New poetry by New Orleans based poet, D. A. Thompson

Always Think BigIt is not the job of a parent to pick their child up when they fall, it is their job to teach their child how to get up for themselves. Just as it is not a parent's job to teach their child what to think but rather how to think, how to question the daily interactions and encounters of the life they have ahead of them and how to value the morality within those interactions. This book is my attempt to encourage children towards a lifelong journey of critical thinking and sow the seeds of wider philosophical principals to the next generation of big thinkers. This book deals with the principles of self-esteem self-respect, racial and religious tolerance, success, love, friendship and many more values and virtue that a well rounded forward thinker may wish to consider.We live in a world where we often hold ourselves to other people's standards. Be it beauty, success, happiness or wealth, we tend to look outwardly for confirmation of our achievements and we forget to question why we do things that way at all. It is my hope to illuminate the possibility that perhaps we have what we need to feel successful or beautiful or happy within ourselves already and it is only our perception of those things that we need to change. Keep asking questions, Keep wondering why.And remember to always THINK BIG This book is intended to introduce children to philosophy and critical thinking as well as to encourage self-confidence and self-love. It also serves as a fun way to begin conversations between children and adults on some of life's bigger questions. I thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy the book.From the Back CoverThe brain is a magical, marvelous thing, And though it looks small there is plenty, Of room for a lifetime of wondrous thoughts, So please, don't just leave it half empty. Fill it with puzzling and pondering and pressing, And questions and quandaries and queries.Fill it with laughter and learning and love, Theological thinking and theories. Question your reasons, imagine ideas, Make knowledge your business to know.With every new sort of wondrous thought, Your brains will continue to grow. This book's not instructions on how you should live, Or a rule book of what you must do. It's just a few thoughts for you to explore, To help form your own point of view.So read it with caution, don't take it as fact. Then ask yourself, do I agree?Put it back on your shelf, then decide for yourself, What kind of you, YOU want to be. What people are saying about Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers: "How does someone fit SO much positivity in one book? Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers is a fabulously quirky meander through a broad range of topics, from celebrating difference to learning from our mistakes, casting off our worries and inspiring others with good deeds. Daniel Thompson's whimsically intelligent rhymes are an engaging blend of poetry, mindfulness and life-coaching that will provide any parent with a powerful toolkit to support their Little Thinkers in considering important issues including self worth, the importance of kindness and having control of our emotional response."Thom Craigen, Author "I think this book should be in every child's permanent collection. A book which they can read again and again, to reinforce what is really important in this life. I wish I could have read this to my children when they were little, but I think we can all learn from these lovely little poems whatever age we are.I've been trying the think which poem is my favourite, but I honestly can't choose. Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers and big thinkers alike Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated. I highly recommend "Chataboutb

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) or to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a hot career choice these days. The desire to see the world is common. Travel is one way, but people are finding it hard to take vacations these days. What if you could combine seeing the world and working? It is not easy to find jobs overseas unless you have very specialized skills and advanced foreign language fluency. For native speakers of English, TEFL/TESOL seems like a great solution. There are as many ways to teach English overseas as there are people willing to teach overseas. Indeed, your motivation for doing so should be your main influence when selecting where and how to teach. Here are just a few of the ways to teach English overseas: - Here are many chains such as English First and Wall Street that operate language centers in countries around the world- On several continents, and in Asia especially, there are also small, individual language centers, such as the hagwons in South Korea- You can teach in a public schools at pre/primary, middle and high school levels. - You can also teach at private schools. Many countries have an American school or a Canadian school, or and International School offering an IB program- You can teach at public universities. Teaching hours are very few, but class size is very high, so if you're teaching composition, for example, you'll have a lot of correcting to do- You can teach at one of the many private colleges popping up all over- some with associations with US or Australian universities- You can teach as a volunteer at a village school or in an orphanage- You can teach as a missionary or with one of the many religious service organizations that are non-proselytizing - You can teach executives as a consultant with one firm (inhouse) or with a service that has many corporate clients- You can teach with a government program such as EPIC in Korea or JET in Japan. This means you will have many peers teaching in country with you, though perhaps not in your town- You can teach with one of your own government's programs- as a Peace Corps volunteer.- You can teach with a multinational organization - as a United Nations volunteer, or with an NGO teaching refugees for example.- You can teach as a private tutor or join the growing ranks of people teaching English online There is bound to be a TESOL/TEFL job that's the right fit for you.
