The 5am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes XLIV
-In every life, especially the hardest ones, doorways of possibility and gateways into the miraculous swing open, revealing the reality that everything that each one of us experiences is part of some intelligent and yes often illogical plan meant to draw us nearer to our greatest powers, most wonderful circumstances and highest good.
-Education is the ultimate highway into freedom.
-No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
-Suffering can either embitter us or ennoble us.
-Leadership is for everyone.
-We all must break free from our private jails that incarcerate our glory and keep our nobility in bondage. Please, remember that gifts and talents neglected become curses and sorrows.
-Yes, no matter what struggles we face and what adversities we will endure. No matter what attacks, humiliation and violence are visited on us. We must persist. We must continue. We must stay strong. We must live our luminous nature. And magnify our sovereign selves. Even if it feels the whole world is against us. This is truly what makes us human beings. Even if it seems the light will never transcend the darkness, keep making your walk to freedom. Model what's highest for the rest of us. Exemplify grace, for the majority of us. Demonstrate actual love, for all of us.
-Refrain from allowing the shadow forces of fear, rejection, doubt and disappointment to dim the light of your most luminous self.
-To lead is to inspire others by the way that you live. To lead is to walk through the fires of your hardest times to step up into forgiveness. To lead is to remove any form of mediocrity from infiltrating the quarters of your life in a dazzling celebration of the majesty that is your birthright. To lead is to turn your terrors into triumphs and translate each of your heartbreaks into heroism.

-Keep the shortness of life at the forefront of your focus.
-Tomorrow is a promise not a fact. Enjoy every morning and appreciate each day you have on Earth. Take bold risks yet hedge them with common sense. Balance living like there is not tomorrow with behaving like you'll live forever. So that when the end does come you'll know you lived your life as a majestic testimony to the capacity for legendary that every human being carries inside of them.

Communicative approach in teaching an L2. Criticisms
Many schools are adopting a communicative approach at the time to teach an L2. Here, we are going to detail several criticisms (Swan, 1985; Bax, 2003) regarding this extended doctrine:
1. Assumes no L1 transfer. L2 learners already possess communicative skills that might be useful. These L1 communicative skills are ignored and they could be used to enhance the L2 learning process.
2. No consideration of new knowledge or usefulness. This approach does not take into consideration the learners' background knowledge nor the usefulness of the practice implemented.
3. Contextual factors affecting learners are avoided. Social, environmental, personal, academic, and motivational factors affecting L2 learners are considered.
4. Academic explanation avoided. Since essential aspects of any language are reduced to a minimum or are not taught (grammar, phonetics, spelling, etc.), L2 learners cannot comprehend the functioning of the L2 language, which fosters the creation of multiple learning gaps.
5. Egocentrism, the method is all you need. The means or method justifies the end. However, there is not any universal truth in education, no magical formula that can guarantee that with its implementation learners can become fluent in the L2.
6. Reactive learners. Learners are dependent on the teacher and external factors. They cannot build their own knowledge since the grammatical, semantic, and phonetic rules are reduced to a minimum, which prevents them from understanding the processes and functioning of the L2 language. Therefore, L2 learners under this approach cannot become independent learners. Their knowledge is always outside-in, instead of inside-out.
Therefore, an L2 teaching based upon this approach, creates confusion and inefficiency. The use of this approach alone, also fosters the development of learning gaps since learners are not provided with all the necessary tools to learn. Also, this approach builds dependent learners, not able to build their own L2 knowledge since they don't know the grammatical, phonetic, and semantic rules.

Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Chapter 8. Renunciation and Daring. Quotes.
-The situations of fear that exist in our lives provide us with stepping stones to step over our fear.
-On the other side of cowardice is bravery.
-Tenderness contains an element of sadness.
-In order to be a good warrior one has to feel this sad and tender heart. If a person doesn’t feel alone and sad, he cannot be a warrior at all.
-The warrior is sensitive to every aspect of phenomena.
-We are so accustomed to accept what is bad for us and rejecting what is good for us.
-The warrior who has accomplished true renunciation is completely naked and raw, without even skin or tissue. He has renounced putting on a new suit of armor or growing a thick skin, so his bone and morrow are exposed to the world. He has no room and no desire to manipulate situations. He is able to be, quite fearlessly, what he is. At this point, having completely renounced his own comfort and privacy, paradoxically, the warrior finds himself more alone. He is like an island, sitting alone in the middle of a lake. Occasional ferry boats and commuters go back and forth between the shore and the island, but all that activity only expresses the further loneliness, or the aloneness of the island. Although the warrior’s life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he will never be able to completely share his experience with others. The fullness of his experience is his own, and he must live with his own truth. Yes, he is more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others. By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a fuller and fuller broken heart. That is not something to feel bad about, it is a cause for rejoicing. It is entering the warrior’s world.
El corazón del guerrero. Chogyam Trungpa
“El guerrero que ha logrado la verdadera renuncia está completamente desnudo y en carne viva, sin piel ni tejido. Ha renunciado a ponerse una nueva armadura o dejarse crecer una piel gruesa, por lo que su hueso y entrañas están expuestos al mundo. No tiene espacio ni deseo de manipular situaciones. Es capaz de ser, sin temor alguno, lo que es. En este punto, habiendo renunciado por completo a su propia comodidad e intimidad, paradójicamente, el guerrero se encuentra más solo. Es como una isla, sentado solo en medio de un lago. Ocasionalmente, los transbordadores y los viajeros van y vienen entre la costa y la isla, pero toda esa actividad solo expresa la mayor soledad o la soledad de la isla. Aunque la vida del guerrero está dedicada a ayudar a los demás, se da cuenta de que nunca podrá compartir completamente su experiencia con los demás. La plenitud de su experiencia es suya, y debe vivir con su propia verdad. Sí, está cada vez más enamorado del mundo. Esa combinación de historia de amor y soledad es lo que le permite al guerrero acercarse constantemente para ayudar a los demás. Al renunciar a su mundo privado, el guerrero descubre un universo mayor y un corazón roto cada vez más pleno. Eso no es algo por lo que sentirse mal, es motivo de regocijo. Es entrar en el mundo del guerrero.”

Dealing with stressful worries and endless responsibilities that stifle your originality and steal your energy. Lusting after unimportant pursuits and hungry for the instant fulfillment of trivial desires, often driven by a technology that enslaves us instead of liberating us. Living the same week a few thousand times a calling it a life.

So the sea has gone to take me
Maybe now I'd fell it fallI tell myself I won't get astray
I believe it's going be hard
So I look across the lake
To a point far out of sight
Over me comes the rain
And I be gone
But then one night
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I ain't afraid of leaving
And all those things I left behind
Most of them ain't ment to last
None of them ain't even mine
Too tired of marking time
Giving too much away
Not a single dime is left
So I'm calling better days
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home

Rudolf Steiner in the Waldorf School
-The parents entrusting their children to this school can only hope and expect that those children will be educated to become competent in life.
-What real present day life demands of people must be reflected in the organization of this school.
-Nowadays people of insight are demanding an education that aims not at one-sided knowledge but at the ability to do things, not a merely cultivating intellectual gifts but at training the will.
-It is not possible to educate the will and the healthy soul that underlies it unless we develop insights that awaken energetic impulses in the soul and will.
-Anyone who believes that it is possible to educate the will without cultivating the insight that enlivens it is succumbing to illusion.
-Waldorf School will be a primary school that teaches its students through basting its educational goals and curriculum on insight into the nature of the total human being, an insight that must be alive in each teacher.

Freedom from the known by Krishnamurti. Quotes
- In a state of mind in which all violence has come to an end there is a joy.
- I don't want to have a breath of hate, jealousy, anxiety or fear in me. I want to live completely at peace. Which doesn't mean that I want to die. I want to live on this marvellous earth, so full, so rich, so beautiful. I want to look at the trees, flowers, rivers, meadows, women, boys and girls, and at the same time live completely at peace with myself and with the world. What can I do?
-Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear.
-When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
-So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Krishnamurity to himself. Quotes
-Where there is division, there must be conflict.
-A High School is a place for learning the art of living. This art is the greatest.
-Children should also be taught the great dignity of death.
-What you are now is what you will be in the coming days.
-What he is now, will be his future.
-Austerity is far deeper than owning a few things.
-The understanding of the nature of what you are, without any distortions, without any bias, without any reactions to what you discover you are, is the beginning of austerity.
-Meditation must happen without your volition.
-Only fools advice.
-Death is not some horrific thing, something to be avoided, something to be postponed, but rather something to be day in and day out. And out of that, comes and extraordinary sense of immensity.

Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. By Chögyam Trungpa. Quotes VII
-Tenderness and sadness, as well as gentleness, actually produce a sense of interest.
-You are so vulnerable that you cannot help being touched by your world. That is a sort of saving grace, or safety precaution, so that the warrior never goes astray and never grows a thick skin.
-Every minute of every hour is a new chapter, a new page.
-If you look back and trace back through your life, who your are, what you are, and why you are in this world, if you look through that step by step, you won't find any fundamental problems.
-Not knowing the nature of fear, of course you cannot go beyond it.
-The situations of fear that exist in our lives provide us with stepping stones to step over our fear.
-On the other side of cowardice is bravery.
-Tenderness contains an element of sadness.
-In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart.
-If a person does not feel alone and sad, he cannot be a warrior at all.
-The warrior is sensitive to every aspect of phenomena -sight, smell, sound, feelings. He appreciates everything that goes on in this world as an artist does. His experience is full and extremely vivid.
