Scholarly findings on the self-improvement potential of the human brain can now be used in everyday life, by ordinary people.

He explains that life is a plurality of forces striving after an increase in the feeling of power, until ...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is posed with the ...

“The Burial of the Dead.”

Eliot begins “The Wasteland with the section named, “The Burial of the Dead.” The central theme has been declared, via the title, before the stanzas begin. There is a fine line between life and death; life can come from death, and life also forces death. This is particularly evident in the final stanza:

“That corpse you planted last year in your garden, / Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year? / Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?” Eliot’s idea is of a dilapidated place occupied by people who suffer in an in-between condition, rather like a ...

Effective leadership can be likened to the stock market. Fortunes are not made in a single day; but they are made on a daily basis, bit by bit.
