Photo Of The Day: 25/06/2011 "The long and not El Salto"

The long jump is an athletic discipline, which involves making a career within a limited area to do so and upon reaching the edge of a brand called off board, jump as far as possible. The jumper falls into a pit of sand, which absorbs shock and the jump is measured to first brand to any part of your body has made in the sand. I have often thought that there are times in our lives that are like a long jump. You prepare for a long period of time. Make a short run-up, which begins to take shape the outcome of the key moment, and finally the drive, flight and landing. A few seconds that decide the fate and the result of much work. It is clear that a good physical training, proper nutrition, enough sleep is essential to obtain good results during testing. Although it is also true that if the day dawns issue with headache, cold, wind blows more frequently or nerves play a trick on us, can influence the minute "m" and the second "s", become the most terrible of our lives.

All the effort away, in just a moment. At the time a student, is the same. studying the whole course, trying to pass and finally the teacher comes up with the brilliant idea of ​​branding by an oral test. There, trembling jaw, tongue skidding between letter and letter and the failed test. So I think the important achievements in life, should be assessed through continuous assessment. No more stake everything on one card. Would create more skilled professionals and self-confident, if we were able to create an educational system that appreciates the path, the route and continued effort, rather than scoring a moment. That's why I love to talk about the length of a jump and not a long jump. The important thing was, the distance traveled since the beginning of a project. Being able to consider how far we have moved the set of all the jumps and not one of them. As I say, that what counted, was the length and do not jump.
