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.

That's all I know about...



 Knowledge is very important for our students and I try to transmit them as much as I can, but this is an endless task as I know so little regarding to all the knowledge they have to learn!!!

 


   

Here's my musical hint for today:   That's All I Know About Arkansas by John Leventhal ft. Rosanne Cash, and this is a version with lyrics  for you to sing along!
