Give one important realization you have
learned in BH 1.
How can this realization help improve
yourself?
My Commitment:
Signature/Affirmation:
To value every single thing in our life is one
of the most important realizations I got in
big history 1. The Universe is a simple place.
Vast stretches of space filled with
nothingness. Yet as it developed over
billions of years, it grew increasingly
complex. This is a central concept Big
History 1 will emphasize the ever-increasing
complexity of the Universe.
This realization improves and helps me to
take care my every action I do, life is only
one. Cherish everything surround not only by
seeing earth’s beauty instead by focusing on
the value in it.
Threshold 1 made me try to imagine
something unimaginably tiny, unimaginably
dense, and unimaginably hot. Then
instantaneously, Bang, space, time, and all
molecular material explode in a manner far
beyond what words can describe. I am an
Angelite that becomes competent. I have the
competence to take even unimaginable
dreams in my mind to become a real success
in my future that I will be Bang! An architect
soon.
“If you want to achieve the unimaginable,
you start by doing it”
