Galileo Galilei's curiosity about the heavenly bodies made him the first person to use a telescope to study the moon, the sun, the planets and the stars.

2. A scientist is logical and systematic:

Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful an

d accurate record keeping.

3. A scientist is open-minded:

4. A scientist is intellectually honest:

Isaac Newton built his laws of motion on the previous work of Galileo and others.

Marie Curie was the first person ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice. It was not surprising considering how hard she worked.

Teacher Day Celebration

Teacher's Day is celebrated as a tribute to the valuable contribution made by teachers to the society by imparting knowledge and enlightening and shaping the career of students.

For students, Teacher's Day is an occasion to pay reverence and gratitude to teachers for their selfless effort in shaping their career and enriching the education system in the process. 

When is Teacher's Day celebrated? The date for celebrating this special event varies from country to country across the world.

 Most of the schools and institutions make elaborate preparations for the celebrations. The ceremony usually kicks off with a warm Teacher's Day speech paying respect and thanking teachers for their contribution. This is often followed by a range of colorful cultural programs, feast and other activities which make the event special and memorable.

A few traditional ways of celebrating the event include presenting colorful flowers, beautiful Teacher's Day cards or gifts to the teacher as tokens of love and admiration. But students often try innovative ways and ideas to celebrate Teacher's Day. 

Some rely on creative and attractive Teacher's Day greeting cards adorned with captivating and touchy quotes and messages to convey the indebtedness unfailingly and also to capture the wonderful moments of the event. Others select lovely and popular Teacher's Day quotes to convey their inner feeling of love for their teacher.

All of us have been students at some stage of our life and have benefited from our teachers. Celebration of Teacher's Day is a wonderful opportunity especially for all of us to show our gratitude and appreciation to our teachers. Teacher's are the education for children and from their teaching we have our future.

The importance of Teachers in our life cannot be overstated . The primacy of teachers in our lives cannot be told more effectively than this. Teachers would the lives that they influence. Lessons learned from teachers remain with user students throughout life. They-the teachers- break down barriers and reach into our souls Breathes there a student with soul so dead/who never to himself hath said, “Thanks, Oh Teacher, thanks. You made a man out of an ignoramus. Teachers are tired with their workload and responsibilities. They have their own families, financial and life stresses that challenge them along with everyone else. And yet when they come into the class they almost step into a different radiant personality. We should therefore, always respect our teachers. Teachers need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students is appreciated.

ANG KALIKASAN NOON AT NGAYON

Madalas itinuturo sa paaralan ang kahalagahan ng likas na yaman natin ngunit ano nga ba ang kalikasan noon at nagayon?

Kung ikukumpara natin ang kalikasan noon at ngayon, mapapansin natin ang ilang pagbabago na nagaganap sa ating kapaligiran.Noon ang kalikasan natin ay sagana sa mga likas na yaman, maraming puno, sari8wang hangi8n, magandang kapaligiran, tanawin at malinis na dagat at ilog.Pero ngayontayo ay namumuhay wsa isang kalikasan na animoy bangungot na kikitil sa sanlibutan at walang buhay na kapaligiran.Pansinin ninyo an gating ilog, dibat napakarumi na nito? Ang mga mapangabusong tao ay ginagawang tapunan ng mga basura an gating ilog! Yan ang kasalukuyang kalikasan na ginagalawan natin ngayon.

Ano ba ang nararapat nating gawin upang kalikasan natiy maibalik sa dati nitong ganda? Pagsunod sa batas na dapat nati8ng sundin ang sinuman upang kalikasan natiy maibalik sa I nitong anyo at ganda!

Pahalagahan natin ang kalikasan, at pahalagahan ang bawat natitirang likas na yaman ng ating bansa! Dahil ang labis na pang aabuso sa ating kalikasan ang siyang magiging sanhi ng pagka wasak at pagka wala ng mga likas na yaman. Iligtas natin an gating kalikasan, ingatan natin ito dahil ito ang magiging susi ng pag asenso n gating bansa.

MGA PANGANGAILANGAN NG KABATAAN

Anu ba pagkakaiba naten noon at ngayon?Malaki na ba ang ipinagbago naten?Kaya pa ba sugpuin ang mga kabataan ngayon.Yan ang mga tanong Mmadalas pumasok sa aking isipa.Kapansin-pansin naman sa mga kabataan ngayonn na halos napapabayaan na nang napakaraming kabataan ang pagaaral na isang sa pinakamahalaga para sa edukasyon ng lahat.Hindi bat napakarami narin ang mga kabataan ang nalululong sa droga,napapabarkada sa mga masasama.

Maari naman natin masugpo ang mga ganitong uri ng kabataan na halos walang oras sa pamilya napapabayaan ang pagaaral,siguro kailangan lan bantayan,alagaan,bigyan ng suporta.Ang mga kabataan ng sa ganun hindi maging malayo ang loob nila sa atin at sa PANGINOON.

KALIKASAN ANG ATING PARAISO

Isang malinis,maayos,sariwang hangin,sagana sa likas na yaman at tirahan iyan ang paraiso. Ito’y buong pusong ihinain n gating may likha ang kalikasang nasasa-ating pangangalaga. Isang paraisong maihahandog sa tao.

Ang paraiso ba natin ay ang ating daigdig. Tunay, isang paraiso ang daigdig….. paraisong likha ng kalikasang nasa kanyang sinapupunan….. kalikasang dito lamang matatagpuan. Hindi ito makikita sa magandang naglalakihang planeta.

Subalit sa pagdaan ng maraming taon ang kalikasan ng daigdig ay unti-unting naglaho dahil tumubo sa puso ng tao ang maimbot na paghahayag sa katanyagan. Pagnanasa sa higit pa sa kanyang pangangailangan. Pangangailangang nasasalig sa makasarili at makitid na layunin.

Ang daigdig ay isang paraiso. Manatili lamang ang kasaganaan nito kung tulung-tulong tayong makikibaka sa mga tao at bansang nagbabalatkayong may hangad ng pag-unlad, ngunit sumisira naman sa ating Paraiso. Ang mga walang pusong pumuputol sa ating mga puno; pumapatay sa ating mga halaman; nagpaparumi sa mga kailugan at karagatan at umuubos sa mga lamang dagat ay walang karapatang manatili sa ating paraiso. Itaboy sila sa kawalan.

Huwag hayaang maglaho ang paraisong Daigdig…. Ipagtanggol at pangalagaan natin ang kanyang kalikasan.

ANG KABATAAN SA KASALUKUYAN

Ano nga ba sa kasalukuyan ang kabataan? Marahil ay hindi na lingid sa inyo kung ano meron ang kabataan ngayon? Ano nga ba?

Sa panahon ngayon ay marami ng kabataan ang naliligaw ng landas.

Marami ng kabataan ang nagdodroga, nagsusugal, umiinom ng alak. Mga kabataan na sumasali sa mga praternity at mga kabataan na lumalabag sa batas. Tulad ng pagnanakaw at pagpatay.

Ano kaya sa palagay nyo kung bakit ito nangyayari? Kung bakit nila ito ginagawa? At bakit pa nila ito ipinagpapatuloy? Ano nga bang dahilan?

Marahil dahil sa udyok ng mga barkada. Sa kakulangan ng pera. Sa kawalan ng trabaho. Sa paghihiwalay ng mga magulang o dahil sa pagkabigo sa pag-ibig. 

Paano na ngayon ang ating bayan? Kung ganyan ang ginagawa ng mga kabataan. Hindi ba't sabi nila na "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan"? Masasabi paba natin ngayon yan? Marahil ang iba ay hindi, at ang iba ay oo. Dahil mayroon pa naman ngayong mga kabataan na tumatahak sa tamang landas.

Kayong mga kabataan na naliligaw ng landas, gusto nyo bang tahakin ang tamang daan upang matupad ang inyong mga pangarap?

Hindi pa huli ang lahat para sa pagbabago. Marami pang paraan ang magagawa natin. Pwedeng pwede pa nating itama ang lahat.

Umiwas sa masasamang bisyo. Umiwas sa masasamang barkada. Gumawa tayo ng kabutihan, at tumulong tayo sa ating bayan, nang sa ganon ay masabi uli natin na... "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan".

___________________________________________________________

The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.

                                                                                           By: Society Quotes

I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

                                                                                           By: Society Quotes

War and Peace Sayings

"By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder - infinitely prouder - to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, 'Our Father Who Art in Heaven.'"

This idea of weapons of mass exterminations utterly horrible and is something which no one with one spark of humanity can tolerate. I will not pretend to obey a government which is organizing a mass massacre of mankind.

                                                                                By: Bertrand Russell

"It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend."

                                                                                By: Margaret Thatcher

"There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed."

                                                                                By: Albert Camus

"It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again."

                                                                                By: Anne Frank

"I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again."

                                                                                By: Anne Frank

"We were once a peaceful race of intelligent mechanical beings, but then came the war between the Autobots who fought for freedom and the Decepticons who dreamed of tyranny."

                                                                                By: Optimus Prime (Transformer)
