Should you be controlled by your feelings?

NO, we should not be controlled by our feelings, because feelings could be deceptive at times. There are two types of feelings; the good and the bad feelings. The good feeling moves us to do positive things such as praying, studying, helping others and so on, while bad feelings makes us fight and steal.. Bad feelings should be controlled. Through counselling and prayers we can get our feelings controlled.

The best way to manage our feelings, which are emotional, is to exercise patience. If we are controlled by our feelings, we may notbe able to excercise patience which is the best thing to operate by. People see one who is always controlled by his feelings as someone that cannot be relied upon. We should not in any way be controlled by just mere feelings.

We should not be controlled by our feelings because sometimes, it leads us into trouble. When someone offends you,you might feel like killing the person because of what he or she has done. At that point, if we do what we feel like doing, it can cause a lot of problem such as murder and one ends up in jail. We should learn to control our feelings in moments of anger.

Feelings can make us do good or bad. I don’t like being controlled by my feelings, at times, because it can be dangerous. We should not be controlled by our feelings, especially when we are in bad moods. At times we may just take some time out by leaving the environment till good feelings come back to our minds.
— Precious Okwuofu Precious, 12-year-old, J.S.S. 2

We should not be controlled by our feelings because it may make us to lose good opportunities. All we need do when we have been pressured by feelings is to seek elderly counsel and pray to God to direct us into doing what is right and in line with His will. Feelings are not always real.
— Kuadri Ajibola, 13-year-old, J.S.S. 2

Not at all, because our feelings can be tempting, it can lead us to do wrong things. If we do not learn to control our feelings we may end up doing evil and we will be punished for it. Only good feelings should be embraced. When we are tempted by our feelings to do evil we should ask God to help us not to follow the bad feelings.

FAMOUS INVENTIONS

Brief history of digital camera

THE history of the digital camera is quite interesting and it goes back quite a while. In fact, NASA used analog signals for a while and began changing them over to digital signals sometime during the 1960s. During this time, computer use was also increasing significantly and technology for computers increased as well. The government was using digital technology at this time as well in the way of spy satellites.

Soon, the private sector jumped in and helped take digital technology a long way. In the mid ‘70s things started changing significantly and the road to digital cameras was paved. A machine vision camera as well as an industrial camera were introduced during this time frame as well with semi digital capacity but not exactly as we know it today. Nevertheless, digital cameras were well on their way to becoming famous.

In 1994 the first home use digital cameras were developed and marketed. They worked with a serial cable directly connected to the computer. This included the Apple QuickTake 100 camera and the Kodak DC40 as well as several others that showed up between 1995 and 1996. Today digital cameras are super popular and it seems everyone has their very own.

JOKE

Is this love?

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, “I don´t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.” “Is the man of the house home, they asked. “No” she replied. “He´s out.” “Then we cannot come in”, they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. “Go tell them I am home and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited the men in.” “We do not go into a House together,” they replied. “Why is that?” she asked. One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said,pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.” The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!!”, he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!” His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don´t we invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!” “Let us heed our daughter-in-law´s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.” The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.” Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?” The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would´ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!”
