It’s a good and noble idea to invite others to share ideas and knowledge. By the way, as an English teacher, you are not supposed to be ungrammatical, aren’t you? I read your poems, and some lines violates grammar (well, I think that’s o.k. for literary work). But how about your header saying “Let’s make…..more simple…? Shouldn’t it be “simpler and more….”
Hey, no hurt-feeling, mate! It’s just a comment. Anyway, two thumbs up for you, buddy!

Thanks a lot for your comment mba efi. For the header, i’m deeply aware of such mistake. however, it takes time to fix it because i have to redesign it with some complicated program. It’s a tiring and more, i don’t have time to have it redesigned.
Btw. Thanks a lot for your comment.

Every Body is Smart
The theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) says that human beings are smart in many ways. The theory, which was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner – a professor of education at Harvard University – proposes eight types of intelligences in children and adults. The intelligences are : 1. Linguistic Intelligence (word smart), 2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (number-reasoning smart), 3. Spatial Intelligence (picture smart), 4. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (body smart), 5. Musical-Rhythmic (music smart), 6. Interpersonal Intelligence (people smart), 7. Intra personal Intelligence (self smart), 8. Naturalist Intelligence (nature smart). People who are strong in one or two intelligences can learn and improve other kinds of intelligences in which they are weak. For example, students of English who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence can use their strength to learn English and improve their linguistic intelligence. In time, they can be strong in both intelligences.

* In Islam. Allah SWT said in the holy Qur’an…
“God will not change a nation unless the people themselves chsnge”
* In Christianity :
“Blessed are the pure in heart…Those who have wronged you, I say, forgive not seven times but seventy times seven.” (The Bible)

Actually, in academic writing, we’re free to find any support for our argumentation by quoting some theories or other experts. However, we cannot only quote such theories but also give some evaluation on them. I think, you need to provide some evaluation on those quotations you have mentioned and make conclusion as well.
