There is nothing right or wrong in the world, just experiences to be a better person, said an international speaker of concepts on securing value and community-based systems.
Pain and suffering helps to awaken oneself and writing down any pain held inside helps to get it out and is effective in a holistic manner, said the speaker, Brandi Veil.
Meditation, including prayers, helps to let go of regrets by changing hormones, shaping ideas and making one feel good and see better while emotional intelligence enables understanding of who needs what and develops intuition, she said.
Addressing a motivation session organised by the Centre for Emotional Intelligence & Innovation at Brac University’s Mohakhali campus on 23 April 2019, Veil said curiosity was like a sponge helping to absorb knowledge.
Stating her belief that one’s personal acts are copied to succeeding generations’ DNA before being reflected in different ages, she suggesting adjusting instead of reacting to TV.
She also recommended waking up every day to a new beginning of thoughts, dealing and giving more, contemplating to self discovery, realisation and deep learning, saying say thank you to more people and being more empathetic.
Veil also advocated for creating a vision statement to find one’s own value in the market and what oneself values, for it shaped what one did, ate, read and watched.
BracU Vice Chancellor Vincent Chang said any journey was worthwhile if it took one out of their comfort zone.
Everyone in the universe is connected, recently verified through a phenomenon called quantum entanglement which states that any speed in the world can be the speed of light, which is the fastest according to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, he said.
That means that any excited particle can instantaneously cause a reaction in another irrespective of the distance, which implies that the future and the past are entangled together, said Vincent.
He also recalled a professor during his time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as saying that art was the best science.
