Working hard is not enough to get what you want out of life. Most successful people have worked hard to get where they are, and it can be tempting for them to claim that hard work will get you similar results. It won’t. Not on its own anyway. The most significant factor in life success is luck. Continue reading ‘Working Hard is Not Enough’
Art is entwined with magic and religion, power and passion. It is hitched to history, engaging with burning issues; shaping and shaped by historical trends and happenings. It has also had political uses, as in Soviet constructivist art, aimed at reinforcing and glorifying communism. The Surrealists thought of themselves as revolutionaries. Feminist artists have challenged ‘the male gaze’ and images of masculine experience. From Egyptian tomb art to avant-garde work today, art tells stories of creativity and social change. In galleries small and large, in every city you may visit, artworks old and new engage the eye, the imagination and the soul.

Instagram is an ideal channel for brands that work with visual products like food and fashion. I’ve also created a list of celebrities on Instagram.
Few brands are taking advantage of this channel, but here’s a list of ten who are:
The word “theory” has multiple definitions. Colloquially, “theory” can mean conjecture or an idea that hasn’t been proven yet. In the arts and sciences, however, a theory is not a guess but the explanation of a body of facts.
Colour theory describes how colours relate to one another. You probably learned colour theory in school with the colour wheel. Musical theory describes the ways that musical notes relate to each other.
Cell theory explains how cells are structured and how they divide. Germ theory explains how bacteria causes disease. Atomic theory explains how atoms are structured. Modern society is built on these ideas.
A law is a fundamental statement of scientific truth. It’s at the base of scientific knowledge. A theory is as good as it gets for a scientist. Theories do not become laws when they are proven.
In the familiar story, Sir Isaac Newton observed an apple falling and concluded that the Earth – and everything else that has mass – has a special pull that drags objects toward it. Still, Newton had a problem. He couldn’t explain how the force worked. That gravity existed everywhere and was holding the planets in place he was sure, but he didn’t know how.
Albert Einstein proposed the theory of General Relativity in 1915. Einstein’s theory explained the natural phenomenon that we call gravity. Space-time, he said, is like a fabric. The fabric is warped by the mass of objects. Einstein’s theory explains Newton’s law – and a few other fundamental laws as well.
