All The Answers We're Searching For Are Underneath Our Feet
It seems as though when we’re looking so hard for something it tends to always be hidden in plain sight. That ketchup bottle that you can’t seem to find in the fridge is actually literally right in front of your face. We think we’ve lost our cell phone when we’re still talking to someone on it. And the sunglasses we’ve been searching all over the house for for the past 15 minutes are on top of our head.

“Eureka!” screamed Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, and physicist, when he realized the level of water in the bath increased as he had got in. What Archimedes discovered was a method for measuring the volume of irregularly-shaped objects.

The Miracle of NLP Techniques
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is a branch of psychology that studies the inner workings of the human mind. How we think, how we form our interests, ambitions, and fears, and how we motivate ourselves, make connections, and give meaning to our experiences are all factors that affect how we think.

What 7UP was REALLY Meant for is Shocking!
The famous and popular soda currently named 7UP was created 2 weeks before the Wall Street crash of 1929. The insane fact about the soda which was then called “Bib- Label Lithiated Lemon Lime soda” is that one of its 7 ingredients was lithium. In 1948 its name was shortened to just 7UP. The manufacturers marketed it as a mood stabilizing drink. It was actually patented as a mood stabilizing medicine product. Crazy I know but the story and origin gets more unbelievable.

Jumping in & out of a Lucid Dream
Have you ever experienced the wind in your hair as you sail on a yacht through the Caribbean Sea? Sun beating down upon you as you glide through the calm waters, the top sail is taut & the rigging is holding, all is well until you realize you’ve been sailing in a circle. It’s only made worse when you see the Flying Dutchman quickly approaching your yacht – oh wait, it’s an inflatable rubber dingy now and your oar is the length of a school ruler. It’s only made worse when your pet dog has jumped off & is swimming towards a pink fin, b-lining it straight towards you. You paddle madly only to find that you are moving nowhere, stuck in a gravitational pull which confuses & frightens you at the same time. The answer – you are dreaming, well actually, you were as you’ve awoken to a sweaty-brow with all the bed sheets on the other side of the bed.

Why do we see the world stable even when we move our eyes?
While reading this text, your eyes jump over the line, pause briefly, and then move on to the next jump. Such eye movements — so-called saccades — do not only occur when reading. We humans and other primates perform them two to three times per second, usually without being aware of it. Most remarkable, however, is that we do not perceive the resulting movement of the image on our retina. Rather, the environment appears stable. How can this be?
