Cycle: Heroes of today

If someone asks me, who has greatly influenced my daughter, then we come to the immediate family environment, That's wonderful, supports and loves her and gives her plenty of grip, and it does not matter, whether these are the grandparents, Elfie, my brother, Lisa … All people, accompany days of childhood.

But at this point I would like to give someone a important place, because this group is often forgotten, their second teacher Helmut. Teachers, Educators, Managers, there are so many job titles, but often do not draw the image, afford what so committed people all. Spend my princess 2/3 their school activities with this teacher, ranging from football to handball. He has even motivated to participate in a triathlon – I could never do!

I remember in first grade when it came to recording the girls' football, that they would see each child exactly as aptitude and motivation, and he did, there were not all children received. My Football bride but very well, even though when I “play” saw, I asked him and really, why he took them. Since he only meant:”She plays with so much passion and commitment, because they just have to be on the team.”

I am very happy about such heroes in our everyday lives and I am also a bit afraid before, resulting in a nearest school – without the protected area – to expect so my princess. But with such’ a strong back of a fantastic teacher I have to actually worry.

#109: Forgotten how to learn

Wenn man “old” is outside and is made of certain processes, then it is hard to get back into familiar patterns into, except those, does not want to have to. So it goes with me learning, I write the next week or 3 Exams and hold a lecture and instead, I am learning, what I do of course – currently about Hume, Kant and the Copernican revolution – I sit and I noticed one thousand things, I quickly even between, before and after making, can and will make … Write emails, Write an Article, … I have forgotten the classic learning?

I admit, I've never been good at actually sit down and learn exclusively, but before the pressure was significantly greater. Now I think – Thus, I stand behind the pressure – , that is somehow. I remember my graduation preparation in early summer on the old Danube, next to my learning material I had always a booklet with, to write stories and draw sketches (with my sketches were abysmal). But maybe I need the distraction!

I'll by no means notice, whether and how well I cut, or maybe yes but, let's see, how embarrassing it is!

#108: downstream of the pressure

I have had a very interesting conversation this week. It was about, how we handle ourselves with our expectations, how much pressure we produce in us. And that often starts with small things and big issues but we measure in, Job knows, Children, Services, Life goals and so on.

And of course we know our printing and want to avoid it, get rid of or do so, as if it does not exist.

When my interlocutor told then, yes exactly that he knows his expectations of himself and what he has to fight, he also said, that he accepts it and does not try to be the pressure, but downstream of the pressure. And this picture I just liked good. Because there is, that pressure per se is not so bad, he can get us.

Thus, the, what we want to seriously try and give as our best, at this moment, just just the right.

#107: Repetitions

What if they always repeat the same pattern? It feels like it, than you would in a continuous queue.

Then either new employees or new tasks to help, denn all’ the, from what they fear will occur again, the fear, the lack of confidence, the shadows of the past, it is not that easy going.

Although of course a certain amount of time does it already. But eventually, the Well-known creeps in and infiltrated their own motivation “Now it is different.”

Changes and “-Self confront” is always extremely difficult, because you have to analyze your own weaknesses advance. And to ask, what I want and what I expect?

#106: Rugby

I am a gifted sports event-viewer. I can inspire me for almost everything and just sports, that are outside the mainstream, my heart belongs, My voice and my use. Besides Hockey, Rowing, American Football und Handball, I have now ventured a first attempt with rugby. I must say, that it was the final Bundesliga game (Danube against Stade) and I'd heard a lot about the particular game, However, the rules, Sequence and structure absolutely knew nothing and that nothing.

I quickly considered the most important rules in my internet site, Tanya, however, was so professionally prepared, that they even watched videos on Youtube, what but neither helped. But it's not so bad not to understand, when you realize, that the surrounding people also do not know. Embarrassing it is then only, when clapping and cheering while the other team has an advantage. Skillfully with lots of charm and witty commentary to circumnavigate then such moments.

This sport is wonderfully earthy. Ein Kontaktsport, but where I still had the feeling, that it is not about pure brutality, but targeted use of force with a lot of willingness to run and coordination feeling. In the 2 Half time (and I have no idea how long it takes a) one has seen except cramps no serious injuries, no Haxerlstellen (as in football).

But the best is, that this could be a sport, is for my son the RIGHT … Draufhaun and “Fight” for permission. The Rugby egg we have already (DANKE an Max), the stubble on the shoes he wants and the green dress of the Danube Union shall be his equipment …

#105: hairy problems

Blogs also do live by the self-awareness of their posters Releases, is a kind of soul-baring striptease especially the shortcomings. And from my own experiments I would like to report here, it comes to hair removal of the legs.

Having at our last Mädlsrunde us next to the ironing (do not worry, these self-tests are as good as non-existent) Waxing also, Epilation – So over the depilation of the legs – had spoken. I thought, I could but once again my cold wax, when I'm already failed once, Get out and try again.

Equal to the result anticipated, on paper for removing leg hair were not found, on the couch and the towel for sticky wax. I tried Meles advice, that the wax to be dried, implement. However, even though I have applied as thin as possible, this wax (even with spatula), this paper hung (whether now or later), the wax remained sticky, not dried with and without paper and peeling has indeed hurt, But not only the leg of the skin hair.

But experiments such as the use of Enthaarungscremen are only attacking my nasal membranes. And as an advertising junkie I have all Aloevera, Tried peach scents and exotic oils, for most 8 Minutes (longer you can not let up), itchy skin and maybe drop a few Beinhaarerln, it stinks the whole apartment (even lower level) of rotten eggs (so much for peaches).

But I do not give a longer effect than one / two days to achieve and I will now approaching Misha's suggestion of epilation.

#104: Voltage

Actually I wanted to write about something completely different and banal, but the situation with my son in the morning was very stressful, I needed until now, slowly reduce the tension in me. Strenuous situations in life there are always with children and sometimes you handled it with left and sometimes not. And today I had the feeling, that I could achieve anything, neither me to help him get out of the situation. While I can feel directly, as he builds up an internal tension in itself, I am busy my inner tension not to explode. So it's a loose-loose situation and this knowledge makes it for me at the moment only worse.

Of course it is so, that it is only a snapshot and I love my children, trying to do the best for both, tailored to their needs – alone and that's a task, just because everyone / every need anything else – , but it does not always hold, and frustrated the, makes them angry and sad and shows, I'm not perfect, Make mistakes, but learn from it. Or rather, try it.

#103: Parent representatives in kindergarten

Since this year the kindergarten my son has parent representatives, which should be the voice of the parents, the teachers and vice versa. I'm a parent representative, I was asked and unfortunately the system is not comparable to the school.

The reason why these parents' representatives was introduced, was to, that kindergartens should take no funds / donations they receive. It starts with the processing of graphene photo and ends with the children's parents-festivals, wo Buffets (However, there are additional challenges) should be organized. In between there are other issues as Kundergartenabhängig own photo CDs, Federpenale, Excursions, Acquisitions …

What we face as a parent representative, that there is no coherent and consistent information, Rights and obligations concerning the legal framework or (particular with respect to the tasting at festivals). What is the difference, that may be placed in a school at a school party cakes and pies, and the responsibility is not seemingly in the school, However, in kindergarten we face problems, that not even a purchased pie with bill and MHD may be provided, because the cold chain can not be traced?

So I'll deal with me in the summer and go to search for causes and solution implementation. Have nothing else to do ;).

#102: Good old times

I have this day held a lecture at the university with the question, earlier if everything was really better, not purely from the feeling out, but also de facto. And the example of studying. Of course you noticed changes, but I wonder, how these changes are related with my own aging.

The result is technical and infrastructural changes, we can attribute the passage of time, but is not so with personal settings, are not these also the experience, that one takes in the course of time some subject?
Or current settings are not a product of society and media, which is not exactly inundated with positive messages?

The professor has after completing my pulse Unit, which then resulted in the invitation to the students, to seize the opportunity of studying, I am spontaneous deviated from my Guide to criticize the university policy, said to the students in attendance, that these are cozies, and unfortunately there was also no real contradiction.

Today, it is definitely different from studying, better or worse, I would not say, because the students of today are no longer with the students of the same yesterday.

#101: Gut feeling

Neuroscience, Brain research – Today we want to know more than ever, how our brain works. Both the U.S. and the EU have enabled millions of dollars in research funds for brain research this year. After the DNA has been identified, the next step is to do. It is interesting, that if a woman spends money flashes of neurons in the pleasure center, however, illuminate the man there, where the toothache is, I have at least heard it in a lecture on brain research. However, just because we know, where the interests, Skills are, we do not yet understand long, why this is so, motivation which preceded, how decisions are actually like.

Namely decisions that often arise out of a gut feeling. We often speak of intuition, and this intuition speak any rationality from. Research shows, however, it clearly, that many “intuitive” Decisions are properly, thus gut decisions are entirely explained rationally. It will meet much more nerves towards the brain (up), because the brain towards belly. This means our stomach sends signals towards the brain much more, that need to process it.

Thus we should perhaps much more often listen to our gut feeling.
