The five numbers that have the biggest impact on your life -by Hans Decoz


There are five building blocks or "core numbers" that make up the Numerology of you: your Life Path number, your Expression number, your Personality number, your Heart's Desire number and your Birth Day number. Each one is based off of your personal birth name and/or birth date and has its own deep-rooted impact on the person you are today. Here we break down the meaning of these core numbers for a better understanding as you prepare to make your own Numerology calculations.
Your Life Path number

The Life Path number is the single most important number in your Numerology chart, because it acts as a blueprint outlining how your life will play out. Opportunities and challenges faced along the way are heavily influenced by the Life Path ... as is your general character and course of action as you embark on life's journey.

Your Life Path number is based off of the numbers in your full birth date. It encaptures your entire being and will never change, and for those reasons, it's very special.
Your Expression number

While your Life Path number plots your life's lessons and how you handle them, your Expression number is all about your natural strengths and weaknesses given to you at your time of birth. Often referred to as the Destiny number, as it aims for your goal in life, this number is the foundation on which your Life Path can flourish.

Your Expression number is based off of the numbers that correspond to the letters in your full name, and it reveals the talents and abilities instilled in you at birth.

I only recently arrived to study in China, but it doesn't take long to observe that here memorisation is paramount. Remembering rather than understanding appears to be the principal goal of the education system – and that seems archaic to the Western eye. However, the Chinese believe memorising provides a route to understanding.

Words like "uncertainty”, "unwillingness”, "unexpected” and "unwanted” kept cropping up with frustrating developments in the areas of governance, law and order, judiciary, human rights, politics and diplomacy hitting the headlines throughout the outgoing year.

Bangladesh plumbed the depths of despair because of stalemate over Padma bridge project, political volatility over caretaker government issue, forced disappearances, financial scams, violence by Jamaat-Shibir, death of 112 garment workers in a factory blaze and many other disappointing developments.

However, it's not been all doom and gloom. The long chain of unpleasant happenings was interspersed with some good news.

Among the things that gave the people enormous joy and satisfaction were the triumph in the legal battle over maritime boundary with Myanmar; Bangladeshi researchers' success in decoding the genome of a ... Read more »
