There has been or will be one or more times in every person's life where he or she are experted to answer sample mathematical question such as "what is 1+1 or 2+3" from friend, family, or boss.
The way you answer this question will tell a lot about who you are. Even the recruiter manager has started to ask this question to the job candidates at interview.
the simple answer to 1+1 is 2. this is a question for the 4-year-old. However you're not a 4-year-old, so you need to think think question in more dept.
Unit
1 doesn't mean anything. 1 is just a number. you need to ask yourself a number of what? is it 1 apple + 1apple or 1 banana + 1 apple?
1meter + 1 centermeter = 1.01 meter not 2 meter.
Vector or Scalar
Does it have direction? 3 step east + 4 step north = 5 step northeast.
There are many answers to 1+1, in order to answer the question you need to ask more question.

Saying Too Much 'Thank You' Can Make You Look Like a Noob
I have notice professional say less 'Thank You' than the non-professional
I felt that 'Thank You' are an inefficient gratitude, and degrades your character.
Some situations where you should avoid saying "thank you" are the following
in situation 2, Thank you makes them feel good. they should be apologizeing. you do not thank people who do soemthing wrong. If you thank them for charging you extra, they will do it again next time!
Too often I got calls from telemarking in situation3. I used to say "no thank you" and those annoying sell person continus to annoy you repecting what he said previously, "Sir, I just want to let you know that this if free of charge for 30 day, and you can cancel it any time you like free of charge. With this you can do.... bla bla.. may i play go ahead and open this account for you?" What is the point of being polite to them? Go ahead and say NO and yell at them.
Situation 4 come the time where some one had really helped you, like a doctor saved your son's life, Some stranger give you money for bus when you got robbed, don't just say 'thank you' like you say to all others. Use some bigger vocaburlry and use some full sentence. and say it with feeling.
There are other situation where you should not say TY. next time just think before why you say 'thank you'
I felt that 'Thank You' are an inefficient gratitude, and degrades your character.
Some situations where you should avoid saying "thank you" are the following
- when they're not doing you a favor. (i.e. T.A email student and tell them their hw grade are posted and follow by a thank you. totally unnecessary. a guy returning your pen he borrowed, and you say thank you, not neccessary.
- When you're are demaning something. you're mad that the cellphone company charge you some international calls that you never make. Even thou they fixed, they wasted your time, don't 'thank you' them.
- When they are making profit of you. People will come up to you, or call you to offer this and that (opening a new credit card, cable, car insurance), don't say "no thank you", say "NO!"
- When you really want to thank them. Saying thank you 3 times isn't going to help. because 'Thank You" is overly used, people used too often, even when they dont' mean it.
in situation 2, Thank you makes them feel good. they should be apologizeing. you do not thank people who do soemthing wrong. If you thank them for charging you extra, they will do it again next time!

This is NOT gay
Men and men used to be good friend, or close friends. We were so close a friend that we shower in a same tub; rub lotion on each other's back; slap other on the butt as often as high-fives. Me and my boys were so friendly and had so much fun. Until one day...
A loner come to our town. He didn't have any guy to hug. He was a true gay person (who has sexual feeling for man, or homosexual). When he saw us hugging, he said: "that's so gay." and guess what? we stop hugging.
we stop going to the mall together; stop buying each other drinks after work; stop taking shower together; stop caring for each other. We stop doing anything fun between guys, just because of the sentence: "that's so gay."
Actually it wasn't gay at all. It is only gay, if one thinks gayly. It's never gay to take a bath with your fellow friend if you don't think about touching his penis. It's not gay to slap your teammate in the butt if it doesn't arouse you. People who stop doing all those guy-friendly things are because they are partially gay (research shows that everyone have a gay said. But the non-gay people are dominated by their heterosexual sense), and afraid they can't control their urge. For a straight guy like you and me, you should never hesitate to tickle your guy-friends, and care for them.
Girl do all those girl-friendly things because they don't care if people call them lesbian. Why can't guy do the same? Is it because guys also like lesbian female? But girl only like gay guy as a friend and guy don't want the girl to think they're gay. There a famous saying that goes like this: one who afraid other calling him gay is or might be gay Or he is self-conscious. Being called gay for guys is like being called fat for girl.
Guy or Girl: "Hey girl, you look fat"
Girl checking out the mirror: "omg. am i really fat?"
Guy or Girl: "Dude, you're so gay"
Guy goes to watch straight porn: "Am i really gay? .. "
Conclusion: Don't be self-conscious. Go do all those 'gay' thing, if you know you are not gay. And for all those hater, stop saying "this is so gay", because you only say that if you are gay.

Cheating is a good skill to have in the real world
Many people ask me what is point of school. Most stuff we learn is not really need in the real world. Although I do not agree with those people’s point of view; because I know why we go to school and why learning them. Moreover, I love the stuff I learn in school. However I do agree that there are a big different about school and work place. In school; we; the student re require to work alone; if we work together that would be cheating. But at work; most of the time you never work alone. You most likely will work with group of people. Many student after obtaining their degree; are unaffected at work because they lack such contributing skill. They know how to work; but have problem contributing their knowledge to the team; and also fail to credit other people’s idea. (Richard Wagner, a psychologist at Florida State University)
I feel that if a student who can cheat and able to get away with it; it should be fine. If the student have the skill to cheat through academic and get his or her degree; the student can cheat through project and work too. If he does caught; then it would his fail not having master his cheating skills. After all cheating is a skill too. The most important skill to have now a day at job is social skill. If you who know nothing but able to get other to do you the favor and do the job for you; there should be no problem. Knowledge is not everything. It is just one of the skills that aids to living.

Let's Stop Innovating
"Technology today have gone way too far," Sam Huang, a mechanical engineer student, said this morning.
Every day, every hour, there's a new technology been made at the Corp. of New Technology. "New technology are impossible for us old people to follow," said Sam Huang who is only 20 years old. Imagine how will the actually old people's, we're talking about 40-50's, brain process with all the new technologies coming out.
When Sam was a kid, all he wishes for was a CRT TV. It took forever for him to actually own a 15-inch CRT in his living room. When he got it, he was so happy because he was the only one who had a CRT. Everyone had a LCD. and what's that... Plasma? and Blue-ray? or FIOS? Sam didn't know them and didn't care.
The rate of innovation is too fast, experts believe. Sam Huang who is also studying economic told us "it is because they make new products too often (every 3-5 days), customers stop buying them. They want to wait another month to see if maybe there is a newer TV that have GoldEyes*." Sam Huang told us that this is the main reason for the economic crisis in the States.
Yesterday, many consumers at Circuit States were tricked to buy CRT tv, thinking it was the newest computer-like TV.
If this tech innovation don't stop, there won't be much left of this world--maybe only geeks, or real smart person.
[CRT stand for cadio-ray-tude, old tv, so don't buy them at Circuit States]
[GoldEyes is a new tecnology that is currently undergoing process to add to the TV. What it does it that it allow the viewer to deposit gold to the TV to feed its energy. The new technology break the gold atom and change it to engergy. It follow the new moto for GO GREEN. TV with GoldEyes uses 0 electity, portable, no plugs, all channel in the world, as long as you insert gold.]

Mascara make woman Stronger
besides from making woman's eye look like panda, Mascara also make woman stronger. A stronger panda that doesn't cry.
Woman unnoticely become stronger in every kind of way. Woman who put on deep deep dark mascara will feel the love by most, if not all, Chinese, and perhaps people other than chinese as well. Mascara make woman feel special, a almost-distined female human kind with really thick eyelash. People will protect her from all cost. Of course that is only what she felt, but her thought is important; it boost her confident and make her strong.
Finally, when she realized that she is not the rare, almost-distined female, that there are many woman out there just like her, with deep dark eyelash, she want to cry. She also learn the truth she is not fat enough to be a panda. This time she really want to cry. But she stopped her self because she had mascara on. She told herself to cry when she is alone in the bathroom. Once again mascare had made her stronger (in public).

Peeing on the Street
Why is it wrong to pee on the street? How come we can't spit on sidewalk? (we do, but sometime cop can give you a ticket, so it is illegal)
We can't, because the government said it is polluting the environment. Smells bad, looks bad, and unprofessional.
Yes, so peeing is illegal, but blowing smoke on someone's face is legal. how funny. (i am not sure how to put my idea together here, so here it goes)
there should be a law that band smoking in public. if we can hold not to pee on street, we can hold not to smoke.
in fact, we should be free to pee on street, because holding your pee is not healthy, not the right way to do. and there isn't much public bathroom build. even park's bathroom is sometime close. How do the government expect people to live without peeing?

Yes, so peeing is illegal, but blowing smoke on someone's face is legal. how funny. (i am not sure how to put my idea together here, so here it goes)
- it is okay for smoker to smoke in the public street and blow unwanted smoke on other pedestrian's face, nose, eye.
- second hand smoke is dangerous to health, human health.
- smoke is polluting the air and worsen our environment
- smoke additive-ist argues that they 'had' to have it, they can't control it, but what about the people who have to pee, and get rejected by the private bathroom? they can't hold it any longer either, but they still managed. why is that if they pee on street because they can't hold it -- they get arrested for public assult? because kids will see and learn to pee on street? what about kids seeing people smoke and thought it is cool?
- people who have to pee, can hold and wait till they get home or bathroom to pee, why can't the people who have to smoke hold and control it and smoke when they are at their home or somewhere bathroom-like place that no one is present to do their business?
- Lawyer aruges with me that Peeing or shitting on street, take away other innocent people's freedom, and limiting their right to persuade their 'happiness.' but smoking cause the same. I feel my right to breath in clean air have been limited by those smoker on the street trying to look cool by blowing giant clouds of smoke. there is smoker in front of my, behind me, i have no escape.
there should be a law that band smoking in public. if we can hold not to pee on street, we can hold not to smoke.
in fact, we should be free to pee on street, because holding your pee is not healthy, not the right way to do. and there isn't much public bathroom build. even park's bathroom is sometime close. How do the government expect people to live without peeing?
