A Teacher's Capacity to Love Her Students

posted on 20 December 2011

As a teacher, I have always looked at my students as my own children. I call their attention when they do something naughty or bad and I reward them with nice words every time they do something good. I always tell them that we are a family. I encourage everyone to respect one another. I tell them to value their education because it is the only thing that no one can take away from them. It is for their own use, for their future. As a mother to all of them, I try to be as nurturing as I can be, especially to those whose family set up is not normal. Many of my students live in broken homes and not a few are wanting of a parent's love and care. By going out of my way to buy birthday presents for girls and boys alike, I think I am sending them a message of love and care. My students make me a better person. Because of them, I am able to maximize my capacity to love.

Distortion and Adjustment of Floral Photography

posted on 29 October 2011

A colleague of mine is a wedding photographer in Berkshire, and so we would often talk about photography techniques. For my final project of my undergrad degree I worked on a creative piece where I put together a book of my writing and had it published. I took some photos of flowers and plants in my yard with the camera on my mobile phone and used them as spacers for different sectional headings.I took photos of lilies, russian sage, hosta and red roses. My garden was in full bloom at the time and I decided to take advantage of it one summer day. I decided to adjust the photos and see if they would turn out any better than the common pictures they were to start with. I distorted them on the computer with a software program and changed the colors. I sent them to my friend to look and she she had two of them printed and framed and hung in her living room. They turned out much nicer than I would have imagined with the quality of camera I was using and the project turned out very nice.

Leaders who accept that they are bound to error gain the allegiance of workmates.

I do not understand why I got the employee of the year award. This has been the toughest working year of my life. I got a promotion that made me be in charge of at least twenty people. My responsibilities were so many and it reached a time I started making some pretty bad errors. One of my best friends enrolled me to a leadership training class that she was going to so that I could be able to get tips on how I was going to manage the extra work load that I was developing. So I went to the class and the one point that stood out was that leaders are not perfect and that they are prone to make mistakes. A good leader is one who accepts that he or she did a mistake and they are willing to face the consequences. That is what I did and the workmates I was in charge of marveled at that one main thing. They would help me with the work load by submitting their work on time and also doing excellent work so that correcting it would not stress me at all.

Girlfriends value anniversaries compared to their boyfriends

posted on 5 September 2011

Men never take notice of special days like women do. I should know that because my girlfriend, who is a very busy gorgeous lady, remembers all the special days in our relationship. She even started the trend of celebrating anniversaries. I remember when she suggested it the first time. I did not take it seriously because I thought that she was joking. She arranged everything and she even got me a gift and I had not even come up with any gift ideas for girlfriend anniversary. The reason why this is so is because I did not think that there was something like that. She was not happy about it and she gave me the silent treatment. It was not good at all. So that is when I decided to get her a gift. Her wrist watch had broken and she was fed up with looking at her phone for time. When I gave her the gift she lightened up and I knew that she had not forgiven me until I remembered the next anniversary which I did.

Psychologists have a unique power to transform minds

posted on 4 August 2011

Your mind is the greatest asset that you have, but you might be surprised to find out that speaking with a psychologist will make you change your way of reasoning which may be very weird if you are used to standing by your decisions. If you visit a golf psychologist, he will definitely make you love golf even if you have hated it all your life. Reason why this is so is because they have been taught how to play around with one's psychology and convert it to their own liking. I for one am a victim of the above mentioned circumstance, because I have visited a golf psychologist who made me fall in love with a game I have never thought of before even in my whole imagination. There is some truth in the fact that a psychologist can play around with your mind, and if not careful you could be fooled into doing something wrong by those mind readers who use their talent for the wrong purposes. Take caution so you do not get fooled, but with a golf psychologist, it is real and you can end up loving golf forever.
