PLEASE DO READ IT COMPLETELY...........I feared being alone until I learned to like myself. I feared failure until I realized that I only fail when I don't try. I feared success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself. I feared people's opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway. I feared rejection until I learned to have faith in myself. I feared pain until I learned that it's necessary for growth. I feared the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies. I feared life until I experienced its beauty. I feared death until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning. I feared my destiny, until

Topic : History of the Metre

Early historyThe first units of length were based on the human body, the most obvious example being the foot. Other body-based units are the cubit, which is the length of the arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger (roughly 18 to 22 inches), and the span, which is the distance between the tip of the thumb and little finger when the fingers are extended. The hand is still used to measure the height of a horse. Needless to say, these units can vary widely from person to person, and an example of allowing for this variance can be seen in the 12th century Scottish definition for the inch, which was taken to be the thumb width from three men - one big, one med

  A Teacher's LessonThere is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where
