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.

SOLIDARITY (QUARANTINE: DAY 10)

We are living days of SOLIDARITY. People helping elderly people, handicapped people, ill people... Teachers helping their students. We are all trying to help each other. But, above all, DOCTORS AND NURSES taking care of everybody in hospitals, POLICE OFFICERS taking care of all citizens, JOURNALISTS bringing latest news about the pandemia...


Thanks to everybody for their individual contributions to solve the problem!!!
