Inspiration moments

hi pumpkins. Have a nice day. I'm happy because i had taken the last grade. I passed all lessons of the first year, 12 in fact. All with good grades and i'm soo proud of me.... But the reason i feel astonished is a note i got from one of my students. She's started German 4 months ago and she has made an amazing progress. Along with her wishes she added "You are my inspiration". This sentence made me want to cry out of joy. There is no better reward than hearing that the teacher is an inspiration for the students.

THANK YOU CHRISTIN!!

I wish all my students took something more than knowledge from me. Once my Physics teacher told me "it's good to know about oscillations but the best is to know about Albert Camus". Now i know what he meant.

My students are my friends, my kids. I want to become part of their life. Hearing their news, advise them. I learn from them too. From their passion, their knowledge, their joy.

Some days ago another student of mine had birthday and i went to her party. I haven't been to a kids' party for years. It was real fun.

Tomorrow i'm staying home. Autumn house cleaning, unpacking winter clother, packing summer ones.

We believe we are hurt when we don’t receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our well-being is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!

Oh Arjun, a Yogi cannot eat too much or too little.
She cannot sleep too much or too little.
She must measure everything:
eating, sleeping, working and relaxing.
Everything she does
should be just right and even.

A Yogi is never afraid.

The Yogi who's mind is concentrating on God
does not shake.
He is steady
like a candle in a room where there is no wind.
The Yogi's mind does not move away from the truth.

To become a Yogi
you have to practice being calm.
You have to practice not fidgeting
and concentrating on God.

And the Yogi who is perfectly calm
is pure and free of sin.
He is one with God
and perfectly happy.

-Bhagavad Gita

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back to life. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

-Carrie Bradshaw

" I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
