions and facial expression. . Oversized sunglasses were in fashion during late 1950’s.Fashion trends are like a cycle, the trend that was popular twenty-thirty years ago becomes hot and popular again. It happened with oversized sunglasses too. Women became crazy for these oversized sunglasses. They see them as a fashion statement. Oversized sunglasses are also called Onassis sunglasses. These sunglasses are named after Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; the wife of President Kennedy of the United States of America wears it. However these fads appear for a short time and will replace with other fads, because they make profits and they are a part of business world.

Change Color = Change Mood

Painting your walls can chenge the look and feel of your home. For example you can make a small room look bigger by using light colors. To paint a room, start with the ceiling and then paint the walls. First of all prepare the walls and ceiling. Use a stain-blocking primer to cover any dark mark you can't remove. Never paint on wallpaper. Then paint into all the corners with a 2-inch or 3-inch paintbrush. Use the same brush to around doors and windows.After that pour some paint into the roller pan and roll away on the ceiling and then the walls. Try to start rolling before the brushed-on paint has had time to dry. Get as close into the corners as you can. Paint from dry areas into wet. That's it.

My first exhibition in Canada

The Iranian New Year is on March 20. The Iranian Day Festival was on March 13. In this Saturday Norouz Bazaar I had a booth. My projects were about painting on the glass. It was my first exhibition in Canada. I tried to explain for people and they really loved it. They had been shocked to hear that I create those things and they are handmade. During the exhibition, I talked about the several methods; they were interested in arts. They wanted to learn this art. In different aspects, it was a great experience and I learned a lot. It was the first step of the success ladder. I’m really happy and full of hope.
