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.

Hey, Jude!

 


 

Nowadays there are many football stadiums where the crowds sing this song in reference to Real Madrid's football player Jude Bellingham, but where does it come from?

It was originally a famous song sung by the Beatles.

 

   

Here's my musical hint for today : Hey Jude by The Beatles. You can have a look at the lyrics in English & Spanish to try to understand it better.
