The Number of COVID 19 Cases is Misleading



In 2019, December China have announced about a new disease which is spreading across China rapidly and warned about the possibility that it has already reached other countries.

Starting from march most countries around the globe started taking the disease seriously. We started hearing about the confirmed cases in each country. In the beginning, it was relatively an accurate number but gradually the numbers started to be way far from the truth. We started to know more and more about Covid 19 and we realized how it is extremely contagious.

After a few months from entering a country, Covid 19 might infect hundreds of thousands or even millions of people depending on the population of the country and some other factors. At this point, hospitals stop taking tests for anyone. You need to be really sick to be considered for taking the test.

Gradually, the number of people who want to take the test skyrocket. Then they start to stop taking tests for even the people who are really sick. They just tell them to take certain medicines, vitamins and follow some steps to get recovered. This means that the announced number of confirmed cases is no longer accurate and actually it might be misleading. The real number might be double, triple or even twenty-fold the announced number. It is not because the authorities are not working properly, but it is out of control. They have to make difficult dicision and whatever they do they will be criticized.

Poison Positivity

 When I was in my third year in college, I had an acute depression. I had very bad grades and I had a lot of family problems. Starting from 2018, I decided to listen and read about self-development.

After I have have solved my depression problem completely, I started looking unsatisfied on many self-development post. I realized that often time, being optimistic is just a way of escaping the brutal truth. It is actually will make you less happy instead of more happy. Even too much positivity is bad for you.

Why You Cannot Achieve More Than One Goal in The Same Period of Time

One of the most common traps people fall into is trying very hard to achieve more than one goal in the same period of time. They might be very motivated to master more than one skill so they create a schedule to help them work on all their goals in a daily basis. They keep working hard on multiple goals in the same time for months without getting a satisfying result. Then they start to question their strategy in learning each skill and change it and keep repeating the same cycle again. They start to work on one goal all the time but after two or three weeks they start to work in more than one goal and the cycle keep repeating.             What I mean by a goal or a skill in this post is something like, improving your academic performance, master a musical instrument, learn a language, have a good body shape, learn drawing, be a great engineer, be great writer, learn a coding language, …etc. These are just some examples but you ...

2022/05/04 (Why Calculus is Difficult?)

 During our 12 years in school, we have learned all algebra techniques such as additions, substructions, division and multiplication. In each one of these techniques, there are many techniques. If you have an exam, you know which techniques you need to study to pass the exam.  However, in Calculus it is more complicated. In each problem, you need to use a technique before you start solving the problem. In each exam, you will have to use many techniques before you start solving any problem. You are supposed to be able to use each one of these techniques. But there are so many techniques and you don't remember all of them because you haven't used them since long time ago. Or you might be not sure which technique you need to use because some problems can be solved by more than one specific technique.  So when students start studying Calculus, the teacher assumes that they already know all the simple techniques that schools teach. Calculus teacher keep repeating this phrases ...
