How to study? This is a question that every one of us has wondered about at some stage of our life. If you are a student, you still try to find out what is the most efficient way of studying. I can totally relate to your struggle when you sit in front of your table planning to study for a few hours without any distraction before taking any rest but fail to concentrate after a maximum of 15-20 minutes.

The answer is no.  So what exactly is the most efficient way of studying?                                                         ...

There have been many such great inventions and discoveries in the history of the mankind. But a few of them have been the most essential inventions. These inventions and discoveries have made a huge impact on our lives. Let us have a look at some of the most incredible of all time:   #Electricity: Benjamin Franklin is mostly credited for the discovery behind electricity. While there were many scientist that had contributed in their own ways for the  discovery of electricity, most of them experimented with static electricity. Benjamin Franklin was the first person who said that electricity had positive and negative elements and that it could flow. He conducted a kite experiment in the year 1752 to prove that lightning was actually an electrical discharge.                                            Source: "Electricidad" by Oleg Zaytsev - Under Commerci...

Let us first try to understand the meaning of procrastination before we try to find out the reason behind it. Procrastination is the action of postponing or trying to avoid something. When we procrastinate we try to convince ourselves that we have a lot of time to do something which actually is very dangerous for us. It is the main reason behind not succeeding to complete a particular task in time. A person can never achieve what he wants if he keeps on procrastinating. The only thing that comes easily is laziness which is of no use. Anything that is worth achievable requires a lot of effort and hard work.                                                 Source: "Laziness" by eugeniakertanova - Under Commercial Use Allowed License So why exactly do we procrastinate?

Adventure is something that every human in this planet seek for. It is something which is inherent in us. We are programmed to always look for something new. We get bored easily with the same old daily routine. Therefore we try to gain new experiences. It can be as simple as trying to learn a new recipe or as complicated as trying to start a new business. We as human are not built to do the same thing everyday. We constantly strive for something new. If the strive for learning or creating something new was not there, all the discoveries and inventions that science has made would not have been possible. This strive for adventure or experiencing something new is what makes us better than other animals.                                   Source: "Sweep" by Taro Taylor  - Under Commercial Use Allowed License Humans have existed on this planet for a very long time.

Well, this is a very tough topic to explain because different people have different perceptions about humor. What is funny to someone may not be funny to someone else.

I have listed below a few characteristics of why things are funny: 1)     #Surprise : One of the most common ways of creating something humorous is to lead the listener in a certain direction and then suddenly changing its route thereby creating the element of surprise and amusement. 2)     #Non-Threatening Violation : Something is funny when it breaks the usua...
