Numbers are such an essential thing that helps us to count, calculate, measure or label things (Ref: Wikipedia). Although it is impossible to explain everything about the number, here, I will present my observation. I find it essentially everywhere,  we use it for several things, for example, we count years, weeks, days, time and so on. 

In the context of a living being, the lifetime of survival, number of heartbeats, pH of blood or body fluid. Isn't that all fascinating? Such sort of numeral quantification has traditionally assisted many scientists to build a constructive intuition and understand life. 

Another example is the picture shown above. This picture posses a specific number of pixels that spreads across its width and height.  Since the image is coloured, we additionally have 3 channels RGB  (Red, Green, Blue). Each of these pixels in this picture is assigned with an intensity varying from 0-255. Therefore, it does represent a 3D matrix of cells that contains numbers with a value between 0 and 255. Isn't that interesting, any layman people may not imagine it.

Concept of K-I-H-L

The pursuit of excellence is often attributed to a combination of four factors: Knowledge, Intelligence, Hard Work, and Luck. However, attaining all four may not be entirely feasible, particularly given that Intelligence and Luck are beyond our control.

While certain factors may remain elusive, the steadfast commitment to hard work can empower individuals to navigate and shape their paths to excellence.

Way to Move Forward

While climbing Mt. Takao in Tokyo, Japan. A midst this life journey, an important and critical philosophical aspect that continuously haunts my mind is, "understanding oneself". This self-awareness can potentially provides the necessary vision to progress, navigate amid obstacles, and move freely.  Further, there is another important concept that comes in;  "Ignore and explore".  By this, I mean ignoring what we feel is unimportant and exploring the uncharted aspects of life.   However,  there is often a situation where we can't do anything except wait and wait until external events unfold and show us a path to move. O ften resulting in a state of hallucination where we can get lost in a cycle of thoughts, finally forcing us to embark on something completely new. Therefore,  initiating new endeavours in life and accepting the changes should be ubiquitous activities. Besides, it's also important to note that  many aspects of life lack quantifiable ...

Experience: A valuable possession

                                View of Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto, Japan For much of our life, we pay significant efforts in  excelling in our careers,  building relationships, making good friends, having good teachers, being good students and  make good relations.  I believe having all of them is a great blessing, but unfortunately, all of us are not so lucky or well-deserved to have them all.  Working for them has always been difficult for everyone; sometimes, we may give up.  But, whether we succeed or fail, we keep accumulating an important thing during our journey, it is called an "experience". For every individual, it is different, and mine is unique too.                 As I grew old, I discovered that "experience" is my  most valuable possession . It may be filled with  happiness, sadness, struggle, or whate...
