I live with both parents. The difficult experience I had in life was when my parents failed to provide us with basic needs, especially food. I have learnt to be patient.
The moment that I felt proud of myself was when I passed standard seven national exams with grade A. My dream is to be computer engineer. After I reach my dream, I will help my family by providing them with all basic needs and I will donate computers to WEF so that they can be used by students.

Hello guys,
Now, let’s learn something new about Virology.
Virology is the branch of science that studies viruses — the tiniest infectious agents that can cause diseases in humans, animals, and even plants.

Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cannot live on their own. They need to enter another living cell to multiply. Some viruses cause common diseases like the flu, measles, or COVID-19, while others can infect animals and crops.

But not all viruses are bad — studying them helps scientists develop vaccines and treatments that save millions of lives.

As you continue learning, remember: knowledge is power — and science helps us protect ourselves and our communities.

If you have any questions about Virology or viruses in general, feel free to ask me after this journal. I’ll be happy to explain more! 😊

Have a great and productive day, future scientists!
Hello 👋 family
I hope that you are well as to me.
To day I want to share with you about WORDS OF WISDOM BY ALBERT EINSTEIN.Albert Einstein was not only a genius in physics but also a profound thinker on life, humanity, and the nature of existence. His "words of wisdom" often blended deep insight with a charming simplicity.

Here are some of his most memorable quotes, categorized by theme.

On Imagination, Curiosity, and Learning

Einstein believed that the sense of wonder was the most important fuel for discovery.

· “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
· “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
· “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.”
· “Once you stop learning, you start dying.”

On Life, Purpose, and Happiness

He had a humble, almost whimsical, view of what gives life meaning.

· “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
· “A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
· “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
· “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

On Creativity and Problem-Solving

His advice here is counter-intuitive but essential.

· “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
· “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” (This is often attributed to him, though there's no solid proof he said it exactly this way. It perfectly captures his spirit, however.)
· “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”

On Science, Religion, and the Universe

He often spoke of a cosmic religious feeling—a awe at the beauty and rationality of the universe.

· “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
· “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.”
· “God does not play dice with the universe.” (Expressing his unease with the randomness of quantum mechanics.)
· “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

On Human Folly and Wisdom

He was a sharp observer of human nature, especially in his later years.

· “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
· “The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
· “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

A Personal Favorite: His Formula for Success

When asked to define success, he gave this wonderful, simple equation:

“If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”

The wisdom in these quotes lies in their timelessness. They encourage us to stay curious, think differently, value compassion over ambition, and never lose our sense of wonder at the world.
