I Wish to Remain a Student Throughout My Life!!!
O Gosh! Finally, I’m a teacher and my students have immense expectations from me yet I feel that I have a long way to go. I wish to work more and more on my knowledge and skills as whenever I find myself to have acquired a level, some instance crops up which leaves me questioning my own capabilities. And this provides me a new yardstick to measure my caliber and this goes on and on. I really enjoy this entire phenomenon of excelling and accelerating myself as a person. I’m not sure how long it may take to bridge the gap between my current level and the aspired one but definitely, my endeavors will lead me to the strategies for change. This thought doesn’t let me settle down and hence, I wish to remain a student throughout my life!!
But while interacting with some people around me, I feel that we’ve limited ourselves. I mean, we’re not receptive to the new things as we’ve become like the cup which is already full. What happens when we pour tea into an over-brimmed cup, the tea goes waste. In the same way, we’re so filled with our existing knowledge that we’re reluctant to make space for the new knowledge and skills. Creating an ambiance for learning is an excellent thing and if it becomes part of our life, we can experience the miraculous changes in our personality as well as in our life. William James, the founder of modern psychology, once said, ‘Most people live- whether physically, intellectually or morally- in a very restricted circle of their potential being. We all have reservoirs of life to draw upon, of which we do not dream.’
So, I wish to dream like my students who always have a new zenith to reach. I wish to aspire like my students who are multi-dimensional. Like my students, I wish to add a new dimension to my ‘self’ each and every moment, I wish to have the energy, vigor, and exuberance the way my students have so that my passion to achieve something new doesn't die out. I wish to make my life more joyful and meaningful. Hence, I love to remain a student Throughout My Life!!! 
Happy Teachers' Day!!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself f...

How to be happy

By -
Dear All, Let's talk about a positive emotion...happiness. "Happiness starts as a tiny seed. Plant the seeds of happiness, then nurture them each day."                                                                                  -Meadow Linn, spiritual Coach It is very important for all of us to let ourselves know how to be happy. What gives us happiness? Is it  immense wealth, foreign tours, friends, branded shoes or a luxurious car....the list is very long. But these things make us gratified and happy for only a certain period of time. The moment...we fulfill one desire of ours, one more wish generates automatically. So what to do...how to be happy? What is your perception? Please share with me.. Mamta Sharma

Being Uncomfortable Leads to Success!! Friends, How are you? Let me ask you if you ever feel vulnerable. Do you ever find yourself out of your comfort zone? So what do you do to survive in such a situation? Despite our yearning to move ahead and progress rapidly with the changing period, many of us get scared when we are out of our secured position.    What is a comfort zone? Yes, today’s discussion is about COMFORT ZONE. Friends, comfort zone refers to be in a secured position which most of us love to be. I had read somewhere that real life happens out of comfort zones. If we expand our arena by coming out of our comfort zones, we will surely reach the pinnacle of success. What happens when we are out of a secured position?  While training the under-privileged children in an English class, I could experience the discomfort; the students were going through while introducing themselves to a large audience. I come across several people who seem to ...
