But it maybe shouldn’t be. To just teach so that people pass exams misses out information that might provide a more well rounded understanding of a subject. I guess it has always been like this since…[Read more]

To take up what Pikey said…. I think he’s right that because of the way school’s performances are measured, the teachers adapt a “teach them how to pass exams” approach, rather than teaching subjects in a way that allows pupils to develop their natural abilities. I know a few youngsters who got very good grades for their GCSE and A’level…[Read more]

I’m sorry, Minim. I didn’t mean my reply to be a criticism of your ambition to study. I think that would be a fine endeavour. I was just airing my philosophical ideas about the whole thread, rather than your post.

I tend to think that when you diagnose, say, depression, you are actually labelling something in the same way you would,…

where do you suggest I look? I look around me all the time, and i am inspired and exasperated in equal meaure.

mind if it does the trick… who am i to say anything :?

I am tempted to study psychology. Have always been interested in the human psyche. Maybe it is time.

It makes extremely good sense, but it does show just how complex the human mind is, and when you take into account the ego or is it id? not sure there, but when you take that into account, then the variations on a theme seem endless. I think if someone feels worthless and has a low self esteem, that perhaps they are going round in circles and not…[Read more]

Self confidence is a part of self esteem but is different.

Self confidence is where you believe in your ability to do something, and you can be confident about your ability to do some things and not others. So you might have high confidence in your ability to do your job, but have low confidence in your ability to make small talk…

Depression can cause some people to think the world revolves around them. They are the centre of their own universe and everyone else they come into contact with are mere satellites. They therefore care too much what others think, and presume that everyone is thinking about them the whole time, which is of course inaccurate.

OK, its late and i’m a little tired…. but, surely there must still be the potential for originality. To find that special sequence of notes that make the soul soar that haven’t been found before?

It isn’t the range of notes, but the way those notes are played that makes something truly special.

Or maybe we like particular songs or pieces of…[Read more]

If Mozart had stipulated no cover versions……..

on the other hand.. we will never know exactly what his music actually sounded like…. played or conducted by him! Maybe all the millions of covers are better than the original!

there are far more dangerous folks out there driving than Georgie Porgie. And if he releases another album, I hope he also releases a video of himself in uniform!

Only I expect he’ll be walking for a bit.

What I don’t like is the baying for blood, the insensitivity of others who partied when he was dying, the media circus, and the people on these boards who enjoy venting their spleens. No matter what he has done, or what kind of person he was, the fact that people were gleeful that he died in the way he did makes me ashamed to be human.
