"The only constant in life is change." Change is constant. Your physical body changes on a minute by minute, day by day, month by month, year by year basis. You know that you CAN exert considerable control over that, by, smoking or not smoking, exercising or not exercising, the foods you eat, and so on. Some people choose to do cetain things deliberately, to control their weight, get and stay fit, and healthy. others do not. But everybody changes physically.
Change happens in every other aspect of life too, for everybody. Marriage. Divorce. Kids. Get a job. Lose a job. Buy a home. Move. Get older. learn something new. Education. The list of changes is endless. You just cannot escape constant change. But you can make it work for you or let it work against you.
If we continue to DO the things we have always done, we can only expect to get what we have always got. whatever change happens, it will work against us. Opportunities will pass us by. Only by first changing our own actions and behavior can we create other desirable changes in our life. (To be continued, official ICS guide)

Oh nice! It’s like poetry! I don’t know how long you will be able to keep yourself unchanged when people will desire your writings, thoughts and thought provoking actions.

Foundation#1 is: Positive Directions
“Positive directions†means choosing directions that are most likely to lead us to the kind of life and lifestyle we want.
Foundation#2 is: Education
There is a direct link between education and income, education and opportunity. We cannot “beat this system.â€
“If a man empties his wallet into his head, no one can take it from him.â€
---Benjamin Franklin.
Foundation#3is: Association
It means that we either hold ourselves back or improve ourselves based on the people(support group) we spend time with the most, because their values, ideas and directions are always influencing our own.
Foundation#4is: Beginning
Any job is better than no job.
Employment is better than unemployment.
To begin is to get into the game.
There is a certain process to success, an order of steps we have to go through.
Foundation#5 is: Lifelong Learning
Many people have learned how to be taught, but have not learned to enjoy learning on their own.
In contrast, successful people are usually involved in “lifelong learning.â€

Shibli,
Inspiring and good advice for all of us!
I love the quote from 'Alice in Wonderland'; I use it myself for other purposes. As teachers we need to be researchers, we need to find out who our students are, find out how they learn and implement good learning practices. If we don't know the background of our students, their learning capabilities, capacities and where we want to take them, teaching would just be a random exercise with any method being adequate.
If we first find out the current capacities and levels of our students and their language deficiencies, we can plot how far to go in one semester (e.g. which deficiency to tackle) - only so much is possible in a semester. After students progress is assessed the plan can continue in the next semester.
Such plans would be the basis productive teaching and learning.
Your thoughts?
