One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my military service, I have been a conscript taking part of a 52 days patrol in a nuclear submarine.
My best travel is the 3 days trek in Tiger leaping gorge (october 2005)and having a bath in the Cat Mountain river in Guangxi (august 2008)
On July 22nd 2009, i was in Hangzhou during the total solar eclipse: all was black at 8.25am!I will have to live more than 100 years to see that again!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ma citation préférée: "Un bon enseignant ne peut jamais se contenter d'une routine. Chaque instant demande un esprit sensible qui change et s'adapte constamment. Un enseignant ne doit jamais imposer à son élève de correspondre à ses schémas favoris. Un bon enseignant protège ses élèves de sa propre influence. Un enseignant n'est jamais un asséneur de vérité; il est un guide, un pointeur vers la vérité que chaque élève doit trouver par lui-même. Je t'aide juste à t'explorer toi-même" Bruce Lee

« La séduction suprême n’est pas d’exprimer ses sentiments, c’est de les faire soupçonner. »
Jules Amédée Barbey d’Aurevilly

💎"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
Xunzi

“Better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
André Gide

« La persévérance, c’est ce qui rend l’impossible possible, le possible probable et le probable réalisé » - Léon Trotsky

"Le succès n'est pas la clé du bonheur. Le bonheur est la clé du succès. Si vous aimez ce que vous faîtes, vous réussirez." A. Schweitzer

« La joie est dans le risque à faire du neuf » - Denis Diderot.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness”
