From Scars to Stars
When you stop dwelling on the wrongs others did to you and decide to forgive them, God wants to free you from any sense of blame, disgrace, or humiliation, and puts on you new labels like “Anointed,” “Valuable,” and “Masterpiece” to bless and reward you that you won’t remember the past injustices done to you.
The life of Joseph, as recounted in the Bible, who was thrown into a pit to die, then sold by his brothers to slavery, and later wrongly accused and imprisoned for not acceding to his boss’s wife’s sexual favors were some of his scars; however, Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams while in prison, his appointment by Pharaoh to rule over Egypt, and rescuing his own brothers from famine were some of his stars. Joseph was someone who went from scars to stars—from pit to prison to palace.

Tokenized Math
When math collectibles (coins & stamps, vintage puzzles & toys, out-of-print books & classics, and antique measuring instruments & calculators), math cards, urban math definitions, IMO or Fields medals, NFTs, memes, and the like can be broken up into smaller parts that can be sold individually, thus making fractional ownership of both digital or physical assets possible.
Guesstimate how much the global tokenized math business could be worth if collectors started to trade their precious assets in the metaverse.

Wootube
The videos of live lessons by Australian superstar high school math teacher, Eddie Woo, who has successfully put the magic in math, and his YouTube channel that woos educators with classroom teaching ideas and interviews about mathematics.
Considering his difficult formative years when he’s frequently bullied and discriminated in the predominantly white school milieu he’s in, and taking into account that math wasn’t his favorite school subject, Wootube is nothing short of a miracle—a living proof that God took notice when others meant to harm Eddie, and today He’s rewarding him with a double portion of His blessing.
Palmematics
When the lines and curves on someone’s palm are expressed as an equation or formula—they often resemble popular curves that are linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic.
The 8-year-old boy’s knowledge of palmematics impressed his mathematician father, who wondered whether he might have blessed with a precocious son.

Pisomnia
Short for “Pi Insomnia.” When someone struggles to sleep after listening to a math lesson, or reading a geometry book, that repeatedly mentions the irrational number π.
Guesstimate how many folks worldwide suffer even from a mild form of pisomnia, where presently there seems to be no cure for the mathematically induced mental condition.
Algebra
The branch of mathematics that turns simple-minded people into symbol-minded citizens, who work out the values of unknowns x’s, y’s, z’s with the help of constants a’s, b’s, c’s.
