A day in my life without electricity

A day in my life without electricity. I'd probably cry. Firstly, I would not be able to use my computer, because, my computer would not be able to work without electricity. Then, I would not be able to watch television, because that uses, electricity too. I would also be very cold in the winter, and very hot in the summer because the heater and air conditioners would not work without electricity. It would also be incredibly dark during nighttime, because as you guessed it, lights need electricity to work. Then, I would also not be able to use the microwave, as it requires electricity. But, at least I will be able to play soccer. So there is a bright side to this.

Learn how to die, and you learn how to live.

This is possibly one of the best sayings in the book. It captures the entire book in one phrase. It is true, because if you learned how to die, and you accept the fact that you will have to die one day, then you will realize, that you will be able to live life to the fullest.In the book, Morrie knows that his days are numbered, and that he will die in several months. However, in that several months, he did things, that most people don't do their entire lives. He talked to old friends, and slowed down life, to understand what life truly means and what was the purpose of life. He also did something that very few people have done. He said good-bye, and he showed that he loved everyone. Before he died, he imparted as much knowledge as possible to Mitch, like a teacher teaching the class before the class ended.

Don't assume it is too late to be involved in something...

I think this is a great aphorism. This is because this aphorism is so useful. Just this week, I have proved this aphorism right. I learned that it is never too late to ask for help, and that its better late then never. I think that this aphorism would have been so helpful in my life so far. Once, when I was in grade 5, I did not do one of my homework, and the teacher told me that I could still do it, and that I could learn something. I gave him the lame excuse, that it was too late, and that there was no point in doing it. On week later, one of the questions in the final test, was from the homework. My friends got the question right, but I got it wrong. As it turned out, the two points from that question, was the difference between a B and a A. Many other times, I gave the excuse, that it is too late to do something, just because it is too late. But when I look back, I realized, that it is never too late.

Be hopeful, but not foolishly hopeful. I think that this is a good aphorism, because if you are hopeful, then life feels much better, because you also feel more optimistic, and more happier. However, if you are too hopeful, then you will expect things that are nearly impossible, and then when you don't get it, you become miserable. I myself, have witnessed and experienced this before. Sometimes, I set the expectations so high, that when they do not happen, I become hopelessly miserable. I also tend to be sad for several days after that. But when I set the expectations to a possible amount, I am satisfied with what I get.  This shows that when you do not hope for too much, then we will not be too greedy. I think that this is important.

How do electrolytes work in our body?

Electrolytes are like electrical nerves in our body. They transmit messages from the brain to all the other parts of the body. That is why when we flush all the electrolytes out of our body, we will get very sick, and possibly, we may die. Electrolytes are very important because they are like our nerves. They are the communication path between the brain and our nerves. Without them, our brain would not be able to send any messages to our nerves. If this stops, then we will not be able to breathe, or move our body parts. An electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium. Because they generally consist of ions in solution, electrolytes are also known asionic solutions, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible. They also use many different nerves, so the electrolytes, are like the messengers between my brain, and its nerves.

Blog: What is lightning? Why does wearing rubber shoes help you during a storm?

Lightning. It is one of the most powerful natural phenomenon, and the heat produced by the lightning strike, is as hot as the surface as the sun. As long as you study the field of electricity, then you must have studied lightning. Lightnings usually occur during storms, but they can also occur during violent volcanic eruptions when tonnes of ash is spewed, resulting in ash clouds. However, they may also occur during dust storms. Lightning is usually succeeded by thunder, and the particle at the tip of the bolt, may reach speeds of up to 60000 m/s and can reach temperatures of 30000 degrees celsius. Lightning storms occur up to 16 million times a year, and they are more likely to occur in tropical zones, where warm weather fronts collide with cold weather fronts on a daily basis. Singapore, has one of the highest frequencies with lightning strikes in the world. Studies have shown, that islands that are near the equator, have the most amount of lightning activity in the world. Why does wearing rubber shoes help people during a storm. Firstly, rubber is a material that is not very smooth. So, if you were to walk in the rain during a storm through huge puddles of water, then you would be less likely to slip and fall. However, the main reason why experts advise using rubber shoes during storms is because rubber is an insulator of electricity. Storms, are classified as huge thunderstorms, where it rains heavily and steadily and also has many lightning strikes. Lightning strikes only hurt or injure people, when there is a way for it to pass from the position on the human body that it hit, to the ground. If the electric charge can find its way back into the ground, then the person who got hit by the lightning would have an electric shock. However, if the person was wearing rubber shoes, then the electric charge would not be able to reach the ground. This means that the person would not suffer a shock, and that the person would be relatively unharmed. However, the rubber shoes is not a full proof method of escaping an electric shock. If, the person still had something that was touching him, and was connected to the ground, or vice versa, then he would still suffer an electric shock. However, I shall go one step further, and see if the presence of rain has any effects on the flow of electric charges. Water, is not a very good conductor of electricity. However, when it has salt or a chemical in it, it becomes a surprisingly good conductor of electricity. It can transfer electricity through it without losing most of the electric charges power. So if the lightning hit the water on the ground, there is a good possibility that you might get injured. However, if you were wearing rubber shoes, then you could escape.

Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others.
I think this is one of the best aphorisms that Morrie has ever said. This phrase reveals one of the deepest flaws of humans, their inability to forgive others. I think that if we were to listen to this then many of us would lead happy and peaceful lives. I am not very good at forgiving myself, but can forgive others pretty well. I think that if I can just forgive myself more often, then I will be more happier, because I will stop feeling so miserable, and I will start looking at life with a more positive outlook then I currently see life. I think that many people make one mistake, and then sulk for one mistake. I think that people should not cry over spilt milk.

When you are utterly frustrated or angry express these feelings you don't have to be nice all the time, just most of the time.

This aphorism means that when you need help, you should get as much help as possible. If not, you may regret it later on when the problem gets bigger or you cannot handle the problem by yourself. This advice is simple, but if you follow the advice, problems can be solved very easily. I myself, have witnessed this advice first-hand, after that I realize that the only reason that the problem was solved, was that  the person who had bolted their feelings up for so long, become sad and depressed. When they finally, release their feelings, it is like a volcano, and it is much more worse then when they would have normally release their feelings.
