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.
The way people make others feel is essential to keep them motivated and go on working. In the case of lovers, the simple sight of your partner makes you feel different.
And what about Nadal? The way he has made us feel when he was on court was unforgettable. Do you think his match against Zverev was his last dance at Roland Garros?
And, obviously, my musical hint for today is: The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson. Come on, sing along with this version with the lyrics!
Other related songs: Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel [Official Music Video] , Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) , Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (Official Lyric Video) Which one do you like the most?
Our
dear Amy Winehouse would probably regret for certain things she did during her life. "If she had lived a healthier life, she would have lived much longer". However, she was a genius in music and here's an example, my musical hint for today: Back to black . Here's a version with the the lyrics for you to sing along.
