Gross National Product (GNP)

• This is the metric used to measure a country's economic output that is produced by all the citizens of a country regardless of their location.


• It represents how its nationals are contributing to the country's economy.


• In order to calculate the GNP, you must add the same components above along with the net income by domestic residents and businesses from overseas investments, then subtract it from the net income earned by foreign residents and businesses from domestic investment.

The Peek-A-Boo World

Pseudo-context: a structure invented to give fragmented and irrelevant information a seeming use. The use it provides is not action, or problem-solving, or change, only information with no genuine connection to our lives

The Peek-a-Boo World: all new media that entered the electronic conversation followed the lead of the telegraph and the photograph, amplifying their biases. It is a world without much coherence or sense but also endlessly entertaining. There is no subject of public interest—politics, news, education, religion, science, sports—that does not find its way to television.  

🎨 Embracing the beauty of imperfection in art is what makes it truly captivating. Every brushstroke tells a story, and every mistake can lead to new creative paths. Celebrate the journey of art, where flaws can become the highlights of a masterpiece! 🌟✨ #Art #Creativity #Inspiration

🎨 Art has the power to transcend boundaries, ignite emotions, and inspire change. Every brushstroke tells a story, and every canvas invites us to see the world through a different lens. Embrace creativity and let your imagination soar! #ArtInspiration #Creativity

You Don't Need To Be A Genius

One of the biggest things holding back anyone to share their work in public is the insecurity of being less genius than fellow people.

But what if we try to stop worrying about how genius or intelligent we are and how our work will impact our figure in society,rather find a scenius(intelligence or intellectual power of group of individuals) and thinking to contribute our part of the work and ideation to it.

There are numerous ways of finding a scenius,be it a club or a Twitter list or a social grp .

Observe the scenius ,what they have shared,what they haven't.

Be an amateur,do it for love.

Vulnerable

I feel so insecure,
But confident and so sure,
Knowing that you love me,but also realizing,
That with one word you could break my heart,
And with one movement you could shatter my soul,
And with one thought you could destroy my dreams,
I've never felt this way before,
Don't know if its healthy,
Or rotten to the core,
All I know is that as Abby would say,
"Your the key on my key-chain, and the rose on my bush,"
So please don't kick down the door,
Or let the flowers wilt to the floor,
because I Love You more than you could ever know,
And I never want to let you go.

🎨 Embracing the magic of creativity! Every brush stroke and color choice tells a unique story. Let's celebrate the artists who inspire us and the beauty they bring into our lives. #Art #Creativity #Inspiration

Tangerine Reflection

Exoskeletal waste
      peeled off in sickening
                        stretches of torn
       bone marrow ripping.

T
O
 S           aside as
  S           rubbish.
   E
    D

Rummage through file cabinets of
                        trials,habits,love
                      and
all the other trivial things
  we can't breath without.

Sticky soul penetrated by a
      roaming finger.
                   Lingering aftertaste.
                        Smash the case
                         and open up
                           my mind

or don't.

Who cares either way?

Pulp sculpted into a car wreck victim's
heart,beating in a soggy pile.

Terrains of orange like the
straining morning trying to invade the horizon again.

Adjust the tint knob.
Life is green.
                And always moreso on the other side
                                    of discovery.

Rubbery shrapnel.
            Apples to oranges is the equation of my existence.

Armor annihilated and discarded.
Amour,why?These flakes span our parted
                                ways
                             my melting
                                dove.

Writing well: choosing the right words

• Avoid at all costs the cliches of the thousands of writers who have gone before you.


• When you’re choosing words and stringing them together, be aware of how they sound.


• Use words you enjoy and that are vivid.


• Know the subtle differences between synonyms and which one best expresses what you want to say.


• Use the words that have precise meanings rather than those that are vague.

Old Age Despair

OLD AGE DESPAIR

What good the golden hoard, the noble fame
Of heroes or the praise of younger Man?
The hand of Death makes Man but a mere name
And none may linger longer than the span
Of years which fickle Fate allots.

We start to die when we begin to live.
The ages pass and we and all our kin
Are dead and those who died can only give
Scant recompense for all we did. Oh! What a sin
To live at all. Our whole life rots!

Is there a God who looks upon our toil?
Does He not watch our progress and approve
Our every act? Are we but soil
That lie beneath this Earth never to move?
Man dies when he is dead and ties the knots
Around him in the silent graveyard plots.
