May I have the honor?

 That question “May I have the honor?” was usually used from a man to ask a lady to dance. If he is acting that way, it means he feels the privileged to have such opportunity to dance with this lady. He will treat her well so that he may have another chance in future to dance with her again.

When I open my e-mail (probably it happens for you too) I have sometimes hundreds of junk e-mails, not all of them are junk some of them are interesting things I did subscribed, I can block, or unsubscribe them, but my e-mail provider as you can see in the picture keeps them on a separated folder, so it does not bother me so much, unless the subscription inundates my box of many e-mails every day. Actually, is the opposite, if they are sending me offers, I did subscribe for, I would love from time to time on that folder and see if I got something I would like to see or buy.

So I am going to ask you: “May I have the honor to have your e-mail ?”. I hold a small publishing business and from time to time I do a promotion on a new book I am publishing, sometimes a book of my own or books that I have help from other writers, or even joint promotions with other Authors. If you like to read it can be a good deal for the following reasons:

● You will get free books in the exchange of a simple review you may leave on amazon or any other website like GoodReads or LibraryThing

● From time to time we run a Giveaway context where the prize is books or electronic devices for readers, like the kindle device from amazon.

● Because Authors like me are eager to find new readers, we sometimes get together with other Authors to run joint promotions and you would be among the first ones to know if you are subscribed to our e-mail list.

● Education is the greatest investment someone can make in their own lives, and Books are the cheapest , and also perhaps among the best way to get educated about anything, to say nothing about you be getting books before releases, sometimes for free and from a good bargain from the Authors or Publishers themselves

● Because of the Nature of this business we would not be inundating your inbox with so much e-mail every day, after all a book takes sometimes to be written. So I am promising you would not feel annoyed with the quantity of e-mails we sent, if you do, you are more than welcome to unsubscribe (no problem here)

Educational Benefits of Solving Mazes for Kids

Mazes! What is the happiest memory that we first associate with it? It’s surely the one that takes us straight to our childhood where we would have tremendous fun getting lost in the garden in the Hedge Maze or keep colliding into glass frameworks in the maze of the House of Mirrors. Discovering our way out would mean absolute glee compelling us to jump with excitement. It’s certain, mazes are an enjoyable activity to indulge in for both adults and children alike.

Mazes are essentially the puzzles that we initially have on paper which we often see children solving from a small age. They are created and made available to children in various patterns, drawings and designs to attract them so that they get hooked onto them. We just talked about some benefits above, but we could also include: Enhance Cognitive Skills, Virtue of Patience and Build Confidence

Strengthen Visual Skills

Before they begin to solve the maze, children do plan out their moves. Whether they realise it or not but they organically scan their eyes over the maze circuit to decide how to go about with the same. That expands their visual power and the ability to scrutinize complex settings and triumphantly come out of them.

Hand Eye Coordination

While concentrating meticulously with their minds and working with their little fingers to locate the track in the mazes without touching the black lines requires children to be very careful and precise. This is only possible when excellent hand and eye coordination is implemented by the child and it definitely gets finer with practice.

Almost every one wants to write a book. But how easy that is ?

My Chinese Experience. (4 years illustrate story of my stay in China as a University teacher).

Even though I spend 4 years in china alone (May 2018 – April 2022), meaning I came by myself not knowing anyone in china, I still enjoy so much my experience here. I am still here in China as this book is being published, I end up never visiting the Great wall of china, but that did not make any difference, I had a wonderful experience….

Doing this report on my Chinese experience helped me to be grateful for such an experience in China, which was mostly teaching at the university. Please don’t think I am naive while you never see me saying bad things about China, no country is perfect and we can find bad people everywhere, but I choose to see and talk only about the good things, in fact, those things were what made my experience so memorable and indeed a very good one. The best thing I found here in China was its people, I made a lot of friends including the ones I had the privileged to teach as my students. Everyone needs the blessing of a good and true friendship because they will enrich your life and influence how you think and act, and even help determine the person you will become. My standards are high, I never drink or smoked in my life, did never had any inappropriate involvement with any students, in fact, I got inspired to do my best as a teacher, as I saw many of them working so hard to accomplish great things in life. For sure I am a better person because of what I have learned here in China, for which I will always be grateful…
If you are looking for stories or experiences that may inspire you to try your own new adventures, perhaps this is the book for you, an illustrated one (the story is basically told on a sequence of pictures, like a scrapbook if you will, as they said one picture worth a 1000 words. Teaching in a digital age was what saved the day for teaching in the middle of the Pandemic crisis (covid-19), it was a challenge but doable, face to face classes are much better but I had to teach online for a few months. Here you will find a real story of someone who came from a non-English speaking country to a country where many schools only accept English native speakers and found his spot in the sun.

We just talked about some benefits above, but we could also include: Enhance Cognitive Skills, Virtue of Patience and Build Confidence

Fine Tune Motor Skills

Mazes require the children to navigate the right path through the narrow passages without hitting their pencils or markers to the black lines which are the borders of the maze passages. They have to go slow with the strokes and not rush to complete the puzzle. So, it is their motor skills that are working to prevent them from bumping into the black lines. This controlled movement also helps them to produce readable handwriting later.

Find Effective Solutions

Children devise their own strategies to solve mazes. Whether they find their way from the start point or work backwards from the end point is up to their imagination. While at it, mazes are constructively helping them to be problem solvers since they are learning to deal with tricky situations.
