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. Winning the lottery is usually taken as positive thing but as everything, has many negative things , and some people are not able to appreciate it . I say this because there are many people who win the lottery but does not change their consumption habits, that wants to look like rich people buying cars, houses , jewelry and unnecessary things ... At the end of two years they have nothing of what they won. there will be people who can create a business or store and save money. But mostly just so you get wealth through work , savings and accumulation, gives way in the values ​​and principles about money, is valued more. even more than winning the lottery. A greeting.

  5. We are in a crisis situation. The crisis began in 2008. When we focus on something, we think we're going to make money. If I won the lottery would buy many things: a boat, a luxury car, an airplane .... Money isn't happiness, when we have money we do not do with it. We would buy things that we do not lack. If I won the lottery I would go to study abroad and help people who need money to live and eat. I would buy a mansion for my family

  6. In my opinion the lottery is an exciting thing, but sometimes is a bad thing for some people that spend too much money in the lottery. The probability of win the jackpot is 0.00001%, it is too little the percent so it is very difficult to win the highest price. Another problem is that when you win the price you have to give to the government a percent of the price so if you win 10.000.000 $ you have to give to the government a 1.000.000$.

    If I won the lottery I would be very happy and I would be 10.000.000$ more rich. I know that be rich means be happy, but I would some new things like an expensive watch, a new computer... I wouldn’t give too much money to my father or my brother, I don’t want to be mean, but it is real. I wouldn’t spent all my money because if for example I have spent all my money and I to pay high taxes, I will can’t afford it and I will be arrested. I wouldn’t spend money in expensive and fast cars, because this type of cars consume to much fuel, so I will spent too much money in fuel.

  7. Lottery is something that if you won it, you would be rich or at least live better than before. However,does lottery make you happy for all your life? Nowadays, does lottery make you as rich as in another era? In my opinion there are advantages and disadvantages of won the lottery.

    On the one hand, nowadays you can't be rich wining the lottery, because now life style is more expensive than before. It's true that there are a lot of good prices, in spite of you for example the probability of win the jackpot is 0.00001% and you have to give to the government a porcent of this price.

    On the other hand, you can pay your mortgage or go on holiday, continuing your life style. In my opinion you have to enjoy with your friends, doing a party

    All in all, money is good to live better but it doesn't make you happy for all your lfe. And that's something that we have to take care.

  9. Lottery is a game of luck where you buy a ticket with a printed number on it and if you are lucky enough to win, you can become rich. Since the lottery was created, thousands and thousands of people around the world dream of winning this game and suddenly become millionaires. However, this happens very rarely because the chances of winning are very low, considering that a lot of people participate.

    On the one hand, the lottery is a very entertaining and exciting game. All of us have bought at least once a game ticket and dreamed of winning a prize. In addition, there are many different types of lotteries and very interesting competitions such as clothing raffles, Christmas lotteries or draws for electronic products. Moreover, in many lotteries the benefits are donated to charity, so even if you don't win the prize you are indirectly helping someone else.

    On the other hand, lotteries can have negative consequences on people. Gambling can create real addictions in people and these people have the need to gamble continuously. As a result, many of them end up running out of money because they spend it all. Besides, winning the lottery doesn't mean that your life will get better, because money doesn't bring happiness. Many people who have won the lottery claim that their life continues the same as before they became millionaires, and they even say that they have gained false friends who only approach them for their money.

    In short, lottery is a very entertaining thing that can be fun. Nevertheless, we must be careful and avoid becoming addicted to it. From my point of view, I don't like gambling and I don't usually buy lottery tickets because I think it is a waste of money.

  10. The Christmas lottery is one of the most important and popular draws, which is held in Spain every December 22. The maximum prize is called the jackpot.

    This lottery is very difficult for you to win because there are many numbers, the probability of winning is minimal, but that is not why we Spaniards stop participating. There are people who spend a lot of money and sometimes they recover something because they get a refund or a small amount and other times they lose everything, the truth is that we Spaniards live a few months of illusion when we buy Christmas cards and when the 22nd arrives We see on television the lucky ones who are crazy with happiness and those of us who have not touched anything say how important it is to be healthy or will be another year.
    Not because you win the lottery will you be happier, I know people who have been even worse, they have become more wretched.

    My family has never won the lottery, hopefully we win sometime even if it is a small amount, although I think that the biggest lottery is to enjoy health and keep the family together.
