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.

Hard to say I'm sorry



'Sorry' is a word that I quite often use in class, in life because we commit mistakes and the quicker you recognise them, the better for everybody. If you insist on not recognising, they grow bigger and bigger and your nose grows as fast as Pinocchio's!!!

 



 Pinocchio (1940) - Full movie  


So my piece of advice for you is that you should always be honest, write genuine comments and compositions, since in the end truth comes up when you don't expect it.
