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.

  2. Rafa Nadal was born on June 3, 1986. He is a very important tennis player from Spain. He started when he was 5 years old in malaga. At age 10 he started playing out of malaga. He lives in malaga since 1998. He is a very good tennis player for me because I like his playing style. He is my favorite .

  3. Issur Danielovitch Demsky is the real name of Kirk Douglas.He received an honorary Oscar in 1996 and he is the father of the actor Michael Douglas .
    He is my grandfather´s favourite actor. My grandfather told me that his most famous movie was Spartacus and that he always saw it during Semana Santa.
    He died on February 5, 2020 and the other day I read a notice that said he had left all his money to charity. I think it´s a nice action. Good for him.
