Don't worry too much about the title. The topic today has little to do with mathematics. Rather, it's an exploration of the broad term 'limits'. We all have different limits for different things. For example, we have an anger limit. This is basically an accumulation of things that cause you to become angry. How much you can take is your limit. I do recall an interesting programme on MTV (yes, the one and the same channel which brings to you music among other things) called Boiling Point where a situation is set up such that the producers try to instigate unsuspecting contestants to blow their top within a certain time frame. Those that don't get to win a prize. I find it amusing sometimes at how easily we lose our temper. Thinking back, I also realise that I do have a short fuse though it also depends on the situation.
Then we have another different kind of limit. Endurance limit is another thing which I like to explore. When we are working, there will come a time that our body won't be able to take the work and shut-down as a defense mechanism. So what is this limit? How long can you stay awake studying?
The number of limits to explore are endless. So are these limits fixed? Can they be changed? Common sense suggest that they can. Physical conditioning can improve endurance. Anger management can maybe increase your tolerance level. The leading question would be which can be changed? Which can't? That's probably why I say that limits do have a sum to infinity. Identifying and analysing them would take an eternity.
Enough of all these introspective views. On a lighter note, can Spain lift the Euro 2008 cup? Definitely. Stay tune for results. Till next time, can lies exist in truths? Can truth exist in lies?
