This, is what can trick you!

Think of your brain is the most powerful tool to figure out what happens in your life? Let's give a shot of an example, you have your brain to make such inventions, breakthrough, and all things considered as ideas. Well, brain is indeed having the main role in our life, realise it or not, you always use it everyday to do almost anything. But, the brain itself also having the weakness-side, as we may or may not realise it. For instance: Multi-tasking, is a word to describe 2 things which are done at the same time, and related to our brain, we can't even do this well.

Anyway i have kind of tricky facts to play along with your brain, and try to prove it that, even few simple games, we can be fooled by.

These are things, that you can try at your friends:

1. Biblical question

Here's a simple question to put your Biblical knowledge to the test. But don't worry, you don't have to go to church or temple every day of the week to get it right: How many of each kind of animal did Moses bring on his ark?

If you answered "two," you're like most people … and you're incorrect. It was Noah who took animals on his craft.

Most people get this question wrong because the brain is primed by the words "biblical," "ark" and "animals," and goes straight into accessing its Bible-related knowledge to answer, said Jason Silva, the host of the show. This allows the brain to gloss over the fact that Moses is not the right guy.  

2. Mary's mother

Mary's mother has four children: April, May, June and …?

If you answered "July," you've been tricked. The correct answer is Mary. Your brain is built to be efficient and looks for patterns in everything, Silva said. Even though the answer is contained in the first two words of the riddle, your brain automatically goes to "July," because that's the next month. This riddle reveals your automatic, or system 1, brain process at work. This system uses shortcuts in an effort to save the brain energy needed to do other things, like running the body and keeping a person alive.

 

3. School bus

Quick: which way is this bus headed? (The image shows a bus without any markings on its side.) The correct answer is to the left — the entrance on a bus is always on the right side, which must be facing away. Children, with more recent experience on buses, are much better at answering this question than adults. It illustrates how important cues and former experience are in interpreting a sight or situation.

Will you share with me?

Nowadays, i have been craved to obtain any kind of informations related to how to make an interactive class? I am the one whose current job, as an english tutor, specialized in public speaking, and that's my part-time job actually, also i am quite newbie in such leading a class. I believe that, many of users here, are english teachers or some sort of having the related experiences. My aim is to engage you all, to be part of my discussion here, where you can just simply, give opinions or advices for me and also others who are part of this.

My current method is, i like to start with the materials first, along side the questioning of its content, so my students will be more likely engaged themselves in trying to contribute in every meeting. I also put some sort of stories to give a warm atmosphere and discussions in my class, however i still believe that there is any kind of better method to know and to implement as what you have.

I hope you can try to give your ideas, thanks.

What has been happened to her?

5

Nowadays, Technology has changed human's perception in seeing world which is different from what it used to be. People needs have radically been changed in what it seems related to almost tech-stuff. Let's make it straight, i will just say that if tomorrow is going to have no internet for a day, i will feel so empty -- like i have lost a half of something great in me.

As what i have been seen in many kinds of cases everyday, it seems clear thing to me, with what exactly i'm thinking and imagining here, what if the elder people in my place, also will have been grasped in this rapid-changed? Actually, it's already been happening tho. So i think it was what i thought before. My very close question that i was always wondering is what if my mom, has turned all of her stuff into technology? Like she would actually be twittering everyday as what i have been doing to myself? Wouldn't it be so bothering? And she would just say something while i try to ask her daily job as mother, "wait, don't even bother me, are'nt you seeing what i am doing, are you?".

Okay, let's be honest, what i'm doing here, is trying to share to you, what has exactly been happened to my family as what happened outside. While my little brother was trying to get his homework done which his mom always been assisting him every homework to finish, he had treated a bit differently. She was doing something with her whatsapp and it was pretty sure, that she was chatting in there. My mom yelled to do his stuff quickly, and she quite didn't notice what she was doing.

My mom exactly put her attention a hundred percents at the phone's screen which unconsciously slowing down my little bro's homework to get it done. I dwelled myself in doing no-reaction to it, well, it was surprising. I was like, "the day is about to begin, lol". Actually plenty of cases i have been experienced, aren't exactly going to fit in one screen to share them all, so pick this as what i have seen in my closest life.

Dear mom, i love you very much, and i know you won't mean any of it to yield bad behaviours among us. So i just try to write this kind of refelection that i wanted to share before.

Thanks, LOL

Things that i have been noticed along with the recent occurances in football, is just how these two biggest football teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, have their each clash to get ahead of the table-points in a very extraordinary way. But i just want to be focus in Real Madrid particularly. As what you know, this team, has always been attempted to win the league by their buyings.

I don't even have to explain this exactly to them, who pretty much into football. The stunning strike of the recent transfer, is how they have brought one the best player in the world, Gareth Bale, valued by (100 million Euros), to El Real, by this summer transfer windows year (2013).  October 26th 2013, was the first most waiting game which encountered El Real and Barcelona, yet Barca's side also have had their new signing star, Neymar, the Brazillian. 

Surprisingly, i was watching the whole match and none kind of expected contribution made by Bale particularly, as what i thought, that would be like kind of Fast and Furious to put both Ronaldo and Bale at the side of the field, which could be incredible. I think, it was so big questioning to just realise what happened in that match? I mean, i actually into my fantasy to expect Bale pretty much doing what he had been contributed to his previous team, which was Tottenham.

The first goal, even made by his signing rival, Neymar, at the first half.

It was like Real Madrid trying to find their best form to get in shape, while Barcelona as always be in their best shape, even to clash in such El clasico.


Madrid was all the way trying to level up the score, nothing but few disapointing outcome as Ronaldo, had a yellow card, trying protest to the referee as he deserved to get a penalty for the precedented occurance.

The second half was whistled as signal to begin, and yet the successive subtitution, as Sanchez coming onto the field and scoring such a stunning goal, and gained a double advantage for Barca.

Madrid scored eventually to get closer gap, by Jese, but it was a little too late in the nearly injury-time. As Madrid lost in this 167th El clasico edition, under the unexplicable amount of Euros to spend, it is big question, isn't it?
