Mathematics of Life

 We solve problems and create solutions with maths together – we add our “understanding” by networking, we subtract our “weaknesses” by collaborative thinking, we multiply our “knowledge” by emergent learning, and we divide our “happiness” by sharing. That’s the + – x / of our life with maths. How about yours?  Does attitude count?

Metaphors of Life

Life without salt is tasteless, life without sugar is joyless, life without goals is hopeless. Life without love is worthless.

Life without learning is meaningless. Life without money is sadness. Life without you is…… still thinking.

Is this the most important lesson of our life?

Research metaphor – How a baby is borned?

Collaborative team research bears a number of similarities to the different stages of pregnancy, starting with the embyro, then the mum feeds the new life with nutrients, and taking care of the womb with great care. Then there comes the time when the baby inside starts to move, and the mum feels the joy and pain of her every move.

It takes time and patience to carry the baby.  The mum normally would let the baby womb listens to the music, the Mozart effect.  This allows the baby to listen.  With the love and care of the mum, the womb is ready to join this wonderful new world.

Finally here comes the birth of a new life – a baby.  Like the rainbow, it shines!

It comes with great pain, and I could understand how difficult it is to bear a baby.  That may be the scarest but happiest moment in a mum’s life.

Is research scary ?

Is this just the start of the collaborative research journey? 

I hope you like this Silent Voice. I value life….
