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.
Before going to the Olympic Games, or any kind of tournament, estimations are made about how many medals will be won, regardless of all the other contenders.
Then when we face the reality we see how hard it is to succeed, even for the strongest athletes or teams.
All things considered, we will appreciate more what María Pérez and Álvaro Martin achieved (do you know the sport they practise?), and the same with our men's football national team!
'Scatterbrain' is a compound word which comes from two words: the verb to scatter and the noun brain, that is to say, a person who has not got his brain in order.
The English We Speak tells about people who are disorganised or forgetful: Scatterbrain (BBC Learning English)
So remember that having a site, a blog, or a well-organised folder are things, among others, to keep you organised and to remember all the things you have to do.
