Language Lessons For The Less Fortunate. 07/20/2010
Recently I moved to Brooklyn,NY. As the bills pile up from the once cheap place to live my wheels start turning. As i woke up one morning and went around the corner to get my daily coffee I returned to find a homeless man sitting on our bench in front of the apartment. I had recently been researching places in the area that I can take language lessons and kept coming up short. For private lessons in french it is 75 dollars an hour. For private lessons in spanish 45 dollars an hour. So thinking about this i sat next to the homeless man and proceeded to drink my coffee. He said good day i replied, but i had noticed he had an accent so i asked. "What language do you speek he told me 6, Georgian , French , Arabic , English, German and russian". This homeless man now had my attention maybe I can get lessons from him in the park right in front of my house, it would be perfect for both of us, i learn he makes money it's a win win. So I finished my coffee and returned upstairs. Still thinking if i should ask him for lessons. The next day i woke up and got my coffee, there he was again. So i asked "TJ" hey do you remember me from yesterday, in his shape you never know. Sure goodmorning gary he said, i said hey last night i went home and i was thinking maybe in exchange for some money you can teach me arabic. I had already had a notebook and pen with me . Sure he said he told me he's here everyday anyway and told his story how he is trying to get back to his farm in georgia and how he ended up on the street. So i began to learn now about culture aswel. Now im hooked i sat and spoke with TJ for 2 hours it felt like minutes, and after took me to the local deli where his friends speak arabic and he put me to work. After the lesson i asked him if he wanted a beer so i bought 2 and gave them both to him. His eyes lit up and he told me that beer will do just fine instead of money. He told me he would spend the money i gave him on it anyway ill just save him the trip. Okay so this man has a problem and im supporting it for language lessons. What can you do!?!?! So i thanked him and now when i want some lessons i go to his home under the BQE and give him a shout and we sit in the park, not to close and he proceeds to give me knowledge that is priceless. When people say they don't have the money or time to do something like learn a language, the time might be right under your nose, just hope it smells better then the one i've found. I'll keep you all updated, and get some pictures. Thank's TJ. "بعض سيضحك العديد من اتبع" A GOOD EXAMPLE OF FAILURE 06/13/2010
Okay now failure is not always a bad thing in fact I view it as a blessing, so long as I learn a valuable lesson. Obviously not all of the things i've done were a success, actually many were not. This particular one really burned my ass (seriously).... CERTIFIED 06/13/2010
People are always telling me"oh but im not certified in that i can't do that", "Or that license is hard to get", When in fact most licenses are very easy to obtain and some may be time consuming but require little work. While your sitting around not working or handing in applications why not broaden your capabilities and start obtaining these qualifications...I mean really who has more time then you? CHACHI'S WORLD 05/23/2010
I'm going to switch it up a bit. Normally my blog is well mine and i write very little about other people who are living their life like it should be, free! It's a story about a cat named chachi(jon sassone) that is blowing up the windsurfing scene with innovation and talent. Welcome to chaci's world.... Everybody's definition of realistic is like that of responsible. Not one true depiction of realistic will be the same from one person to another unless the answer is everything is realistic. This is the one i like and the one i hear the fewest, but why is that . Who started filling peoples brains with this concept of things not being realistic. GREAT FEEL GOOD VIDEO 04/14/2010

Threes un solo problema, per qualche ragione il tuo non è ancora felice e non avete il rito di essere. Se le cose non stanno andando proprio percorso o l'eccitamento è solo che non c'è più, costeggiando la strada nel giorno per giorno in attesa di un altro non sollevare thats vita. È necessario staccare completamente la tua vita e il ripristino.Questo suona spaventoso e irresponsabile, ma in realtà il contrario. Dall'altra parte della tua più grande paura potrebbe essere il tuo più grande della vita. Fai cambiare una partita e lo fa spesso provare cose che hai sempre voluto fare o vedere. Passando attraverso la vita mediocre non fa bene a nessuno voi compresi. Il mio modo di ottenere un cambiamento grande è quella di alzarsi e muoversi, avere una pensione mini da qualche parte che hai sempre voluto andare, senza motivo, ma che di eccitazione. Quando si arriva lì, non vedere ogni vista e cadere in ogni trappola per turisti, ma invece non te submerdge questa nuova cultura ed emozionante con una mente aperta e il senso di umiltà. Se non sei felice adesso, tu non sarà domani happy, il cambiamento è uno grande cosa che ogni famiglia americana ha avuto per raggiungere to per ottenere were che sono oggi. Pensi che quando Cristoforo Colombo sulla sua barca, non nervoso o paura del risultato. F non certo Im aveva paura shitless come spinse fuori dalla spiaggia per esplorare il mare aperto. Questo non gli impedì anche se lui ha la spinta a fare qualcosa di grande e uno dei nostri padri sono stati trovati di questo splendido mondo in cui viviamo oggi. Quindi, fare qualcosa di un po 'pazzo emozionante e molto più grande e la vostra vita, si manifesterà. È sempre possibile tornare a seguire il percorso di qualcuno per essere un ottimo 9-5 posti di lavoro e la maggior parte del tempo il vostro ritorno. Ma vi assicuro l'avventura si sceglie vi farà guardare la vita presente in una luce completamente nuova. MI SCUSATE se tutto non è corretto con la grammatica. Sto imparando:) A LITTLE FUN.

With a website garymisner.com you may think i take my name very seriously. I really don't, in fact i used to take my name seriously until i found out it just led to doing things i really didn't want to do. Trying to please the my name and not cause harm to it made me realize really what the !@#$ does it all mean!?!?!?.... |
