What Is Passive Income?

Passive income is money that doesn’t take much time or effort to make and you don’t earn it from a traditional job. It can include earnings from rental properties, dividends from stocks, selling courses online, and other projects where you’re not involved in the continued generation of revenue. Although you may have had to put time, money, or effort into starting up such ventures, eventually you collect income passively, without breaking a sweat.

Tips For Job Seekers: Teacher Interview Questions and Answers

Leave a reply

Here are some teacher interview questions and answers for both new and experienced teacher applicants looking to get their dream position.

Also, we think that knowing what is required in our company will be extremely beneficial.

How can you prepare students for standardized assessments?

Standardised testing is used at practically all levels. You should be able to determine the name of the exam as well as its format. You will get additional credit if you explain it using some of the experiments you conducted with your students.
For us, standardised testing for IELTS, ILEC, BEC, and ICFE is of utmost importance.

Explain what is co-teaching?

Co-teaching is a unique approach in which two or more educators work together to provide instruction on the same subject. Students may appreciate co-teaching since it allows them to learn about a subject from several perspectives.

What would be your classroom management structure if you are hired?

What are some successful classroom management techniques?

What Is the American Dream?

What is the American Dream?
The term “American dream” refers to the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society in which upward mobility is possible for everyone.

The American dream is believed to be achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking, and hard work, rather than by chance.

Journalist and historian James Truslow Adams first used the word in his best-selling 1931 book “Epic of America.” He described it as “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.”

Adams went on to explain: “It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motorcars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”

In a future article, we will explore the American dream as reflected in literature.

Life is amazing

Leave a reply

“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” – L.R. Knost

My latest video about the Drake Passage

Leave a reply

On maps, the spindly arms of Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula reach out to grasp one another, separated only by the Drake Passage, which is named after Sir Francis Drake, a 16th-century English explorer who had also been involved in the slave trade. Some prefer to call it Mar de Hoces, in reference to the Spanish sailor Francisco de Hoces, who may have reached this part of the world 50 years before Drake. 

Sir Francis Drake (born c. 1540–43, Devonshire, England—died January 28, 1596, at sea, off Puerto Bello, Panama) was an English admiral who circumnavigated the globe (1577–80) and was the most renowned seaman of the Elizabethan Age. – Britannica

Some of the world’s strongest ocean currents flow through the Drake Passage, and huge rogue waves have caused the deaths of passengers on ships there as recently as 2022. Some voyagers have reported waves in excess of 65 feet.

What is the difference between link and hyperlink?

Leave a reply

The terms “link” and “hyperlink” are related concepts used in the context of the internet and digital technology. Here’s an explanation of the difference between the two:

Link:
A link is a reference or connection between two separate pieces of information or data. A link is typically a clickable element on a webpage that directs the user to another webpage, resource, or location within the same webpage.
Links can be textual (e.g., a word or phrase that is clickable) or graphical (e.g., an image or button that is clickable).
Links can point to various destinations, such as other web pages, images, documents, videos, or specific sections within a webpage.

Hyperlink:
The purpose of a hyperlink is to facilitate navigation between various web pages or resources on the internet.
Typically, HTML code creates hyperlinks, which are clickable elements that direct the user to the specified destination when clicked.
Although people frequently use the term “hyperlink” interchangeably with “link,” it specifically refers to links that connect web pages or online resources.
In summary, all hyperlinks are links, but not all links are hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are a subset of links that specifically refer to clickable elements on web pages that direct users to other web pages or resources on the internet.

Tips For Job Seekers: What Is Your Ambition in Life?

Tough Interview Questions: What Is Your Ambition in Life?

As an interviewer, I would ask, “Could you please share with us what your ambition in life is?” because question helps us understand if you possess a personal drive and motivation to excel in your work.

I can follow-up with: Can you explain how having personal goals can potentially drive you to produce high-quality work for the company, as opposed to relying solely on instructions from your manager for motivation? Can you please elaborate on whether you have a long-term interest in this position? How would you assess the potential impact on your success in this role if you view it as a temporary step in your career or a side job to your passion, compared to having goals that align with the position?

Topics For Our Classes: Mission Statement

1 Reply

What Is a Mission Statement?
A mission statement is used by a company to explain, in simple and concise terms, its purpose(s) for being. The statement is generally short, either a single sentence or a short paragraph.

In our recent business English classes, we delved into the idea of a mission statement, and I provided the Starbucks mission as an illustrative example.

OUR MISSION
WITH EVERY CUP,
WITH EVERY CONVERSATION,
WITH EVERY COMMUNITY–
WE NURTURE THE LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES OF HUMAN CONNECTION

For the first two decades of Starbucks history, the company only had a handful of stores, all within driving distance of one another, and the ethos of the company mostly was shared by word-of-mouth. But by 1990, the company had grown from the Pacific Northwest to Chicago and Vancouver, Canada, with plans to open new stores in California and the East Coast.

If you liked the topic check out my latest video about the new Starbucks mission statement.
