Why do we like adventure?

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.

Humans have existed on this planet for a very long time. Our ancestors had to go hunting to collect food and they kept migrating from one place to another in search for shelter and food. The struggle to survive during those days was enormous and people had no other option. Nowadays, we do not have to go to the jungle for food and do not have to roam from one place to another for shelter. Although the struggle to survive in the modern world is relatively easier than the ancient days, the instinct of seeking adventure has not left us.

Sometimes, we get so much involved in wanting for success, fame  and money that we tend to forget our own self. We tend to take our existence for granted. Adventure somewhat makes us realize our existence and helps us to pay attention to our surroundings. That is why people like to explore new places or gain new experiences which gives them a sense of deep satisfaction which materialistic things cannot give us. This human quality of seeking new experiences will remain with us as long as human species exist on this planet.

Please let me know your views on why you like adventure.

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. However, have you ever wondered how can we sit for long hours to study just a day or two before exams? This is because of having no other option but to study during exams.

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

Job or Business?

Job and Business are two completely different aspects to earn a living. However, when the question arises which one is better, it totally depends upon people's own perceptive. Some may think doing a job is better as it gives you a sense of security and a fixed payment on the first of every month.  Whereas, some people prefer business as there is a sense of authority while doing a business. It is not appropriate to point out one aspect to be better than the other but we can definitely analyze the pros and cons of both the aspects.

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...
