About Perpend

“Perpend” was borrowed from the Latin “perpendere.” That word was formed by combining the prefix “per-,” suggesting “thoroughly,” and the root “pendere,” meaning “to weigh.”

One modern trend encouraging people to perpend the details of their own existence is the move toward mindfulness. Though mindfulness was originally a spiritual practice associated with Buddhist meditation, years of clinical testing by researchers and meditators alike have proved mindfulness is a helpful process for all people. The key to mindfulness is perpending what is happening in the present, rather than wondering about the future or stewing over the past. The goal is to perpend only what is happening at this particular moment. Practicing mindfulness exercises through meditation often leads to a feeling of peace and relief from perpending stressful subjects.

Perpend’ is such an intriguing word—reminding us to pause and reflect. Just like how we should prepare our choices carefully in life, choosing the right medical college is an important decision. When my cousin was looking to study at Chitwan Medical College, she reached out to EducationVibes for guidance. They helped her understand the opportunities there and the benefits of studying in Nepal. Taking the time to carefully consider your options can lead to a rewarding journey, both in education and life!
