Lake and Mountain View

"Success is like climbing a mountain, 

you have to work as a team, 

face obstacles and bad weather, 

but no matter what, 

we always reach the top."

Martin Paquette

"The higher the mountain, 

the deeper the valley"

Alsatian proverb

"Between the shores of the oceans 

and the summit of the highest mountain

is a secret road that you must travel

before you become one with the sons 

of the Earth."

Khalil Gibran

"When you have walked for two hours 

on a mountain, you are smarter."

Coline Serreau

The will allows to climb on the summits;

 without will, one remains at the foot 

of the mountain."

Chinese Proverb

"Culture is the source of all creativity.

That of geography and the history of

mountaineering makes us look at the

Alpine arc as an evidence, a beauty, 

a line to follow. A line, not the line! 

Like a line in a face."

Patrick Bérhault

• "Every lake belongs to the quietness

Back To School Prep: Study Hacks

Some helpful tips and tools to improve students' academic performance:

1. Manage your time effectively: Study for 25 minutes, followed by a 5-minute break to boost productivity and focus.

This technique makes even the most challenging topics manageable, putting you in control of your academic performance.

3. Take practical notes: Use colors, abbreviations, and summaries to capture essential points and excel in exams. Sticky notes or flashcards can also help make your study techniques simpler and more organized.

4. Enhance your learning experience with digital tools. Anki for flashcards and Evernote for note organization are not just tools, they are your study companions. They allow you to review and organize your study materials with ease, making your learning process more efficient and enjoyable.

5. Stay active during breaks: Recharge with refreshing walks or power naps to maintain focus.

Leaders

"Narcissistic Leaders 

are threatened by talent. 

They want to be the smartest person 

in the room.

Humble Leaders

are drawn to talent. 

They surround themselves 

with people who make them smarter.

Great Leaders

grow talent. 

They strive to make everyone 

in the room smarter."

Your Story

The Beautiful Moments of You, With You and Through You

 

NjA Art & Photography

“Slow down, take a deep breath

Remember who you are
Right now, all you can do
Is to keep walking through

When your heart is feeling heavy and your mind is full of worry
Don't forget you've made it this far

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

You'll know when it is time
To turn the page and let go
Highs and lows can come crashing in
But you're strong enough to weather any storm

When your heart is feeling heavy and your mind is full of worry
Don't forget you've made it this far

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

Ooh Ooh Ooh
Good things will come wherever you're going
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Good things will come wherever you're going

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

Wherever you're going, Good things will come (Ooh Ooh Ooh)

Good things will come wherever you're going

Wherever you're going, Good things will come (Ooh Ooh Ooh)

Good things will come wherever you're going”

Be The Person

 

Be the person who breaks the cycle.

If you were judged, choose understanding.

If you were rejected, choose acceptance.

If you were shamed, choose compassion.

Be the person you needed when you were hurting, 

not the person who hurt you. 

Vow to be better than what broke you --- 

to heal instead of becoming bitter 

so you can act from your heart, not your pain.
