Mathematics in My Daily Life

Life is all about math!

From early morning till bedtime, everything falls within math whether one is literate or illiterate, rich or poor, east or west. Everything at home is math. How one prepares, and eats every single meal is the fundamentals of math. From shopping to cooking to playing to music to art, it's the multiple of mathematical principles.

For me math is as simple as this, suppose I am preparing an evening tea for my family. I should know the total number of heads, plus the quality of the tea. The important aspects I must know is how much tea leaves, sugar, milk and other ingredients I need for a quality tea. I have to do a simple math within my head before I lay my hand in action for a tea-making job.

In everyday happenings, however, one doesn't need to be good at math class or math activities. It all needs one's imagination relating to figures, numbers and the situation.

Let me share a small anecdote that I can recall of my math class and one of my close friends. I was good at math class. I used to get a lot of appreciation from my math teacher and many friends used to see me as the math champion. I also used to top the math tests and exams, however, I had one friend who was absolutely poor in math class and now interestingly he owns a big shop, and probably he must have counted more money than I would earn in my entire life. He is more successful in financial matters than someone who is absolutely good at math class.

Interestingly it doesn't actually make one wise and rich just by being good at math class or scoring good grades in exams. Therefore, math is a poly-matter and extreme to be with, but not funny as it seems.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your, I can is more important than your, IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?" "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
