The Fun Theory

Hi, guys!
This is a Volkswagen initiative. They believe that it's possible to change people's behavior for the better by making their lives funnier. While watching the video pay attention to the oldest man. What does he do?



We strongly believe that if you are motivated you can learn anything; and that's our motto! "Smile, take a sip of fun and work hard." By doing so you are exponentially increasing your chances to understand and learn. That is it for now. Feel free to comment or to solve any doubt. See you...

    Dear teachers
    First of all, congratulations for this first step in your professional life. Who knows, in the future,I could say to my grandchildren:"See that English Course located in that huge building? Nowadays their ownners are EXTREMEly rich!"
    Don't laugh because this history happened to me and an english teacher from Niteroi. I was one of his first students, he begun in an old house in 1969/70 and now, he isn't exactly a rich man but endeed a successful self-made man in our city.
    So, keep on trying guys!!!
    PS: About the video- Henrique- I saw this video in our first class and you talked a lot!

  5. dear thiago,
    I have many books in my library, but
    my favourite one is "The Mysterious Stranger" written by Mark Twain, a fantastic work about ethics and moral sense. A critical view upon this subject.
    Find here an idea of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung:
    "the psychological reality is unique".
    The book is wonderful.
    Leandro
