Music is the Passion of Gods...
Imagine the world without sounds and vocal harmony…
Imagine the people barking like dogs … incessantly…
Imagine the world without harmony…of sounds…
Imagine the world without Beethoven and Mozart and
Rachmaninoff …
Imagine the world with your music…
What a sad place the world will be…
No dancing to the music… No clapping with harmony …
No laughter …
………
I am sure you will appreciate now all the harmonious sounds that
humans have composed and created…
The human brain is as creative as you are…
The humans are as creative as you are…
…. And I am sure there will be new melodies and tunes and harmonious sounds that will captivate us and we will be happier for…
Having regular music lessons improves the brain's ability to read and respond to sounds,
A new study suggests
Learning to sing or play a musical instrument can help disadvantaged children improve their reading skills, US research suggests.
After a year of music lessons, the reading scores of nine and 10-year-olds held steady compared to a dip seen in those who were not taught any music.
Another group of musically-trained children were found to be better at processing sounds and language.
Indeed, some of the very intelligent and smart kids have been in music
programs in ALL the schools that I have been... Concerned parents are involved in arts and in music...
Students involved in arts and music have outperformed the others...
Students in music and arts programs have also achieved more in maths and sciences ...
Those administrators and politician-Big Brothers who advocate cutting the arts and music programs are short sighted paddlers to the whims of
non-educators...
Music makes us happy and relaxed ... and relaxed kids learn more and learn better... Arts enables the kids to create and empowers them to perform better and opens up more visionary paths in front of them...

Many times I have witnessed students proud of the labels that they carry on their clothes - hats, pants, shirts and coats...
I have witnessed kids harassing their parents to buy the more "popular" brand name...
The more popular brand name will give them more "respect" and more "recognition" and more "distinction"...They will be able to brag more and quench their vanity...
Business people know the insatiable ego trip of the kids...and they cater to that...vain ego...
Business caters the vanity of people...feeds their ego with the nonsense of their ads... In turn gullible and vain people will be carried by the ads and the bragging of their peers and will buy more...
A vicious cycle will be created...
CVS is a drug store chain in the U.S. very similar to Shoppers drug Mart of Canada... and both are respected drug stores... But the full-of-themselves people will buy the brand name and pay much more for that... and it is a show-off of the most stupid kind...
The more expensive diaper makes the bottoms of children "happier"...
I guess the kids know it best...
After all...they are suggesting... "I shit in your money...: smart man...!
Our brains feel more pleasure when we think we are drinking a $45 wine instead of a $5 bottle
So you think you can tell fine wine from plonk without reading the label? You might be deluded because, economists say, our grasp of wine's class and worth is shaky. Several scathing studies suggest we are suckers for mystique and marketing - the price tag-driven power of suggestion.
According to the industry blog The Wine Economist, the wine retailing industry's ''dirty little secret'' is that we automatically lean towards dearer brands. On the hunt, we look at least for a mid-range bottle, irrespective of other dynamics, swayed by the brainwashed belief we should spend proper money. Nobody wants to look crass.
Our unease about buying plonk is exploited by supermarkets. Cheap brands are shelved near the floor, forcing anyone who feels moved to buy an everyday table wine to stoop - so demeaning.
(CNN) -Robyn Lawley, an Australian plus-size model, is getting a cyber-standing
ovation for posting unretouched and makeup-free photos of herself on Facebook in protest against the pathological airbrushing we've grown accustomed to in professional photography. It's a bold move for the 25-year-old, who was also a vocal critic of the recent Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Businesses have done their homework....They have researched well and they know that... People are vain...People are judgmental... People are suckers and the price tag will have its suggestive quality... If not the price tag, then our neighbors and "friends" will exert peer-pressure...on our decision and outlook...
I always wanted to educate my students to ignore the peer pressure and do what is right for them... Sometimes I succeeded, other times the immature kids complained to their parents and their parents complained to the admin about my outlook and about my reasoning and logic...
But,
I did not change my ways and I did not yeild to pressure to alter my logic and reasoning...
I hope people will stop to suckers and stop to be coned by business ads and peer nonsense...
I hope people will think for themselves...
May be they should register in arts or music classes...
The research suggests that it will help them to be better thinkers...
Dance...Sing...and be a better thinker... Ignore the ads and to not succumb to peer-pressure...

Most of us are consumed about their looks... and again, the looks are defined by our peers and not by the demands of our health...
Most models cater to the imaginary and sick concepts of being thinner is healthier...
Once the fashion industry established this prevailing concept...
"Thinner...is BETTER"
Then they produced numerous models and defined beauty in this sick fashion...
There are few emerging models and women who are refusing this sick notion of the fashion industry and refusing to follow their lead...
Read...the CNN piece below...by LZ Granderson....

Her message to women everywhere is clear: Beauty comes in many sizes.
If this is plus size, the world is more screwed up than we know...
The problem is, Lawley is not what average people would call plus-size.In fact, when I initially saw her unretouched photos, I kept scrolling through the gallery looking for her unretouched photos. Her natural beauty is undeniable, but if her body is what the fashion industry is calling plus size, that world is more screwed up than we know. Like, seriously, what kind of hallucinogen do you have to take in order to look at Lawley and think she's on the heavier side? At worst she looks like a fitness instructor at one of those gyms where the women show up in full makeup.
Robyn Lawley as she is...Not as defined by the fashion industry...
You have to stand up and defend your rights...Do not get bullied by peers and their gossip...
If your peers are not able to accept you as you are.... Then as the CNN article suggests That world is more screwed up than we know"...Hence you do not have to follow them...
Stand up and do not yield your ground to stupidity....
You are smart and you know better...
Art and music will help you develop your own personality better...and you will not be defined by others... anymore...
Art and music will help you develop your own personality better...and you will not be defined by others... anymore...
