Boys don't cry.

Do you think that boy should or shouldn't cry.

 

In my personal opinion, I think  boys can cry when they feel like crying. Of course, I would say that boys should not cry in public. They rather do it in private, buy yes, us as boys can cry.

 

Sometimes, we cry because we feel blue and we can show our feelings. Sometimes, people feel happines or are nostalgic so it would be good to cry. Some people cry because they are heart-broken. 

 

I like to cry once in a while, because when I cry I feel relief and

This article from Russia Today highlights the lies and hypocrisy of NATO and the West very well.

 

The war criminal trio Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron originally attacked and bombed Libya with the "humanitarian" mission of "protecting civilians". Now that their mission is all but accomplished, the truth is there for all to see. Now that the boot is on the other foot, so to speak, there is no talk of protecting civilians from the NTC. On the contrary, NATO is doing all it can to assist the anti-Gadd

Teaching: Between theory and practice

We "teachers" read and studied alot of books and articles about teaching strategies,but ..Can we apply all those theories in the class??What do you think?

For me, I can say that theories can help but if we know how to apply them correctly and add our own experience and personality.

Teaching is not only about motivating students to learn ,but about helping them how to learn and get the essence of the information.If the teachers have the passion and the the love to their career ,so I think they can

Should I be afraid?

Every day I ask my self the same question.

 

I wish I weren't an afraid person but I am. I am afraid about the weather, about my life, about my work, about my relationship, about my family; I have so many things that make me feel scare. 

 

I would like to take a breath and let thing happen, but I cannot.

 

Every single day, I wake up and pray to God and I ask for wisdom and tranquility; however, I don't feel so self-assure of my self. I don't know why I feel this way but I have that feeling.

Cause I Was Born For You


Losing you is a tragedy

Living this life without you is a calamity

Because you are too precious and valuable for me

And exceedingly worth of living in this world

I’ll be always standing next to you

Even though the world shows its hostility to you

 

If there are many obstacles hindering your path

I’ll be your sword to crush and wipe them out

If there are many assaults upon you

I’ll be your shield and armour to make sure you unscathed

If there are many foes surrounding you

I’ll always be your fortress to prot

Well, I remember that on September 11th, 2001 I was at school. I was 13 years old and I had heard some teachers talking about something strange. I didn't know what had happened, so some friends and I asked our teacher and she said that planes were attacking the World Trade Center in the USA. In fact, I didn't realize what it was, but I knew something serious was happening. Then, when I arrived home I saw the images on TV and got kind of scared. I felt really bad seeing all those people suffering
