Women in Power - Her majesty the Empress Liu

Image
  “A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman.” ― Melinda Gates In ancient times, somewhere in the world which is dominated by men, where women are treated as slaves or just as a baby machines. Men in that era were allowed have 3 wives and 4 concubines. In fact it was a matter of pride for man to have more women in his backyard. An era where ordinary women were taught to be obedient and resilient to their husbands. They were brainwashed into believing that their husbands were the superior ones. The kingdom was mighty, and mandate of heaven were strictly followed - The Royalties were supreme. And the number of women the Emperor had ? Nevermind, there is no count.

A Glimpse of my Perspective

Image
Greetings  With another comeback I, Shaik Vizdania takes on the convoluted and intriguing topic of Perspective.    Here is glimpse of a world of my own ,the one you may not be familiar with and my perspective of it.  My conscience commands me never to trust information, but to rely on knowledge, and I know better where knowledge resides -- in research. The  History what we read is a bunch of information not the knowledge, yet we still find ourselves believing it ,altering it according to us and spreading it.  Let me show you my own  perspective about   Adolph Hitler .  Don't  worry you are not mistaken and let me show you Why !

Perspective : Don't let it cloud your judgement

Image
“Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.” — Earl Nightingale Greetings         Here I am, Shaik Vizdania with an convoluted yet intriguing topic- Perspective  Ernest Holmes, an American writer once said   “Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.”    What do you think he means ?  He is emphasizing the importance of your point of view.  It is his desire to convey that our views reflect who we truly are . Let me give you a few examples    Empress Wu Zetian , the first and the only emperor of China . She was the empress of Tang dynasty of China which she ruled for over 15 years. She rose from a lowly concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang China to the Empress of the majestic China. And also she is one of the most misunderstood leader. The Chinese history has portrayed her as an evil and a vicious woman who stole the throne and had bought misfortune to China. But archaeological evidences have

Today I would like to share some knowledge about one of the dangerous things on this planet The Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is also known as the Circum-Pacific Belt. It is a long path along the pacific ocean surrounded by active volcanoes. Earthquakes occur very often in these areas. Approximately 75% of the world’s volcanoes occur within the Ring of Fire. It encircles many tectonic plates such as the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates.  It is  40,000-km (24,900-mile) in length.
