How come the words?

10/08/2016

Aloha!

first attempt in quenya writing

I've not appeared here as should be normally, but you will find the reason of this delay hopefully in the short column below I've prepared.

I'm sure you're familiar enough with the Raffaello sweets advertisement. That small, coconut ball is one of the most dangerous things at my home if present. (I preempt it, avoiding purchase from the local shop, of course)

The slogan comes with the smooth statement: expresses more than thousand words! Yes! One coconut, creamy ball? Imagine!?

Same comparison is used relating to the pictures. Just remind yourself about recent news you've came through. The photograph let you create own opinion even better than the words of the article hidden above the image. (The next thing is, many of people read usually headlines alone nowadays)

When we share our emotions with the help of pervasive Wi-Fi connection it is common to find that loosing time for writing goes simply abstract, there are emoji to be sent in an easier way, right?
Have you discovered how many have already been created, for any occasion?

I am travelling by tram. I feel confused and ashamed. For my supper I'm having Japanese miso soup.

(There are more and more of them and I'm really curious when exactly we'll reach the moment of major coming back to the picture writing known in the ancient times)

So the images are growing in numbers, the information flow is continued, why then words should be worth taking care about so much? Good talk is also about the silence, we've all heard it. It comes as a difficult skill to work out, but let's remember there is still a free room for the letters welded together.

The word is assumed to become the heart of communication. I would love to add some more, however, to make words really worthwhile, we should really want to say either write them.

Also, we ought to look for and find the true sense in the words, making them the messages. Their content - the essence of the language. This fact seems banal, but in my small opinion, still keeps not enough appreciated. (That's why I believe speaking or writing coming as random throwing from the mouth either fingers is precious to change into gold silence).

How big change it can bring to someone's life if we tell them we love them.

How simple is to show our care of somebody, when we call them asking three, small words: How are you?

This is that simple to express our gratefulness to send thank you text to the person we already thanked before.

Behind this wayward keyboard, I'm pleading for taking care of words more precisely.
Let's fill them with true emotions and worth so they could stay in our memory and survive among the mass of others, blank and empty around us.

Maybe afterwards Everything will seem a bit of easier?

inspiration

The matter of perception with the Welsh accent

9/13/2016

Aloha!

The week has gone so fast, hasn't it? How was your start? I hope the everyday tempo hasn't got too crazy so far (and I deeply hope it won't throughout the working time never so).

...

I remember well the first meeting of my new class, as we approached the park centre, barely having any contacts shared. Imagine, one of my actual best friends, who got late a little bit there, haven't caught my attention at all. Now I feel I know most of her mimics and reactions, as she seemed so gray in the crowd now her uniqueness flows out around - so you never know how big surprises people become.

Next example, who actually inspired the whole post and even colour edit of the main photo is a very lovely Welsh man, Iwan Rheon. Do you know him? Like, do you recognise this probably most pathological character from the Game of Thrones series? Sweet Ramsay, yup.

There you go. Last Saturday Youtube suggested me what is the exact video I should run on (which is at the same helpful and scary, but about that situation in the another post). It was Rheon's debut album, Dinard, from 2015 I haven't come along so far. Late evening, so I didn't connect the name or an album cover to the actor (God only knows where my glasses were at the time) - I just lied down comfortably and turned the tunes. And... I... fell in love! Whoa!

It's been the perfect relax I needed at that evening, for the album is mainly constructed of the guitar background and soft leading voice (however, the Tongue Tied will blown your heart with energy!).From Saturday I've been listening to this show-business-modest piece of music and I can't stop but still relate the artist to the look he shows on the series. It's got better by now, but that's one of the most unfair things in the world of artists - the image sticked to them in your head for a long long time. Like, Frodo will always be Frodo and who would remember the real name of Daniel Radcliffe...? (don't ya worry, Daniel I do, you even did some plays, I know it as well)

And it led to the today's post reflections, the way we create perceptions about people, how unfair they may become. One point should be definitely highlighted - you want it or not, if you meet a new person your brain becomes an individual philosopher and very quickly creates the first impression of that human. Sometimes it can be true, but let's say - you don't know it yet. Are you agree with that action? Would you rather stop it?

I've observed we quite cannot do it. However, we decide what's happening next - what kind of quality of hearing we show while talking to the person, how much we do our bests to act with respect and kindness... or how much we get interested of the other actions the human takes which tell a lot about its identity and personality (I'm looking at you, you talented Iwan!)

If you start with everyone, the same normal way, which doesn't propel in the extremes you may get very nicely surprised! Yes! Isn't it fascinating experience? The discoveries? Live!?

I personally stick to the following the same way rules:

don't try to get to know the person before you really meet - opinions are very subjective source of information
stop focusing on the appearance details - I'm stressing the word details, as the style, face can tell you a lot about the human's character, but imperfectly shaped eyebrows - not really
don't ask too many personal questions, e.g. about family - if one will see in you a trustful listener, the one tells you by oneself
if you like the talk, take the action - they say everyday life shows how we really are, so go cooking together, organise a trip or something if you feel you want this person around for the nearest future (and then, maybe longer)

That's how I see it. I've been getting to know so many people in my life recently that I just had to think about it deeper way. The results of the above tips I might say are working positively - as I walk through the town, I see a lot of familiar faces who say or respond for hello - it really makes the days of everyday human being.

I encourage you to rethink this seemly banal topic again as you also meet a lot of the new people (who cares, even if you won't meet some of them the second time!), just notice the fact.

And, like during listening to the Rhodd song, which is in Welsh and I don't understand the verse, I'm saying: let's try focus on the main message, not the complicated words. I've read the very interesting article about language differences today and it seems every language creates a bit various image of the world.

Why don't we use the universal one, then? Having bigger chance to meet people - surprises, then?

Respect, help and smile. I guess we should deal with these three :)

book challenge

Reading set books can fatigue you, but

9/05/2016

Al(oh)a!

Oh, because the school has started again and actually I've not been willing enough to accept that apparent detail. The holiday daily system must be changed and the revolution, especially at the first week, isn't so pleasant.

Still, if you ask me I'm very glad. I can't complain and I won't because this griping is for me one of the most irritating and nonsense things in this world.

However, eating breakfast 1 hour, coffee timing 1 another and writing half the day to have sometimes yoga breaks says sad goodbye to me and I patiently answer. It will be exciting time as well, right? Full of good people, new discoveries and endless attempts in life organisation to achieve the satisfaction when falling asleep in the bed. Yes. Zero percent irony in these words, promise.

The irony, however, appears somewhere else. I could write quite a story about the inadequacies of the education system, but, well I'm having other topics in my mind in the literature area.

Here I would like to touch the fragment, the set books, which list everyone gets at the beginning of the new year and usually is obliged to read.

In this post, I want to truly encourage you to do it, but your own way. As, maybe you haven't noticed (as I haven't one or two years ago) these set books are mainly literature classics, they say must-reads of all the time. I know in every school and country the list is different but one connects them all - somehow they make most of the students (from my personal observations of course) much discouraged.

...?

1. Young people usually don't like to be said that they must do something.

2. There are some (speaking about my system work) tests which check the knowledge of the details, generally not significant for the whole content.

3. That results in the, let's call it analysis of the it-can-be-on-my-test things more than a reading. The order definitely should be changed over!

4. The time which is given for reading makes the students feel under the pressure. They get more nervous > they decided to quit > they look for the easier way on the Net > they don't read eventually.

Sounds familiar, huh?

I love good books, I really do and writing, especially throughout the different culture ages is simply fascinating!

If we look at these readings as the ones we've chosen to read by ourselves, just for broadening our minds, just for the pleasure, with the company of tea and warm blanket we can truly get real image of these works.

It may sound banal, but now, when I've got almost 19 set books to read this year, I believe this kind of attitude can rescue me. No one should ever tell me how (unless I ask) I'm supposed to read the words.

They're the message sent for the thousands, but the language of imaginative mind everyone of us has, is different.

Don't let yourself stuck in this ironic obligatory position which is actually in your own hands.

P.S. Shall I write more school reflections? Maybe I've learned too much today? Or I've immersed into the set books so deep that I try to create theories about idealistic reader?

Gosh, goodnight, it's been such a long and fascinating Monday.
