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.

Some songs have an incredible story behind. I'll present you this amazing musical story. Bruce Springsteen has just produced a song called Nightshift based on another one by the Commodores, which made reference to the great Marvin Gaye ("What's going on?"). Here's a version with the lyrics for you to sing along of Nightshift!!
