The more unexplainable the mystery is, the more it tickles our imaginations. We were always bewildered by questions like, what happened to Amelia Earhart? Is time travel for real?

Bacon aside, these mysteries range from simple phenomenons, to unexplained objects and events, to unreadable texts and confounding discoveries.

So here we go, some things science can’t fully explain: #1 The Voynich Manuscript Image Credit: CystalLinks The famed and mind-boggling Voynich Manuscript contains 170, 000 characters in its 246 pages.

Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for almost 15 years said to me, “Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing, isn’t she?” I paused for a second and said, “Yes she is. I bet you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis.” “Sweety,” my grandpa said, “I still see her beauty every day.

10 Simple Truths Smart People Forget. Email Some of the smartest people I know continuously struggle to get ahead because they forget to address a few simple truths that collectively govern our potential to make progress. So here’s a quick reminder: #1 – Education and intelligence accomplish nothing without action. It doesn’t matter if you have a genius IQ and a PhD in Quantum Physics, you can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action.

. #2 – Happiness and success are two different things. I know an extremely savvy businesswoman who made almost a million dollars online last year. I also know a surfer who surfs almost all day, every day on the beach in front of our condo complex in San Diego. “What will make me happy?” #3 – Everyone runs their own business. No matter how you make a living or who you think you work for, you only work for one person, yourself. So how can you simultaneously save your time and increase your profit? Is a good read on this topic. And that’s okay. Photo by: Alemdag.
