I’ve been a member of EC for almost two years and must admit that every time I sign in I anticipate to see, to read, to find there something new, unusual and exciting. And what’s more pleasant I know that this new information, somebody’s new idea will cause the process of inspiration inside me. It gives some kind of 'explosion’ in my mind, opens new horizons, new directions of thinking and understanding. It’s such an exciting process! I simply feel some kind of revival when I read or see something that inspires me, thrills me and I start thinking differently. This process attracts me a lot. I’m also happy when I see that other people are inspired by someone else and this has wonderful results and this process is endless!
For me EC is a wonderful source of inspiration while learning about different things or facts. It’s a kind of ideosphere of fascinating ideas! Ideosphere is the "place" where thoughts, theories and ideas are thought to be created, evaluated and evolved. For the first time I’ve learnt about ‘ideosphere’ from the book of the French writer Bernard Werber “Encyclopedia of Absolute and Relative Knowledge”. I immediately accepted this fact. It seemed to me I thought about it but couldn’t express it, give definition. Bernard Werber thinks that ideas are living things, which always keep circulating the earth in search of a host in order to express themselves.
Our EC ideosphere is powerful and huge as it gives the opportunity to share the ideas and use the ideas with people all over the world at the same time.
Our EC is a magic place for generating ideas thanks to its creative members. It has a brilliant collection of talented creative people. I’m simply happy to meet such people in my life. I want to give some examples, but, of course, I won’t be able to mention all creative members of our EC.
Tara's fantastic blogs about different things in our life inspire me to accept everything from different point of view and see beyond my perception. I simply feel her rich imagination and it touches me and makes me discover something new inside me! I also appreciate her efforts in helping us to master English!
Gabriel enchanted me with his fabulous English and inspired me to use a better command of English. I’ve learnt about thesaurus from him. His Study Sessions with his wonderful feedback inspires me to learn English, to teach English, especially spoken English. I was inspired to learn more about phonetics, idioms, creating short verses, creating colourful blogs and what not... He often surprises me with his unusual ideas in different spheres of life!
Tawfeeq’s poetic blogs about people’s psychology and relationships and about moral principles always inspire me to read poems and speculate and enjoy reading them. He always awakes a poet inside me!
Hala’s blogs about teaching English inspires me to find new information about methods of teaching English, about how to motivate students and so on. She’s a real gifted teacher and has an ability to inspire others!
Hani, Charos, Ha, Robbie share my belief in miracles and often inspire me to see usual things in an unusual way. They also inspire me to see poetry in nature and admire it! Sometimes it’s enough for them to use only one word and it immediately causes some associations in my mind and I start to think differently. It’s a wonderful process!
Grace, Junco, Fumi impressed me greatly with their fascinating photos. They woke up a photographer inside me. Before joining the club, I took photos mainly of people ( my relatives and friends). Now I enjoy catching different views of nature and other things of our everyday life. I always take my camera with me just in case of taking a fascinating shot.
When people love their country and tell us about it in an exciting way it teaches you a lot of new facts, attitudes and inspire you to find something unknown to you. The last was Zakir’s blog about Hunza people. I was greatly impressed reading it. It inspires me to find new information about things, mentioned in his blog.
Scarlett, Anele, Rajesh, Asma, Sakshi, Sandeep, Selma, Nafis and Mahgol your brilliant ideas often have become the sourсe of inspiration to me.
Now there’re a lot of many talented creative new members on EC: Mickey, Noaslpls, Fahime, Noorany, Nina, Shabeen, Asif, WMW, SERA, Sima, Nighthawk, Bala, Irina and many others! Sorry If I forgot to mention your name. I love all of you!
I’m very grateful to you, my EC members, for making my life so interesting and exciting!

Wow...My Dear Galina!
recently i was thinking about Sima's blog and the way she introduced Tawfeeq to others and then Noorany that how all of us Here have her in our mind ,i was thinking how great it was to introduce good people!and here comes your great,rigorous and kind tribute!you sorely pictured whats going on here! i think what makes it worthwhile to spend time in Ec is the great ideas and thoughts which can be handed by members!facts glitter and we have a holy innate always looking for Light!:)this light is what can guide us for a better life,it can be about how to learn a new language(English),or to learn about the greatness of nature,people,life,God and ... .moreover,its impossible for a person who has absorbed such rays of light to remain black!a shiny appearance comes from a shiny soul! Thanks for your kind words as you're the quintessence of kindness -as I'd said before- and thanks that you introduced good members,id be happy to know them and to learn new things from them!
Wish You ALL The Best
Wow! Tawfeeq!
What a poetic comment! Not only your blogs are poetic, I also admire your comments! This ability of yours to express everything in such unique, emotional way fascinates me a lot! I love your definition of EC –‘kingdom’. You describe it as a dream kingdom where life is beautiful, in other words something that we don’t have in our real life. You’re right that we have here people who have unique personalities. They have different qualities but all these qualities are of human nature unlike people in real life. So the inspiration come to us in different forms. I completely agree with you. These are your words. I can’t express this idea better.
“Some will teach us lessons and make us good at English . Some will inspire us by their good conducts .Some will give us positive point of view of life . Some will love us for we are having the same thoughts and interests . Some will love us unconditionally for no particular reason , making our life so extraordinarily beautiful by their soulful and divine love.’
It’s so true! Having friends that inspire us to rise to higher levels is an awesome gift! It’s common knowledge that the people we spend time with shape the path that we travel. I’m blessed to be surrounded with such good people!
Thanks for the wonderful comment!
My dear Robbie!
How happy I am to see your radiating ( with positive energy) comment here. It’s really true that inspiration comes to us in different forms. You always inspire me with your kindness and positivity. We both believe that positive attitude can create miracles! Believe it or not I’m learning this art here on EC. And you’re one of those members who inspired me to acquire this quality. You can appreciate the miracles of our everyday life, the miracles of nature. Your last blog about clouds inspired me to remember my favourite quote about the sky from the novel ’War and peace”. Without your post I wouldn’t remember about it. And this novel is simply a collection of inspirational quotes. I started to read other quotes from the novel and this activity inspired me for looking for something else….the process is endless and I enjoy it a lot! Thank you, my dear, for being such a great sourse of inspiration for me!
My dear Hala! I’m so glad to see your appreciative comment here! We always understand each other very well, just because we have so much in common. Yes, you’re absolutely right that the most important thing is that EC is the place where we can find different information which isn’t written as the ‘dry’ impersonal text, but written by creative people with huge imagination. Of course, their ideas touch our sous and feelings and we in our turn can create something amazing! Sometimes an inspirational idea can help us renew ouselves and be filled with strength to solve any problem. Inspiration come to us in different forms! So what I like most about EC is the fact that it has mostly people who want to learn English, in other words intelligent gifted people with rich imagination, emotions, creativity. That’s why I like to call this miraculous place ‘Ideosphere’. I think it’s the most suitable definition of EC. And you are one of the most precious members of it!
Thanks for the lovely comment!
WOW…. it is the best compliment that I have ever received in EC !!!
I live in a country in which life is ugly, because people are always trying to kill one another . When I get bored from this life ,I come to EC kingdom. Life is beautiful here, because I see plenty of evidence of people trying to be kind to one another . Thus ,here is my favorite country ,for me the most important matter is humanity , it is above race and nation .The pleasant moment when I come and knock the door of your page , to see you ,saying :
Hi, there!

What a wonderful blog ,dear Galina ! I admire your way of describing EC as an ideosphere of inspiring ideas .I agree with you ,too .No doubt ,that this site adds to us many new things .It gives us the chance to practice English every day in many useful ways :discussions, blogs ,groups .. etc .But the most important thing is that it's a place to share our knowledge and learn about different cultures , civilization and different points of view, and that's of course broaden our imagination and inspire us to know more about the world around us .
what makes this site special to me is meeting many great friends like you ,dear. friends can support and encourage us with their words ,comments and create the positive atmosphere to be more active and spend a nice time .

Wow! Asif! What an outstanding comment! Thanks a million for your nice compliments! I haven't done anything special, only tried to express what I feel and to thank my dear EC members for their imagination, creativity and uniqueness! Asif, I think you're a kind-hearted person with great sense of humour! And you have a wonderful family ( saw on your photo).
Thanks for the brilliant comment ( I'm smiling now remembering a nice word 'sun-kissed' which you presented to me. I was greatly impressed by it)!
With due respect, Teacher Galina, when I read your Blog, my first impression about your Blog was "outstanding Blog!" at first time I didn't notice my name but when I read your Blog second time, I noticed my name, I felt my self "Over the moon!."
Then I tried to write sthing in comment section, my impression was "Drastic times call for Drastic measure"(how difficult to write something in comment section for beginners..).
Suddenly a line sparked in my mind, as you said MyEC is ideosphere of fascinating ideas!
"Outstanding Blogs calls for Astounding Comment."
But I'm sorry, my comment is not as astounding as your Blog is Outstanding: DD
