Please forgive me

MY DEAREST, LOVELIEST, AND MOST BEAUTIFUL MOM,

Please forgive me.

Did I ever tell you that I love you more than anyone in this world? I am sorry that I did not say it enough. Please forgive me for all the times I failed to tell you. I love you the most, Mom, and I truly mean it with all my heart.

Did I ever tell you how much I miss you? I am sorry that I did not. Please forgive me. I miss you more than words can ever express. Only now do I understand why there has always been a certain emptiness in my life—it is because a part of me is always missing you.

Did I ever tell you that you are the loveliest person in the world? I am sorry that I did not. Please forgive me. I spent so much of my life searching for beautiful souls, only to realise that the loveliest person had always been right there in front of me—you, Mom. There is simply no one like you.

Did I ever tell you that you are the most beautiful person I have ever known? I am sorry that I did not. Please forgive me. Now I understand that there is a difference between outward beauty and being a truly beautiful person. And to me, you are the most beautiful person in every possible way.

Did I ever tell you that you are the kindest person I have ever known? I am sorry that I did not. Please forgive me. I have met many kind people in my life, but their kindness seems ordinary when compared with yours. Your heart, your love, your sacrifices, and the way you care for others make you the kindest person I know.

My dearest, loveliest, and most beautiful Mom, I am sorry that it took me so long to tell you all these things. Now I know with all my heart that I love you the most, I miss you the most, and no one in this world could ever take your place. To me, you are the loveliest, the most beautiful, and the kindest person in the world.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
I love you more than I have ever known how to say. ❤️



With love and respect
Your son

GREAT TEACHING = GREAT SEX

                   
       

GREAT TEACHING IS LIKE GREAT SEX


Phub Dorji


Teaching is not necessarily a difficult profession, just as lovemaking is not generally considered a difficult act. Yet great teaching, much like great sex, requires thoughtful preparation, appropriate techniques and responsiveness. This comparison becomes clearer when we examine the essential components of both.

Great sex begins with careful mental, physical and environmental preparation. Having necessary items—such as lubricants, water, tissues and protective gear—readily available can contribute to a comfortable and safe experience. Creating a suitable environment also helps establish the right mood.

Foreplay is an important beginning because it allows partners to discover what brings pleasure and what causes discomfort. Strategy is equally central: both partners must apply sensitivity, skill and attentiveness to make the experience mutually enjoyable.

Time management also matters. A hurried beginning and premature ending may leave both partners dissatisfied, while an excessively slow and prolonged encounter can become tiring or monotonous. The experience should instead maintain a balanced pace and natural rhythm. Variations in tone can enhance that rhythm, while careful attention to body language helps each partner understand feelings that may not be expressed verbally.

The entire experience may be seen as a journey: a confident beginning, a harmonious progression and a satisfying conclusion. Afterwards, a period of relaxation and reflection can deepen satisfaction. Reviewing the experience helps partners recognise what worked well, understand what did not and identify opportunities for improvement.

Great teaching follows many of the same principles. An effective teacher prepares thoroughly before entering the classroom. Lesson plans are developed, teaching aids are assembled, suitable strategies are selected and meaningful activities are designed.

A welcoming learning environment is created through engaging pre-lesson warm-up activities. The lesson is then delivered at an appropriate pace, with effective activities, variations in tone and suitable body language. Finally, follow-up activities are conducted, key ideas are summarised, and the lesson is reviewed. Through reflection, teachers can recognise their strengths, address their weaknesses and continually improve their practice.

Teacher of my dream

Teacher of my dream
It takes a perfect unification of numerous qualities to become an effective teacher. A good teacher to me is embedded in the word TEACHER itself. If a person is Thoughtful, Energetic, Adaptable, Creative, Honest, Educated, and Respectful, he or she can become a great teacher. A great teacher’s teaching must be Thought-provoking, Entertaining, Artistic, Curious, Harmonious, Incredible, Natural and Generous. It is what ‘teaching’ stands for.
Teaching is not a simple task that any literate beings can take it up as a profession. The passion for teaching and the patience to prepare for teaching are two difficult facets of this noble profession. The single most important quality that every teacher should possess is a love and passion for teaching people with patience. Teachers who do not enjoy their job cannot possibly be an effective teacher despite being the intellectual genius or academic champion.
I strive to become a teacher that stands for the aforementioned descriptions. I work hard to understand the content that I teach. I never stop to learn. I prepare and learn to explain the content in a way my students understand.

The yellows on boughs

The Yellows on Boughs

She placed her prayers on blooming boughs,
Passed them softly with loving vows,
She praised their glow in golden rows,
Where sunlight sleeps on petals’ brows.

They grew in grace, in gentle hue,
Fed by hope and morning dew,
Each blossom swore the skies above
To live long lives of light and love.

No wilted dreams on careless ground,
No broken gold in grief be found,
Let beauty stay where it is grown,
And crown the branches, not the stone.

Before she weaves her farewell wreath,
Before she rests in quiet beneath,
Let flowers dance in joyful breath,
And bloom beyond the reach of death.
