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.

  1. All people associate intelligence with the qualifications of each one, when it really has nothing to do with it, in fact I think that the people who are more intelligent are the lowest.

    People do not distinguish being smart with whom you study a lot, it is true that if you are smart and do not study to take advantage of it, you will not be very smart, but if it is true that there are people who without studying know a lot. There are people who do not spend even half the time studying a subject and get twice the grade than those who have spent a week studying.

    I sincerely believe that a person who is not so intelligent but is very hardworking will always have a better future than the one who is clever but it is difficult for him to do things. Maybe being intelligent is not as important as they paint it, and it is much more useful that you are a worker and strive to do things. On the one hand, lazy people that know a lot are not going to get anywhere since it is ridiculous that you know a lot if later you are not going to put it into practice, on the other hand, people who know little but know how to use that little well, they will get where they want.

    I associate intelligent people with people who know but are also hard-working, other people are not intelligent, they are simply people who know many things.

  2. Nowadays being an intelligent person is associated with having good grades, but in some cases this is not the case. There are people who do not get good grades but who have managed to earn a living and have come to have a better life than other people who got good grades.

    Many people think that with good grades they are already very intelligent, I don't think that's the case because those people who get very good grades don't know how to do anything other than memorize and put it on the exam. From my point of view I think that people with the worst grades are not less intelligent people.

    There are other people who try a lot but do not get very good grades, in my case I am a person who makes an effort and it is difficult for me to study, and I usually get normal grades, I have to spend many hours studying each person has a facility for something and I know that studying is difficult for me but I will work until I achieve it.

    Finally, a person is no less intelligent if he gets good grades, since there are very intelligent people who do not like to study. I believe that a person who works a lot can have a better life than a person who works very little.

  3. Another new variant of the variant of the coronavirus has just arrived a few days ago, according to the healt workers, it is very easy variant to spread but it is not very dangerous, according to what they report, it is a simple cold, although even so you have to be careful because there are people who are not having it like a simple cold.

    Hopefully this situation will soon end and we can all return not normacly.

  4. The intelligence is a hability of the brain that allows you to learn,understand,make decisions... But the intelligence it's not only that there are many other types of intelligence(musical intelligence,naturalist intelligence,emotional intelligence). For example : the emotional intelligence is the capacity of a person that allows him to recognize his emotions and the emotions of other people.

  6. Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, because all my family comes, we get together, we have dinner... My favorite day is the 31st because New Year's Eve is celebrated and I have a great time with my family.

    On the other hand, I want Christmas to arrive so I can have vacations and spend free time with my friends, playing football... and also to open presents.
    When I was little and I used to watch American Christmas movies I loved them, and Santa Claus is supposed to come from there. I also love January 6th because it is Three Kings Day and my family and I buy a roscon to eat.
    I'm looking forward to Christmas.

  7. Christmas is a very beautiful date of the year, people get together with relatives, in the houses they put Christmas pines that are decorated with garlands and lights
    and both santa claus and the wise men leave their gifts to children who behave well.
    The streets are illuminated, there are Christmas markets and they are days of happiness and illusion.
    Special dinners are made and although the economy is not good, people try to make their dinners the best possible, they are typical meals:
    turkey, seafood, polvolvorones, nougat and after dinner Christmas carols are sung.

  8. In my opinion the Christmas is the most important fest of the year. In Christmas the towns and villages have a lot of Christmas lights and Christmas decorations in the streets and inside the houses. Inside of the houses there is a Christmas tree with decorating and small lights. In Christmas the people give presents to others people and buy in the comercial centre. In the Christmas the people celebrates the born of Christ.

  9. The Christmas Carol book clearly shows the great defects of the man reflected in the character Ebenezer Scrooge, his selfishness, insensitivity, frivolity, lack of kindness, little empathy... He dedicates himself to work and earn money. Why have so much money if don't we have a little love?
    At the same time, as a conclusion, this book tells us that everything can change, when you stop to think and reflect on how your life has been and is, or how it can become, and you realize the values that are really important in life. .
    In this book, the author claims Christmas because it is a period to share among people or relatives, and not to be alone as the character who is an antisocial person and it is clear that humanity needs the other, and that love and kindness for at least it is in the human being once a year, which I think it should always be.
