Understanding - Shambhavi Nautiyal

Understanding is one of the traits of the most beautiful human beings on this planet. It revolves around several other values and virtues as well. To be understanding, one needs to have the will to do so, to be empathetic, considerate, caring and compassionate. Understanding one another’s feelings is the foundation of relationships, which creates wonders. Making someone feel understood makes them feel loved and gives them the feeling that they aren’t alone. Other people like them are there to stay by their side.

Understanding someone inculcates one of the prettiest feelings in our hearts, feelings of concern, love and kindness, which make humans human. Understanding strengthens unity. We should all try to understand each other’s feelings at the very least instead of poking fun at each other for that or making judgements about them.

When we allow ourselves to do so with an open heart and mind, we can talk things out properly and strengthen our bonds even further. Thus, we should all try to understand each other’s feelings and decisions instead of hating each other impetuously.

My Graduation Day Speech - Aria Gupta

I stand here to give my speech on this momentous day. This school has given me several opportunities to learn and express my skills. 

When a school year ends, we always find joy in the little things we didn’t see before. The fun of chatting happily during the lunch break, talking to our friends before class starts, the relief of exams finally getting over, telling everybody about our plans when vacations are near, and so much more are some memories we will keep throughout the years.

I would like to thank all my teachers and parents who supported me in every step I made. I would also like to thank the rest of the school staff who kept all the classrooms clean and gave us food in the cafeteria. I would like to apologise to them if we created a mess in the class.

I wish all graduates the best of luck for the upcoming year.

One Life At A Time - Reveda Bhatt

We limit ourselves. We bind ourselves. We let the world define us.

Why?

Is that a right they have?

No

That's a right you gave them.

People say, "You only live once."

Then, again, they comment, "Don't waste your time doing stupid things."

Well, how can they declare what you do is stupid?

If you accept that, how can you believe what they say is right?

Don't let the world define you, sweetheart. It's your job, it's your duty, it's you who'll do that. You know, there's more to discover in this "small world"; mainly, it's you who you need to discover! Those who think that they know themselves, well, they might if ever they've set out on an expedition to look for the meaning of their lives. The problem is when we allow all that others think or say to get to our hearts and make the blocks. You know how to reach a destination; there is more than a single way-if they tried out one, which turned out unfavourably, then you make another.

Mind blocks are just what limit us!

It's in your control to-

keep them if you wish to have a "common" fulfilling life

OR

go above and beyond to make it a memorable one.

One step at a time. One life at a time.

Go crazy. Go mad. One life, baby.

Live it large!

Reflection on my experience of new school - Akanksha Panwar

My experience of the new school could have been better. I was happy because it is good for studying and brightens my future. I was also unhappy because I was leaving all my previous teachers, classmates and friends. It was really different from my last school. The first day was not good because I was so nervous about how the new school would be. But after that, I interacted with classmates and teachers and made new friends. It is going really well in school, and I am happy to be there.

My Graduation Day Speech - Prachi Thakur

I would like to thank all the Pestalozzi staff members who provided me education and all the facilities. Because of them, only I can be in this position. I also thank my teachers and friends who supported me in my difficult situation. Without them, I was nothing. They encouraged me whenever I tried to give up and were there for me every time. 

I don't have words to express my gratitude to them. I am really great full to you. Thank you for doing everything for me.

How we see Understanding?

Understanding is the thing that should be in every human being. Everyone should understand each other. Those people who don't understand easily create trouble and chaos. Sometimes big fights and world wars also happen because of misunderstandings. We should always take action after understanding the matter nicely. Some people take action without having knowledge of it. This may lead them to the loss of friends and loved ones. Education and knowledge are essential. Only then will we be able to handle and understand any situation? We can only take a case if we understand it. Hence, it is imperative to be understanding.

Ritesh Gaire

Understanding can improve explanatorily when one has more true beliefs about correct explanation, and true thoughts are of fundamental epistemic value. When we understand our values, we can make decisions confidently knowing that we have our own back. Understanding is about seeing things connected in larger contexts. When you know something you don't need to mug up. It will stay in your mind forever. If you have an understanding of something, you know how it works, or you know what it means. The more we listen to understand and gather information, the more connected we are. 

Pratyush Chhetri
Ahlcon Public School

Understanding has a particular value that other epistemic states, such as knowledge, do not. This fact threatens the justification for the focus on learning that the history of epistemology displays. Elsewhere it has been argued that knowledge does not possess this exceptional value. There are a couple of lines of argument. However, that threatens to extend the denial of this particular value for knowledge to a denial of a specific value for understanding. Underlying all such challenges is the apparent fact that the language of knowing and learning are closely related. This discussion argues that the kind of understanding we prize most is immune from the concerns plaguing the theory of knowledge. 
Sarthak Rana from Pestalozzi.

Understanding is a significant thing. We must understand others' problems and help them. Understanding a person is an essential thing in every man's life. 
Karma Woeser from Pestalozzi

Understanding is something in which we can make decisions confidently, knowing we have our own back. Achievements have final value. We should understand things. And understanding should be there in each and every person's mind.
Tenzin Tsomo from Pestalozzi, studying in class 7 

Understanding has a particular value. When you understand your values, you can make decisions confidently, knowing that you have your own back. You have spent time thinking about your values, and now you can tell them to help and understand you along the way. 

Aditi Aswal from Pestalozzi

The value that other epistemic states, such as knowledge, do not, and this fact threatens the justification for the focus on learning that the history of epistemology displays. Elsewhere it has been argued that learning does not possess this unique value. There are a couple of lines of argument. However, that threatens to extend the denial of this particular value for knowledge to a denial of a unique value for understanding. (Reference https://academic.oup.com/book/32937/chapter-abstract/278520566)
Shubham Panwar from Pestolozzi

Understanding is about seeing things connected in a larger context. Experience should be there in every person's life. It is the first thing we need to have in our lives. Understanding other people makes your life easier. You will have a positive mind, factual beliefs, etc. The more you know, the more you will see everything better, or else if u don't understand others' feelings, not only for people but for every small creature living in this world, your character will automatically turn into a selfish person. So we should always cooperate with our surroundings, Society, school, and wherever we live. 

Tenzin Choesto from class7 at Pestalozzi

Understanding is the most important thing because, without understanding, many things can happen, like fight between friends. We should first understand the situation and then do because everything depends on understanding. We should have understanding.

Tenzin Dickyi

Understanding can improve explanatorily when one has more true benefits about correct explanation, and true beliefs are of fundamental epistemic value. When we understand our values. We can make decisions confidently, knowing that we have our own back. Understanding is about seeing things connected in larger contexts. When you understand something, you don't need to mug up. It'll stay in your mind forever. If you have an understanding of something, you know how it works, or you know what it means. The more we listen to understand and gather information, the more connected we are. When you know something, you can also imagine and use your creativity. We should sometimes mug up. So, something we need to do by understanding as well.
Shiwani Kunwar

Understanding is the ability to understand things. We can have a clear or complete idea of knowing others' feelings. When we understand our value, we can make decisions confidently, knowing we have our own back. Understanding is more important than our knowledge because understanding is about selling things connected to larger contexts. The feeling of understanding is that subjective experience that income opposes all the emotional and intellectual processes. We undergo the process of gathering evidence to achieve an understanding of an event. It also motivates people to act one way or another.
Jiya Sangrail

Understanding has an exceptional value that epistemic states such as knowledge do not. The language of knowing and the language of experience are closely related. Learning is more valuable than knowing because you need to understand a thing to be knowledgeable about it. Understanding provides a deeper connection between what's happening inside our minds and in the real world. It may be possible to know without knowing, but it is impossible to understand without understanding. At last, we should understand and then learn about it.

Prachi Thakur

Understanding is essential as it is vital to follow the right growth path. It is more valuable than knowledge. It is necessary to feel how people think about us and react. It helps us to understand people's beliefs, feelings, experiences and intentions. It also allows us to make decisions. A person needs to understand something to be helpful. He/She cannot understand what is happening around them. The more we know our thoughts and feelings, the more we can understand someone else'. 

Nisha Gharti Magar

Understanding means communicating with each other and understanding. Understanding is so important. If you don't understand each other's conditions and situation, you can talk nicely and make them feel good. It is so important to understand if you don't understand so you can't work and talk nicely.

Understanding between animals and humans

As we know, an understanding person can understand how others are feeling and forgive them if they do something wrong. The four steps of understanding are " know, use, expand and surpass". We should also understand the feeling of animals as they can't speak for themselves in our language. As we studied in our Sunday School, many animals want to share their emotions with us.

The relation between animals and humans in which man understands the feeling of an elephant. The emotional state of many animals is easily recognizable by their faces, eyes and how their muscle-tone changes, eye size and gaze. Many animals need help and are in danger because people are trying to kill them. That is why they became man-eaters; we still don't understand them. Instead of making them comfortable and able, we are killing them. So we should respect wild animals by keeping a safe distance away, not approaching and removing their environment. If you are scared of wild animals or found while travelling, just don't chase them, stay quiet and calm, and don't touch or get close. So we should also understand the emotions of animals.

Aayushma Gaha

Understanding has a unique value that other epistemic states, such as knowledge, do not. This fact threatens the justification for the focus on knowledge that the history of epistemology displays. Elsewhere it has been argued knowledge does not possess this exceptional value. There are a couple of lines of argument, however, that threaten to extend and denial of this unique value for understanding. Underlying all such challenges is the apparent fact that the language of knowing and understanding are closely related. This discussion argues that the kind of understanding we prize most is immune from the concerns plaguing the theory of knowledge. Animals don't understand the language in a language,  but they understand what you want to mention by your gestures, body language, and tone. These are animals like parrots, monkeys, dogs etc.
Sunita Bk

Understanding is that without which you cannot be a good human being. To be a better human being, one should have understanding. Understanding can improve explanatorily when one has more true beliefs of fundamental epistemic value. Stepwise, we should have an understanding of animals. In understanding animals, Lars Sevendsen teaches us how humans can attempt to understand the lives of other animals. We should understand the feelings of animals then. Only animals and human beings can have a good relationship between them. Let's take the example of a dog and how a dog understands us. Dogs read more into our tone and body language than actual words. They focus on us and observe our physical clues to determine what we want them to do. Understanding why some animals help others at the potential cost of their own survival and reproduction, for example, not only gives us insight into their behaviour but could also help us understand our species' ideas of altruism and sacrifice.

Samarika Karki 

Since humans are more advanced and social, we should have empathy. We should be understanding, caring and loving not only between us and the other person, but we should be understanding, caring and loving to animals also, as they have feelings too. If would be trust between the animal and humans, the world would live in peace. We should betray animals that rely on us; only then will there be a bond between that animals and humans.

Ngawang Lhamo

Humans have various ways of survival. Animals are only dependent upon nature. So, they do not have any other means of survival. Humans have become much more advanced and know several ways to survive and sustain themselves. Animals do not have such survival techniques; therefore, they only depend on nature for food. We can speak a complex language. We use our logic. But animals only do their actions based on instincts. Apart from the differences, humans and animals are similar in certain aspects and have an outstanding bond. Their bond mutually benefits people and animals and is influenced by behaviour essential to health and well-being. This includes, among other things, emotional, psychological and physical interactions between people, animals and the environment. 

Akshra Singh

As we know that the human and animal bond is a mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between humans and animals that is influenced by behaviour to the health and well-being of both. This includes, among other things, emotional, psychological and physical interaction of people, animals and the environment. 

Animals have been protectors, companions, co-workers and even best friends. Humans need animals in their lives to stay healthy, mentally and even physically. Animals are used in standard therapy to increase movement in the handicapped. We should also understand animals' feelings. They can't speak or show their emotions as we can; it doesn't mean we will not respect or treat them however they want. Because they are also like us, they also have feelings.
