There has been a theft of jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris. Could it be the return of the Pink Panther? But who is the Pink Panther?

This was not a film, but also a very famous cartoon series that children used to love.

Spain, what is Spain for you?

 

It is the name of the place where you live. You may say it is your country or just the name of a football team. Nowadays, we are in a globalised world and you've got relatives and friends working and living all around the world and problems throughout the problem might affect you, so we don't feel so much part of a country, but of the world.

You hear on the news that there are floods in New York and that is the city where your brother and his family lives. There is a severe drought in New Zealand and that is the country where a friend of yours works as a civil engineer. A heavy snow fall where your elder son is doing his Erasmus or a pandemic in Cardiff where your younger son is also doing his Erasmus. There is an avalanche in Laussane (Switzerland) and that is the spot where Benjamín Béjar Haro lives and works as a university professor and who was one of Albert's most brilliant students and whose family is from Molvízar.

Am I as bad as I used to be?

 

 

No way!! Long time ago I must admit I used to be a bit strict with my students, but now that I even have my old students' children, I'm no longer as bad as I used to be!!

I know times are changing, but it should be for the better. Although the latest students coming to our school haven't been the best, at least the promotion of students that has just started their secondary education is quite promising.

My limit is the sky

 

 

Just after winning the US Open Final, Carlos Álcaraz was asked what his limit was and he answered: "My limit is the sky". 

On the one hand, we can think he was boasting about his abilities. Actually, he sounded a bit too arrogant and immodest. On the other hand, however, we may think he showed a positive attitude regarding what he can do in the world of tennis, and that he just meant he can keep on improving.

 

Sometimes we think we have reached the summit, but in fact this can also mean the beginning of the decline, so we should always try to aim at perfection but knowing that we will never reach it. We can fly towards the Sun, but we know we'll never be able to reach the Sun because the moment you reach it you will be your complete destruction.
