Who you have, not what you have

It is the presence of God in your life, not your possessions, that makes you a success—stop chasing material things and start a personal relationship with Him.

You may be financially naked, educationally unqualified, and not connected to people of influence, yet if you've faith in the power of the presence of God in your life, you can expect your nothings to turn into somethings—who you have, not what you have is what matters.

We Are One in Pi.

When math geeks are connected to each other by their shared love for arguably the most beautiful constant in mathematics: π’s beauty, ubiquity, and utility never fail to bring and bond them together.

Just as a number of white racists and supremacists are united by the xenophobic policies of Donald J. Trump, so a number of recreational mathematicians are drawn by the occurrence or presence of pi in the least unexpected places, who love telling the non-math people: “We are one in pi.”

Do a Math Trump

When you irresponsibly or prematurely walk away from a math test or exam, instead of waiting until the end of the paper, when everyone is allowed to leave the room, because you can’t handle the difficult or brain-unfriendly questions, especially after boasting to the whole world that you have a “genius IQ.“

During the 60-minute math test the other day, everybody was surprised to see Don do a math trump, who consoled himself that he could always pay a Shapiro to sit for his SAT if he failed again.

No Mask, No Math

The slogan by math educators for their pseudoscientific or conspiracist audience, who argue that mask wearing or social distancing is ineffective in protecting them and others, especially for those who now have a certain degree of immunity after recovering from Covid-19.

Pastors tell their congregations: “no mask, no mass”; principals tell their classes: “no mask, no math.”
