			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>s a writer, I feel like I&#8217;ve hit a roadblock, at least in terms of fiction writing. With all of the non-fiction type of work that I do, it becomes difficult to differentiate between good, informative writing and interesting, thoughtful fictional writing. Then I realized one of the best ways to reinforce what made fictional writing good was to read more.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to be a published author, it can help to seek the wisdom of already-published authors. When you read the work of those who have already gone down that path, you pick up new ways of expressing yourself. That&#8217;s not to say you should copy someone&#8217;s sentence structure or mimic another author&#8217;s style; I&#8217;m just saying that reading more can open your eyes to different ways of writing. </p>
<p>Reading fiction is especially important for those like myself who write a lot of non-fiction while still aspiring to write fiction. The differences between the two styles can make it hard to write subtly or set a mood rather than just inform. If you&#8217;ve been dedicated yourself to writing and you&#8217;re hitting writer&#8217;s block, I suggest you pick up a <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a> and begin reading. It can open your eyes to possibilities that you may not have thought of before. And hopefully, it will inspire you to write better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day the teacher asked his students,&#8221;Why is it when someone was angry, he will speak with strong voices? Why he has to yelling or shouting?&#8221;</p>
<p>No sound, silent, the room become so quite suddenly a student after thinking long enough lift his hand and replied, &#8220;Because such times he has losing patience, so he then shouted.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But &#8230;&#8221; the teacher replied, &#8220;his partner precisely on his side. Why he have to yell? Is he not able to speak smoothly? &#8221;</p>
<p>Almost all students gave a number of reasons according their consideration. but not any have satisfying answers.</p>
<p>The teacher then said, &#8220;When two people are in a anger situation, the distance between their hearts became very far away even though physical they are so close. Therefore, to reach such a distance, they have to yell. But strangely, the louder they shout, the more they become angry and the distance between their heart becomes even further. Therefore they had to shout louder more.&#8221;</p>
<p>The teacher still continues, &#8220;When you&#8217;re hit by anger, your heart should not creates distance. Moreover you should not say the words that bring the distance between you. Perhaps at such times, silence may be a sensible way. Because time will help you.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can&#8217;t think of a good idea for a <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a>? Want to create a bestseller that will impress everyone? No problem! It can be difficult to think of an intriguing idea for a <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a> that will really catch people&#8217;s attention, but it is not as hard as you think. Follow these tips and you will soon be on your way to completing and publishing an amazing bestseller book!</p>
<p><strong>How To Get A Good Storyline For A Book</strong></p>
<p>- Write what you know. The biggest mistake many people make when writing their first book is to try and write things that they have no idea about. It is okay to research a little bit and write about it, but do not complete your entire book based on research. Think about the path in which your life has taken you and implement this into your writing. A reader likes to read a convincing piece of writing, and this can be done when you write what you know.</p>
<p>- Widen your vocabulary and you will pick up ideas from certain words that may pan out into an entire story idea.</p>
<p>- Think about people that you know and the life they lead. Can you use some parts of their life as an interesting storyline for your book?</p>
<p>- Watch a movie, actually watch a few! Get some ideas from each one and mix it up, adding your own ideas along the way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deciding to take the leap and write a <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a> is a very brave thing to do. Writing a <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a> takes much time, effort, determination and perseverance. You must be willing to donate your time if you wish to create a bestseller that will get you noticed. Whether you have a wonderful idea for a book already or if you are still deciding what to base it on; you should be prepared to overcome writers block.</p>
<p><strong>What is writers block?</strong></p>
<p>Writers block is something that almost every author suffers from. It means that your mind simply goes blank and your flowing notion of words that spill into the book you are writing suddenly stop. They may take a few minutes, hours, days or even weeks to reappear! </p>
<p><strong>Hows to avoid writers block.</strong></p>
<p>It is possible to sidestep the problem of having writers block by following a few tips. These include:</p>
<p>- Keeping a notepad of descriptive words or images near you. This will boost your brain when you look at it and it will assist in keeping the ideas flowing.</p>
<p>- Write out a plan for your book before you complete it. This way, you know the direction it will take and you simply have to describe the direction.</p>
<p>- Always have a thesaurus near to keep your writing style interesting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as the popular cliche goes. I have firsthand experience to attest this claim. This long distance thing is, without a doubt, painful, but my adoration for you just continues to blossom. Our love for each other is so amazing that I, myself, could hardly believe that it is happening to me. I cannot think of anything to say to you but thank you &#8211; thank you for the way that you have enriched my life. I am thankful beyond words for the things that you do for me, and the way you make me feel. You are my everything, honey. My world revolves around you. I think about you all the time, every minute, every second. You are my life. I already consider you my better half. Above all, you are my best friend. Thank you for always listening to me. Thank you for sticking with me through ups and downs, through thick and thin. I cannot imagine my life without you. You are absolutely the love of my life, and our lives, whether together or apart, will endure the test of time. I love you with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This poem &#8220;Through Ages and Ages Eternal&#8221; written by Conrado V. Pedroche conveys that life on earth is, indeed, full of struggles. It starts from the moment a person begins to build a life through hard work together with faith in God. However, even when he thinks that he is fulfilled already, he still has to face the challenges that life has to offer. He will soon encounter the problems and trials that will hinder him from going on. But because man is naturally strong and determined, he does not mind the negative things that come along. For him, these are just obstacles which are instruments given to him to make him stronger and braver in facing the horrors of life. He still has hope despite every bad thing he experiences. He never loses hope and never surrenders because he knows that what comes next is another light &#8211; a chance for him to still persevere and to prove that he has God in him.</p>
<p>The poem also conveys that life is beautiful, yet there is a bitter part of it, when one experiences the troubles and betrayals and abandonment. Here on earth, there is a balance between good and evil, beautiful and ugly, and all other contradicting elements. Not all the time does one experience the best in life, but also he has to face the reality that life is not really full of beautiful things in the world. One still has to constantly work hard, even if at one point he fails, because there is always hope at the end of the rainbow.</p>
<p>Overall, the poem talks about life as a journey, that in life, there are stopovers, and in every stopover, one has to start moving again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This essay by Alan Loy McGinnis has helped me realize the value of friendships I have had with some of my closest friends. I may have just a few friends, but I cannot deny their worth and significance in my life. I must say that I am truly blessed to have them, because they are always there beside me when I really need them the most. I have faced many tragedies in my life but I am happy to contemplate that my friends were always there when I wanted shoulders to cry on and their ears were always ready to listen to my incessant whining.</p>
<p>Friends are really great valuables that we do not want to leave our side, nor be taken away from us. We recognize their substance when they help us in fighting off our feelings of depression, isolation and despair. In this selected reading, I learned that if a person does not have a friend at all, he is always unhappy, insensitive of the feelings of other people, thus he also becomes emotionally vulnerable, and as a result, cannot become successful in their respective relationships.</p>
<p>The author is trying to say that even though we are too busy working or studying or striving to become that &#8220;somebody,&#8221; we still have to prioritize making friendships. McGinnis said, &#8220;As I have watched those who are deeply loved, I&#8217;ve noticed they all believe that people are a basic source of happiness. Their companions are very important to them, and no matter how busy their schedule is, they&#8217;ve developed a lifestyle and a way of dispensing their time that allows them to have several profound relationships with people.&#8221; This is actually true. Some can say that money and high economic status and established names will make a person happy, but in the end, this same person will try to find happiness in the company of people with whom he can share his joy and happiness. He will soon realize that money is not enough in order for him to become totally happy. He is lacking one fundamental source of happiness, and that is, friendship.</p>
<p>Again, even in a busy world where people move around a lot, we should still make ourselves available to keep in touch with our friends. We do not have to be afraid to befriend someone by thinking that someday he or she will have to move to another place or country, hence, the word &#8220;goodbye&#8221; is enormously painful. We have to prepare ourselves for all the hurt and pain that friendships and relationships will soon bring us (if there is), because in one way or another, these same people who have hurt us along the way have become special to us somehow. If we are worried that friends will leave us one day, what are emails, snail mails and phones for? These modes of communication will be best in keeping the friendship unbroken, because keeping the friendship gives us the feeling of happiness, and security as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the twelfth chapter of his <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a>, &#8220;The Joys of Teaching,&#8221; Antonio Torralba emphasizes that teaching is an art, and it can not be subject to any scientific treatise on how to&#8217;s. He stresses that there are no dogmas in education. What is good is what works, what makes a child learn about life and love and about truth and goodness.</p>
<p>In the last chapter, the author ends his <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a> by inspiring all teachers &#8211; neophytes, seniors, the inspired, the uninspired &#8211; by emphasizing that &#8220;what the Teacher does all his life is build bridges from generation to generation, from culture to culture, ensuring that boys and girls, young men and women, each time will have a fuller understanding of and compassion for people and societies of various ages and cultures. He says that the Teacher is the mature man or woman working on the immature so that the latter can become a masterpiece of human personality that God has destined him to become. Finally, the author says that the Teacher is the Great Catalyst that helps the student to transform himself to be fully deserving of his divine origin and destiny. He ends this book by stating &#8220;Remaining a Teacher&#8230; a Great Teacher.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the tenth chapter of his <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a>, &#8220;The Joys of Teaching,&#8221; Antonio Torralba gives suggestion on how to go about teaching writing, reading and mathematics. In teaching writing, he comments that the difficulties in writing stem from matter and form. According to Paul Dumul, the Associate Director for Academic Formation of Southridge, the following are the general criteria in student writing: meaningful content, basics, details, language and organization. In teaching reading, Torralba points out that the experience is primarily of the students, under the guidance of the teacher, comprehending the meaning of the text and discussing what is essential in what was read. Skills like word appreciation and summarizing are very important. Finally, mastering Mathematics includes the general facility with the operation or process, and the ability to use the operation or process in solving word problems.</p>
<p>In the eleventh chapter, Torralba borrows a checklist of qualities needed to be a good teacher from the Institute for Development and Education (IDE). The qualities needed to be a good teacher were subdivided into three categories: knowledge, skills and attitudes. Under these categories were the core (what the teacher needs as a professional worker), professional (what the teacher needs as a professional teacher), and major (what the teacher needs as a teacher of a field of specialization). Torralba points out that the requirements are formidable but they give teachers a standard to strive for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the ninth chapter of his <a  href="http://bookadoodle.com/links/links.php?lid=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="top.window.status='DoubleDay'; return true" onmouseout="top.window.status=''; return true">book</a>, &#8220;The Joys of Teaching,&#8221; Antonio Torralba enumerates and explains the qualities of good teachers in terms of how they deal with their students:</p>
<p>* friendship, in the measure of empathy and concern, and not on leniency or kindness</p>
<p>* spirituality</p>
<p>* love and <span style="font-size: 13.3333px">compassion</span></p>
<p>* friendliness</p>
<p>* elegance, in how he carries himself</p>
<p>* equity in dealings</p>
<p>* professionalism</p>
<p>* sense of humor</p>
<p>* health smartness</p>
<p>* alertness</p>
<p>* time disposition</p>
<p>* integrative mindset and <span style="font-size: 13.3333px">probing mind</span></p>
<p>* drama flair</p>
<p>* uncompromising in principles</p>
<p>* coolness under fire</p>
<p>* patience and daring</p>
<p>* focus and purpose</p>
<p>* thoroughness</p>
<p>Torralba further indicates that school education can be divided into academic formation and personal formation. Academic formation is the education of the intellect, whereas personal formation is the education of the will. Dealing with students is as much in the realm of academic as well as personal formation. The author defines four categories where personal formation occurs: direct, which are basically intended to address the formation of students; indirect individual, which are suited and tailored to the needs and circumstances of the student; and collective, which are tailored to the needs and circumstances of the group.</p>
