My little life

rainbow in a montains landscape. David Gaspar Friedriech

What have I done with my little live?


When people ask me who are you? I need to think a lot, because at the same time I am a lot of things, for example, I am a teacher like I am a student, I am a writer, but at the same time I am a reader.


But we can start from my profession, I am a literature teacher, I studied in the Distrital University. I love to write and the books, I love to read tales and essays, I teach in a high school and I want my students to enjoy books. At the same time, I am a philosopher, and I make videos about philosophy, movies and books. I live with my parents in Bogota during the pandemic because I used to live in Facatativa before the quarantine.


I think that the previous answer does not resolve the question, only shows the things that I do but doesnt show how I am?



hobbies and interests or curious information



If you ask for my hobbies what can i say?


Through this time the books built my way, that information probably sounds bore, but I can't say something different or in which part you can find quotes like this:





Or experiences like this:



I



Probably there are no places where you can find different points of view about life, about feelings, about politics, psychology, etc, besides, I am agree with Borges when he says




Because In one book you can find one life, or better, one universe.


but, don't you think that in my life I only have read books, no, I love the martial arts, specially kung fu style, and I am proud of some medals that I have won through this time, but more important than the medals and the rewards is the knowledge That I found in the kung fu way. through the martial arts If I have learnt something: discipline, constancy. and other things from Tao te ching (book of the way) like




Besides books and martial arts, I write a lot, I love to write tales, and I have published some stories in a few magazines.


I remember a little sentence by Fernando Pessoa, he taugh me one importan lesson




And I try to follow this way, learning something about different kind of things.



Accoplishments / achivements


Through my life I have achieved a couple things, what things?

I graduated from the distrital University in Literature.

with big difficulties I reached to finish my master degree in Philosophy


Those achievements are important for me, with big difficulties I reached them, however If you ask me what other achievements are you proud of? I can say, well


I won a martial arts tournament, and I am proud of this,

I published little tales in a magazine.



goals and things you been doing to achieve them


Learning is a passion for me, through my little life I have felt that time is so precious, like a tyrant god, so it's important to see different things of the world, understanding it's a selfish pleasure that you will never lose with the time.

like Pessoa said, yes again Pessoa:





If the time is too short, the only important thing that we must do is use the time in our goals and dreams. For example, training all the days to reach good skills for the tournaments and championships, it probably sounds so boring but does not exist other ways to develop different skills.


This is also necessary when you reach your degree, or masters (whatever the case). Your important things require effort, sometimes big efforts, and I am not saying that your life will change or will be better, or some kind of naive things, no, I am saying that it's your way and you can choose the things for which you want to live.


Why am I learning english?


What can I say? I only have one reason. English is a way to learn other knowledge, other perspectives about reality. when you learn languages, you can understand the reality from other shore, because when you learn languages you not only learn words or sentences, you learn the ability to think.


I know certificates and similar things are important, but I prefer other way like the ancient greeks who believed in three things, the three inscriptions in Delfos oracle





I thing that english is a way to know other things and myself.
