THE CONTENT VS THE CONTAINER

Regardless of how nice a CONTAINER appears, it can only attract customers. The capacity to retain customers lies in the CONTENT.
A nicely appearance without desired cm acceptable virtues, depreciates value.

Hitherto, the worth of a human is measured in regards to his inward capabilities, not his physical standard.
Remember, only insane persons desire "kom-kom" (container) and disregards the content.

Your buildups (inward accumulations) uplifts you to more greater heights than your makeups (bodily beautifications).
Decide to spice up your content today; explore your abilities and talents, learn new things, become skillful, soar beyond your course of study, rise above your occupational sphere.

DISCOVERY: ANIMALS AND REPRODUCTION.

In humans, the period of time it takes for a baby to grow in the womb to the point when it's ready to be born — called the gestation period — averages about 280 days or 40 weeks or about nine months. For a kid excited to meet a new sibling, that can seem like forever!

When you look at some animals, however, you might realize that a nine-month wait isn't all that bad. For example, when it comes to mammals, no one has to wait as long to give birth as the elephant.

It makes sense if you think about it. Elephants are the largest land mammals, and they also have the biggest brains. It takes time for an elephant baby, which weighs approximately 230 pounds when born, to develop.

How long? The average gestation period for an elephant is about 640-660 days or approximately 95 weeks or roughly 23 months. That's nearly two years!

Could you imagine waiting almost two years for a sibling to be born? The elephant's gestation period isn't even the longest in the animal kingdom, though. Here are some examples of some other really long gestation periods.

Black alpine salamanders have gestation periods that can last two to three years. The higher they live in the Alps, the colder it is and the longer their gestation period lasts.

Certain species of sharks also have long gestation periods. A basking shark carries its young almost three years, while the frilled shark has a gestation period of three and a half years.

If you look even deeper beneath the sea, you'll find another marine animal with a surprisingly-long gestation period. In April 2007, scientists discovered a deep-sea octopus over 4,500 feet deep in the ocean waters off California.

They decided to keep track of it over time when they noticed a month later that it was guarding eggs. They had to return over and over again until, finally, the babies were born after a gestation period of 53 months. That's almost four and a half years!

10 HABITS OF
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

1. Get Organized. Making a plan for
what you're going to do and when
you're going to do it will make sure
you're always ahead of the curve -
literally.
2. Don't multitask. Studies have
shown that multitasking is
physically impossible.
3. Divide it up. Studying isn't fun to
begin with, and forcing yourself
through a study marathon will only
make it worse. Dividing your work
into manageable chunks and
rewarding yourself when you finish
each chunk will make studying
(more) fun.
4. Sleep. Don't underestimate the
importance of those eight hours of
zzz's every night! Getting a good
night's rest will sharpen your focus
and improve your working memory.
5. Set a schedule. Do you work better
right after school or after you've
eaten dinner? Are you more
productive in 90-minute blocks or
half-hour spurts? Find a schedule
that works for you, and stick to it.
6. Take notes. Taking notes will not
only keep you more engaged during
class, but will also help you narrow
down what you need to study when
exam time rolls around. It's much
easier to reread your notes than to
reread your entire textbook!
7. Study. This one might be obvious,
but did you know that there's a
right and a wrong way to study?
Review your material several days
ahead of time, in small chunks, and
in different manners (for example,
write flashcards one day and take
practice tests the next). In other
words, don't cram.
8. Manage your study space. Find a
place that will maximize your
productivity. Look for places away
from the television and other
distractions.
9. Find a study group. Sitting down
with a group of people who are
learning the same things as you is
a great way to go over confusing
class material or prepare for a big
test. You can quiz each other,
reteach material, and make sure
that everyone is on the same page.
After all, teaching someone else is the best way to learn.
10. Ask questions. You're in school to
learn, so don't be afraid to do just
that! Asking for help.
