TEACH INDIA – Let’s learn to teach

We've just identified the perfect solution to illiteracy – YOU.

After phenomenal success of the “Lead India” drive, The Times of India (TOI) has launched a all-new initiative – TEACH INDIA: Let’s learn to teach. Under this initiative, TOI is encouraging young citizens of India to donate a few hours a week only for 3 months towards teaching underprivileged, undereducated children from our neighborhood. It is not a nation-wide initiative, but it is in fact a nation-building initiative! It is solely based on one single motive – your willingness to teach the underprivileged, to remove the illiteracy from our superb nation and in the process help the children to live a better life.

It involves various programmes including basic education, support classes and even story-telling. The type of programme a volunteer is assigned to, will be decided after initial assessment by the NGO, keeping your location and time preference in mind. One has to devote a few hours every week for initial 3 months, later on s/he can continue depends on the experience / willingness. This drive is supported by almost 60 of India’s most committed NGO’s, corporates, schools, and is recognized by the UN Volunteers.

Come on Indians, the nation is calling you… seeking your selfless help to eradicate illiteracy… to come forward and help change the future of a child forever. Your few hours a week can change the future of our youth! We owe a lot to this beautiful nation; it’s the pay back time now! I have already applied and am hoping that I would get this wonderful chance to serve my country.

If you also share my opinion, hop in immediately: visit http://teach.timesofindia.com now for more details and complete the application formalities. If you happen to be part of this initiative, do not forget to buzz me here – we’ll probably shake hands sometime.

Do you know how Simplicity looks in real life?

According to Indian history, a legendary person has urged the young generation to adopt Simplicity. He said "Live Simple, Think Big."

I know, this is a great theorotical statement with little practical relevance. But recently I spotted such a real-life example of Simplicity, that I am forced to change my opinion...

Check out the following picture of the Tamil Superstar RAJANIKANT...


Now, check the model of the mobile RAJANIKANT uses... He is so down-to-earth and simple, but he is THE superstar of Indian Movie industry, way above Shahrukh Khan & Amitabh Bachchan.

Now, THAT'S SIMPLICITY...

Absolutely amazing! Beauty of Maths!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this... (From a strictly mathematical viewpoint)


What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

= 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

= 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

= 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


AND

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

= 12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and

Attitude will get you there; it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
