Memandangi langit malam

Buat yang beruntung tinggal di pedesaan barangkali memandangi langit di malam hari akan terasa sangat biasa. Bagi yang tinggal di hiruk pikuk Jakarta atau tengah Surabaya barangkali memandangi langit malam sudah hilang kesyahduannya.

Jika agak beruntung tinggal di kota kecil (tempat) yang tidak terlalu bising cobalah sesekali untuk memandangi langit berbintang di malam hari. Lalu pikirkanlah siapa diri kita ini sekarang, apa yang telah kita capai, apa yang telah kita jalani selama ini. Lalu apa cita-cita kita untuk hari esok.

Kemudian bayangkan jika kita tiba-tiba mati esok hari. Apakah semua itu masih berarti ? Bagaimana jika kita yang sedang memandangi langit malam hari ini bukanlah kita dengan segala embel-embel seperti yang sekarang.

Saya sering terkenang pemaparan Steven Covey; "First thing first". Apakah yang paling berarti bagi kita sebenarnya ? What is out most important thing ?

Low latent inhibition

Most people are able to shut out the constant stream of incoming stimuli, but those with low latent inhibition cannot. It is hypothesized that a low level of latent inhibition can cause either psychosis, a high level of creativity or both, which is usually dependent on the subject's intelligence. Those of above average intelligence are thought to be capable of processing this stream effectively, an ability that greatly aids their creativity and ability to recall trivial events in incredible detail and which categorizes them as almost creative geniuses. Those with less than average intelligence, on the other hand, are less able to cope, and so as a result are more likely to suffer from mental illness. Still, very many individuals who have a high level of intelligence and low latent inhibition suffer from mental differences.

Darts and math



For years debate has raged over whether darts is really a sport. But there is no doubt in the Government’s mind that it is, at least, a branch of applied mathematics.

As one of the sport’s two world championships comes to an end at Alexandra Palace, North London, and another is being contested at Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey, this week, ministers are taking the opportunity to urge Britons to step up to the oche to help them to brush up on their arithmetic.


Darts players may be better known for their waistlines and drinking habits than their maths skills. No one, however, can reach the top echelons of the game without being able to work out — as they prepare to throw — that with 73 points on the chalkboard a treble 19 and a double eight will see them home.


“You can’t play darts without maths,” Sion Simon, the Minister for Further Education, told The Times. “We’re using the example of darts where mathematical competence is really important to success and hopefully inspire adults who don’t have the maths skills.”
