logic and luck

Well I have been thinking about it a lot in my free time. I have come to some obvious conclusions. I should start thinking from here now onwards. First let me define what is logic and luck according to me.
By logic, I mean reasoning. 1+1=2 is logic. Earth rotates around Sun because of gravitational force is logic. We need to oxygen for digestion is logic. Logic can be explained. If it cannot be explained, then it is not logic.

By the same argument, what cannot be explained can be called as luck. Many times we say a person is born talented, that is luck. Why should someone get cancer, that is luck. Why should Earth be exactly at such a distace that all conditions favour for growth of organisms, that is luck.

So what is the relation between the two, logic and luck? The relation is the understanding of things around us. Hundreds of years ago, no one could explain the cause of lightning and they used to consider it as a way Rain God shows his anger. So it was luck then. But now lightning does not scare anybody. So it is logic now. Hence as time progresses, more and more things are understood by humans. This leads us to believe that some or the other day, humans will be able to solve all the mysteries of nature and hence nullify the concept of luck. Theoretically, yes this should be possible. After all that is what we have learned in maths. Any variable can be easily extended to infinity to get an ideal case. But now what is that ideal case equal to. Isnt that is what we call God. He can explains us everything that happens in this world. He has created everything here and he has designed everything so beautifully for us. So is it wrong in believing in him and having trust in him.

Let us see it from another point of view. When we are small, we believe in our parents and whatever they say. They are god for us then. But as we grow up and start gaining knowledge more than them, we dont believe in them any longer and keep searching for logic ourselves. In this juncture some believe in God but some believe themselves to be God. The latter happens because they think that since they have gained knowledge more than their earlier gods( their parents), they can reach the ideal situation of gaining infinite knowledge and hence can themselves become god. But what they forget is that they havent yet reached the ideal situation.

I had drifted away from my main point. I wrote this blog to mention what I think is the right equation for logic and luck.
Logic + Luck = Nature .
By nature, I mean everything. Everything that we see and we observe. I will call this equation of truth as this is what is truth. Infact a better way to put the equation would be
Logic + Luck = Truth .

Here I have not mentioned another important factor which is Love. This cannot be categorized either in logic or in luck. I need to figure where it will appear in the equation and I am sure that the equation will then be complete. :).

How can I learn English if it is this complicated?

Courtsey: http://www.future-perfect.co.uk/grammartips/grammar-tip-benefited.asp

Is it benefitted or benefited?

When adding -ing and -ed to verbs, we sometimes double the consonant beforehand. People are often confused with ‘benefitted/benefited’, ‘focussed/focused’ and ‘targetted/targeted’. This tip answers some of those queries.

The official requirements are that we ‘double a single consonant letter at the end of any base where the preceding vowel is spelled with a single letter and stressed’.

What does this mean in practice?
Examples:
word present participle past participle
bar barring barred
beg begging begged
occur occurring occurred
permit permitting permitted
patrol patrolling patrolled

It is true to say that there is usually no doubling when the preceding vowel is unstressed (‘enter’ becomes ‘entering/entered’; ‘visit’ becomes ‘visiting/visited’) or when the preceding vowel is written with two letters (‘tread’ becomes ‘treading/treaded’).
Benefit

Mistakes are often made with ‘benefit’. This happens because it is thought to be like ‘fit’, ‘fitted’ and ‘fitting’, but it is not, as the natural stress is not in the same place.

In fact, ‘benefit’ follows the standard rules exactly. It becomes just ‘benefiting/benefited’, because there is usually no doubling when the preceding vowel is unstressed.

Some words change their spelling to cope (they add a letter ‘k’).
word present participle past participle
panic panicking panicked
traffic trafficking trafficked
frolic frolicking frolicked
bivouac bivouacking bivouacked
What about ‘focus’?

This word can take either double or single s, with the single option being highly preferred.
word present participle past participle
focus focusing/focussing focused/focussed

Here’s an odd one to end:
American British English
parallel parallel
paralleling parallelling
paralleled parallelled
Example:

The vetting service from Future Perfect is unparallelled.

renaissance

Finally I have made my blog public again. Since I had made it private, I found no reasons to write a personal blog. Somehow I always feel that when I write a blog, it is followed by many people and they like reading it. Hope someday this will become true. :). Anyways let me update you with whats happened in my life recently.
Well I am no longer in college. Sadly my college days are over. My four years of vacation is over. It was a difficult time as I was going away from all my friends and more importantly the environment that I had become so accustomed to. However change is the rule of life.
And the change could not have been better. I have now joined a company started by one of our own seniors. It is more of fun then work. It is a very informal company and hence it could not have suited me better. Just yesterday Dabba was mentioning that it was the perfect extension after 4 years of vacation in Durgapur. What is more important to me is I have finally found programming and computer science interesting. Now I spend most of my time gaining more and more knowledge about linux and programming and it is fun. My mind always is filled with things that I am required to do and I am getting more and more confident about programming. So at present my life is going on the right track even after I wasted 4 years without getting any much knowledge. The only useful thing academically I had done during college was used linux. That was again thanks to Dabba. At present I work on perl and javascript. Please forgive me if i get any technical in this blog as nowadays I am more into it then think philosophically. But whenever I get any crazy idea or a feeling, I will mention it over here and keep most of the technical stuff to my other blog which I have started.

story of horseman and life

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry, thirsty or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself." The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.

dimesnions of life, luck in particular

A point has no dimensions. A line has a single dimension. A square has 2 dimensions. A plane has three dimensions. More the dimensions, more the complexity of that entity. Life is such a complex entity. Imagine its number of dimensions. It might be countless but somehow the way in which nature runs, it makes me feel that it is not infinity. May be it is an enity with variable dimensions. Interesting. With life having so many features by itself, i am sure, it can be divided into smaller parts which have less dimensions and hence less complex. For example, How much a child is gonna weigh after about 5 years from now, can be decided by its food habits, daily habits and many more parameters. Again we might end up with having lots of parameters to play with but it is definitely less then the number of parameters on which life is dependent as a whole. Infact the parameters of life themselves are entities which have thier own parameters, which again are entities which have thier own parameters and so on. My present intentions are to concentrate on parameters that luck depend on. I have found 2 importent parameters. One is hard work. This one i got it from one of my favorite quote-harder u try, luckier u get. Second parameter is a more vague parameter. Or u can call it as an entity by itself. It is the fight between ur brain and ur conscience. U can lie to everybody in this world, sometimes even to urself. But u will realize it someday. What u do after that realization is the parameter that i am considering. will elaborate on it some other day. let me see if i can find more parameters to find the equations of luck.

the lost history of my college

http://naxalrevolution.blogspot.com/2006/07/life-and-struggle-in-regional.html Some how i cant believe that it is the history of my college.

a good day or a bad day

How wonderful it will be if we come to know how our day is going to be. Whether it will be a very successful day or a very irritating day. Well i think i have one small technique by which u can predict how your day is going to be. unfortunately i cant share it with anybody. However it is still in testing stage. will let u know whether it is true or not. i even think that technique extended can give you an idea of your month is going to be also. let me see. :)
