Length isn’t the point the hardness is

2025/2/1 Edited to

... Read moreIn various contexts, whether in fitness, education, or skill development, the focus often lies on depth rather than mere duration. For instance, when engaging in weight training, one may think that the length of the workout is crucial; however, studies indicate that intensity and proper form can lead to superior outcomes. Additionally, in learning new skills, dedicated practice sessions focused on mastery are shown to be more effective than prolonged but unfocused efforts. Adopting this perspective can lead to more meaningful progress. The principle resonates well with the motto 'quality over quantity,' emphasizing that achieving tough challenges, be it physically or mentally, should anchor on tackling hardness rather than the scale of time invested. Think about your personal goals; shifting your mindset could unlock new potentials and lead to substantial growth in every endeavor you undertake.

A hand-drawn diagram of triangle ABC with its orthocenter O and the orthic triangle DEF. It labels various angles, side lengths, and lists formulas for segments related to the orthocenter and the sides of the orthic triangle (DE, EF, FD).

Side length in the orthic triangle
The orthic triangle is the triangle made by connecting the points where each altitude meets their corresponding side. Since orthocenter is the common meeting point of the quadrilaterals, then three cyclic quadrilaterals are formed, so Ptolemy’s theorem can be used to find the lengths of the sides o

Protection is not rebellion.
Protection isn’t defiance. It isn’t hardness. It isn’t shutting people out. Sometimes protection is listening to your body. Sometimes it’s choosing rest. Sometimes it’s saying no without explaining. You’re not becoming difficult. You’re becoming safe with yourself. #GentleBoundaries

When sensitive, brilliant people say 'there is no God' because of the world's pain, how should we respond? Not with hardness, but with compassion. They're too sweet, too bright, too caring to build their lives on sinking sand. 💔✨ #Faith #Compassion #Atheism #God #Chri

A handwritten mathematical proof demonstrates the relation a+d=b+c+e for a regular pentagon inscribed in a circumcircle. The proof uses a diagram with labeled vertices and lengths, applying properties of the golden ratio (φ) and Ptolemy's Theorem to derive the final equation.
a + d = b + c + e
This relation is true given a regular pentagon surrounded by its circumcircle. s is the length of the side, L is the length of the diagonal and phi is the golden ratio. a, b, c, d & e are the lengths from the point on the circle to each vertex on the pentagon. #math #maths #mathematics
