Time is money - Global Learning Circles



(Time is money(

This proverb is very interesting and true.

Time is very precious but short.

Every second we can make a lot of money and many interesting and funny things.

We must appreciate the time because we may learn a lot of things in an interval of time.

Time is very important in our life but we also need money to survive in this world .

It is a good thing to make money as we can buy what we need and much more but it is a very bad thing to let your life be governed by money.

Time is money means to me that time is a value.

The Night Party

It’s the beginning of the summer holiday. Three friends, very good friends, Charlotte, Angela and Britney have finished the eighth grade and these months of vacation are the only time left to spend together, because in autumn they are going to high school.

One day, they were very bored. They didn’t know what to do. It was so beautiful outside, but very hot too. They were sitting on Angela’s bed, at her house, thinking of what to do that day.

“Hey what shall we do girls?” asked Charlotte.

“I don’t have any idea…” said Angela.

“Let’s go to the swimming pool!” proposed Britney.

“No! It’s too hot outside, Britney!”

Meanwhile Angela heard the voice of her dad from downstairs.

“Angela, we must leave tonight to Mr. and Mrs. Jones to visit their new house. Maybe we won’t come home tonight because they live 50 km away from the city.

“Yes, Angela, if you want, your friends can stay overnight here. But take care! And I left you something to eat in the fridge”, said Angela’s mother.

“So, goodbye girls!” said Angela’s parents together.

“Goodbye!

-Hmm, so we are alone tonight, right?” asked Britney.

“Yes, I think so”.

“Let’s have a pyjamas party!” proposed Charlotte.

“Wow, good idea, Charlotte”, said Britney,” but I want something more inventive….”

“Like?”

“A city party!”

“What?” said Angela.

“Yes, Angela your house is big enough and you have a garden too. Let’s invite all our friends from the school and have a big party. It’s going to be our last party together”.

“But…my parents?”

“They won’t know anything. Come on, girls! We have some work to do!”

So they prepared for the party. Britney called all their friends, Angela went shopping and Charlotte arranged the house for the party. The party started at 7 pm. They ordered pizza, and bought a lot of cola and other drinks. But some boys from the city, who were invited, brought beer, and of course everybody took a bottle. There was also ice cream and Champaign. The music was brought by a guy who was a DJ at the school parties too. So, they danced, drank a lot and ate. But the music was very loud and some of the neighbours couldn’t sleep. But the girls haven’t thought that the party would be so big and that some guys will bring alcohol, so they lost control of the party and started being afraid thinking of Angela’s parents. They haven’t even thought of consequences. The parents arrived when the party was still there.

“What’s happening here?”

“Hey this is our house! Get out of here! NOW!”

“ANGELA!!!”

The girls had to clean everything after Angela’s father had everybody out. Britney and Charlotte had to stay to help. So, the next week of summer they had to clean the house everyday as a punishment for what they’d done.

Friendship…

At the beginning, Lisa and Katie were best friends. They did everything together. They did the shopping together, slept at each other’s houses, stayed late after midnight and talked, went out every time they could, talked on the phone for hours and lots of other things.

[pic] [pic]

But one day Lisa met a girl, called Anna, and they became close friends, so she decided to introduce Anna to Katie. Now, all the three were a wonderful group. After a while Lisa forgot about Katie and spent the entire time with Anna.

[pic]

The time passed and Lisa began to have problems. First, at school because she was not paying attention to the teachers and was distracted. After that she started arguing with her parents because of her marks and her behaviour. As if it wasn’t enough she broke up with her boyfriend and she was very upset. She felt as if her life was broken to pieces. At that moment, what she needed the most was her friend Anna, but she wasn’t there beacause she didn’t really care. As soon as she found out, Katie went to support her. At that moment Lisa realised who her true friend was and apologized. Katie forgave her and became even closer than before.

EXAGGERATIONS

Don’t exaggerate small things. Don’t make a big deal out of something minor.

A molehill is small and a mountain is huge by comparison. It means that you try to make a big deal of something that is not a big deal.

For example if you get hurt easily, you don’t solve anything if you cry. You have to stay calm because nothing is as serious as it looks.

If you are a witness to an accident do not tell to others exaggerated things.

Don’t make everything more dramatic than it really is.

Don’t do it in order to attract attention!

TWO HARES

[pic]

In life we must choose the way that we want to take. We can not simply run on multiple paths.

The novel "Ion," written by Liviu Rebreanu, is a very good example. Ion wanted to have both the land and the love, but in the end he lost them both, because of his vanity and selfishness.

It is better to fight to fulfill a task to the end, and only then begin another new task.

If we try to accomplish several tasks at the same time, we will fail in doing them.

To sum up, my advice for you all is to fight for only one goal at a time.

Home Sweet Home

I like to live in Cluj at home

Not in London, Paris or Rome

It’s the best place for me

Like a hive for a bee.

I can play so many games

I can even change my name in “James”

I can do almost everything here

I have all the songs I’ll like to hear.

I have all the things I need

I have all the books I’d like to read

I can say anything I’d like to say

And I do everything in my own way.

Home sweet home

Better than Paris or Rome

And now, I want to say

That I’ll never go away.

LAUGHTER

Mihai: Hello, Paul! How are you today?

Costel: Hi, Andrei. I’m fine thank you. What about you?

M: I’m not so good. I got a 3 in Physics today. I don’t know what happened, I’d studied.

C: Ha, ha, ha looks like you didn’t study enough.

A few days later the boys meet again but the situation has changed!!!

M: Hi Paul! What’s the news?

C: Hi, not good. I got a 1 in Maths yesterday and my parents punished me.

M: Sorry!!! Looks like you didn’t study enough for the test.

C: Please, excuse me. It was wrong to laugh at your small grade.

The morals, at the end!
