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.

TRAINING, the key to success.



Training is essential in any kind of sport to have success. We've got examples such as Rafa Nadal in tennis, Pau Gasol in basketball... and this downhill mountain biker!!! Just amazing!!!



However, you cannot only train your muscles, but also your brain: BRAIN TRAINING (listening exercise, BBC Learning English - 6 Minute English). By the way, pay attention to the definition they give to the word 'bilingualism'. 

 

Health and wellbeing:  Five ways to improve your brainpower (The Guardian)

 

To achieve this goal, you must obviously wipe out any kind of distractors such as pointless strikes, hormones or social media ("Is social media a distraction?" >>> Listening exercise from BBC Learning English - 6 Minute English).

  1. Nowadays all athletes are required to be formed first as persons before formed as elite athletes.
    For example in Fc Barcelona there the ''MASIA'' that forms the players first as persons , they training his brain and studing something for example a career etc...

    Pau Gasol was studying medicine during 2 months , but he ended up leaving because he could not combine it with basketball, although it maintains that his goal in life is to follow her mother's footsteps and become a doctor in the future.

    Rafael Nadal was studying 4º Eso during 4 months , but he ended up leaving because he couldnt't combine it with tennis , he turned professional long before Pau Gasol, with 15 years he was already enrolled in the ATP , and with 17 years it became the second best tennis player in the world.

    In my opinion, nowadays is more important for athletes to train the brain before his physical.

  3. Nowadays, many people play some sport, and we know many people who are professional athletes. We can watch them on TV or through social media. The key to success is training and training more. It is essential to be good and be ready for what we want to do.

    If we are watching a basketball match, it is very strange when the ball does not enter the basket. Even if the player is meters away from it. We can be impressed about how good they play, but it is not because of the magic. Before becoming professional, all the players have been training all the time to be good enough to be accepted in so important teams. But not only in basketball, this happens in all sports.

    The brain is an organ which has to be trained too to work well. There are many ways to do it. For instance, there are entertaining ways like playing chess. Besides, you are playing with someone and you are going to have a good time with. Moreover, studying is another way. We have to retain much information and the brain is exercised enough. Reading can help too, but nowadays with new technologies people don’t do it, and if we don’t train it, in the long run, it can affect us.

    In conclusion, I think that having our brain trained is so important to have a good and healthy life without memory problems. If you aren’t studying for a while or you aren’t students, it is important to pay attention to our brain and do something to exercise it

  4. In my opinion train our brain is super important. Since we were born, we are fragile, physical and mentally. We need the help of our parents and we are so dependent of them. I think that life is a constant process, we are developing our brain continually, since we are born until we die. For each age, life has something to teach us.

    During childhood, we should meet ourselves and create our own personality. This process is so special because it has made that we are nowadays. Also, the school works it a lot, there we meet people like us or contrary of us. We discover how we want to be and how we don’t want to be, especially when we are a teenager.

    We have to develop our brain in another aspect like intelligence, it’s so important. We need to learn about general culture, and discover ourselves. Sometimes, we don’t want to go to school, but it helps us in our lives every day. School converts us clever and organized people.
