prada vs. prata

was examining the existing labels used to classify L&D activities (namely: formal learning, social learning, and self-directed learning) which have roots from the (out)dated 70-20-10 model.

and cooked this analogy as i was trying to explain the importance of the exercise:

“Wear Prada, not Prata.” (Tan, 2026)

very often, pple thought they are wearing Prada, because they do not have the eyes to discern (or simply bochap could be another possibility). but to those who know, they see right through the pratas, and perhaps cant help a shake of the head or two.

凡事还是要名正言顺,不要贻笑大方才好。

restful weekend

often we wish each other “have a restful weekend”, but more often than not, we teachers know at the back of our mind the many things that’s waiting for us to catch up with. so, how can one (possibly) achieve a restful state? it’s all in the mind we believe #thinkaboutit

came to us during the chit-chat this morning, and here’s the summary:

“Restful(ness) is in the state of mind”
