La fede in Dio e il suo amore per noi uomini – una riflessione personale di un cinquantenne.

(This post is in English and Italian)

I have believed in God since I can remember, the faith was given to me by my parents, they “gave” me to my church, they made sure I was baptized as a child (I am Catholic, just like my parents). I remember attending Holy Masses (with my parents), I remember my parents’ daily prayers (on their knees). My parents taught me the faith and for that I am grateful to God and them.

Credo in Dio da quando ho memoria, la fede mi è stata trasmessa dai miei genitori, che mi hanno “regalato” alla mia chiesa e si sono assicurati che fossi battezzato da bambino (sono cattolico, proprio come i miei genitori). Ricordo di aver partecipato alla Santa Messa (con i miei genitori),

“You possess the power to change any area of your life for the better.” (A. Robbins)

"(…) you have the power to change any area of your life for the better. So where is this power? And how can you use it? We all know that to achieve new results, you need to take new action. But we need to understand that at the heart of every action is a decision. The power of decision is therefore the power of change." (A. Robbins)

Failure is part of life, let’s not be afraid of it, things don’t always work out the first time.

Things don't work out right away, sometimes we have to be persistent, sometimes it takes effort and hard work to make plans and dreams come true. This applies, for example, to learning a foreign language: anyone who has prepared for the C2 exam knows how much effort and time is required.

Discovering your mission can be one of the most important events in your life, whether you do the mission during your work or leisure time, or in micro-retirement (which the aforementioned author, T. Ferriss, writes about). What is a mission? For me, it is something that gives a deeper meaning to life, it is a kind of vocation, something that makes us happy because we give the best of ourselves to other people.

Teenagers and the quality of Polish educational system.

"When a teenager enrolls in a drama club class, for example, he steps outside his comfort zone, takes risks, limits his control, and begins the process, often without knowing the outcome. Additionally, he starts to build social relationships with other kids, learns attentiveness, co-responsibility, closeness. That when he is part of a team, what happens between people becomes most important, not his individual goals.

“Education should be represented by experts.” (Zdzisław Hofman)

"Vzdělávání by měli zastupovat odborníci." (This post is written in English and Czech) In "Psychologia nastolatka" ("Adolescent Psychology") (no. 4/2022, page 77, the magazine is in Polish) we can read the following passage: "(…) education should be represented by experts who understand the psychological mechanisms and neurobiological processes of young people. Of course this knowledge … Continue reading “Education should be represented by experts.” (Zdzisław Hofman) →

“One of the guidelines for speakers at TED conferences is to avoid ‘following the beaten track’.” (Carmine Gallo)”

The quote in the title of this post comes from page 101 of Carmine Gallo's book "The Storyteller's Secret" (I have my copy in Polish). One can think how to use the knowledge about storytelling (contained e.g. in the above-mentioned book) in the activities of authors, bloggers, but also all who want to educate the audience in some way.
