What do you find amazing in life?

A new born baby, of human, animals, bird, nature extraction?

Some people are so amazing, that you can't stop thinking about them,
the same with animals, birds, sea life, nature...

I planted some parsley in-house a couple of weeks ago,
Seeing the shoots, and then growing from day to day,
and now ready for use...

That is amazing!!!!

What isn't amazing in life?

It's amazing how much time some people spend reading and writing on forums. If all the thinking power was used to solve problems concerning the human race instead! Who knows what could happen.

Take me or example:
I work a full day, at a very intellectually high level. When finished I'm so tired, and cs provides that release.
The brain power at the end of the day, needs restoring first!!!

Seeing the light go on inside a student's head was always an amazing thing for me. It was the only thing that kept me in the profession.

What is ??? The ability to learn and discover more through internet pages and "friends" made along the way. It might just be a personal opinion but as I grow and learn I also realize how shelter I am as an American citizen.

I bet it must be very rewarding, and it requires a diligent teacher, that never gives up either.

I've also done teaching, for right after school, to adults.

I see that in the near future, all teaching, will be done by a remote teacher, and the kids have a tablet, laptop, or pc, with Internet.

Diligence is a good word. Thing is your day is normally frustrating and unrewarding. However, if you keep at it sometimes the diligence turns into a teaching moment...

as Warren Zevon said," enjoy every sandwich." . That´s the amazing part, and difficult to do/live.

We think we are a one of a kind, obsessed with material stuff, trying to succeed, and we forget the small details of living. and sometimes is too late. We have to enjoy every moment, even the negative ones.

too true, unfortunately this will negatively impact social skills, as it has already begun to do so.

Same for me!
And it is still happening...
When I'm working with traumatised horses and autistic kids for example.

i felt the same way. those moments when i would see a student find their passion and their belief in themselves, and take some risks and make great art.
