The ideas in my head

I’ve heard it so many times. Worship is not just a song, a tune, a melody.

The idea of worship I had was singing in church. Don’t get me wrong, it is a song in a church, but it is much, much more.I have struggled to fully understand the meaning of worship. Probably the best place to start is by understanding the word “WORSHIP.”

Origins of the word?

I attempted to put it in my own words, but it would have been an injustice, so here is the exact Wikipedia explanation.

The word is derived from the Old English weorþscipe, meaning to venerate “worship, honour shown to an object, which has been etymologised as ‘worthinessor worth-ship’” — to give, at its simplest, worth to something.

To me, artificial intelligence is somewhat of a mystery. I don’t reallyunderstand it. I’ve heard how it’s going to change the world and how “robots” are going to do everything.

“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.”

— Eliezer Yudkowsky

The idea that a machine is going to be smarter than me is a little bit intimidating, but on the other hand, I think my smart TV is definitely smarter than me.

The long answer will include which Apple series watch can do this. How accurate. What about the ECG?. Palpitations and other irregular heartbeats? Can it take your blood pressure?

What if you had no arms or legs?

If your mother was so shocked at your birth that she could not hold you. Would you say there were some obstacles to overcome?

Nick Vujici was born without arms or legs. He has a “chicken drumstick” toe as he calls it. It is toes on one side of his torso. Nothing else. When you see him for the first time it’s a shock. No arms or legs.

“You can’t even stand without risking to fall.”
― Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits

To say he faced extreme obstacles in life is an understatement. Think “holding your fork to put food in your mouth”. Only problem is you don’t have arms, hands or fingers.

He was bullied at school because of his disability. He recalls that at some stage in his early life he had feelings of helplessness and isolation.

These feelings led him to attempt suicide.

How did he make it in life?
