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.

Old dog vs Old wise owl



 

It is true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks (look up the meaning of this idiom in the previous post) unless they have been proved right, but remember all you can learn from an old wise owl if the work has been carried out properly.
 

Not all new trends, innovations, tools... have to be positive and surely you can learn from experience, which obviously come from attempts to face challenges and not just from the amount of time you have been working.

You cannot always win

 


 

You cannot always win, but I would even say that those negative experiences help you to grow and get ready for new tougher challenges. As well, you appreciate your achievements more when they come. This is not a matter that only affects sport events, but also life in general.
