You are recognised and appreciated by your character

The character of a person is the most important quality which give him name, fame and wealth. We are recognized and respected due to our character which we possess. The building of character is not a single day or short term affair it's a continuous process and can be groomed by the quality of education, social environment and human behavior in which a person lives or get.The three vital ingredients or base on which a human shape its character are, discipline, honesty and labor (activeness). We can analyze these three factor one by one. First important thing is discipline. It’s human nature that we want freedom and do things on our own will and time. If we do not follow discipline then our life will be like a river without any dam which can be disastrous for others and bring numerous harm as it happen in case of flood. But if we control our negative energy by discipline which gives us control over our senses we can be more productive and useful for others just like a river. We can get water for irrigation, generate electricity or store it in case of low rain or drought.The second important thing is honesty. Honesty is not only the transparency in money matter but it should be present in our work and attitude. The success which we have through dishonest means is short term and not permanent it can give us instant satisfaction but in long term it becomes the major reason of dissatisfaction and distress. We start wealth, love and affection in short we lose many things. On the contrary honesty may bring dissatisfaction in early stage but in due course it becomes the main reason of receipt which is positive. Honesty will always remain the best policy irrespective of any time. It make our life promising and beautiful which can give us peace, happiness and satisfaction. Its difficult but not impossible to lead a honest life.Third most important thing is labor or being active. This is true that only labor alone can’t bring success. Success comes from overall knowledge and development. The fire or innovative idea comes from within which inspire and direct our deeds in right and channelized direction. This inner force motivates and inspire us to reach new avenues for growth and progress day by day. Its your ability which can take you to the top but its only the character which will keep you there for longer period.

Life is incomplete and meaningless without the right education

Education plays a very crucial role in our development. We can’t say our life is complete if it is deprived of education. Education is not mere acquiring the capability of how to read or write and have bookish knowledge but it goes further beyond this and touches every aspects of our life.Humans are the most evolved and successful race in all the living beings in our planet. This is not by virtue of their physical strength we know that this is not true. There are many animals who are more capable than us. It's the brain of human beings and its capability to explore and reason things has made it the supreme in this planet. This capacity increases with the proper education. The human brain is the most evolved and powerful we don’t even utilize 10% of its capacity. We can use this important organ in a more constructive and useful way by grooming it with the right education.The culture, prosperity and chracter of any nation is dependent on the quality of education its citizen possesses. there is no argument that the education system of ancient India was one of the best in all of the civilization till date. Student used to live as family member with his guru till his education got completed. They used to acquire knowledge in every aspects of like be it science, medicine, administration, politics, weapons, yoga, spirituality and moral and ethical values. By virtue of this they used to face life in a better way with the view of the welfare of the society.Our modern education system is just the extension of the Britishers and we are still their slave by following the same system which they had imposed on us to groom talents which can serve them and help their dynasty to flourish and function properly. We still consider education as a tool of getting employment whether its Government, Public or private. This was the main reason of British empire to sustain so long because they made our education system to function according to their need and interest. We should make our education system good enough so that we can understand the true meaning of life and behave accordingly. For this we have to implement and borrow some of the contents of our ancient education system which had got the impetus of values, spirituality and humanity. This will help us to ensure our overall development so that we will not just run after the money and think our self worthy and successful by achieving materialistic things.

Human resources are left unutilized in our country

India is one of the most populous country and its number comes only after the China. According to one estimate we are going to be the number one populous country by 2030AD if our population continue to grow at the same pace. The best resource for any country is its pupil which is abundant in our country. But on the contrary this resource is the most neglected and unutilized in our country.The main reason for this inutility is the illiteracy and poverty which has the symbiotic relation and interdependent on each other. Its sad to know and hear that most of our pupil approx 40% are below the poverty line and approx 70% of our population has per day income of mere RS20 only. We can well imagine the scenario and the standard of living of our majority of the people.The education system also has a poor picture and nothing much to cheer about. About 40% of our children are out of school and majority of the school going children leave their studies before their Matriculation. The Govt. mechanism of schooling are ill performing and not providing quality education to their students. In these situation its difficult to improve the quality of our most valuable resource that is human resources and its utilization for the development of the nation.We have the vision to see our country among the developed and powerful nation. This dream can come into reality if we insure proper training to all its citizen especially the younger by imparting them quality education. Each individual must be considered as an asset for the society since each one of us have some inherent talent present within us. This has to be trapped, enhanced, groomed and raised up to its maximum potential. Until and unless we will not achieve this target we will be considered as a third world country and a poor developing nation.People who are educated are also facing problem in getting suitable employment for them and unemployment is one of the biggest problem in our country. Therefore they feel worthless and get frustrated and sometimes adopt wrong means which is also harmful for our society and the nation. This situation can be avoided by giving them suitable training and by providing them proper opportunity. Proper planning is needed for the development of our human resources.

Rejuvenate yourself for the new challenges

The new year 2011 has arrived. It's the time to say good bye to the previous year in which there must be lots of memorable moments. Some of them must be disappointing also But we have to forget the bad experiences and only concentrate on the positive aspects of life definitely learning from the past mistakes and with the caution not to repeat them again. We often use to take the new year resolution in which we concentrate on some particular goal or take oath to come out of our limitations and the bad traits which are present within us.It's the time to recharge our battery and do the planning and their execution to reach our goals. We fail in any work if it is done half heartedly or without proper planning. But its human to do the mistakes same time we have to learn from these mistakes also. It is very well said that failures are the pillars to success. We must not be depressed and give up if things does not happen according to our wishes. There are moments in which we have to accept our defeat also but with the vow that we will rise above and will be the conqueror in our next effort.This is the way how the life goes. We have witnessed lots of new year in our life but each year which has passed is remembered for certain reasons whether good or bad. We must try to make the new year a remarkable one with lots of which will make it memorable and to be remembered for rest of our life. But these are only for our personal success and satisfaction of our desires. The meaning of life altogether changes if you contribute it in the service of humanity and welfare of others.In this fast and materialistic era we are only focused on our personal achievements and has left our social responsibilities. This is the biggest thing which we are ignoring and which is not good for us either. We often blame our society to be selfish and least concerned about others. But we do not realize that its we who forms and run this society. Jesus has taught us long before that we must do the same things which we expect from others. The seeds of hatred can never come up as a tree of love and acceptance. Therefore we must love and take care of the fellow beings of our society and try to spread the message of love and tolerance to make a better society.

Each soul has the spirit of God

The festival of Christmas is celebrated on 25th of December all over the world as a birthday of Jesus Christ. The festival gives the message that love and peace should prevail and flourish in the humanity. The life of Christ was very troublesome and he had to struggle a lot to spread the message of God among the people. He had a tragic end when he was punished and crucified because he wanted to establish the kingdom of God which was against the wishes of the Roman king. But the Christ even prayed for those who were torturing him and wanted to see him dead at the time of his crucification. That’s why he is consider the messiah and the son of the God.There are lot of things to be learned from his life. First of all we must believe in the supreme power that is God and has to believe in his kingdom. No kingdom is greater than him and will perish with the time but one can become immortal if he believes in love and spread it among the fellow ones. Only the deeds are immortal.We must not differentiate among the people as each one is son of God and must be considered equal. We can even win the hearts of our enemy with our love and forgiveness. We should learn to forgive and must be kind towards all the creations of the God. There should not be any room for the violence in the human life. We should learn to live in peace and harmony. Each human body has the spirit of the same God within him. He is always within us and only deep introspection and kind heart is needed to discover him.Today’s Life is full of violence and apathy. There are lots of chaos and anarchy in today’s life. We are wandering for peace here and there but fail to succeed. The belief in humanity has reached towards its greatest low and our ethical and moral values has taken a backseat. We are helpless and looking towards each other for the solution to these problem. But alas we don’t have the presence of Jesus to show us the way and solve this crisis.We must not loose hope and should believe in his preaching which is always relevant for us. We must adhere in the doctrine of humanity and maintain peace and harmony within our society. The true education shows us the same path. If we spread the message of love and reduce the hatred and ill-feelings from our lives then the situation will improve amazingly.

Understand the importance of team for the society

Human beings are social animal. We cannot expect to live without taking support from another. We need one another for our existence and support and this is the basis of our social life. We live in a group and are dependent on each other for various reason. Our family is such a smaller group. We live as a team their where each one shares a definite responsibility for the accomplishment of our goals. We automatically start doing our work with the start of the day like a well synchronized and tuned machine.This tuning has to be further extended within the society too. This is a kind of art and requires your social skills. We need our milkman, vegetable sellers, grocers, chemist, doctor, conveyance provider, teachers and many others in our day to day life. They are not our family members but we need them. Let us consider one hypothetical situation in which you have to rush to the hospital immediately and there is no public transport at the road even the ambulance or your own vehicle and also of your neighbors are not available at that particular time We can well understand our situation that only God can save us then. Hence the development of sense of belonging ness and coexistence is necessary so that people are available to come to your help in that situation or even in your normal life when there is no emergency. We start to learn the team spirit at the school itself when we are a part of a class. We learn how to behave with the others and learn about the interdependency and coexistence. These lessons are further utilized in our adulthood when we start to work and support our own family.There are certain important things which has to be always kept in mind that we should be helping in nature and ready to help others in need irrespective of the return from them. We must be open to the new ideas and have respect for the others, even the smaller one must be given their due respect. If we give respect to others the people will start giving us the respect and it will come automatically. We must not be arrogant and do not try to insult others for any reason or basis. Also we must not give our self-respect either and must not tolerate any deed of humiliation and oppression against us or others.

School plays a vital role in our lives

The role of school is very important for our grooming. We don’t go to school just to know how to read and write. Nor is it only a means to grab degrees by passing the examination and moving to higher classes, but more.Human beings are said to be civilized social animals. Although our homes give us the protection and first feelings of the school and we start learning things from here itself. It's the school where our actual process of learning and development starts and takes shape.We spend at least 12 valuable years of our lives in schools. In this long span of time we ensure our overall development. The acquisition of character and behavior actually takes place during this period which prepares us to face the harsh reality of the outer world when we come out of school. We learn to develop the team spirit and cooperation by developing school spirit. School spirit can improve a student's commitment to education. This commitment can in turn act as a deterrent to negative behavior, such as dropping out of school. School spirit creates a positive learning environment for both students and teachers. And having a positive learning environment is one of the many things that make going to school so exciting.We learn lots of things at school leaving the difficult syllabus apart. We learn how to mingle, develop friendship and socialize with different people. Most important of all, we come to discover ourselves by developing our mind and soul. We teachers pouring their heart and soul in instilling knowledge and wisdom in us. They solve our query, clear our doubts and make us feel what we are and what we have to become in future course of life.The character of society actually is determined at school itself. Hence this key period has to be utilized properly if we would like to lead a successful life. The success does not only lie in becoming a commercial successful person; rather, we must try to be good humans first.The school must also give stress on imparting moral values to us. Developing the academic ability must not be the mere goal of it. A proper environment conducive for learning must be provided at our schools.

People and Government should work together

A good government must meet up with the expectation of the people. A common man expects a lot from his government by actively participating in the election process. He hopes that the new government will be people friendly which will uplift their social and economical condition.A win-win situation for both people and government will be possible if people are aware about their duties and rights and keep government on toes by frequent questioning and monitoring the development program run for their benefit. Govt too must respond in the same way by providing clean, dedicated and people driven administration leaving no place for the corruption.Students too have lots of expectation from a good government. A people friendly government must ensure quality education for its kids apart from health, food, hygiene, housing and employment.We have lots of problem in our society and its difficult to solve them independently one by one. But surprisingly enough education can be the remedy of all these problems alone. If we ignite the lamp of education within every child which are said to be tomorrow future can improve the situation to unbelievable extent. So the government must not ignore the education in the interest of the nation.The big question which arise is how and who will do this job. Is this the responsibility of the government alone or some other people will have to intervene in this mammoth task.Basically it's the responsibility of all the intellectuals and responsible people of our society. They must continuously demand and do whatever possible from them to accomplish this task. This work cannot be left alone only for the government. We must create an atmosphere where people must urge for the need and demand for quality education which has to be easily provided to all.

Each one is important in himself

The life of human is always considered a bless one and superior among all the living beings. All the religion support that the human beings are best in the creation of God. This happens due to our most important and vital organ which is our brain. This makes us the most important and superior on this planet. We have the power of reasoning and learn new things for betterment and sustained evolvement. The education helps as a boon for us in the development of our mind, spirit and soul. We evolve spread and progress due to our education and desire to explore our surroundings.
Life is not a bed of roses. We have to continuously struggle to sustain ourselves and prove our worth. We get depressed if we do not obtain the desired results. But the best way to cope up this dilemma is the sustained and honest effort in our approach and work. This is the key or gurumantra for success. Never loose hope or feel worthless, always believe in your self learn from your mistakes and do things with new vigor and zeal.
True education never tell us to quit we can be down but never out of the race. It’s important to have believed in ourselves. We feel that only the monetary accomplishment as a measure of success but this not the complete truth. Each one of us is important for our family, friends and society. No one else can replace us or ignore our identity. It’s important to have strong will power to meet the challenges of life and be victorious.

True education only can establish equality among people

Modern schooling has become a commercial activity. Students go to the school with a single view that they have to become successful in career and earn handsome money. We see lots of public school mushrooming in cities and villages. This is so because the government machinery for education has failed and people do not rely on them. Only few govt. schools are performing but they are insufficient to bridge the gap of quality education. In this commercialized world it is very difficult to look for the values and morality in education. In fact we hardly have concern for these things.This failure is not due to schools only but the values and morality are rapidly being lost from our society itself. We as a father and mother are not inculcating these thing in our kids. We can’t expect our children to be Harishchandra if we often tell lies and make excuses. In simple words we have to be the role model for our kids then only we can expect them to behave accordingly.Even in modern era of commercial world we cannot discard the importance of guru or teachers in our lives. Its not possible to acquire knowledge without a guru. Hence his presence is very essential for oneself. He is the person which make or ruin our life. But a true guru never inculcate wrong ideas or feelings in his shishya.We are celebrating the birthday of Guru Nanakdev jee as guruparv prakashutsava. It's the duty of guru to lead his followers to the light of wisdom from the darkness of ignorance. The human life is priceless and only true knowledge can show us way how to utilize it fully and get maximum out of it. Nanak jee not only spread the message of love and harmony but also demolished the caste system which creates hatred and differentiate between people. For him each one of us are equal and sons of god and must be given equal rights.Now we have schools for rich and poor and the division starts from the very beginning itself. This has to be removed and we have to look for an uniform education system. This is the biggest challenge of modern society . The quality of education and teaching must be more or less similar and the bridge has to be narrowed for the betterment of our own society and life of the new generation.The responsibility lies on every one and its not the responsibility of the teachers alone. The family, society and teachers has to play the vital role in shaping the character of their children and in result their country.

Child is the most beautiful gift of God

The Children’s Day is celebrated on every 14th of November in memory of our beloved and first Prime Minister of independent India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. We pay our homage and tribute to this great freedom fighter and the most popular Prime Minister ever. His affection and concern for children were not hidden. He was so fond of children that he always used to put a red rose in his coat in memory of a child which was once gifted to him by a little girl . He believed that children too are like flower buds in our garden and must be taken proper care and nurtured to bloom into a beautiful flower which is full of life, beauty and fragrance. He believed that our country will not be developed if we do not pay proper attention on the development of the children because children are the future of any country and its development is totally dependent on the development of its children. If we provide our child their due rights and let them groom by giving them basic necessities and quality education then there is no doubt that they will bring us glory and make us proud with their wonderful works and achievements. This will enable our country too will be listed among one of the developed and successful nation.But unfortunately this is not true for our motherland. Many children still are not given proper care and attention and are lagging behind with their counterparts. The cases of child labor, child abuse whether physical or mental, child marriage , poverty and are still most common feature within our society. Its very sad and unfortunate reality in the nation of Chacha Nehru. More than half of our children are still out of the school how can we expect our country to do wonders in which its future is ignored and not given even their basic rights. Children’s day is a day of fun and festival and children are busy in lots of activities which are held in their schools. We do not celebrate this occasion at our homes it is celebrated only at school. Our dream is no other than our beloved Prime Minister. We also desired to see every child celebrating children day at their respective schools. We must take pledge on this special occasion that we will be celebrating our next children’s day with those children who are deprived underprivileged and are not going to the school.

True education only can give you peace and happiness

Its truly said that education has the divine eyes. Human always strives for happiness. The most common parameter for happiness is the accumulation of wealth. For a small kid getting his favorite toy, clothes or even chocolate my provide happiness but it soon vanishes and we have another object in our priority as a criterion for happiness. The objects might change but this attitude remains as it is as we become older and this continues till we die. The desire of human being is endless and the lust never dies, it changes from on object to another and our pursuit for peace and happiness remains as it is.The question is then how can we enjoy this happiness which seems to be an illusion? The answer is only true education can help us to reach this happiness. Since education goes beyond boundaries and books and liberates our mind it is the only solution to this problem. We often confuse literacy with education but to acquire knowledge we must first achieve literacy. This is the minimum prerequisite in the pursuit of knowledge.We cannot ignore the importance of materialistic needs. But we have to define our own limits as our necessity for and mere accumulation of these goods must not provide us the sense of achievement and pride. People who are truly educated can understand this. There is no end for these lusts and only contentment can salvage us from this lust and ignorance. So for contentment and happiness we must first strive for education. The school has to play an important role in transforming our thoughts and society. It must not be a mere place to make one literate rather they must try to make their children a good human first. Its unfortunate that even lots nearly half of our kids are not getting the education and are out of the schools. The rest half are becoming good professional but looser at the social front. This discrepancy has to be changed in our education system. The stress must be given in salvaging our moral and value system which is on verge of extinction but firstly we have to pose as a role model for younger one by possessing good character.

Light the lamp of education in every home

Deepawali is one of the most popular festival of India. It's a festival of lights. The houses and shops are cleaned painted and decorated to welcome the goddess Lakshmi who is believed to give prosperity and wealth. Children like any other festivals are more enthusiastic for crackers, sweets and fun. But this is not the case in every home. There are many poor people who cannot afford it in proper taste and spirit due to lack of money since they are poor. we feel pity for them but do or care little for their upliftment.The festival of light will be more brighter and we too will enjoy it with more fun if each home will be lighted, decorated and has sweets, crackers and new clothes especially for the young ones. To make this dream into a reality we must do one task i.e we should light the lamp or diya of education in each and every home.This is a huge task because half of our children are out of school. This work can’t be totally left on the shoulders of government alone. This is the responsibility of all the people of society. We must ensure that each child is educated in true sense for or own better future. This is the only solution to many problems like backwardness and poverty.Unfortunately India is considered to be one of the poor country across the globe. Majority of the people are living life below the poverty line and hence festival of Diwali has little meaning for them. This is so because the distribution of wealth is highly misappropriate in our country. The corruption is the main cause of this misappropriation. this condition could be checked and countered with true education. Education is the power and the weaker section of our society can only be empowered if we provide them this weapon. This will make them more aware, informed, and they will be knowing their rights and duties. This will help them in not improving their condition but also in making our society a better place to survive and prosper.So, to make Deepawali prosperous and happy for all if we spread the light of education to each house hold.

Empowerment with Quality education is the key for development of Bihar

Bihar is considered to be one of the underdeveloped or bimaru states of Indian union. Most of the people approx two-third are forced to live life below the poverty line. The misery and apathy has become their lifelong fate and people here struggle just to earn hard fought square meals for their survival.We are into the election for assembly to form our new government. There are lots of political parties and their candidates contesting the election with the promise to change our destiny form backwardness and misery to success and development. Their promises are numerous but we all know the reality. Even though we vote with the positive attribute with the hope that new government will change our lives. The scene unfortunately remains the same.Many governments had come and gone after Independence but the condition of our state hardly improved.Development is still an illusion to us. We are into miserable condition whether it may be education, health & hygiene, employment, industry, roads, electricity, water, sanitation, law & order or even civic sense. The apathy is countless. The faces of leaders changed but the condition hasn't improved compared to other states of India. Development although very failed to reach at the grass root level. The main reason of our backwardness is the lack of proper education system in our state. We do not value and utilize our franchise and waste rights to vote on the name of caste and religious politics which was badly utilized by the selfish and corrupt politician for their own benefits. The corruption at every level and rate of crime and entry and patronization of criminals to the politics added to the misery.The situation can be improved if all of us should unite and vote for our better future. We can get power only through proper education and can develop the gusts to fight corruption and start questioning the political and bureaucracy system. Then it will be difficult for politician to mislead us for their own benefit.
