Hello, I am an English teacher at a vocational and technical high school. My quotation is from a Turkish writer, Hasan Ali Toptaş, some of his boks were translated into German, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish and Korean.
He says  “getting spoilt is paying a visit to the spirit of our childhood”.

I totaly agree with this quotation. No matter how old we are, we may sometimes get spoilt and this is regarded as paying a visit to the spirit of our childhood which we really need to do in order to  repair soul and forget the loan of our daily lives. When we get spoilt, the spirit of our childhood reminds us that we stil have the energy to go further.

As a teacher , sometimes ı see my 18 year old students behave like a small child but I remember this quotation and try to be patient and tolarant for their visit to the spirit of the childhood.

Here is a short quotation from my favourite Romanian writer, Mircea Eliade:
"Fiecare dintre noi este un mic haos." which translates to
Every one of us is a small chaos"

I find that to be completely true not just for myself. We are a universe of our own, quite literally, so there is chaos and disorder and we try to make sense of it all and adapt, create, recreate, overcome and solve problems. But for me chaos is productive. I love my organised chaos:) I always feel that I cannot think if things are all put in their right place :))

"Lepota življenja je skrita v ljubezni do življenja. Brez nje je vsako življenje dolgočasen sprehod." (Rudi Kerševan)
(English version of the quote: The beauty of life lies in the love for life. Without love, life is just a dull stroll.)
Hi there, everyone! I'm a primary school teacher and I try to bring the beauty of the English language to my 10-15 year old students:) So, I'm on a never ending quest for inspiring ideas to try out in class and help students discover plesures in simple moments / thoughts / actions.

This  is the quote I would really recommend to follow. I am an experienced TEFL in the central Ukraine. As long as I remember myself we are in the constant process of the reforms of the educational process in Ukraine. We try to implement various models of systems into practice. The latest one which is "highly recommended' by the Ministry of Education is the Finnish schooling system I have nothing against it yet my genious countryman's words are more imppressive . I am ready for debate. Feel free for giving your comments.

“Everything is hard before it is easy”  Goethe J.W.

Hello everybody. I'm an English teacher. When we try new things and get out of old routines we may throw in the towel. Let's be brave! Let's leave the comfort zone. Success is not accident. It is hard work and determination. That's what I tell my students, that's what I tell my daughter, that's what I keep on telling myself. Here I am!

I'm Jenny, an English and German teacher in the West of Sweden, and the quote is from Emil, one of Astrid Lindgren's most famous characters. My students are 12-16 years old, and very often not too interested in school. This is one of the reasons why I chose the quote is because I often experience how mischief "just happens" in my classroom, but how it usually keep the students on their toes. They never know what I'm up, neither am I. It just happens and you don't know it until it's done :)

I am a teacher at the Catholic Primary School in Pozega. I love art, drama and literary texts. I would like to bring writing closer to my students so that their writing is more creative and interesting. I believe that every child is an individual and we should approach them as such.

The quote here is I have three children and no theory about childrearing. ;-)

"Is Rendekar telling the truth? I'm thinking, so I am. It's quite reasonable. But it's a very good conclusion, I conclude that I'm not a dream, I'm a dreamer. He is as real as I am. From now on he comes to a much more sad conclusion. I imagine that this man I think you're thinking of, dreams of me. Then someone who is real is dreaming of me. It's real, and I'm a dream." - "Rendekar doğru mu söylüyor? Düşünüyorum, öyleyse varım. Oldukça makul. Fakat bundan tam ersi bir sonuç, varolmadığım, bir düş olduğum sonucu da çıkar. Düşünen bir adamı düşünüyorum. Düşündüğümü bildiğim için, düşlediğim için, düşlediğim bu adamın da varolduğunu biliyorum. Böylece, o da benim kadar gerçek oluyor. Bundan sonrası çok daha hüzünlü bir sonuca varıyor. Düşündüğünü düşündüğüm bu adamın, beni düşlediğini düşlüyorum. Öyleyse gerçek olan biri beni düşlüyor. O gerçek, ben ise bir düş oluyorum."

Hi!
I'm Cristina Díaz, Spain. I'm teaching year 3 and I'm really interested in how to help children improving their writing.
As "Don Quijote de la Mancha" sometimes I think we are fighting against windmills when we talk about reading and writing in our classes.
I'm sure we can improve together!
Thanks for sharing ☺️

Life can be lived or written, I have never lived it if not writing it. I chose this sentence from a great Italian novelist and playwriter because it is perfect for this learning event.
I am an English teacher at secondary school. I feed myself with literature and I always try to attract my students through it. I joined this course because I did a project about creative writing last year and I think this can be a good opportunity to improve my knowledge on how to realise a good workshop for my students

Hello everyone! I am an EFL teacher at a junior high school in Greece. I love teaching and I am very interested in exploring new ways of turning the lesson into an exciting and enjoyable experience for my students. I have an endless faith and optimism for things in life but often general passivity or indifference sets us all back as a society. The quote above expresses this paradox of the human condtion in a most eloquent way! It's a wake-up call as well!!!

Seemingly an easy task...Let me give it a try assuming that Ivo Andrić, the Nobel prize winner is from my country/ region... Well, we'd better not get into this one... And then how it relates to me... yet I thought of Orhan Pamuk at first...
Well, Mr. Andrić said: "There were so many things we were afraid of. Yet, it should not have been so. We should have lived."  (Oops, sorry for the translation:)
I must admit that the few expert lines I have read so far on this LE pages re creative writing scare me a bit. Hope I am up to the task.

“We live longer
but less precisely
and in shorter sentences.”

Wisława Szymborska
I am an English teacher. In my  work I noticed difficulty in communication amongst my students who are keen on modern technology, they like social media, games and they avoid a direct contact.

I chose the quotation from our Noblist –Wisława  Szymborska’s poem. Why?
When we’re looking back, we may come to the conclusion that in the past people used to live slowlier, quieter. They spent more time with relatives, neighbours.   Life for them  meant the ability of spending time together, sharing joy, love, sorrow. At present, money, prestige and success is very important. People lead a hectic lifestyle, they communicate using chat, phones where the messages are brief;lack of real  conversation is noticeable. Some of us  are afraid of face to face contact.

Hello! I am an English language teacher of the secondary professional school students. To achieve your life goals you first need to define for yourself what you really want. Knowing what you really know gives you forces to do what you want. So this quote directly applies to me as I always first set my priorities and only then act upon them.
