The key to unlocking success or seeing breakthroughs in your life: speak to God when you are in trouble or suffering; sing praises and psalms to Him when you are cheerful or happy.
When you’re in a valley, look up to God; when you’re on a mountain top, sing songs to Him. In life’s ups and downs, remember to always pray and praise.

Is Pitin the modern-day Stalin? Could he avoid landing on the same side of eternity as his evil predecessor?

Get the Pitinmug. When the number π feels marginalized in some puritan or theocratic quarters as it is allowed only to express itself to one or two decimal places, or to two or three significant figures, while such a numerical oppression is quasi-inexistent in most countries in the West.

Like the 9/11 terrorist attack, the coronavirus is a black swan that caught the world unprepared—a “known unknown” that world leaders failed to predict, which occurred sooner than later.

Founded by a group of Bible literalists-turned-theomaticians, the π = 3 Church has so far failed to appeal to pre-believers and the converted, especially those who’re allergic to school or college math, despite regularly distributing free pies and pizzas to the poor in the community.

Get the The π = 3 Churchmug. A numerical relationship or statement that most kindergarteners and elementary school students reject as being an equation, because in their minds the “answer” or the “sum” must always be on the right side of an equation.
When students don’t consider numerical liaisons like 3 = 2 + 1 and 1 = 3 – 2 as valid equations or mathematical sentences, their responses reveal a fair bit about their thinking processes.

Get the 3 = 2 + 1mug. The atheistic viewpoint that numbers and geometric shapes don’t exist but are man-made—they are mere human constructs or abstractions that are often used as imperfect tools to make sense of the physical universe, be it for modeling or predicting purposes.
No one has control over numbers outside of their minds; no one can draw a perfect circle or square; solving all those oft-impractical word problems at best shows a certain degree of algorithmic or algebraic proficiency. Are these limitations, imperfections, or formulations mere instances of mathematical nihilism?
