I don’t want you to misunderstand me helping you to understand stuff better, I do not think you are stupid. This is as much a learning curb for me as it is you. You might even be the CEO of your own company doing things that I would not even be able to comprehend, but I do realise that we are all different. That in itself helps us to compliment each other better, as we are all pieces of the same puzzle. Without you, I can not function, and you have to understand that if you let me into your world, I could attempt to contribute to yours.
Just to show you that I’m really not out to patronize you, I’d like to share some super cool fact with you. Maybe you already know this, and thus I ask your indulgence; but, if you do not have this info, imagine how surprised the rest of your family would be the next time you end up explaining it to your nephew!
I guess you have heard of Sir Isaac Newton. He was a clever guy in the 1680’s who came to the conclusion that stuff really has quite an impact on each other, like you and me, really. He was an English scientist who worked on the laws of motion, which is really just the rules stuff follow when they move. The first rule is quite simple. It suggests that if something isn’t being moved, tugged, pushed or shoved, it will remain still. This is now of course, if it wasn’t already moving. If it was in fact moving, while not being interfered with, it will continue to move at the same pace. This is quite interesting, if you consider how it impacts our daily life. If you were driving in your car into a brick wall, your car would stop, but you will continue to move forward at the same speed until you either hit the dashboard, of if you were responsible enough to wear you seatbelt, would be jerked back by it.
You must remember, this statement was considered very clever, as this transpired in the 1700 century!! Like most things, the great inventions and momentous conclusions are mostly things we all knew, but no one took the time to jot down into a specific rule.
The second rule that Newton came up with, was if some force was applied to an object, it can determinately speed up, slow down, change direction or at least have a direct impact on the object. The third rule is actually a doosey, but it is not very difficult to understand. Newton suggested that if you were to hit something, e.g. you car hits another car at 100km/h, the force of the impact would actually mean that your car would hit the other at 100km/h but the other car would also be applying speed to the impact. Your pulling or pushing would be countered by the object also pulling or pushing to an equal extent. This is where Mr Newton was to say: “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
Even in our personal lives this has an effect, for our actions all have reactions, and we have a responsibility for every move we make. Therefore even our smallest action, has an end result. It is called “cause and effect”. Remember, we teach people how to treat us..
