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.

In case you get your laptop, tablet, mobile phone... stolen or lost!!


Technology is really incredible these days. The other day I happened to learn that if you lose or get stolen your tablet, you can easily track it by using some devices you can find in the web. However, you have to be quick because if someone has stolen it from you, he can disable this function these devices have.



Some articles for you to read about the issue:
