Book Review: 15 Lessons from "The Alchemist", by Paulo Coelho

Here is one of my favorite authors for all seasons. Paulo Coelho and "The Alchemist" 😍🤗



 15 lessons from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho:

1. *Follow your dreams.* Don't be afraid to follow your dreams, no matter how crazy they may seem. If you have a dream, go for it! 2. *Trust your intuition.* Your intuition is a powerful guide that can help you make good decisions. So, listen to your intuition and follow your gut. 3. *Live in the present moment.* The past is gone and the future is not yet here. The only moment we have is the present moment. So, focus on living in the present and enjoying each moment as it comes. 4. *Don't be afraid to take risks.* If you want to achieve something great, you have to take risks. So, don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and take some risks. 5. *Believe in yourself.* Have faith in your abilities and know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. 6. *Never give up on your dreams.* No matter how difficult things get, never give up on your dreams. Keep going until you achieve your goals. 7. *Be open to new experiences.* The world is a big and amazing place, so be open to new experiences. You never know where they might lead you. 8. *Learn from your mistakes.* Everyone makes mistakes. It's how we learn and grow. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes, just learn from them and move on. 9. *Be grateful for what you have.* Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can help you to appreciate the good things in your life. So, be grateful for what you have, no matter how small it may seem. 10. *Help others.* Helping others is a great way to feel good about yourself and make a difference in the world. 11. *Be true to yourself.* Don't try to be someone you're not. Be true to your own values and beliefs. 12. *Follow your heart.* Your heart knows what's best for you. So, follow your heart and you'll never go wrong. 13. *The universe conspires to help you achieve your dreams.* If you have a dream, the universe will help you achieve it. So, believe in yourself and keep going, and the universe will guide you along the way. 14. *The journey is more important than the destination.* The journey of achieving your dreams is just as important as the destination itself. So, enjoy the journey and learn from it along the way. 15. *Everything is interconnected.* Everything in the universe is interconnected. So, treat everyone with respect, because you never know how they might be connected to you. I hope these lessons help you to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. BOOK: https://amzn.to/3DuFzo1

IEP Summer Safari 2023

 This summer, I was assigned to teach combined classes of Y5-9 and the theme is Leopard for IEP Summer Safari. I almost got 30 students but some students were always absent. So, probably I had only 25-27 kids. The classroom was full and it was difficult to mobilize students when I taught them. I taught Computer, Drama/Presentation, Arts, and Cooking classes. 

For Computer subject, I taught unplugged coding and hands-on coding in the lab. The kids made chocolate chip cookies (no bake), in relation to the leopard theme because of the spots or patches during the cooking class. They created their costume mask for arts and crafts. They also practiced the script of "How the Leopard got his spots" for the drama/presentation.

We went to the Science Museum at Pathumtani to explore more about Science and Technology Coding and artifacts of people, animals, and places. Lunch and transportation were provided. There was no entrance fee collected from the students.  

Classes should be split into Y5-6 and 7-9 instead of mixing them in one class. Y4A and 4B had many students, too but they weren't combined (20 students in each class). There's only one homeroom teacher though. So, I guess shouldn't complain 😅😂😉  

Overall, it was fun and exciting for my students in Summer Class 2023.
