People who take criticism positively are true winners

We nowadays are becoming more and more intolerant. We do not easily try to accept others views or even give a damn to it until and unless it is favorable to us.We often loose our temper and don’t even try to listen to our mistakes which we might have done knowing or unknowingly. These things are taking us away from the golden opportunity of rectifying our mistakes. We often make mistakes in our social and professional life because it’s human to err. A sensible person listens to his criticism peacefully and without losing his cool. This provides him the opportunity to mend his ways from the wrong path and prevent him from misdeeds.It’s a very old and golden view that people who can accept his criticism is the true winner in this world and has the potential to achieve his desired goal. Goswami Tulsidas in his Ram Charitramanas has advised to keep in touch with your criticizer. A true criticizer is more worthy than a friend who don’t even bother to caution you whenever you are wrong. In ancient times the pupil friendly kings used to visit their kingdom to gather public opinion because the courtesans sometime may give the untrue picture of their praja or commoner.So you should give ear to the words which are against you. You must digest them with ease and comfort but remember to mend your ways if you are wrong. This will be very helpful to you in your due course of life.In school teachers are one of the best friend as well as our best criticizer. They often scold us and as well encourage us on our good work. But this has to be taken along with the criticism. We must take the positive criticism seriously because this shows us the way not to repeat them in future. We should actually be thankful to our teachers for making us what we are. There role is very important. Parents too have a very important role to play in the child life. They must not give unwanted favor to them or encourage them in their affection. This affection may make them spoilt which will be harmful for them and they might develop some bad habits which will be hazardous for them and their future. They must be harsh on their mistakes and must criticize them if them do something unacceptable. This will help them in their upbringing and grooming.

Education is mandatory for your identity

We all want to create our own identification. We are unique in biological sense but we long for identity in social arena. We want to create a niche for ourselves so that we can lead a fearful and independent life. A niche is carved not only in economical front but also in decision making which is necessary in future life. This make us confident, feel worthy and give sense of pride.

Education is the most vital thing apart from requisite for survival of a child. He can enrich his life by getting right education which will empower him to be independent.

We misunderstand identification with only wealth accumulation which is the common notion to be popular and win prestige among masses. Today we are blindly aping western people from their life style to culture in our lives and feel proud of ourselves. This concept is not acceptable in our prestigious culture. We prefer lavish life over simple life and think this is the only ambition in life. We are living in a commercial and market world. Our media like films and television too are propagating this consumerism and playing active and supportive role in this market propaganda.

This has eluded us from our own identity and this is going to be harmful in due course for our prestigious culture and heritage.

We are forced to live in micro family nowadays. Child is no more friends with their Grand parents their place has been taken by television and internet. Now they don't listen to the moral stories which have once been our tradition and part of value education for the young ones.

This is taking away our new generation from our old and best heritage which gave us recognition and made the greatest civilization. If thing are not going to change we once again will have to be the slave (mentally) of the foreign ideology and will loose our own identity which made us appreciated and acclaimed worldwide.

If we will not able to pass the tradition to the younger generation slowly it is going to be vanished. Then everything thing will be the part of the history. We are not trying to discontinue with the pace of development but these things can be ensured even without losing our identity and culture. For this we must feel proud for what we are.

Fortune helps those who help themselves

We often make responsible to our stars for the outcomes in our lives. If things are favorable and according to our wish we thanks our fortune and luck but we don't leave any opportunity to curse it if things are not according to our expectation. It's a very old and famous saying that fortune favors the brave. Our luck helps us if we do things honestly. Or in simple words we can say that our fortune is the opposite reaction or reflection of our deeds alone. It is very well defined by Lord Krishna in his preaching of 'Geeta.' We reap what we sow is the ultimate truth of life.

The true education recommends us that we must rely on our deeds instead of fortune alone. Our efforts are our sole responsibility which is within our control. We cannot predict the outcome but God is kind enough to give according to your work and dedication.

We adopt lots of bad habits just for mere lust of power and money and to satisfy our greed. We loose our vision and lessons taught to us and become slaves of our desires. Instead of short interest we must focus on the long term profit and in the larger interest which include people around us and society as a whole.

There are numerous topper every year which come out of the institutions like schools, colleges and various other institutes. We proudly display their names on the boards and in newspapers. Have the institution ever tried to find out what these toppers have done for society apart from their professional interest? They will be ashamed if they micro inspects their work even in their professional life which will be full of unethical and corrupt practices.

This will be enough to erase their names from their institution boards. This is not who are illiterate are more dangerous for the society it is the so called elite and educated people on the higher post are doing more harm to the society by misusing their post for their personal gain. They have forgotten all their lessons and ethics told to them at school. But they have to remember that one day they will have to pay for their deeds in this very life.

Education is required to have success

Everybody has a desire to succeed in his respective area. The wordSuccess is not so easy to achieve. Have we ever realized what are themain reasons which make us successful or gives failure in our lives? There are certain golden rules by which you can improve your chances of success on keeping them. The most important thing to be successful is to have a well definedgoal or objective which we want to achieve. Then we have to formulatethe plan and make strategies to execute them. There will be the moments inthe way which will demotivate you or you might loose hope andget depressed and sometimes even decide to give up. Even things are not working according to your wish. But the real education gives you the courage and make you capable to overcome these obstacles. A child is curious by nature. He wants to know everything which he observes and feel in his surroundings. A good teacher and parents encourage these habits of the child by trying to satisfy his quest with suitable answer. A goodteacher must step into the shoes of his student and try to seek the answer of those questions which are not known to him. Hence the quest for knowledge should be from the both ends. A child must be free from fear and prejudices and must acquire knowledge in a conducive environment suitable for his studies.This environment is not available in many of our schools. Every school going child in our country must be given propr infrastructure like buildings, playground, sanitation, airy and spacious classrooms with pure and safe drinking water.Apart from these basic facilities there should be good and quality teachers available who can impart quality education to him. There must not be the system which ensures these facilities to the people who can afford or buy to avail these facilities. A system in which even the under privileged people can easily have access to these facilities and empower themselves with the knowledge given to them in their school. So that each one of the society can be given their chance to grow and succeed in life.The foundation for successful life begins at school itself where children understand the purpose and meaning and develop quality and skills to achieve them.

Education can show the path towards development

Bihar is associated with illiteracy, poverty and considered as a backward state. The political system is basically caste based and corruption in the civic life adds to more apathy of this State. But things are claimed to be changing with the new development in the political and social arena. The condition are favorablel for people to do their business in the new improved Law and order condition. People too are attracted towards this beautiful place of Buddha and Mahavira. The glory of this place has to be brought back and this can be made possible only by us. This could be made possible with the improve condition of our education system. Knowledge is the power within itself. It provides us the new definition to our life. Bihar is still lagging in educational front.. The quality of education is also under the consideration and not up to the standard compared with the other States. Although the potential and talent of Bihari people are always considered to be the best and they have brought laurels for us within the country and abroad in many fields. But this number is too little and has to be increase in times to come and this could be made possible by improving the educational scenario of our State. Government is also trying to make education available to all and remove the obstacles in the way towards accomplishment of this goal.Education alone can ensure the development of the people. It is not only important for upliftment of our state but also for its sustained pursuits towards growth and development. It will be more beneficial for us if we ride on the chariot of development with the armor of education. People equipped with right education will be more productive in realizing our dreams and also maintaining the pace of growth.This can be started from our schools. Mere enrollment is not going to serve the purpose. We have to retain the child in the school and we have to train them in such way that they will become more responsible and aware citizens. This will not only sustain our progress but will be helpful in bringing back the lost glory which made us the most important place in the ancient history be it political, religious and education areas.This land has unlimited potential and talents are abundant but we are so far unable to trap, groom and utilize them for our own benefit. Our society will be more successful and developed if we pay attention and give our honest effort to reach to these in trapped potential and show them the light of success and glory.
