It might be well worth having an introductory post to greet passers-by. The reason there wasn't any was pretty simple ... but, surprisingly, turned out hard to remember.

Anyway, hi all...

It's not that I'm particularly interested in any feedback, rather trying be polite and well-behaved....

Now, with a nice feeling of having done something positive, I'll be off till better days....

So, bye

@темы: nonsense

@настроение: feeling better, just a bit

@темы: songs, nitty-gritty

@настроение: good

I am sooo happy to be back to Diary

and with soo pleasant news

The benefits of the course are too numerous to list them all. The ones that realy stand out are the peers and the tutors. No wonder there's a new life ahead with such a solid back-up))

The most amazing thing, however, is the new connection... allegedly new... what would come of it? Silly me...

@музыка: humming)))

@настроение: high.... hope not OTT

@темы: I

That's what I really abhor...


They might believe they are our only chance to survive but in fact they are more after our money than are actually willing to help. At best, you may get an insight into the national philosophy and psychology, that is if you were lucky, but, mind!, practically no language to accompany the process. Usually it all ends up with up a handful of phrases you've thankfully picked up just to be shocked to discover those are some unknown local dialect.

UPD - How very true! 'It girl' in a word

@темы: teaching, posts&comments, I, the bane of my life

Re-discovering Einstein in a way.... No that I've never met that before... Probably because of my out-of-orderness it is just feeling closer


He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Information is not knowledge.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow - perhaps it all will.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events.

Never lose a holy curiosity.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.

Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

The only source of knowledge is experience.

The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

The only real valuable thing is intuition.

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

@темы: quotes, nitty-gritty

Just out of curiosity, will there ever be time when we do not need timing at all?
Never-ending deadlines, indecent haste, working long hours and a constant race against time do no good.
Seemingly, it is wearing away any logical thinking...
Today I had difficulties in dealing with figures. It shouldn't imply that usually I am good at counting, just today I couldn't even do sums with a calculator.
It keeps nagging at me... kind of rankling with me...
Should I revise Maths?
