Many people assume that our world is full of enigmas or supernatural things which cannot be measured or tested, they are far from human’s understanding. The standard way of thinking about the following concept opens up with the idea that human’s thoughts are controlled by some negative strengths, which have a huge impact on individual’s perception and actions.

Riding motorcycles without a helmet can be equated to confronting a risk head on while hoping that chances will likely save you.

A pioneer of radio broadcasting, Mary Somerville was once quoted as saying how television won’t last, more specifically saying that it was a “flash in the pan” ("Top 30 Failed Technology Predictions - Listverse", 2007).

Contrary to Somerville’s prediction, the art of television has proven to be able to stand the test of time, achieving this by spawning channels, networks, movies, and actors.
