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.

Santa is coming home!!


 

Long, long ago I was actually at (one of) Santa Claus' homes on the road from Rovianemi to Kemijarvi in Finland (Suomi), but many other places in the world claim to be the home of this famous Christmas character.


Who was the real Santa Claus? We sort the facts from the fiction  (ABC News)

Anyway, Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men are just figures that represent kindness, generosity... all positive things, which this time of the year is all about. Well, and also food, loads of food, perhaps too much food!!!
