Desiderata

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy".

Pi day (3-14-15 = 14th of march of 2015)

Con motivo de la celebración del día de Pi (14 de marzo de 2015 en EEUU se escribe 3-14-15 que es una aproximación por truncamiento a las diezmilésimas del número pi), mis alumnos realizaron una serie de tareas relacionadas con el famoso número irracional. Aquí os cuelgo algunas de ellas (las presentaciones en powerpoint han sido expuestas en clase por lo que aquí se muestran de forma esquemática):

Video  acerca de la presencia de pi en series y películas:

Presentación sobre la aparición del número Pi y el número áureo en la naturaleza: 

Presentación sobre la presencia de pi en la sociedad:

HEY are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,

And along the trampled edges of the street

I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids

Sprouting despondently at area gates.

 

The brown waves of fog toss up to me

Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,

And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts

An aimless smile that hovers in the air

And vanishes along the level of the roofs.

T.S. Elliot.

Today I found...  

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”. As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”. As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”. As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”. “As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”. As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”. As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”. As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”. As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”. We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!”

ENCUESTA BILINGÜE 2013-14

Halloween is all around. Can't you see it? Well then... prepare your camera, or your mobile phone and take lots of photos. We all want to enjoy the way in which Lora del Río is decorated for Halloween.

Who is Sally?
 Why is she so sad? 
"... this is Halloween, this is Halloween!" Does it sound familiar??

(Tell the answers to these questions to your teacher and get extra-points!!!)

World Smile Day® was created by Harvey Ball of Worcester, Massachusetts, who, in 1963, designed the original smiley face logo.

He thought that all of us should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout the world, regardless of politics, geography and religion.

So on World Smile Day®, the first Friday in October each year, people all around the planet perform acts of kindness and help others smile.

A perfect song to listen to whenever you feel sad or tired (especially* if it is raining):

  

"...But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me 

Won't defeat me

It won't be long till happiness 

Steps up to greet me..."

*By the way: Do you know the difference between especially  and specially ?

One of the most beautiful love poems ever written...        XLIII. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
