  Nov 24 2011: I noticed in your profile that you work as a teacher as well, it's right your domain! I took note of the titles and authors and put them in my list of future readings. I like new points of views and ideas in this field, I think it is the basis to start from to change everything askew in the world :)

• A comment on Conversation: Which books have inspired you the most?

  Nov 19 2011: "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and "Mémoirs d'une jeune fille rangée" by Simone de Beauvoir deeply affected my girlhood and the way I conceive life and reality. Some images, words, concepts and feelings are simply part of myself.
  
  "The Razor's Edge" is a new addition of the past few years. I really agree with Maugham's depiction of anyone's search for happyness: people don't want what they say they want, but what they purposefully try to gain.

  A comment on Conversation: What's one thing you wish you had learned in school?

  Nov 2 2011: I wish they taught me not just to repeat the lessons as they wanted me to, but to think on my own accord. The faster you learn it, the better you can face every little challenge of everyday life and be fine.
