нужна помощь =))
ужасно нужна ваща помощь! Если вкратце, то мне нужно написать сочинение в университет. Вот собственно первые наброски на тему "Mind that does not stick". Критика очень-очень приветствуется. Заранее огромное спасибо =)))
I spend hours in Harper College observatory watching stars. Our astronomy team constantly improves equipment so we can make better pictures of stars’ magnificent birth from gas and dust. Every time I come to observatory we start from opening the roof. For me it became a symbol of a door to a magical world of light and darkness. The most astonishing fact about celestial objects is that they are never the same. The clouds of dense gas and dust change every second. By the time my camera catches and exposes the light from M87, the most distant galaxy we can see, the image will be 6.8 billion years old. A simple camera becomes a time machine. I can look deep in the past in the creation of the universe.
I constantly feel that I must revise my state of thinking to understand the rules and patterns of stars that are billion of light years away. The flexibility of the mind is fundamental to understanding of heavens. I exercise my mind the way I used to exercise my body on ballet classes. The purpose is to make my mind flexible and open to let the light of stars to flow in and out.
Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei knew that the planets were revolving around the Sun. However, they did not have the modern technology to scientifically prove it. Only through their open mind and creative thinking those great inventions were possible. When I sit in the observatory connecting right wires to the right telescopes I realize the importance of technology. Our observatory is full of huge telescopes and cameras that track the stars and make changes according to the level of the turbulence. However, there is something more than technology that keeps the science moving forward. One should also have an open flexible mind to see things without telescopes. Our galaxy as well as the entire cosmos is hard to understand using the mechanical thinking. Many of our rules not always apply to the behavior of celestial objects. I often ask myself how our universe was created. Are there any other universes except ours and if there are how do they coexist? Astronomers now think that there many universes and compare them with bubbles in a glass of soda. To think of those models we have to have an open mind, mind that does not stick. By breaking the earth’s rules and constrains we allow the creative thinking to enter. The whole phrase is “the mind that does not stick is a beautiful mind”. The most important is to develop such a mind that perfectly flows so that new feelings, concepts, and understanding can easily enter.
In my astronomy club we know the importance of the development of such an open mind. That is why we organize and held the observatory open days for students of all ages. We sit them on the chairs and open the roof in the observatory ceiling as well as the roof in their minds. Our telescopes are ready to connect them with the stars and new galaxies, to open the new world for them.
In our modern world there is no place for a road already charted. Hence, let us abandon the mechanical passive approach and allow the new experience to be thrilling and exciting. We should not be told what to see, what to believe, and what to feel. The mind that does not stick will find its own way by changing gears, forms, and states. From my Chinese history classes I remember how Confucius encouraged his superior students to take one corner and go and find other three. So let us search, and ask question, and find creative answers. The cosmos is the limit. Let us develop the mind that does not stick because it is truly the most beautiful mind.
