Hello! Hopefully some of you are still reading what ever I have to say, heh.
I haven’t been doing much blogging since when I first started due to 1.000 personal obstacles that had to be overcome.
CANVASI is a brand new blog, in which I try to promote new and upcoming artists through free publicity.
It is, as said, brand new, and therefore if needs a tiny tad of support ;)
So I hope you’ll see this post and spend 60 seconds exploring this link :)
Have a VERY nice day

Picture says it all. This one really resonated deeply, instantly, with me.
A few years ago, I had much success writing this blog. Well, at least in my own eyes
Back then, the thoughts came easy to me, as well as the words. As time has passed a little bit, I feel it more & more a struggle to put down on paper (or screen) what it really is that my heart wants to express.
There are maybe a thousand reasons as to why this happens to me & so many more writers also, but only one reason really touches me in a way that seems right.
Happiness is hard work! Only joy comes with ease.
I think we tend to let the current circumstances decide where our lives are going far too often. True happiness cannot be shaken out of place, even though you still have the ups & downs of everyday life. Joy disappears as soon as negativity dominates, and it comes with ease. Drinking a beer, telling a joke, laughing & chitchatting with friends all bring instant joy and a smile on our faces. But do they truly make us happy? Profound happiness? I really doubt it. Happiness comes when the mind is trained, just like physical health comes when the body is treated correctly. It comes from within, and cannot be shaken off from sources without.
I felt happy, or at least on the right way to happiness, when I wrote a lot on this blog. A new post would come out of me more than once per day, and positive as well as negative responses came right back in abundance. Writing, discussing & improving was my only concern.
It seems to me that now, I have to work really hard even to think a single philosophic thought. But it all makes perfect sense to me. If I have to build up a profound state of happiness, then it is highly necessary for me to DO IT MY SELF. There IS no magical potion. There IS no “creative work atmosphere”, deep down, there is no convenient way out! There is only what we bring from within, and this aspect of life must simply be trained by DOING – not by waiting.
I pledge to myself that I from now on WORK my way to my own happiness.
What do you think? I happily reply to any comment made!
Thank you for sticking with me. :)

Fourth year. Introduce handicrafts, engineering, mechanism and general things associated with building. Get more advanced with the abstract-specialized kids. Teach the mini-chefs about nutrition, start going in-depth with the musicians about theory. Teach the other artists about the greatest artists in history and all of that stuff. Arrange small circus-shows starring the little jugglers and acrobats.
And let the pupils studying management and leadership take part in the decisions of different events. Nothing too serious. Have more fun and be freer this year than usual. Make a lot of theme-weeks, each with focus on every single aspect of the many different subjects. Everyone participates on equal hands, but the “stars” of the week should in this year be taught to take responsibility for each other’s learning by teaching each other as much as possible.
Fifth year. Approximately nine or ten years old now. This is where it gets very untraditional.
Evaluate each individual thoroughly. Now is the time to see if some fall behind, or sprint ahead of their classmates. To save some virtual ink, it comes down to this; make mixed age groups. Put children that are, for instance physically seven and twelve years old in the same classroom, if they are of mentally the same age. I have experienced people with far too many failures and too much wasted time due to the current regime neglecting the fact that physical age SOME times has nothing to do with how people act, think, behave in general. After all, it is grownups that start wars, right? (;
A few schools are already doing this all around the world. Haven’t heard of a single negative example yet.
Sixth year. Still with the ½ – ¼ – ¼ system as stressed in post #1, now is the time to go really hard on educating and filling up the mind with good old school bench bookworm education. Make this the theme of the year, but make it fun. Be sure to spend a lot of time telling about your (the teachers and adults in general) personal lives, intrigues and excitements. Don’t be shy – sharing is caring, as they say.
When people are just about to enter the teen age, we love to be told stories about what’s on the other side. Don’t be shy to skip the scheduled subjects, if that’s what it takes to finish your story once in a while.
Thank you for sticking with me so far. This is really interesting for me to write about, so I definitely hope to hear your comments on this (:
To be continued…
