Flow is a state of mind in which a person is totally concentrated in an activity and is and is at an optimum level of performance.

ax² + bx + c = 0 (ax² + bx + c)*4a = 0*4a 4a²x² + 4abx + 4ac = 0 (4a²x² + 4abx + 4ac) + b² = 0 + b² (4a²x² + 4abx + b²) + 4ac = b² (2ax+b)² + 4ac = b² (2ax + b)² = b² - 4ac 2ax + b = ± √(b² - 4ac) 2ax = -b ± √(b² - 4ac) x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a

HUMAN TOUCH = HAPPINESS Positive human interaction via touch leads to a happy human being

Human connections through senses: MEDITATION After thinking about what really makes us HUMAN in first place, I thought it is extremely important to fully realize ourselves and learn who we are. As a human being, we do have unique ability to use 5 senses;taste, touch, see, hear, and smell. All five senses play important roles in connecting...

"The lesson is thus the old Lacanian one: there is no big Other.
