THE FABULOUS LESSON FROM OUR PROF. JACK C RICHARDS "


“Live is short and full of complicated predicaments, so make it useful and do your best for anything you done”.  That is just one of the swords which stands anytime in my mind forcing this pathetic bondservant not to stop thanking for His blessed. God never let us stand alone for this traffic live by dozens obstacles leading us to the vile path. By His mercy, He crafts us as human being whom couldn't be able to dive in the world just by your own foots.

Let’s take a look; lastly feel so boring for the routine rounding the whole day. I myself am not typically the personage enjoying monotone activity in an interlude. Let say, just a month working as a teacher or mentor in a course concerning for SHS students has eliminated the sense of the teacher as the most prestigious stance ever of career (I bet you know the deep meaning of teacher, right). As if, I didn’t find my passion for the field yet I do. Even, I almost had ever decided to wave the resignation flag, but didn’t. So, I should say WAW then?

Haha…No guys, you don’t… That was full of my appetites.

This week when I was walking on the blogs, a fellow say the initial NH (her name means the light) my fellow in Iman and debating community (God willing) writing enlightened of Jack C Richards the classiest professor for the English study. Interested on him, then, never let my mind freeze, in a couple of minutes I landed safely 
like a jet plane in a house on the screen on http://www.professorjackrichards.com/.



What a marvelous recovery, yups.., his name is Jack C Richards born in New Zealand, obtained a Master of Arts degree with first class honors in English from Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1966, and his Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from Laval University (a French-Language University) in Quebec City, Canada in 1972. He has worked in many parts of the world; including New Zealand, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States (just visit his site for reading more).

For me he is refined and so cultivated. I don’t mean he is the top of the most inspired Prof. no, yet mostly the sense of the deep feelings as an English pupil who attain the knowledge directly from the Prof. Richards (ciecie) through his findings, and  writings (:P)  which has never been known who he obviously is  even never seen before. For me, it is so classy finally finding him, however just on the screen (regretless), the same feeling I thought with my partner mentioned. You guys too, aren’t? Guys never lie for yourself, particularly for those belong to English department students, I bet you may say, “oooh..Yeah I just know about him, see his pictures finally, up to now just hearing and seeing his name on my handbooks,”let say, “ Curriculum Development in Language Teaching (2001), Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching (second edition 2001, with Ted Rodgers), Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (4th edition 2010, with Richard Schmidt, and your Interchange  (IC) book”  hehe, be honest!. And no less remarkable one Prof. Richards has ever stepped his foot in De La Salle University, PHIL. Where we have been. Hehe forget it.J

Back to my appetite of teaching, after reading a piece of his biography, reminded that, life is too worthy letting it set off and have never been enough for you to reach all the mesmerize episode within this fabulous journey. It is the time for you guys to take this life on what your passion is. The time to share a chunk of your delight to others, assign your privilege to underprivileged one. Believe it or not we will find our happiness and joyfulness. Never been afraid bestowed each others. This is the submission aimed chiefly for me.

Finally realized so many things need to be accomplished, as a youth, let's wake up, guys. Be the second, the third or even the thousandth Jack C Richards who dedicated his life for education, not just like him, we have so many inspired leaders and personalities even better. Do not mention them because too many. Working as a volunteer in His path, social, education, economical, environment, stability, etc sides it is abundant.

Thanks NH for your reminder, already wake up from my moodyJ.
