How do we comprehend the term conditioning? I am talking about behavioral conditioning. There were several theories and experiments done by some of the most famous philosophers and thinkers. Edward Thorndike and Pavlov to name the few. Their work and research has influenced our educational curriculum and disciplinary guidelines. Conditioning has become Continue reading

A Friendship message
This is my personal message to all my friendships. Please feel free to share my article or copy the link; whatever you like to do if this message has something you always wanted to say but couldn’t put it into words. A lot of times, we have so much we want to say, but can’t express it. And many times we are scared to say what we really want to say because we don’t want to lose the people we love. But isn’t it worse to lose them if you don’t say what really needs to be said? Continue reading
Christmas will never be the same
Once again, the season of Christmas and New year celebrations is here, among other festivities for other cultures and religious beliefs. It’s a happy time of the year for many as it is a time for family and friends’ gatherings. Children are happy because Continue reading
I miss you
I miss my best friend, I miss my soul mate. I miss the one person whom I have always been able to run to when things get crazy. I miss the one person that understood me with one look. I miss our unique style of communication. I miss that peaceful feeling I get when I am so close to your heart. Yes, I miss you dearly. Continue reading
Fall
‘Tis the season of fall, as I drive around I am mesmerized by the gorgeous colours of trees on the road. Each one has its beauty. The different colours all matching together. They are all in harmony. Each tree is there at the perfect place and is the perfect colour. Whether it’s fading out the green into a yellow-green, or if it is this golden yellow colour all on its own or a mix of yellow and orange in the same tree or just a bright orange or a full red tree. Continue reading
Driving
Ever notice the similarities between driving and life itself. Ever get into a zone where you observe every move like it’s a movie and as it is playing out, you see yourself as the car you are driving. Well, I have. I have seen it several times. I have connected with the vehicle I was driving so much that I felt this was Me living my life and everything that comes my way are the exact same thing. Continue reading
We are changing
Time passes; You grow older and the people in your life do too. But we don’t realize it until their behaviour changes. It may start with the oldest generation you are in contact with; your grandparents for instance. Then you notice your own parents are getting older and changing in many ways. All of a sudden you look around and it seems that everybody had gotten older; even yourself. But where were you Continue reading
Divided Attention
We all have things in our lives that we focus on more than others. And naturally so. You could be after accomplishing a goal or after the person of your dreams or after obtaining the best the world has to offer. And while it’s totally fine that you pursue your dreams and go after your goals, don’t loose sight of what’s truly important in your life; what you do have. Don’t allow your attention to get so divided that you can’t seem to appreciate the little things, the present moment and the current people in your life, for the bigger things, the future and the people you wish to have in your life.
What’s left
I sit here on my bed surrounded by papers, cards, envelopes and letters. Organizing my mess, looking through years of accumulated memories. My life as far as I can remember. From the late stage of my childhood into my adulthood and through several stages of my life. What’s left of that life I lived so far? Continue reading
Travelling Spoils and Humbles
I admit that my experience of travelling has spoiled me dramatically. Yet, among the things I have seen and moments I lived, it humbled me more than I could ever imagine. Truly, it’s amazing that one thing can have two opposite effects at the same time. Travelling for me; it enriched me with many valuable lessons. In the end, I conclude that it spoiled me a lot yet humbled me to the highest degree. Continue reading
Types of people
I have read a few articles on the different kinds of people in the world. Some were written from the angle of psychology while some relating to zodiac signs. Some articles discuss types of people based on social status and business related comparisons. Some say there are 9 types of people while some say there are 5 and others say there are 3. Numbers are being thrown around as a title to their articles to prove their thesis or point of view based on their expertise. But here I am, without any Continue reading
Gedo
How do I start to express how I feel right now. I’m speechless. How do I explain the pain I feel in my heart. There are no words really. This pain is like your organs are being twisted inside your body to the point you can’t breath. Even when you cry, you do it from deep inside. Tears fall down uncontrollably. You don’t know how to stop it. You don’t wanna stop it. It doesn’t really make you feel better. But you can’t help it. You just have to release whatever you feel. Holding it in would be the worst thing you can do. Continue reading
The wait is over
So you plan for something and it seems like there is lots of time until the moment you have waited for. There is anticipation, anxiety and some expectation. But nothing happens the way you imagine it. Events unfold in ways you never thought it could. You wait and you wait and sometimes you think there is still lots of time to do this and say that. Little did you know, time is passing while you are not paying attention. It’s actually faster than you thought. The moment comes and the moment goes. You only realize it after it had passed. And the wait is finally over. Continue reading
AFRAID
Sometimes what you need is not what you want. And what you want is not what you need. To solve this puzzle is to search within yourself to understand who you truly are. Same statement, same words, different meaning. What you understand out of this statement may very well be a whole different thing from what another understands. Why is that? Continue reading
Ways to Learn
It’s no secret that every individual has their own method to learn and retain information. Learning is an ongoing fact of life. Learning never stops. We are constantly seeking knowledge. We are endlessly asking questions. We are eagerly trying to feel safe in our environment and that can only come from the confidence of knowing. Continue reading
