Naaaaaants ingonyamaaaaaaaaa bagiiithi baba

One of the most epic moments of childhood.. :)

...but worth to be watched again and again 
and remembered!
**
From the day we arrive on the planet 
And blinking, step into the sun 
There's more to be seen

 Than can ever be seen 
More to do than can ever be done.
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place

On the path unwinding.

Follow the silent pull of what you love


"If any ounce of you wants to do science, it's your duty to do it." 
Don't let others tell you anything diferent. Everything is possible! Follow the silent pull of what you truly love and you can't go wrong!

Carpe diem!

Sometimes good things fall apart, so you could build better things for tomorrow. 
Life must go on - it's our choice if we drag along looking down in the dust, or keep our heads up high and enjoy the ride. In the end, that's what it is - just a ride. We live and we die and everybody has been given a certain amount of days, of experiences, in between. Don't fear a life that's changing! Fear a life unlived. Most people lead safe lives, set lives; most people don't take chances; most people merely exist, that is all. Go out there and do something extraordinary! Live! Take a chance! Feel! Trust in life! Enjoy the ride - it's here for you and it won't last forever! You are stronger than you think and the world is more amazing than you can possibly imagine.. but not taking the first step, you'll never find out. 
The saddest thing in this world is a life unlived - a "what if" in the end of it.
So smile, and don't wish away your days for better ones to come. 
Life is happening NOW!

Take your time

Sometimes you'll feel,
like a silly squirrel on the wheel, 
like you don't have the strength 
to do everything...


Don't worry -
you don't have to!

Take your time 
to look around,
it's not too late 
to live.
Open your eyes, 
realize, 
and you'll see -
you'll find joy
from just being 
alive..!

I love the mellow version of Lenna singing this song.. 
sometimes you just have to take time out.

Turning point

I found 
that every single successful person I've ever spoken to 
had a turning point
 and the turning point was where they made
 a clear, specific, unequivocal decision 
that they were not going to live like this anymore. 
Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50 
and most never make it at all.

-Brian Tracy

Move past the metaphore

"Get ready to think! You're gonna use your brains!!"

Essentially education is about communication and coperation, not competition. It is about creating independent minds, not producing products following the factory model. We need to inspire our kids to think for themselves, not spoonfeed them ready-made exercises with ready-made answers. Transmitting information must be done in a way that is productive and meaningful and encouraging. Our teachers, first, need to get the confidence to be the inspiration, not just the transmitter.  Teaching is about caring and making the kid understand. It's more important to get the kids really learning something, not just "getting the work done". 
Kids nowadays don't see school as an opportunity, but rather an obligation. And when they finally step out from the system as ready-made graduates, they find themselves completely lost... And that's sad.

Essentially everyone's target is to have life that's fulfilling, to truly become a better  person and contribute to the society the best way they can. To make it a better place. For everyone.
To live and be happy.

"If you wanna change the world, change the metaphore." (Joseph Campbell)
It's time to move past the factory-metaphore!
What's your metaphore for eduacation?
