The Sound of Inspiration

Pe valurile amintirilor...

Nostalgia asta...aproape ca ma face sa-mi revin intr-ale scrisului. Se face ca acum 1 an plecam din tara. Experienta de Asistent Comenius (un soi de Erasmus pentru viitori profesori) a fost punctul de cotitura, care m-a facut sa aleg o alta cariera in viata. O cariera deloc banoasa, dar plina de satisfactii personale. Fiecare zi imi aduce surprize, bune si rele. Si le iubesc chiar si pe cele rele, caci fac parte din meserie. "Asa-i entuziasmul la inceput, iti va trece" e replica pe care o aud des in jurul meu. Ei bine, eu imi doresc sa ma tina cat mai mult, si imi doresc de asemenea, pe langa asta, sa imi permit in continuare luxul de a face ceea ce-mi place. Caci gustul amar pe care il simt, este legat de constatarea ca a face ceea ce imi place, este un lux in ziua de azi.

"iubeste-ti aproapele"

intrerup perioada de cautare a inspiratiei cu acest filmulet, care eu as spera sa nu fie real...
Refuz sa cred ca o slujba la biserica nu poate fi intrerupta atunci cand un om moare in multime. Cum e aia bisericeasca cu "iubeste-ti aproapele"?

Going through changes....

...dupa cum spune cantecul. In cautarea inspiratiei de a reveni cum se cuvine pe blog, incep schimbari micute. Septembrie a fost mereu o luna cu bun augur pentru mine (o fi de vina faptul ca-s nascuta in septembrie - apropo, Mistotica, mersi de urare :) - iar eu cred in semne de-astea ciudate) asa ca sper ca pas cu pas sa-mi revin, si sa incep sa va povestesc mai multe...Caci de povesti, mi-e tolba plina!

Wish me luck, and inspiration!

Stupid Americans

I'm not even going to comment on the stupidity of the show, hosts and producers who got the brilliant idea of making a pedophile become a TV-star, even for 2 minutes.


Ex-Pedophile Shares Tips On How To Make Your Kids Less Attractive

To my students

I’ve been thinking a lot about the past months, about my experiences here, with all of you and my only regret is that I didn’t have enough time to spend with each of you, to get to know you all better. I wish I’d have the opportunity to tell you in person everything that I will write here, but in lack of time I hope a letter will do just the same. I watched you for an entire semester, I followed your work, your progress (which, in some cases, were amazing) and your continuous change as you’re trying to grow, and to find your way in life. There are a few more things that I want to tell you, besides “I will miss you very much”. Here they are:

1: Be active. Get involved in each lesson you have in school. Of course, it will not always be interesting (not all subjects are interesting, I know) but a little bit of effort makes everything easier and you’ll end up understanding more than you think you do. So, do your homework, pay attention in class, and try to be active. It doesn’t take that much, trust me!

2: Be respectful. Your colleagues, teachers, parents, people around you are generally trying to help you become a better person. That’s why show them respect, don’t be rude to them.

3: Learn to dance, sing, act or paint. Art is a universal language and it will teach you many things about life, passion, beauty but also about some of the bad things you should avoid.

4: Don’t be afraid to speak. If you want something, say it. If you don’t understand something, say it. If you like something, say it. Nobody around you is a wizard, so if you don’t express yourself, using the words, people can’t guess what you really think, or want. Speak. Be as talkative as possible. Take it from somebody who never stops talking: I pass for annoying sometimes because I talk too much, but one thing’s for certain: people know what I want or feel, it’s not a secret to them. And that saves a lot of time and energy for everybody.

5: Don’t keep secrets. Secrets make you vulnerable, telling the truth makes you stronger (telling lies is the same as having secrets, they’re never good and they’ll always bring you problems).

6: Make friends. For a short period of time, for a long period of time, for a lifetime, friends will make your life fun, and entertaining.

7: Stay away from romance-drama. You have a lifetime ahead, just for that after school finishes, sometimes it’ll feel like all your life means only drama and romance. When you’re 12, 13, 14, 15 it’s a shame to have to handle the drama, so it’s better to stay away from it. Again, after that, your entire life will be (mostly) about drama, and love and relationships. As long as you can avoid them, enjoy the fun you have now, and think more about making friends than about making boyfriends/girlfriends.

As a last word, because I’m not good with endings, good-byes and all that, I want to thank you for letting me into your classrooms and for receiving me with so much affection and curiosity. Thank you! 

Stii bancu` cu cartofii?

Asta e din aceeași categorie ca și aici. Bancul:

- Dați-mi și mie cartofi.
- Dã cât?
- Da, dãcât cartofi.
