Love and It's Type

By  Meredith Shirey, MS, LMFT As a therapist specializing in  relationship issues , I often see people in therapy existentially contemplating what  love  really means. Some wonder whether they truly love(d) their partner, or if their partner truly loves/loved them. These are complicated questions because they often require defining “true love.” This is, of course, a subjective venture; love may look and feel different to different people. But in considering such questions for yourself, it may be helpful to think about love on a couple of levels: ego love and authentic love (often referred to as “soul love”). Ego Love When we determine we have fallen in love with someone, this is often done based on  euphoric  feelings of infatuation. We think about the person constantly, craving connection with them both physically and emotionally. We want to know their thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs. We want to know about their past, be in their prese...

Importance of ‘Consistency’ – Why you MUST Stay Consistent!

 No matter how much talented you are, how much hard working you are, how much smart you are – if there is no consistency in your preparation for this exam (UPSC civil services), you will either fail or unnecessarily prolong this journey making it stressful, burdensome and frustrating.  Being consistent i.e. being regular and steadfast in what you are doing – either making notes from newspapers or from books, writing answers daily, writing essays weekly, solving test papers from test series once in a week or ten days – is the ONLY solution to all your problems. Your problems range from self-doubt to under-confidence to lack of motivation throughout this journey. Once you start procrastinating and being irregular in your studies, undone tasks pile up – creating huge mental burden. This undermines confidence as you can not focus either on future task or on the older one. Eventually you will start a new plan or strategy to suit your present predicament. This cycle continue...

More about object-oriented programming

  Note: This reading contains only a brief introduction to object-oriented programming. A more detailed discussion about the nuances of object oriented programming is beyond the scope of this course. Previously, we identified object-oriented programming as a programming schema that is based around objects, which can contain both data and code that manipulates that data. You may recall that a class is an object’s data type that bundles data and functionality together, and you’ve encountered some examples of this class-specific functionality in the form of methods and attributes. In this reading, you’re going to learn more about object-oriented programming and how it works. Although this certificate program will not require you to define your own classes, having a basic understanding of how this process works will be very helpful when you encounter these concepts along your learning journey. Review: Attributes and methods Python classes are powerful and convenient because they come...
