Posted by addisu in Blogroll, Motivation.add a comment
Today we entered the third millennium after the rest of the world celebrated some seven years back. Out calendar is different because we follow ancient Coptic Orthodox Church calendar. The whole new year is based on Birth of Christ either for Ethiopia and the Christian Society in the rest of the world.
Therefore, it is also time to think about Birth of Christ this time again!
It is Meskerem (September) 1, 2000.
Happy Ethiopian New Year! Happy Ethiopian Millennium! MeLkam EnQuTaTaSh! For All Of Us!!!!
- Meles Zenawi - “A thousand years from now, when Ethiopians gather to welcome the fourth millennium, they shall say that the eve of the third millennium was the beginning of the end of the dark ages in Ethiopia. They shall say that the eve of the third millennium was the beginning of the Ethiopian renaissance,”
- Ethiopian President Girma Woldegiorgis pardoned nearly 18,000 prisoners to mark the arrival of the new millennium, the official Ethiopian news agency (ENA) reported.
- Most of the Christian world revised their calendars to account for fifth-century calculations suggesting Jesus had been born eight years earlier than thought, but we Ethiopians have clung to the old system.
Sorry, what year did you say it was?
2007 the rest of the world Christians after the 5th century amendment by re-calculation of the Birth of Christ
1428 the Islamic Hijri calendar began counting in the year of Muhammad’s emigration from Mecca to Medina
1456 the Armenian calendar counts years from 551 when the head of the church declared a new era
2550 Thai calendar counts years from start of the Buddhist Era, the day Thai Buddhists believe the Buddha died
Heisei 19 Japan divides time into eras, commonly associated with the reigns of emperors, and counts years passed in each one
4074 (year of the fire pig) the Chinese calendar began in the reign of the semi-legendary king, Huangdi

I am writing this because, I like Math. I sometimes, believe Math explains most of the phenomena in the world. As modern physics give me a lot of meaning on Gods supernatural power, I found the following coincident a little bit interesting.

What do think about your future careers? November 10, 2006

I think studying back home “i.e. Ethiopia” is much better that learning here in North America. I see young people having many options not to focus in one thing or careers. Obviously there is huge facility in every college and university you go in North America nonetheless most young people are not taking advantage of that. Back home, there is no flexibility to switch between classes. There is no work during evening and weekend or we can’t choose courses as we desired.
Anyway, here are the lists of 5 big careers “big demand and big pay” here in North America; Accounting, Sales and Marketing, Legal (lawyers), Technology (IT), Engineering. Click below to read detail…
I believe all these are attainable. Just take the advantage of the privileges you are given living here instead of taking them as granted.
