Life's Lessons

The More I fail,
The More I fall,
The More I suffer,
The More I quiver,

The More I realize that..

Talent is useless without Attitude
Strength is useless without Persistence
Power is useless without Compassion
Courage is useless without Wisdom
Failure is useless without Learning
Success is useless without Humility
And
Life is useless without Purpose

My Religion

Love is my God
Compassion my Religion
Rationality my Doctrine
And
Life my Pilgrimage.

Knowledge vs Wisdom

The chemistry teacher walked in to the class; holding a beaker filled with a transparent liquid. He placed the beaker on his desk; pulled his ring from his finger and dropped it into the beaker.

Teacher: Students! I’ve dropped my 99.9% pure KDM gold ring into this solution of hydrochloric acid treated to 300K temperature. Will the ring melt?

First Bencher: No Sir! . Gold (Au) needs an oxidizing agent to dissolve it. To oxidise Gold should be stripped of 3 electrons (Au3+); for which a reduction potential of greater than 1.50V is required. But, Hydrochloric acid (HCl) can provide only H+ ions; H+ ions have a reduction potential of 0.00V. So HCl cannot dissolve gold

Teacher: Any other answers?!

Last Bencher: No! it won’t melt. If it would, you wouldn’t have dropped the ring into the container!
