Did I Miss Anything? Summary: The poem “Did I Miss Anything?” is written from two distinct points of view. They are the student’s point of view and the teacher’s point of view. The words “nothing” and “everything” represent the student’s point of view and the teacher’s point of view respectively. Stanza one is written from the students' point of view. It reveals the fact that the teacher is missing in the classroom. In the teacher’s absence, the students simply sit in silence , with their hands folded on the desks. Stanza two is written from the teacher’s point of view. It tells how he has given heavily weighted exams, assigned readings, and prepared a quiz. Stanza three represents students' perspective. Here, a typical student blames that the classroom education is valueless, meaningless and a waste of time. It will have no effect or purpose later in life. However, in stanza four, the poet explains why education is important. It claims that through education a person is e

 

 Siddhicharan Shrestha (1912 - 1992) Translated by - Shreedhar Lohani Arise! Wake up! Reveal the hidden O New Nepal Speak up truth and beauty! Let the cleanest current of consciousness Gush forth with vigour  O New Nepal Jump up and soar over This black uphill precipice. Set free the courage Stifled with age-long persecution O New Nepal Send packing the worn-out disorder With furious laughter. Let the advancing foot Take the new step To bring forth the bright day O New Nepal Bless us with courage and caution Power and union. Distasteful rituals Heartless class divisions Away with all such idle forces O New Nepal Let the living thoughts  Resplendent within Nepali hearts Conflagrate and open up. Those not-to-be done acts Performed in desperation Under the cankerous inequality of wealth  By hungry stomachs and barebacks Annihilate all such evil elements O New Nepal! Glossary:  Consciousness - awareness Gush - flow out of something in a rapid and plentiful stream Forth - ahead in time Vigo

 

  Convergent thinking is the process of finding the single best solution to a problem that you are trying to solve. Many tests that are used in schools, such as multiple-choice tests, spelling tests, math quizzes, and standardized tests, are measures of convergent thinking. The problem of convergent thinking is systematic and logical, unlike divergent thinking, which is spontaneous and free-flowing. It works best in situations where a single best correct answer exists and it is possible to discover the answer through analyzing available stored information. For example, if someone asked you what 2 + 2 is, you know there is only one solution that works and that you can use your understanding of addition and numbers to find the best answer, which is 4. Divergent thinking is the process of creating many unique solutions in order to solve a problem. Divergent thinking often referred to as lateral thinking, is the process of creating multiple, unique ideas or solutions to a problem that y
