Two geometrical objects are called similar if they both have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling, possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other.

The no nonsense, straightforward
Mathematicians love fractions while the rest of the world hates them Yes, one lesson, ten essential ideas, less than ten minutes of reading. . I'm not sure what kind of traumatic events y'all went through in your childhood, but I'm sorry they were so painful.
In TEN FACTS I will break down everything you need to know about fractions as clearly as possible.

fact one

Every fraction has a numerator that equals the number of parts we have and a denominator equalingthe total number of parts in a whole.

Just like cake you could have 2 small pieces or 1 piece twice as big and it's the same amount. Hence a lot of fractions are equivalent, like 2/5 and 4/10.

fact two

Write any whole number over 1 to make it a fraction since the total number of parts in any undivided whole is one.
Note: Mixed numbers must be turned into improper fractions first, read on for more about this.
fact three

Multiplying fractions is easy, just multiply straight across.

fact four

The number 1 is called the multiplicative identity because we can multiply it by any number and the number remains the same. This is important for fractions because often times we need to alter the appearance of a fraction without actually changing its value.

For example, I can change 1/3 into the equivalent fraction 3/9 by multiplying by 3/3.
So what do you do if your fractions do not have the same sizes?
fact five

When adding and subtracting fractions the denominators must be the same. That makes sense. If we wish to combine or take away parts we must be talking about the same sized parts, otherwise it would get confusing.

Multiply by a form of one to change the denominators into a common size. Essentially, we're dividing the fractions into smaller sized pieces until they're the same size. This is called finding a common denominator.

Truthfully, any common denominator will do, but people prefer to find the smallest one. In this case the smallest number both 7 and 3 go into without a remainder is 21. So multiply the first fraction by 3/3 and the second by 7/7.

If you can't think of the least common denominator, you can always multiply each fraction by the opposite denomination. Sometimes, as in this case, that turns out to be the least common denominator. If it isn't, just reduce your answer at the end.

Once the denominators are matching, subtract the numerators to get 8/21.

This works as one would expect. Pictorially, begin with 15 pieces of 21 total.

Remove the coloring from 7 of the 15 blue blocks.

Which leaves 8/21 as expected.

fact six
Note: An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator therefore having a value greater than one.
A mixed number is the combination of a whole number and a fraction.

Mixed numbers don't play well with other fractions. It's a good idea to convert them into improper fractions first.

fact seven

To convert 2 and 4/5 into an improper fraction add 2 + 4/5.

Step 1: Begin by rewriting 2 as 2/1.

Step 2: Multiply 2/1 by 5/5 to make an equivalent fraction of 10/5 which has the desired common denominator of 5.

Step 3: Add 10/5 + 4/5.

Our result is the equivalent improper fraction 14/5.

To convert back to a mixed number perform the division. For example, 5 goes into 14 two times (since 5 x 2 = 10) with 4 pieces left over.

fact eight

Note: the greater than/less than symbol always opens toward the larger value.

Suppose we wanted to determine which is bigger: 5/12 or 6/13.

Step one: Multiply a diagonal and write the product above the numerator.

Step two: Multiply the other diagonal and write its product above its numerator.

Step three: Compare the products. The side with the larger product is the larger fraction. So in this case, 5/12 is less than 6/13.

We can determine if fractions are equal using cross products too.

The cross product of 3/7 and 12/28 are both 84, therefore 3/7 = 12/28.

fact nine

The best thing about fractions is that you can find plenty of opportunities to cancel. Which makes them quick and easy to manage.

Suppose I have the fraction 8/10. Both 8 and 10 can be rewritten with 2 as a factor.

Because 2/2 = 1, I can cancel out the 2's leaving 4/5 as the reduced fraction.

Utilize this strategy to make multiplying fractions easier as well.

Begin by rewriting each numbers in factors.

Cancel any number pairs that divide to 1. For instance, 5/5 = 1.

I have another pair of 5's as well as a pair of 3's that divide to 1 as well.
There are two halves in a whole, therefore there are 10 halves in 5 wholes.
Oops! I could have rewritten 6 as 2 x 3 and cancelled a pair of 2's. It's okay if you miss a factor, just keep going until you get them all.

Had multiplied 15/25 times 10/18 directly it would have been a lot of arithmetic, using canceling I pre-reduce the fractions and make it simpler to multiply.

1. We can multiply by any form of one (i.e anything over itself)

2. Multiplying by the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3, results in 1 via canceling

fact ten

The concept of dividing fractions is easy with simple examples such as:

But the concept gets tricky with more complicated fractions.

To solve this problem we'll utilize two facts:

Step one: Begin by multiplying by the reciprocal over itself.

Now we have two smaller problems to solve (blue and green).

Step two: Cancel out anything that divides to 1 in the bottom (green) fraction. This should always result in 1.

Now we are left with the top problem to solve.

Step three: Use canceling to pre-reduce the fraction. After making these reductions, multiply across to obtain 4/3.

Shortcut

This is the long hand mechanics of "flip and multiply."

We can skip multiplying by the reciprocal on bottom since it always cancels to 1. Therefore all you need to do is multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

Why does the cross product trick work?

Great question! To generalize, make two fractions using the letters a, b, c, and d to represent four different numbers.
Stay up-to-date with everything Math Hacks is up to!
Multiply both fractions by b*d (this will enable us to cancel out the denominators).

Now cancel the b's on the left and the d's on the right since they divide to 1. We no longer have fractions, just the products d*a and c*b.

Look back at the original fractions. These are the same products as if we had multiplied the diagonals. Therefore, the shortcut is to compare the cross product.

The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Definition: The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line.

Try this Adjust the line below by dragging an orange dot at point A or B. The slope of the line is continuously recalculated. You can also drag the origin point at (0,0).

The slope of a line (also called the gradient of a line) is a number that describes how "steep" it is. In the figure above press 'reset'. Notice that for every increase of one unit to the right along the horizontal x-axis, the line moves down a half unit. It therefore has a slope of -0.5. To get from point A to B along the line, we have to move to the right 30 units and down 15. Again, this is a half unit down for every unit across.

Because the line slopes downwards to the right, it has a negative slope. As x increases, y decreases. If the line sloped upwards to the right, the slope would be a positive number. Adjust the points above to create a positive slope.

Formula for the slope
Given any two points on the line, its slope is given by the formula

where:

A x

is the x coordinate of point A

A y

is the y coordinate of point A

B x

is the x coordinate of point B

B y

is the y coordinate of point B

It does not matter which point you choose for A or B. So long as they are both on the line somewhere, the formula will produce the correct slope.

Example
In the diagram at the top of the page click on "reset". Substituting the coordinates for A and B into the formula, we get
Finding the slope of a line by inspection
Rather than just plugging numbers into the formula above, we can find the slope by understanding the concept and reasoning it out. Refer to the line below, defined by two given points A, B. We can see that the line slopes up and to the right so the slope will be positive.

1. Calculate dx, the horizontal distance from the left point to the right point. Since B is at (15,5) its x-coordinate is the first number, 15. The x-coordinate of A is 30. So the difference (dx) is 15.

2. Calculate dy, the amount the line rises or falls as you go to the right. Since B is at (15,5) its y-coordinate is the second number or 5. The y-coordinate of A is 25. So the difference (dy) is +20.
It is positive because the line goesup as you go to the right. It would have been negative otherwise.

3. Dividing the rise (dy) by the run (dx):

A way to remember this method is "rise over run". It is the "rise" - the up and down difference between the points, over the "run" - the horizontal run between them. Just remember that rise going downwards is negative.

Slope direction
The slope of a line can positive, negative, zero or undefined.

Positive slope
Here, yincreases as x increases, so the line slopes upwards to the right. The slope will be a positive number. The line on the right has a slope of about +0.3, it goesup about 0.3 for every step of 1 along the x-axis.
Negative slope
Here, ydecreases as x increases, so the line slopes downwards to the right. The slope will be a negative number. The line on the right has a slope of about -0.3, it goesdown about 0.3 for every step of 1 along the x-axis.
Zero slope
Here, ydoes not change as x increases, so the line in exactly horizontal. The slope of any horizontal line is always zero. The line on the right goes neither up nor down as x increases, so its slope is zero.
Undefined slope
When the line is exactly vertical, it does not have a defined slope. The two x coordinates are the same, so the difference is zero. The slope calculation is then something like

When you divide anything by zero the result has no meaning. The line above is exactly vertical, so it has no defined slope. We say "the slope of the line AB is undefined".
A vertical line has an equation of the form x = a, where a is the x-intercept. For more on this see Slope of a vertical line.

Equation of a line
The slope m of a line is one of the elements in the equation of a line when written in the "slope and intercept" form: y = mx+b. Them in the equation is the slope of the line described here.
For more on this see:

Slope as an angle

The slope of the line can also be expressed as an angle, usually in degrees or radians.

In the figure above click on "show angle". By convention the angle is measured from any horizontal line (parallel to x-axis). Lines with a positive slope (up and to the right) have a positive angle, and a negative angle for a negative slope. Change the slope by dragging A or B and see this for yourself.
To convert from slope m to slope angle and back: Tan, and its inverse arctan, are described in Trigonometry Overview
Things to try

1. In the above diagram, Drag the points A and B around and notice how the calculated slope changes. Try and get a positive, negative, zero and undefined slope

2. Click "hide details". Drag A and B to some new locations and calculate the slope of the line yourself. Then click "show details" and see how close you got. For a bonus, estimate the slope from two points on the line of your own choosing, rather than A and B.

3. Adjust the points A and B to get a slope of +1 and -1. What do you notice about the slope? (Answer: the slope is 45° - the line is half way between vertical and horizontal). Click on "show angle" to verify.

Limitations

In the interest of clarity in the applet above, the coordinates are rounded off to integers and the lengths rounded to one decimal place. This can cause calculatioons to be slightly off.

It would be fun to do a merchandising project!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What is Merchandising?

Merchandising is the practice and process of displaying and selling products to customers. Whether digital or in-store, retailers use merchandising to influence customer intent and reach their sales goals.

In both brick-and-mortar and digital stores, a variety of merchandising techniques are used to arrange products, communicate their value, and create an optimal customer experience. Many disciplines fit under the umbrella of merchandising, and there are a variety of merchandising types. These include, but are not limited to:

Product merchandising

Retail merchandising

Visual merchandising

Digital merchandising

Omnichannel merchandising

For an in-depth look at merchandising's origins and future directions, Retailing by Patrick M. Dunne, Robert F. Lusch, and James R. Carver is a classic resource:

A great way to answer "what is merchandising?" is to tie it back to history.

For starters, merchandising is old as trade itself. Buyers and sellers have always entered into dynamic relationships whereby the former was focused on providing enough value to make the sale and the latter was focused on understanding if the value was worth the buy.

Step into the markets of Varanasi, India, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities, and you'll see that there are parallels between ancient forms of merchandising and even the most digitally-focused responsive merchandising efforts of today.

Like most of the world's outdoor marketplaces and certainly like the merchandising spaces within shopping malls, elements of visual merchandising are on full display in Varanasi. And many of today's merchandising techniques, including the use of color and the manipulation of traffic, are used as well.

What we see today as new merchandising techniques are simply fresh takes on what has existed for millennia.

Today's use of holograms to get the attention of shopping mall visitors, for example, isn't all that different to how snake charmers in Varanasi draw the attention of tourists to particular stands.

And merchandising displays have always been important, whether we're talking about iPhones or meat.

Cycles and variety in merchandising

Today's merchandisers, just as they've always done, are leaning into changes rather than holding on to what's comfortable. They're at once embracing new technologies and listening to customers. And they're shaping (and being shaped by) digital merchandising's continuous evolution.

However, to understand merchandising, it's important to understand how cycles and variety play key roles.

For example, some merchandisers, such as chocolate shops, can see upwards of 80% of their total sales come during the holiday season. For them, constantly creating new chocolates, discounts, and enticing displays will not be as important as making sure they have a strong merchandising strategy for the months of October, November and December.

Additionally, what merchandising is (and what form it takes) depends quite a bit on the variety (of geography and of the products and services themselves).

In San Francisco, for example, hardware merchandisers aren't going to be displaying bags of salt and snow shovels the way they will in Chicago.

So while the fundamentals of merchandising will remain the same, the strategies and techniques of the practice will change. This can include changes in the following, among others:

How first impressions are made

How lighting is used

How traffic is manipulated

Which metrics are tracked

Which scientific merchandising principles should be applied

Supply chains in merchandising

Lastly, no discussion of the basics of merchandising can be complete without mentioning the merchandising supply chain.

Whereas many students see merchandising as the visual display and advertising of products, merchandising also involves the behind-the-scenes work of making the products available.

This can include ordering from wholesalers and managing merchandise inventory, which incorporates elements of accounting and business management.

"I'm just running around in circles all the time"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many objects that we come across in our daily life are 'round' in shape such as a coin, bangles, bottle caps, the Earth, wheels etc. In layman terms, the round shape is often referred to as a circle. A closed plane figure, which is formed by the set of all those points which are equidistant from a fixed point in the same plane, is known as a circle. In other words, a circle can be described as the locus of a point moving in a plane, in such a way that its distance from a fixed point is always constant. The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the constant distance between any point on the circle and its centre is called the radius.

Names of parts of a circle

A circle can have different parts and based on the position and shape, these can be named as follows:

As we have already discussed the centre and radius of a circle. And the diameter is equal to the twice the radius. Let us see the other parts of a circle in detail.

Circumference of Circle

The circumference of a circle can be defined as the distance around it. This can be understood with the help of an example. Suppose a wire of length 10 cm is bent so that it forms a circle. Here, the circumference is equal to the length of the wire, i.e. 10 cm.
How to draw a circle?
Figure 1 given above, represents a circle with radius 'r' and centre 'O'. A circle of any particular radius can be easily traced using a compass. The pointed leg of the compass is placed on the paper and the movable leg is revolved as shown. The traced figure gives us a circle.
Position of Points of a circle
In the below figure, various points are marked lying either outside or inside the circle or on the circle. Based on this any point can be defined as:

1. Exterior Point: Points lying in the plane of the circle such that its distance from its centre is greater than the radius of the circle are exterior points. A point X is exterior point w.r.t to circle with centre 'O' if OX > r. In fig. 2 A, D, G and B are exterior points.

2. Interior Points: Point lying in the plane of the circle such that its distance from its centre is less than the radius of the circle is known as the interior point. A point X is interior-point w.r.t to circle with centre 'O' if OX < r. In fig. 2 C, F, and E are interior points.

3. Points on the circumference of a circle: Points lying in the plane of the circle such that its distance from its centre is equal to the radius of a circle. In simple words, a set of points lying on the circle are points on the circumference of a circle.

A point X is said to lie on the circumference of a circle with centre 'O' if OX = r

In fig. 2, points P, S and R lie on the circumference of a circle and on joining these points with the centre, i.e. OR, OP and OS will represent the radius of the given circle.

Now that you have learned about a point and its relative position with respect to a circle; let's understand a line and its relative position with respect to a circle. Given a line and a circle, it could either be touching the circle or non-touching as shown below:
Secant
In the first fig. the line AB intersects the circle at two distinct points P and Q. The line AB here is called secant of the circle. The line segment PQ is known as the chord of the circle as its endpoints lie on the circumference of the circle. A chord passing through a centre of the circle is known as the diameter of the circle and it is the largest chord of the circle.
Tangent
In the second figure, the line AB touches the circle exactly at one point, P. A line touching the circle at one single point is known as the tangent to the circle.

In the last figure, the line does not touch the circle anywhere, therefore, it is known as a non- intersecting line.
Chord
A line segment joining two different points on the circumference of a circle is called a chord of the circle. A circle can have any number of chords. Diameter is the largest chord of a circle.

Arc of a circle

A part of a circumference of the circle is known as an arc. An arc is a continuous piece of the circle.

The arc PAQ is known as the minor arc and arc PBQ is the major arc.

Now go through the circular region which is cut off from the rest of the circle by a secant or a chord.
Segment
Part of a circle bounded by a chord and an arc is known as a segment of the circle. The figure given below depicts the major and minor segments of the circle.
Sector
A sector of a circle is the part bounded by two radii and an arc of a circle. In the below-given fig. AOB is a sector of a circle with O as centre.

Parts of a circle diagram

The figure given below illustrates the various terms related to parts of a circle as explained above.

14 Dedication Quotes to Inspire Commitment (PASSION)

Conclusion: The Importance of Being Dedicated

Dedication is described on Lexico.com as the quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose. ( Source)

A good example of dedication is when J.R.R. Tolkien spent 17 years writing The Lord of the Rings, his sequel to The Hobbit. The highly acclaimed sequel has been a book reader's favorite for many years and has created several movie franchises over time.

Therefore, it is easy to believe that dedication is crucial to success. People may possess many traits that could enable them to succeed such as talent, skill, connections, or finances, but these are nothing without dedication and taking the time to work for success.

Dedication then is the ability to give one's all or 100% to a task or cause. Dedication also motivates a person to try and try again despite experiencing setbacks.

With dedication one is taught discipline and passion and it helps keep a person focused on a task. A person becomes more motivated to see the result of the task they started on when they are dedicated to this.

In a work environment, dedication may help in opening up bigger and better job opportunities. When employers or managers see an employee's dedication and willingness to achieve a task, they are more inclined to offering better roles for them in the company.

Here are the best Dedication quotes so you can become more optimistic and see possibilities instead of limitations.

Kindness is a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two children sharing a soft drink at the White House, 1922.

Placard for kindness, at the People's Climate March (2017)

Kindness is a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, rendering assistance, or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward in return.

Kindness is a topic of interest in philosophy, religion, and psychology. Kindness was one of the main topics in the Bible. In Book II of Rhetoric, Aristotle defines kindness as "helpfulness towards someone in need, not in return for anything, nor for the advantage of the helper himself, but for that of the person helped". Friedrich Nietzsche considered kindness and love to be the "most curative herbs and agents in human intercourse". Kindness is one of the Knightly Virtues. In Meher Baba's teachings, God is synonymous with kindness: "God is so kind that it is impossible to imagine His unbounded kindness!"

In English, the word kindness dates from approximately 1300, though the word's sense evolved to its current meanings in the late 1300s.

Over time, it has acted in part of a personality trait as a long tradition of generosity through human cultures and family-friendly benefits in the concept of hospitality.[needs copy edit ]

Human mate choice studies suggest that both men and women value kindness in their prospective mates, along with intelligence, physical appearance, attractiveness, and age.

Studies at Yale University using games with babies concluded that kindness is inherent to human beings. There are similar studies about the root of empathy in infancy - with motor mirroring developing in the early months of life, and leading (optimally) to the concern shown by children for their peers in distress.

Barbara Taylor and Adam Phillips stressed the element of necessary realism[jargon ] in adult kindness, as well as the way "real kindness changes people in the doing of it, often in unpredictable ways".

2018 Women's March in Missoula, Montana

Behaving kindly may improve a person's measurable well-being. Many studies have tried to test the hypothesis that doing something kind makes a person better off. A meta-analysis of 27 such studies found that the interventions studied (usually measuring short-term effects after brief acts of kindness, in WEIRD research subjects) supported the hypothesis that acting more kind improves your well-being.

Some thinkers have suggested that kindness can be weaponized to discourage enemies:

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink; for by doing so thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

You should respond with kindness toward evil done to you, and you will destroy in an evil person that pleasure which he derives from evil.

Kindness is most often taught from parents to children and is learned through observation and some direct teaching. Studies have shown that through programs and interventions kindness can be taught and encouraged during the first 20 years of life. Further studies show that kindness interventions can help improve wellbeing with comparable results as teaching gratitude. Similar findings have shown that organizational level teaching of kindness can improve wellbeing of adults in college.

It won't be much, but I should like to do it on account of his kindness about the boat.

But do try to believe, at the same time, that my own selfishness has been a kindness to you.

And she never so much as dreamt that he would cast an eye on her save in kindness.

This object, through the kindness of friends, was accomplished.

He was resolved to let me see, that I should have nothing to expect from his kindness.

"Ask Mrs. Holroyd if she will have the kindness to come here for a minute," he said to the servant.

O the words of kindness, all to be expressed in vain, that flowed from her lips!

And I know papa will be so grateful to you for all your kindness to me!

The family affection of the Jew, his kindness to his kindred, have become proverbial.

We must be ready to do good to all who are in need of our help and kindness.

- Question -
What is kindness? I mean, what is kindness really?
How can I understand kindness better?

Kindness is - and always will be - one of the most beautiful and powerful forces for good that exists in the entire world.

Why?

It's because kindness is love:

Kindness Is Love In Action.

Kindness is all the different ways - both big and small - we express care, concern, and consideration for ourselves and those with whom we share the world.

Kindness shows up as a supportive smile, a comforting embrace, and a helping hand when we need it the most - but may expect it the least.

It exists as heartfelt words of encouragement, thoughtful gestures of affection, and compassionate acts of generosity so many of us witness, perform, and receive as we move through life.

In a world filled with struggle and pain, kindness is like a deep cleansing breath that rejuvenates us with its purity, refreshes us with its goodness, and gives us the strength to persevere despite our troubles.

Kindness is a reminder of why we're here and how we can each use our lives to help others.

Kindness is a source of some of man's greatest joys and a reason why life is beautiful, even though it's challenging.

Join Me In Taking A Closer Look At Kindness

Together, let's explore the following:

1. The definition of kindness and why kindness involves choice;

2. A list of kindness synonyms and the universal theme that unites these related words; and

3. The best way to understand the true meaning of kindness and the wonderful ways kindness can change the world and us.

Ready? Let's jump right in!

First, Let's Look At A Kindness Definition

Quick question - Have you ever tried to look up "kindness" in an official dictionary?

If you have, you might have found a formal definition of kindness that looked a little something like this:

"The quality of being kind."

While that may be an accurate definition of kindness, it can feel a bit disappointing because it doesn't seem to do the word "kindness" justice.

Perhaps partly due to its brevity, the above kindness definition fails to convey kindness' immensity. In addition, it creates the follow-up question of "well, then, what is the definition of kind?"

Another Way To Define Kindness

It isn't easy to define something as significant as kindness, so it's understandable different people may define kindness in different ways.

Here's one way to define kindness:

Kindness is the sincere and voluntary use of one's time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others, one's own life, and the world through genuine acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.

Moreover, kindness involves choice.

Kindness involves choice because there are many alternatives to kindness that will tempt us through life - including, of course, apathy and anger.

Circumstances may test us. People may try us. News may trouble us. Yet, despite these obstacles, we each have the beautiful ability to actively choose to be kind.

In addition, kindness involves choice because there are so many different ways to be kind.

Every time each of us performs an act of kindness, we each get to choose fun answers to great questions such as the following:

Who can I be kind to?

How kind can I be?

What acts of kindness can I do?

Choice doesn't have to create complexity. In the case of kindness, it creates convenience.

Since there are always opportunities and great ways to be kind, kindness will forever have a place in our lives and in our world as long as people continue to intentionally choose it.

Next, Let's Turn Our Attention To Kindness Synonyms

When we view words that are similar to "kindness", we gain additional perspective about what kindness means.

In addition, we might be able to spot a common theme that unites these related words.

Here's a List of Kindness Synonyms:
Click here for more kindness synonyms.
A Couple Of Observations

First, as you can see based on its synonyms, kindness is in great company.

Second, a common theme kindness seems to share with the synonyms of kindness listed above appears to be love.

Love Is At The Core Of Kindness

Love is the invisible thread that ties kindness to its peers.

Love is the origin of the affectionate, empathetic, and supportive undertone that exists not only in kindness, but also in each and every kindness synonym.

This undeniable presence of love, however, comes as no great surprise because, as mentioned earlier, kindness is a form of love:

Kindness Is Love In Action.

Kindness is a way love is expressed, a reason love multiplies, and an example of what is possible when love is prioritized.

That's why kindness is so hard to capture with just words.

Since kindness is love in action, it's challenging to fully express the magnitude and magnificence of kindness through just synonyms and definitions.

Words on a page can begin to paint a picture, but they can never thoroughly represent all that's special about kindness or all that kindness can accomplish once it's put out into the world.

With its brilliant beauty and endless ability to elevate, kindness is so much more - more splendid, more substantial, more satisfying - than can ever be completely described in even the most carefully crafted sentences.

Kindness definitions and kindness synonyms are useful, but these two teaching tools simply scratch the surface of the true meaning of kindness:

It's one thing to be taught kindness.

It's another thing to be touched by it.

Kindness Definitions And Kindness Synonyms Are Only The Beginning

If we want to truly understand "what is kindness?", then we need to do more than just read about it.

We need to branch out beyond the confines of what can be written and immerse ourselves in the beauty of what can be felt.

Fortunately, this leads us right to the very best way to discover the essence, impact, and importance of kindness.

Now, Let's Uncover The Best Way To Understand The True Meaning Of Kindness

Okay, so if synonyms and definitions of kindness show just one, albeit necessary, piece of the pleasurable puzzle that is kindness - how else can we better understand kindness?

What do we have to do to really understand what kindness means to others, to ourselves, and to the world?
The simple truth is there's no substitute for experience:
The Best Way To Understand Kindness Is To Practice Kindness.

If we want to know the real meaning of kindness, then we must take the time to intentionally spread kindness. More specifically, we must do the following:

When we actively choose to be kind, we see the real power of kindness is best understood when realized, instead of just researched - when kindness is actually dispersed, instead of just discussed.

We see kindness is so meaningful, magnetic, and memorable, in part, because kindness can make us and those around us feel utterly incredible - incredibly useful, incredibly optimistic, and incredibly honored to be of genuine service to others.

Most of all, when it comes to kindness, we see the reason it's far more fulfilling to initiate than to investigate is because kindness truly is love.

Kindness Really Is Love In Action

As love, kindness is an antidote to hate.

It is a wellspring of hope and a counterbalance to despair.

Kindness is a gift everyone can give - every day - not only to others, but also to ourselves.

In addition, the gift of kindness is a gift that keeps on giving.

Sincere kindness does so much more than just make us smile. It stays with us. It lingers.

As it disarms our shields of cynicism and reaffirms our faith in humanity, it marks us - kindness changes us.

Despite how low we feel or how far we've fallen, great acts of kindness pick us up, dust us off, and urge us to stand tall regardless of the weight of our burdens.

Therein lies the beauty of kindness.

Kindness provides both comfort and clarity. It ignites, even as it soothes.

Kindness shows us we're all worth the effort and all our efforts have worth.

So Don't Just Ponder Kindness - Practice Kindness

Make the effort to perform random acts of kindness for strangers, as well as the people you know the most. Do good deeds that make people smile for no other reason than simply because you can. Take a KIE Kindness Challenge and commit to it.

Let's make the world our classroom and our actions our guides.

Only then will we know the true effects of kindness on ourselves and the world around us. Only then will we realize what kindness really means.

In addition, even as we intentionally seek to be kind to others, we must never ever forget to also actively be kind to ourselves.

Loving ourselves as unconditionally and as kindly as we love those around us not only fuels our own desire to be our best selves, but also inspires others to want to be theirs.

The best way to understand kindness is to try to be an endless source of it:

Experience is an excellent educator.

Finally, Is There Anything Else We Need To Know About Kindness?

Well, in our attempt to address kindness, we've covered a lot of ground:

We've discussed kindness definitions, kindness synonyms, and the benefits of practicing kindness in order to best understand it.

However, as you can see below, there are two more things we need to know:

1. We need to know kindness can change the world.

2. We need to know kindness can change us, too.

Kindness Can Change the World

We've already mentioned kindness is love in action.

However, because kindness is love in action, that means kindness is also the following:

a bridge to peace and harmony;

a creator of laughter and delight;

a tool that can tighten and strengthen bonds;

a bucket that can douse bitterness and blame;

a key that can unlock self-imposed prisons such as selfishness and hostility;

and so much more...

Since kindness brings out the very best in human nature and can spread quickly from person to person, kindness is a catalyst for change - but not just any change:

Kindness is a catalyst for the type of genuine, positive change that slowly, but surely lays the groundwork for a better, brighter, and more beautiful future so long as kindness continues to be released into the world.

After all, kindness compounds.

Kindness builds.

It taps into the inherent goodness that resides in each of us and grows steadily stronger with every act of kindness that's performed.

Day by day and smile by smile, as more good people do good things, kindness gains mass and momentum:

Like a snowball rolling down a steep hill, kindness increases and intensifies until it becomes such a formidable force for good it knocks down the evil barriers of anger and animosity that stand between us and the peaceful world we want.

Kindness is crucial, contagious, and completely capable of changing the world for the better if only we commit ourselves to spreading it.

Kindness Can Change Us, Too

Besides being good for the world, kindness is also one of the most rewarding ways each and every one of us can use our lives to make a difference.

So many of us want to be our best selves.

We constantly fill our heads with knowledge, our bodies with nutrients, and our days with goals - mainly in the hopes we'll lead lives that make us proud.

We don't know how much time we have here on Earth, but we do know we want to do things that matter. We dream about ways we can do something important or do something meaningful with our lives in a desire to make an impact.

One of the most important and meaningful things we can do with our lives, however, is to actively be kind.

That means we don't have to wait for some unknown future date to do something great or important for the world. Through kindness, we can do something important every single day and not only end up changing the world for the better, but also ourselves as well:

When we're kind to others, we make people feel valued and encourage them to reach their greatest heights. We see beyond the scope of our own individual problems and work to use our lives to do the most good for the most amount of people so the world is a better place because of it.

When we're kind to ourselves, we refuse to let ourselves be devalued and courageously fight to reach our own greatest heights. We see beyond the scope of our multiple failures and work to unleash the immense power of our potential so we, too, are better people because of it.

Kindness is our ally.

Kindness is our friend.

Kindness pushes us to be our best by reminding us to love ourselves and the people with whom we share the world.

Kindness changes us by challenging us to not be satisfied with mediocrity, but to dare to do better - to strive to be better.

We often think of kindness as something that changes the lives of others.

However, when we actively choose to be kind, the lives we change the most are often our own.

So What Is Kindness?

As you can see above, kindness is so much more than just one thing.
Kindness is many things:

Kindness is a form of love and a way love forms.

Kindness is a way to change the world for the better and a way to better ourselves for the world.

Kindness is a potential path to happiness and a happy way for us to potentially find our paths.

Kindness is not just simple - it's satisfying.

It's not just invigorating - it's inspiring.

It's not just touching - it's transforming.

Kindness isn't just this thing or that thing.

What Is Kindness?

Kindness Is Everything.

The mean is the average of the numbers.

It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

The mean is the average of the numbers.

It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

Example 1: What is the Mean of these numbers?

Why Does This Work?

It is because 6, 11 and 7 added together is the same as 3 lots of 8:

It is like you are "flattening out" the numbers

Example 2: Look at these numbers:

3, 7, 5, 13, 20, 23, 39, 23, 40, 23, 14, 12, 56, 23, 29

The sum of these numbers is 330

There are fifteen numbers.

The mean is equal to 330 / 15 = 22

The mean of the above numbers is 22

Negative Numbers

How do you handle negative numbers? Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the number (without the negative). For example 3 + (−2) = 3−2 = 1.

Knowing this, let us try an example:

Example 3: Find the mean of these numbers:

Here is how to do it one line:

Try it yourself!
Now have a look at The Mean Machine. Advanced Topic: the mean we have just looked at is also called the Arithmetic Mean, because there are other means such as the Geometric Mean and Harmonic Mean.

find the average

A typical example would be the case where nearly every person in a given population lives on about two dollars a day, but there is a small elite with incomes in the millions. The numerical average can mislead by suggesting that the average (in this case, we mean "typical") person earns a few tens of thousands per year. But this does not accurately reflect what we mean when we're trying to discuss the "average" income. This is why the average income is typically expressed by a different sort of average.

What are the three averages?

The three averages are:

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, so you may have to rewrite your list before you can find the median.

The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number in the list is repeated, then there is no mode for the list.

The "range" of a list a numbers is just the difference between the largest and smallest values. It expresses "spread", being how far the values are distributed (or how concentrated they are).

Find the mean, median, mode, and range for the following list of values:

13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13

The mean is the usual average, so I'll add and then divide:

Note that the mean, in this case, isn't a value from the original list. This is a common result. You should not assume that your mean will be one of your original numbers; you should not be surprised when it isn't.

The median is the middle value, so first I'll have to rewrite the list in numerical order:

There are nine numbers in the list, so the middle one will be the (9 + 1) ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2 = 5th number:

So the median is 14.

The mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other, so 13, I see from my listing above, is the mode.

The largest value in the list is 21, and the smallest is 13, so the range is 21 − 13 = 8.

Note: The formula for the place to find the median is "([the number of data points] + 1) ÷ 2", but you don't have to use this formula. You can just count in from both ends of the list until you meet in the middle, if you prefer, especially if your list is short. Either way will work.

Find the mean, median, mode, and range for the following list of values:

1, 2, 4, 7

The mean is the usual average:

The median is the middle number. In this example, the numbers are already listed in numerical order, so I don't have to rewrite the list. But there is no "middle" number, because there are an even number of numbers.

Because of this, the median of the list will be the mean (that is, the usual average) of the middle two values within the list. The middle two numbers are 2 and 4, so:

So the median of this list is 3, a value that isn't in the list at all.

The mode is the number that is repeated most often, but all the numbers in this list appear only once, so there is no mode.

The largest value in the list is 7, the smallest is 1, and their difference is 6, so the range is 6.

The values in the list above were all whole numbers, but the mean of the list was a decimal value. Getting a decimal value for the mean (or for the median, if you have an even number of data points) is perfectly okay; don't round your answers to try to match the format of the other numbers.

Find the mean, median, mode, and range for the following list of values:

8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 13

The mean is the usual average, so I'll add up and then divide:

The median is the middle value. In a list of ten values, that will be the (10 + 1) ÷ 2 = 5.5-th value; the formula is reminding me, with that "point-five", that I'll need to average the fifth and sixth numbers to find the median. The fifth and sixth numbers are the last 10 and the first 11, so:

The mode is the number repeated most often. This list has two values that are repeated three times; namely, 10 and 11, each repeated three times.

The largest value is 13 and the smallest is 8, so the range is 13 − 8 = 5.

As you can see, it is possible for two of the averages (the mean and the median, in this case) to have the same value. But this is not usual, and you should not expect it.

Note: Depending on your text or your instructor, the above data set may be viewed as having no mode rather than having two modes, because no single solitary number was repeated more often than any other. I've seen books that go either way on this; there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the "right" definition of "mode" in the above case. So if you're not certain how you should answer the "mode" part of the above example, ask your instructor before the next test.

How can I keep straight which average is which?

About the only hard part of finding the mean, median, and mode is keeping straight which "average" is which. Use this list:

mean: regular meaning of "average"

median: middle value

mode: most often

(In the above, I've used the term "average" rather casually. The technical definition of what we commonly refer to as the "average" is technically called "the arithmetic mean": adding up the values and then dividing by the number of values. Since you're probably more familiar with the concept of "average" than with "measure of central tendency", I used the more comfortable term.)

A student has gotten the following grades on his tests: 87, 95, 76, and 88. He wants an 85 or better overall for the course. Assuming all tests are evenly weighted, what is the minimum grade he must get on the last test in order to achieve that overall average?

The minimum grade for the last test is what I need to find. To find the average of all his grades (the known ones, plus the unknown one), I have to add up all the grades, and then divide by the number of grades. Since I don't have a score for the last test yet, I'll use a variable to stand for this unknown value: "". Then, setting the expression for the average equal to the desired average, the computation is:

Multiplying through by 5 and simplifying, I get:

This is the score that he needs on the last test in order to get the overall grade that he is wanting. (If I doubt myself, I can always plug this value into the formula for the average, and confirm that I get 85 as the result.)

When it's unique, the mode is the value that appears the most often in a data set and it can be used as a measure of central tendency, like the median and mean. But sometimes, there is no mode or there is more than one mode. There is no mode when all observed values appear the same number of times in a data set
