A little thought on Math

Just wanna record one of my sudden tiny thoughts here.

I have always loved Maths for the imperishableness of its strong principle and formulas through the age. When a certain mathematical theory is invented or discovered, it's truly proven and could be applied under all circumstances. It doesn't change it's rules nor it becomes inapplicable due to certain cases. However, it requires the clear analysis on the whole situation and discretion of the person on manipulating the formula. As for me , that's the most interesting part of Mathematics! No matter how hard or " weird" a certain question is, bear in mind that u just have to strongly hold to the mathematical principles that u have learned, and with a little analysis done on what the question wants, you'll then know to use what strategy or formulas to solve the whole thing.

It's just like our life. The ones we have learned, as a result of accumulation of experience or through education - the moral values and your principles of life is incredibly similar to those mathematical formulas. As well as we strongly behold to the things we have faith in, they will always guide us through all the vicissitudes that we are going to encounter during the voyage of life. The thing is, do you have the clear vision on the plight you are having now? You can't probably arrange for the strategy without analysing the problem beforehand. As the saying goes,' Practice makes perfect", a mathematics expert will not be born without having to test the knowledge by himself. Just like what we do in school, we practice so that we fully understand how to utilise the formula. Only through the practice, we make ourselves flexible enough, or, should say the formula flexible enough to be used in different situations. Life is nothing different. A human being must have encountered a certain problem before he gain the knowledge of solving it. Nothing is exempted including our body immune system!

The way we learn math is just like how we learn to behave as a human being. To live we must not lose our faith and our basic principles as a man. Losing them is like losing the guidance for your inner self and you'll somehow wander in the outside world without even knowing that you are lost.
