6. You must realise that a mentally quiet mind is crucial for success.

The argumentative, criticising, opinionated, egotistical and sceptical mind is the mindset of failure. It is better to learn from every situation by keeping a quiet mind which is free of all bias. This is because by criticising, you will also criticise the correct thoughts which have come from the subconscious.  You will therefore live a life which is devoid of the power of your own subconscious mind. In this case, your actions, behaviors, attitudes and thoughts will all be weaker and lead you to weakness. Read the rest of this entry »

Once every couple of weeks I’ll receive an email from someone asking for ways to tell if someone likes you or not.

Knowing if someone likes you romantically or not can be a difficult call to make on the outset, and that’s why we look at body language to help give us clues into what the other person is thinking. Read the rest of this entry »

In this post we are going to look at how to square any two digit numbers.
[private]Firstly, to square a number means to multiply that number by itself.

So 27² means 27 X 27

When squaring any number we need to either work up or work down from a BASE number. We acknowledge that a base number is a whole number closest to the number we want to multiply. So taking the above example of 27² we would use the base number of 30. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi all,

[private]I stumbled across a really neat video on youtube that breaks down multiplying large numbers into smaller chunks.

It’s not my video, someone elses so all credit due to the author.

Grab a piece of paper and give it a try, it really works.

Some more techniques for remembering stalagtites and stalagmites.

Women’s tights (tites) come down, so we know that stalagtites hang down! We don’t need to remember stalagmites.

When hearing stalagmites, you might think of those little insects, “mites” and they crawl around on the ground. On the ground so they grow up.

Take a look at the picture below:

[private]Using your right hand you can count up to 31 using Binary.

Starting from the right and with the thumb, we assign the values like so:

Thumb = 1

Index finger = 2

Middle finger = 4

Ring finger = 8

Baby finger = 16

A fist = 0

To make 13 in binary, you would need to keep raised the fingers that all add up to 13.

in this case we would keep up the ring finger (8), the middle finger (4) and the thumb

(1) as they all add up to 13.

Try doing 30.

You would hold up all fingers except for your thumb!

It’s really simple and allows you to count up to 31 on one hand!

To make the binary numbers bigger, simply follow the pattern onto the next hand,

starting with the baby finger of your left hand:

Baby finger = 32

Ring finger = 64

Middle finger = 128

Index finger = 256

Thumb = 512

Incorporating both hands allows you to count to 1023!

What fingers would you hold up to get 444? ?
