Even Albert Einstien could not use 100% of his brain. According to a research , humans use only 10% of their brain and Einstien used 90% of his intellect. So you can realise what the potential of human brain is. If at all you come to know how one can use 100 % of his brain , let me know too.And if you are able to do so, I hail to you as a true genius(no kidding).All the best , may god bless you!\nYours sincerely,\nVanchit

In its simplest form it means what you don't know won't hurt you.\nIt's from Thomas Gray's 1742 poem, "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" and the full quote is:\nWhere ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

It means, no matter how hard I try nothing seems to work out. It's how a man feels in a marriage. He knows no matter what he does it'll be wrong. =)\n.\nApparently someone didn't like my wife comment. Thanks for the negative vote. No biggie. \nHere's a link to where it originated and what it means.

My version of it's meaning:\n\nExample: I want to get into the water........I want to see real fish not pictures of fish\n\n\n\nWithin deepness is wonder, the endless azure pool--coolness for the burning heart. Within wonder is the Nameless--of It nothing can be said. To try is in vain. It drives the Almighty insane!\n\nSo you've prepared yourself well, but you must begin anew to understand laws that mortals find askew. Your love has limits. It cannot behold the swirling jewel.\n(author unknown)\n\nIn other words you can read things but until you actually experience it, you can only wonder about things.  No matter how old you get you will always have a new experience and more to learn about life

On the rim of a £2 coin, it's a quote from Isaac Newton.\n\n (He's saying that he couldn't have got to be the great scientist that he was without having the work of other scientists before him to work with) \n\nWikipedia will tell you that it has been "mistakenly" attributed to Isaac Newton - but although it has been used by other people before him - the quote is most famous for Newton's use.

Uneven. \n\nThomas Edison said  genius was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Most teachers will tell you the same thing, or quote him.\n\nSmart students tend to get better grades than dull ones, but lots of smart students get bored or lazy and flunk. Dull students with good work ethics can succeed. The kids in the middle can go either way.\n\nA good work ethic and the ability to focus on a subject for long periods of time are much better indicators of scholarly success than a high IQ.\n\nExactly how long you have to focus depends on the problem; a word problem in algebra may take 10 minutes, a Ph. D. thesis 10 months.

GOD is the master of design, engineering, etc. I see nothing wrong with admiring his work as long as you do not Idiolize. Also, a little bit is good, too much ain't good. DO NOT dwell on anything too long.

i think that it means that great minds actually fulfill their dreams, wishes, etc. But other people only wish, they do not have the willpower or the ability to do what they want to.\n\nThis is just a guess.

I'm not sure about the "talented tenth" part. I think what he intended to say was that education must be for the soul...to develop the inner-person, and not simply impart superficial knowledge or skill. \n\nBut...\n\nI don't think that education is limited to a portion of the people...it is meant for all.\n\nGood luck with your homework
