Chinese Health Concerns

You know you drink too much soda when . . . the gas station cashier gives you a free bottle of water and looks disapprovingly at your drink selection. All the while telling you, “tsk tsk . . . water have more power.”  0_0

Student Humor ~ Yeah. . . No.

Student who turned in assignment 1 week + late ~ “But Teacher, I explained everything, I think you must have forgot”

Teacher ~ Um. . . . I don’t think ‘I had a personal reason’ counts when I told you in three forms of communication (written, oral, and electronic) that we needed a note and more details and you ignored them all. Trust me, if ‘personal reason’ had been enough to get me out of English papers in college, I would have used it a whole lot more!

Build Your Own Virtues

13 Nov

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

**Mother Teresa

Student Says What?!

12 Nov

Students were asked to write a drafted ethics code for an employee in the financial world.  One of my better groups actually chose the President of the Bank of China.  One of the requirements was a statement about avoiding conflicts of interest.  They wrote:

“When the president works in the bank, he is avoid working with others or sleeping.”

0_0  Oh dear.  That poor man!

Art I Love – Japan of APH

“Japan of APH” by Jiuge

I wouldn’t recommend all of this artist’s work, some of it is risque and NSFW, but she does a great job with digital art and I love some of her more decent work like this.
