Have you seen or heard about the movie “Atlantis: The Lost Empire?” If not, it was Disney’s first sci-fi movie which was released in 2001 and focuses on fictional kingdom of Atlantis which was drowned and lost underwater due to a massive tidal wave cause by a distinct explosion. Well, though Atlantis is a fictional island which was mentioned in Plato’s literary works and no concrete remains related to such kingdom have been found in reality, there are various underwater cities which are worth exploring if you like to dive deeper.

Another semester and another midterm exam, I genuinely wonder why do these exams exist. Do they train me to solve the problems of the world or do these train me to take exams in the organization I am going to work in?

I am a huge fan of quotes and I'm not sure why. Even if I had to assume, they'd be condensed experiences that remind us but we're not the only ones to get through those feelings or circumstances. They are chunks of knowledge which have been extracted from many other past situations that can correlate with our own experiences or motivate us to step in those directions.

If someone asks me what was the most important part of our human body, I would immediately answer it as the brain. Without a healthy mind, anyone could be easily directed to destruction in their lives. One might argue everyone has a healthy mind as they mature with age. It is not true, our minds get the least exercise once we cross the college phase in our lives. I don't blame us, but the nature of our commitments such as work, family, etc. keeps increasing over the years and we hardly find any time to read books. No matter how hard we work out in gyms, a dedicated frequent workout is a necessity for having a superior mind.
