I believe God exists but how do I perceive him? The eternal question that is mind bothering and so intriguing is: how do you perceive something your senses realize, yet if your senses realize it, how come it was not perceived?
To perceive is to understand, and to realize is to know. I realize God, I know God exist but I cannot perceive, I cannot understand him. That is the most daunting frictional force that plagues and burdens me. Who knows the answer to that question; who knows who is God?
I cannot get any help from l’hôpital, newton, russel etc. not from anyone. Will I go to the grave with tears in my eyes, asking myself everyday: who is God? Why does he not allow me to know him to the fullest as I wish to.
The Infinite Eternal Question is: Qui est Dieu?
Hello Universe, who is God?

Finding contentment while searching for roots
Don’t get me wrong – I am not advocating a cure all technique. I found contentment or peace of find while looking for the roots of a quadratic equation. I’ll like to share it with you.
Suppose you are given a quadratic equation of the form: ax2 + bx + c = 0. In a given quadratic equation with double roots, α and β, one is constrained to work within the confines of given formulas like the sum of the roots and the product of the roots. Whatever other complex derivations you desire, whether in creating a new quadratic equation or playing with the roots, you must work within the confines of the sums and products.
That was what I was doing when I realized one simple truth: if I do this regularly, looking back at my resources, the sums and products of the roots, and only these, in order to create new equations or derivations, teaches me one thing: contentment. I have no other choice. I have only sums and products and no other resource to get to any other equation I desire. I have to control my desires and wishes, be satisfied with what I have before building or deriving anything new.
I wish someone else has a story to tell. Have a class on Tuesday. Been teaching my students matrices. We’ll have determinants next week.
IS THAT A MENIAL JOB OR YOU DON'T JUST LIKE YOUR SALARY TOTALS?
Often at times, I hear people think the job they are doing is menial. It beats me why anyone would continue to work at anything menial because the menial tasks are associated with servants, persons we don't think are our peers in status; whatever status you are thinking of right now.
I was in a bank recently and the guard at the gate, a tall handsome man told us: “We are challenged right now by the generator. Could you people please wait.” I smiled. I loved the image he was throwing out. I love that word, challenge, that I replied, speaking to myself: “you better beat that challenge!” And that is the mindset I have also when I face any task I don't like. I take it as a challenge, a challenge to be faced and won.
I'd rather any job or employment I don't like the pay totals be a low paying job, rather than a menial job. Anything but the menials.
If you think the work you are doing is a menial job, then you have started on a defeatist footing. You'll never like the work and you'll never work well.
Someone who keeps gnawing hard at a menial job, although unknown to himself, believes his self-respect has been invaded somewhat. He feels abused by his employer, who might be aware or not of that situation.
A menial job puts you in an endless mindless working trap that keeps you trapped!
Rather it be a low paying job you don't like. I'll never take a menial job.
If you translate the terms for your job, no matter the tasks, as low paying, then against the menials, you are working with a positive mindset. You can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. You think of improving, of doing something or going somewhere better. Remember, you're not the only one who is poor in a world where the poor are now counted in their staggering billions. You're just a unique individual who didn't want to work at a low paying job!
By calling that job description, a low paying job you don't like, you get to keep your self-respect and your employer doesn't have that tinge of conscience of being accused in the future of abusing an employee. You might even have to ask for a raise if you think you do deserve it eventually. But make sure, my brother , that you do deserve it.
So, next time you think of your work and the job you are doing, if it does not really put so much into your pockets at the end of the month, don't ever think it's a servant's occupation you are in, just wonder why you are working at a low paying job that you don't like. And go work on it so you can get that raise!
A happy working year.
