Obligatory chance!

I have a very dear great elderly  professor who is the principal of the school where I teach in, too. He is knowledgable, well-educated, and the most honest and humble person that I've ever known. he's the one who went out of his way to help me with my whole thesis writing process. So he's so valuable to me and i really truly adore him. It has been a while since he started giving me his books (mostly educational ones) and asked me to write a summary about whatever I read (so he can share my understandings with others). Frankly speaking, I didn't like what he was asking me to do, at first. I reluctantly read the first book he had given to me and decided to make an excuse the next time I was going to meet him and not to take any more books. Because I thought that he was kind of forcing me to read the books which were far beyond my level of knowledge. But when i met him the next time, i couldn't  make any excuse so i took another book and the next time another one and another one and......then the time arrived that i wanted to borrow and read the books from the bottom of my heart.You know, I realized that there are many things I can know about and that I can grow my knowledge. There is a huge difference between a person who reads books even though he/she doesn't have to, and a person who avoids reading books for various reasons mainly because he/she is a lazybones or busy! there is a gigantic gap between the one who cares about knowing and the one who doesn't. And fortunately, I've come to comprehend this difference. So I consider myself as a lucky person ;) and I hope I maintain to this good habit of mine for good!




This is what I'm reading for now.
