Get Educated

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 5:16 pm on Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Do you care what kind of world we are living in? And have you thought

there may be nothing left of this world in the next 20-30 years?

*

Are you taking action to make a difference in reducing the consumption

of oil and unnecessary consumerism ?

*

If so, thank you for thinking of our children`s future to have a planet

to live in.

*

If not, you may want to take time and consider that time is running out

so you have to do everything now to make your children`s world

one where there is fresh air for them to breathe.

*

Do you have any suggestions as to what we should do from now?

Or are you too busy and will think about that problem when its

evident that we cannot breathe the air that we have destroyed?

The Dalai Lama

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 8:01 pm on Monday, June 28, 2010

Today one of my students told me that she went to see The Dalai Lama

in Nagano on the 19th and 20th of June,this month. Junko told me

that his message to the Japanese people was to have peace in their

hearts before they can be peaceful to others.

*

He also said that Japanese people should learn English so that they can

broaden their minds and hearts to be a part of the world and the environments

that other people live in so they can start to be more communicative

and integrated; instead of segregated from what`s happening in true reality.

こんな海になっているなんて!

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 1:07 am on Monday, June 28, 2010

アメリカのBP社によるオイル漏れ事故はまだ続いています。

こんな波が押し寄せる海になってしまっているんですね。

今回は、タンカーの座礁どころのレベルじゃないです。

はやく、オイル漏れが止まる事を祈っています。

PS)

この週末は、オイルじゃなくてペンキまるけになっていました。

おかげで、ボロかった新事務所が、真っ白な空間に生まれ変わりました!

7月早々に引っ越しますので、お楽しみに!

Point of View

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 9:37 am on Thursday, June 24, 2010

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “Very good Dad!” “Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked. “Yeah!” “And what did you learn?”

*
The son answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars.
Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon.”
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!”

*
Isn’t it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life you’ve got everything! You can’t buy any of these things, but still you can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!

You can find Nao Mori`s shop near the Meitetsu Station called `Shimizu` in Nagoya. She is a teacher and makes jewellery out of glass.
Her jewelery is unusual and original. I was very impressed by her passion and dedication towards her work.

Roleplaying

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 4:04 pm on Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Image874.jpg
This is a class of 10 students that I usually teach on Wednesday mornings.
They did an excellent job roleplaying and as each group did their enactments
in English, I started to wonder if each and every one of us are living our lives according to how we wish or are we roleplaying our existence unconsciously
in order to fulfill other people`s expectations.
*
Life is short. Live consciously and roleplay your life in union to the truth
of each and every blessed moment!
*
Roleplaying in originality is a constant remembrance of knowing that you
have a soul that will take you by the hand and show you the way.

me to coffee and snacks, and jokingly said it was on her! At first I didn`t get why she was laughing until
she escorted us to this place in Nagoya.
Great concept. venue is the first of its kind in the world because the name is actually fitting to what it
promotes…Everything is free!!I admire the owners because they are trying to give back to society and
hopefully educate us environmentally and socially.

Let us be good to each other so we can be good to the rest of the world!

5oo Yen Note

Today was the first day for me to see a 500 yen note and my friend told me that when she was a child
about 20 years ago it was used everyday..

Can you tell me who the man on the note is identified as?

Self Creation

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 8:09 am on Thursday, June 10, 2010
Image106.jpg
In life we are so fortunate with the
priceless time given in the moment.
To be able to mould the desired,for
at that precise time required.
No one can take it away from you
because you are the dictator.
Be sure to be a wise creator for your
pre-destined stimulator.

Responsibility

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 5:41 pm on Wednesday, June 9, 2010

You will see that when you act in a responsible manner everything has a shiny face to it. You will see it on the faces of people walking by. You will feel it in the words of people you know or don`t. There will be an unexplainable wonder exploding from within….

But when you do something wrong and do not take responsibility for your actions there is a darkness that only YOU created because YOU didn`t take action to fix YOUR  mistakes.

More people will be involved because of your selfish goals and then when everything comes tumbling down you decide its not your fault and try to put the responsibility on someone else…

Mistakes are gifts because you have the opportunity  to learn from them, move on quickly, try your hardest not to make the same ones again and most of all be responsible for them instead of running away and trying to make it someone else`s!

Space Clearing

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 12:01 pm on Sunday, June 6, 2010

summer color splash

A friend visited me recently at our Heart to Heart office and asked me if I knew about the author of `Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui`. I replied `no`, and have since perused through the pages of this book.

I`m happy to say I live quite minimally and don`t have many possessions to weigh me down and agree with many of `Karen Kingston`s perceptions…

I think if you live with what you need and you have a lot of empty space it will be naturally filled with the right contents in order to grow materially as well as spiritually.

If you haven`t used something for a while throw it away because it will just take up space; not allowing for something new to enter and prosper!

Anyway if you are interested please visit this website of Karen Kingston

Funny Movie

WARNING:
Some of you may be disturbed if you watch this DVD !
*
I thought it was hilarious because human beings can  be ridiculous sometimes because
they create their lives in such a complicated manner. Acutually I laughed so much at the
intricacies that the characters devised in this movie that my stomach hurt from laughing
and my mascara ran from the tears of  being mystified at the nature of the sordid human mind!

Upside down World

Even in an upside down world you will be able to stand up right and find the light.
Through all the darkness and cloudy daze don`t get lost in the undeciphered haze.
Rest assured this is for your detrimental growth in order to reap the harvest of
each and every self-created disaster.
