Brain and heart.

A friend of mine once told me that it took true manhood to have a strong heart. He went ahead to state that it was better to have a heart than a brain. Due to my curious nature, I was forced to ask why that is so. Him, being the confident orator that he is, pointed out that when someone is brain dead, they were still alive because their hearts were still beating. Pretty reasonable, isn't it? However, as I begun to ponder on this mentality, I came to the conclusion that as much as he was right, he lacked the capacity to think that maybe it was more the mind that the "heart" that dealt with valiance and all other characteristics that would make people claim that one has a strong and pure heart.
This obvioulsy sounds superficial and is mostly biology than psychology. But what is psychology? This is the study of the human mind; exactly, mind and not heart......
This blog is incomplete and it shall only be complete once I can start up a good debate via my followers.

Ending ushering in new beginnings.

Between January of 2010 and March of the same year, I have been haunted by the idiocratic believes that the world is coming to an end on May 21st (of the same year). Now, this feeling has been burning inside me more violently than any force of nature or any unsatisfied desire.
However, on March 25th (specifically today), I found a new beginning to a possible and potential end.
The IGCSE had begun with the ICT practical paper. On this paper I was shocked my my utter lack of preparation for the test that lay before me. Lucky enough, after some battles with failure, I found my way around the paper with no worries.
I realised that as much as I thought that I had ripped that paper to shreds with my intellectual prowess, I might have also failed to do so.
FAILUIRE! Not my strong suits but as soon as I noticed that I might have failed, I threw caution to the wind and ran for the hills with my head up high knowing full well that that paper could define my life either way without depending on how I performed it. Whether I failed or not, this paper would change my life and lead to it to a path that I had not anticipated.
The end of this paper gave me a whole new look on life; it ushered a new beginning.
