Let Go and Let God

When you realize that your effort or past, or what people think or say about your shortcomings, inadequacies, or failures, doesn’t determine your future, but God does, because He is in control of the universe and of your life.
Until you let go and let God Be in charge of your life, it’s hard for you to see His blessings flow through your life—God is concerned about what concerns you, because He wants you to experience his power, not just knowing about Him and His goodness.

Mathematical Doodles

The untapped tool that has hardly been used by oft-boring or uncreative math writers to convey difficult concepts to their lay readers—when math educators-turned-doodlers or artists-turned-math writers could disrupt math publishing such that the world’s most disliked school subject needn’t be terminal once it becomes optional.
The use of mathematical doodles could be seen as a visual version of math guides for dummies, idiots, and morons—an intersection of math, art, and creativity to raising the quantitative literacy of millions of semi-innumerate people worldwide.

The Cost of the Coronavirus

When Covid-19 has a hidden price attached to it: those living alone or in nursing homes; those disregarding public health measures to protect themselves and others; and those losing their loved ones prematurely or their jobs suddenly.
Be it opportunist corrupt or inept politicians lying to the public to remain in power, selfish customers hoarding essential items, or covidiots refusing to wear a mask or practicing social distancing, they all have to pay for their actions (and inactions)—the cost of the coronavirus is just a breath, lie, or inconvenience away.

Math in the Dark

When problem solving with the lights off could help trigger your imaginary thinking, which could be a catalyst to experiencing that aha! moment in producing a creative or elegant solution to a wicked math problem.
Guesstimate many math educators worldwide could get their imaginations light up if they decided to do math in the dark—when darkness triggers their intuition for that long-awaited lateral solution.

#31415PI

A password of choice among math geeks, who secretly wished that “every day is pi day.”
By logging in #31415PI, North Korean hackers succeeded in transferring millions of dollars from the bank accounts of some US math profs to that of Chairman Kim.

Mask the Math

When rogue, inept, or corrupt opportunistic politicians downplay the high number of infections and fatalities plaguing their countries, by giving an oft-innumerate or gullible public a faux sense of security, who often loosely follow the health measures in place.
Fake right-wing “leaders” from the United States, Brazil, and India notoriously share a number of common denominators: use race or religion as a trump card, mask the math, and refuse to make social distancing or mask wearing mandatory.

1

The devil’s number that makes you feel bad or look stupid if you are not ranked top in everything you plan to do in life—the lie that not being first is only reserved for the weaklings.
Singapore’s obsession in being No. 1 in business, education, and technology is taking its toll on its oft-underrated, but overpaid citizens, who are told that if they’re not the world’s most productive or smart workers, they’re no different from their counterparts in any developing country.
