BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

  4. Lately it's true that we are living times which are getting tougher and tougher. 2nd Bachelor is a very hard school year because we are being prepared to go to University and you have a lot of pression. Moreover there are another factors which are affecting a lot, such as the economic situation which Spain has been living since too much time. So that's why listening songs like this always gives you energy and positivism to keep fighting for our future.

  5. I love the lyrics of this song and the encouragement it gives to listeners. Everyday brings new challenges and we need to be strong and determined to face them. Sometimes it may feel like you are stuck in a rut when everyday only brings routine ; but it is up to each one of us to make things happen if we feel like this. You have to be brave to step out to try new things. The songs speaks to me personally about this, if we are bold and make things happen, then we become wiser. By: Elena 1ºESO A

  6. In my opinion, this school year is the most difficult of all. All students are under a lot of pressure, because this is our last year before university and the contents are very difficult and long. There are many times I think I can not stand the stress, but I have to think that soon will come the summer and I will enjoy with my friends. In the most stressful moments, music helps to relax and get away from reality. I usually play the piano or listening to soothing music during my study breaks.
    I think we have to be strong and have energy to support this school year because, as Albert says, we not only choose a faculty, we choose our future, our work, our wife ... but yes, WE CAN DO IT!
    PS: Albert, your musical tastes are changing, and that's great. I think it's the first time I agree with you with a song of your blog! hahaha...

  7. Listening music is the best form to escape from the bad times. Nowadays we are living bad times in Spain. Our economic situation is terrible, there are fewer jobs… and our politicians don’t do anything about it. But, although this situation in Spain affects me and my family, I usually listen to music when I’m overwhelmed because I’m in 2ºBachillerato and this is a very hard school year.

    I hadn’t ever listened this song before, but I think that the lyrics express very well how the singer feels and the situation that she is living. This song can help us to be harder and stronger in this year that is being tougher and stressful for all of us.

  8. As my classmates said this school year is very difficult and hard because all of us are preparing to go to University and the little time we have is very stressful. In addition to our school difficult situation, there are also many problems in the country. Therefore when we are wrong, sad...and we have a little free time, we must listen to these songs to encourage us and continue forward.

  10. Hello, my name is Irene Ramón and I am in 1ºA E.S.O. I really like this song, especially the following sentence: "Try and keep your head up to the sky" I think that everybody has to be brave and face all the obstacles that there are in life.

    See you soon!

  11. I agree with all my partners. It is true that this year, maybe, is the most difficult of our lives, but with the help of our family and friends we will succeed. We don’t have time for much, but the little we have left we enjoy it the most, whether with friends, family or practising our favorite hobbies. We also need to disconnect during the week between exam and exam ... and there is no better way to do it than listening to music. It is necessary to make small breaks during the afternoon to recover strength and also talk to our friends to share opinions. These are my pieces of advice to pass this year as well as possible.
    About economic and social problems, the truth is that there are many people having tough times because they have no money for food. At home the situation is not so bad, but it is true that there aren’t many whims as before. But I think we should be positive and think that this will end soon.

  12. I don't think that this year is so much difficult than the others, the only change it's that in a exam, we have to study everything we have studied, I'm not agree with thinking that this year is ''the most difficult in our life'' it's just difficult in the school, but I think that before the studies, it is the family, health and other things that make possible study, for example, if our family has a big problem, I think it's worst that if you have to study a lot. That negative thought not help, it only make you be nervous, and 2º Bach not is the end of our life, if the things not happen like we want, we aren't going to die. I prefer to fail 2º, being happy, that passing it crying and not sleeping, it harms us. In other point of view, we could think that if we pass this year so badly, summer will be absolutely incredible, but it's not my thought way. In the life there are a lot of challenges, and it makes us stronger, and the only it's true, it's that music help a lot, a day when you think that you can't continue, if you listen some music that you like, you will recover your energy to continue and pass all the difficulties of your life.

  13. I think this song is really beautiful. The people should listen songs as this. I love these phrases of the song: "Listen as your day unfolds challenge what the future holds try and keep your head up to the sky." These phrases are very positive and they told us we have to look to the future.
    I had heard this song befere but I hab never stopped to think to sond's lyris.
