Making Everyday A Celebration - Rishona Chopra

You can make each day a celebration by being happy and by being kind to others!!

We usually celebrate on special occasions like festivals, birthdays, anniversaries and more. I’m sure you love celebrating and even I do. But why? Now your answers could be the following:-

• Get time to spend with your family

• Get to watch TV

• Eat tasty food

In the above examples you can see that in these celebrations you watch TV, eat tasty food etc. But is it necessary that in celebrations you need to watch all those TV shows and eat  unhealthy food? No. A celebration is something when you spend time with your families and be happy and be compassionate to people. So what do you think? Can you make each day a celebration? Yes you can. You can make each day a celebration by being happy and by being kind to others!!

So be grateful and thankful everyday and it is itself a celebration!

Life Goes On - Dhriti Sinharoy

 

Dhriti Sinharoy, IX-A, Ahlcon Public school
I'm very compassionate about reading books as they give me a sense of peacefulness, and writing poems is the easiest way to express my thoughts to people. I also find solitude in music and channel my emotions through painting.

LIFE GOES ON-

A year has passed by

in the blink of an eye.

Moments of sadness

And joy has flown by.

Life isn't easy

filled with struggles and despair,

But at the end of the gloomy tunnel

light is there.

Being as bold as brass

you have to find your way,

Through gloomy nights filled with tears

and the dawn of bright new days.

The worries and fears

that plague you each day,

in the long run

would merely fade away.

Just live a life that matters,

Be someone of great worth.

Love and be loved in return

and make your mark on planet Earth.

Find Your Calling - Arindita

Find Your Calling

Finding your calling is to find your true passion and skill. It can be anything, from dancing to studying etc. To find our calling, one needs to see what makes them happy. We often think certain jobs most likely give us success, which is not true. Forcing yourself to do something you do not like or wish to do will not bring you success. You need to find your calling or find the job that makes you happy, which feels like fun rather than work to you. Your calling can even be your hobby. 

I enjoy doing many things, but my calling is contortion and gymnastics. It did take me time to find my true calling; in fact, I found it only 2 months ago. The topic also relates to "It's Never Too Late" because, at first, I thought that I was too old to start contortion. People who do it usually begin from a young age because our bones tend to be more flexible when we are younger. I wasn't very flexible, and in fact, I was lazy too when I started, but I did not give up. After 2 months of intense stretching, I finally reached a part of my goal. I was amazed at my transformation as there was a big difference from what I used to be to what I am now. But still, it wasn't enough, and there is a lot more I need to work on. I plan to continue this goal till I become an expert at it!

Freedom - Arav Agarwal

The secret of happiness is freedom. Freedom for me is playing cricket. I enjoy the freedom of playing cricket anytime and anywhere. Be it 5 AM or 1 PM in the night. Freedom lets me make space for my cricket pitch anywhere, at my home, and when I go down to play. I feel very joyful, happy, and energetic when I play cricket. I am sharing some of my pics playing anytime and anywhere.

Freedom - Rishona Chopra

Freedom as we know, of course, is the joy of feeling free & and doing what we want, to simply have freedom.

We can do what we want, but freedom has its own limits. It's not that we cut the wings on the bird, but it's like a summer adapted bird goes to Antarctica. Can it? It might die... Similarly, freedom is to have the 

initial and foremost rights and along with that the rights to do good deeds, not bad ones, because whatever 

we do your actions will come back to us. 

Many of us are under control, mostly the unprivileged. They somehow are shone beneath us, and their freedom is taken away by their people, but one has the freedom to do anything, and no one can take it away.

So let us correctly use freedom!!

Find Your Calling - Rishona Chopra

Based on the chapter Find Your Calling from Is your child ready to face the world by Dr Anupam Sibal.

We all are here to play our part. We are born to discover, create and learn. We are born to dream, but

we must not choose it under pressure to turn to our profession. We must stick to our true calling.

People might say even our parents might say, “ Be a doctor.” But you actually want to be an engineer. 

When people don’t do what they want to do, they are not happy and might fail too! 

Everybody takes time to decide some at high school others at a very young age, but we must choose

our true calling...

Now I’d like to present a story..(not a true story but can be)

                                        Choosing my calling  

I was pressured to be an engineer as the growing technology amazed people as a child. 

I wasn’t really interested in technology. I wanted to save lives and be a doctor. Although this made

people impressed, my parents said, “ For years, people have been engineers in the family, and we need

this to continue.”

I knew being an engineer would not make me happy at all, and that was not my calling. 

That night, I told my parents that I genuinely wanted to be a doctor that helps people more; screens damage

eyes and I could cure that. Listening to that, I thought my parents felt proud and disappointed

at the same time, but they supported me!

Now I am a successful neurosurgeon! Imagine if I didn’t choose my calling would I be happy? 

I don’t think so.

Although we might be pressured, we must choose what really makes us happy.

Courage - Arav Agarwal

Courage, the value of Values, celebrating 22 Values. #JoyOfLearning, My Good School - Life  Skills Program.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” This quote is by Maya Angelou and tells us that courage is the first step to achieve anything. We all have courage within us; we need to connect with it and take the first step. Whenever I need courage in any situation, I take deep breaths and say positive affirmations and words and I get the courage to face the situation.

For gaining courage inside us we can make some positive affirmation cards which have words like – “Believe”, “Awesome”, “I have the power to make an impact”. These cards encourage us and tell us that we are good and we should try more new things with courage and confidence. Whenever we feel fearful, we can look and read these affirmation cards. It will help us to boost our confidence and gain courage.
