understand your profession better. However, the lesson would be in English, so students can express them thoughts and ask questions in English. It would help us to evolve our communication in the formal way and it makes us richer by the experience. Visiting our school would be useful for you too. We could discuss about the problems in the education system and offer our solutions to improve an education. You could communicate with the younger generation who respect you and will be indescribably happy about you visiting. It would be a great honour to get you in our school. Of course it is understandable that your schedule is busy enough, so you don't have much free time but we are still hoping that you can find a piece of your busy life for us. Even if for you it is just a little part of your job, for us it would be an experience for a lifetime, so I am looking forward to your reply. I hope it will be positive. Yours faithfully, ...
The water is my sky. --Clayton Jones, president and CEO of Rockwell Collins S wimming had always scared the hell out of me. Despite national titles in other sports, I could barely keep a oat for 30 seconds. This inability to swim well was one of my greatest insecurities and embarrassments. I'd tried to learn to swim almost a dozen times, and each time, my heart jumped to 180+ beats per minute after one or two pool lengths. It was indescribably exhausting and unpleasant. No more. In the span of less than 10 days, I went from a two-length (2 × 20 yards/18.39 meters) maximum to swimming more than 40 lengths per workout in sets of two and four. From there, I moved to one kilometer in the open ocean, then onward to one to two miles. The entire progression took less than two months. This chapter will explain how I did it after everything else failed, and how you can do the same.
