Yesterday, they were victims of poverty, today they are victims of parents disharmony, violence, sexual harassment, and tomorrow who knows what else ...one by one their faces appeared in my mind, and I couldn’t do anything.I only remember their

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route.No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek... Naturally, he didn't argue wi

Loving our environment

Well, we all know the importance of clean environment. We can work effectively if we surrounded by clean atmosphere and a clean conscience.

The interview with cat.



The interview with the cat.


When I think back to the time when I met her. I think I wasn't surprised. Normally u should be surprised, when you meet a talking cat and even more, when you find out that it was human before. But I wasn't. Maybe it was because we were communicating in English that isn't our native language, for neither of us.In the interview day, when I arrived to the office of pet society. She was already waiting for me. Unlucky me, I was 10 minutes late. I hoped she won't notice, bu

Once upon a time (not too long ago) I was pretty sure my future was in teaching English. But after more than 16 years of active learning (in school and with my "private" tutor of 15 years) I switched English for science. I did some tutoring of my own for a couple of years, but then the science studies kidnapped all of my free time.Recently, thanks to the infamous recession, I've returned to tutoring a couple of neighbourhood kids and rediscovered the joys of TESL. After almost 10 years of workin

Happy Morning Happy Day!

Happiness is difficult to define and even harder to measure. We experience it as a combination of elements, in the same way that one wheel or spring inside a watch doesn't keep time - it is a result of the synchronicity of the whole. As a relative state, happiness is what psychologists call our subjective well-being and, fortunately for us, it is a state that we can actively change for the better. Here are 20 ways to start.

Everyone longs for happiness, but few possess it. The pursuit of it is un

Here in Morocco we have the custom of going once a week to the Hammam in order to clean one’s body. The Hammam in English I can call it a bath house or a public bathroom. The Hammam is composed of at least four rooms; each room is for a special purpose. The first room is a place where one should take off his clothes keeping one's underwear and pay the attendant of the Hammam; it is equipped with a number of cupboards numbered from one to thirty or forty where one puts his clothes and remembers t

Some Effective Relaxation Tips

Many people have asked me about techniques for coping more effectively with stress.

Although I send some of them for counseling or psychotherapy when symptoms are severe, most are looking for practical ways to manage stress on their own. They want to take responsibility for handling their own problems observing their inadequate methods of dealing with stress, learning new techniques to improve their habits, and then practicing these techniques on a regular basis. (or you may want more details fro
