Motivation to learn
The Night Fury
I recently watched an animation movie called “How to train your dragon". Many of friends recommended it, but i never thought about watching it, i judge a book by its' cover, i hated the name, i thought it was lame and childish.
Couple of days ago, i was searching for a good movie to watch. Something with high ratings and good feedback. Surprisingly, it was one of the highest rated animation movies. I watched the trailer, liked it and decided to go for it.
I wasn't just fascinated by the graphics, the whole idea of the movie is amazing. For people who didn't watch it, you have missed a lot.
The movie is basically about a small village that gets attacked by dragons and for ages the man who kills a dragon is not just an honorable man, but is also a hero. A small boy called “Hiccup" lived in this town, but unfortunately for him, he was never treated like one of them, he was never strong enough to kill one and make his dad proud. Unlike any other kid, he was stubborn. He decided to catch the “Night Fury“ the dragon that no one ever was able to catch or kill. He went to woods behind everyone's back and caught it.
The very next day he went searching for the dragon, to kill it and show everyone how much of a hero he is. He found it, but he just couldn’t do it. Instead he came back to help and bring him food. The Night Fury became his pet, he knew what made him happy, what made him feel sad or made him angry. Then, he realized that every single thing they were thaught about dragons was wrong. He kept his pet a secret for long to protect him. But, after a while everyone knew.
After a battle with the whole village, and some other story details that are not really the key to the moral of the story. At the end, everyone realized that they made the dragons their enemies, they treated them as outsiders that needs to be killed. Not everything is solved by violence & brutality. If everyone takes a little bit of time to think and come up with reasoning and solutions to their problems, it would make everything much easier, better and makes much more sense. Use your mind before your arms.
A quick introduction of myself.
Welcome to ENS Jordan. It was a pleasure speaking with you earlier.
I can't agree more about how friendly you are. Hope to talk to you very soon !

Hello everyone
This is today’s audio reflections on my welcome meeting with Hanna who belongs to Egypt. It was pleasure to talk to her as she is really a motivational personality as per as I can envisage.
In our yesterday’s conversation we have discussed some of the essence ideas of our cultures, heritations and we have also discussed about our study plannings. Besides those we have also talked about some technical aspects for the implementations of improving our spoken English. She has vested me some beautiful suggestions which could be very effective for ameliorating myself and I shall always try to help my fellow members in our ENS community as per as I able to do,
However my welcome meeting with Hanna was great. She is truly motivational and above all I like her hospitality.
Tanks for listening.
Keep up the great work and keep working together, this is just the beginning!
Your most welcome Kaustav. I enjoyed talking to you as well. I am glad you have benefited from our meeting.Talk to you soon!

Even scientists know that absolute objectivity has yet to be attained. It’s the same for absolute truth. But as many newspaper reporters have observed, the idea of objectivity as a guiding principle is too valuable to be abandoned. Without it, the pursuit of knowledge is hopelessly lost.
Application: Are people better at making decisions and observations if they remain neutral and impartial? Explain.
A very interesting post Hana, thanks for sharing!!
What are your thoughts?
I think being objective or neutral is tremendously hard for most people, including myself. People tend to make their decisions based on their personal bias. It’s in our nature to be subjective, which leads us to many wrong decisions, especially when it comes to the corporate world.
Never judge a book by its cover, never let your personal judgment affect your decisions and observations. Many people can be over or underrated due to perceptions and it is extremely unfair. It’s true that the world will never reach absolute objectivity or absolute truth, but believe that you will always make a better decision if you remained neutral and unbiased.
