Seeds Of Realisation

Sometimes it seems like the hardest thing in the world is getting away, part of you wants to run, the other sees more sense, responsibilities and duties constantly tying one down, but isn’t that what makes us who we are? If we didnt have these would we care about anything or anyone? Wouldn’t we all just constantly be getting away?

Its funny how when the going gets tough, it just gets tougher, you go into something thinking it’ll be easy, but then it becomes far from easy, even taking the easy way out isn’t easy. Thoughts constantly bombarding, there is no getting away … How is one to get away from the own mind?

The same old thoughts come back, it is true that what is true and right is always the hardest, and that the best things in life arn’t the easiest to attain or acheive, yet it seems ever so difficult as the days go by…

Patience, Patience and more Patience, In the end that’s what it’s all about.

Lipstick In Schools

According to a news report, a certain private school in Newcastle upon Tyne was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.

That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back.

Finally the Headmistress decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the
maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little Geordie ‘Princesses’).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers…. and then there are educators.
