Importance of Determination in Students
A strong determination is very important for success. It is the will power that enables us to
succeed in our life. Being students you all need to have certain goals and to possess a strong will power to acquire them. Nothing is impossible for those who have strong will power. They never say that it cannot be done or not possible because they know that there may be some ways to accomplish it.

They always try to find the solutions even if it is very difficult. They strongly believe themselves and work hard to attain it. There is a proverb that says, “Where there is a will, there is a way” it emphasizes the will power. If will power is there, confidence also will be there.

 A student who wishes to get a rank never says that a particular subject is very difficult and that he cannot study it. If any difficulty in any particular subject he will surely spend more time to learn it. Gradually he will overcome the difficulties. The hard work and ultimate devotion with strong will power always lead to success.

ऊँची सोच
ऊँची सोच आत्मविश्वास को जागृत करती है। ऊँचे कद से नहीं ऊँची सोच से सफलता  मिलती है। व्यक्ति के विचार कमजोर नहीं होने चाहिए । शरीर से चाहे कमजोर दुबले पतले रहे लेकिन मन से कमजोर नहीं होना चाहिए। हम सभी को सफलता के लिए मेहनत से घबराना नहीं चाहिए ,कहते हैं---"-जैसी दृष्टि वैसी सोच ,,इस सोच को मै छोटी सी कहानी के जरिए बताना चाहती हूँ --

"एक बार एक गरीब फटे हाल बच्चा बड़ी उत्सुकता से महंगी कार को निहार रहा था, गरीब बच्चे पर तरस खाकर कार वाले आदमी ने उसे अपनी कार में बैठा कर घुमाने ले गया। लड़के ने कहा-साहेब आपकी कार बहुत अच्छी है बहुत महंगी होगी ना...अमीर आदमी ने गर्व से कहा -हाँ, यह लाखों रुपए की है। गरीब लड़का बोला- इसे खरीदने के लिए तो आपने बहुत मेहनत की होगी? अमीर आदमी हँसकर बोला-यह कार मुझे मेरे भाई ने उपहार में दी है ।

 गरीब लड़के ने सोचते हुए कहा -वाह आपके भाई कितने अच्छे हैं ? अमीर आदमी ने कहा मुझे पता है कि तुम सोच रहे होंगे कि काश तुम्हारा भी कोई ऐसा भाई होता जो इतनी कीमती कार तुम्हें उपहार में देता। गरीब लड़के की आँखों में अनोखी चमक थी , उसने कहा- नहीं साहेब.. "मै तो आपके भाई की तरह बनना चाहता  हूँ।"अतः अपनी सोच हमेशा ऊँची रखो दूसरों की अपेक्षाओं से कहीं अधिक ऊँची, तो तुम्हें बडा बनने से कोई रोक नहीं सकता।

Stay Physically Active during Self-Quarantine
As new COVID-19 cases continue to emerge in the Country, many healthy individuals are
requested to stay at home in self-quarantine. Staying at home for prolonged periods of time can pose a significant challenge for remaining physically active. Sedentary behaviour and low levels of physical activity can have negative effects on the health, well-being and quality of life of individuals. Self-quarantine can also cause additional stress and challenge the mental health of citizens. Physical activity and relaxation techniques can be valuable tools to help you remain calm and continue to protect your health during this time.

WHO recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, or a combination of both. These recommendations can still be achieved even at home, with no special equipment and with limited space. The following are some tips on how to stay active and reduce sedentary behaviour while at home in self-quarantine: Take short active breaks during the day. Short bouts of physical activity add up to the weekly recommendations. You may use the suggested exercises below as inspiration to be active every day. Dancing, playing with children, and performing domestic chores such as cleaning and gardening are other means to stay active at home.

Follow an online exercise class. Take advantage of the wealth of online exercise classes. Many of these are free and can be found on YouTube. If you have no experience performing these exercises, be cautious and aware of your own limitations.
Walk. Even in small spaces, walking around or walking on the spot, can help you remain active. If you have a call, stand or walk around your home while you speak, instead of sitting down. If you decide to go outside to walk or exercise, be sure to maintain at least a 1-meter distance from other people.

Stand up. Reduce your sedentary time by standing up whenever possible. Ideally, aim to interrupt sitting and reclining time every 30 minutes. Consider setting up a standing desk by using a high table or stacking a pile of books or other materials, to continue working while standing. During sedentary leisure time prioritize cognitively stimulating activities, such as reading, board games, and puzzles.

कर्मो के महत्व
आज में कर्मो के महत्व के बारे में अपने विचार व्यक्त करना चाहती हूं! मनुष्य के लिए जीवन में अच्छे कर्म करना बहुत जरूरी है क्योंकि जिस प्रकार असली फूलों को इत्र लगाने की जरूरत नहीं होती वो तो स्वयं ही महक जाया करते हैं। उसी प्रकार अच्छे लोगों को किसी प्रशंसा की जरूरत नहीं होती। वो तो अपने श्रेष्ठ कर्मों की सुगंधी से स्वयं के साथ - साथ समष्टि को महकाने का सामर्थ्य रखते हैं।

 इत्र की खुशबु तो केवल हवा की दिशा में बहती है मगर चरित्र की खुशबु वायु के विपरीत अथवा सर्वत्र बहती है। अपने अच्छे कार्यों के लिए किसी से प्रमाणपत्र की आश मत रखो, आपके अच्छे कर्म ही स्वयं में सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रमाणपत्र भी हैं। जीवन में एक बात हमेशा याद रखना कि आपके अच्छे कार्यों को जगत में किसी ने देखा हो या नहीं मगर जगदीश ने अवश्य देखा है। उस प्रभु ने अवश्य देखा है। 

आपके चाहने से आपको कोई पुरस्कार मिले या नहीं मगर आपके अच्छे कर्मों के फलस्वरूप एक दिन उस प्रभु द्वारा आपको अवश्य पुरस्कृत और सम्मानित किया जायेगा। ये बात भी सत्य है कि आपकी प्रशंसा तब नहीं होती जब आप चाहते हैं। अपितु तब होती है, जब आप अच्छे कर्म करते हैं। पानी पीने से प्यास स्वतः बुझती है, अन्न खाने से भूख स्वतः मिटती है और औषधि खाने से आरोग्यता की प्राप्ति स्वतः हो जाती है। इसी प्रकार अच्छे कर्म करने से जीवन में श्रेष्ठता आती है और समाज में आपका सम्मान स्वतः बढ़ जाता है। अतः सम्मानीय बनने के लिए नहीं अपितु सराहनीय करने के लिए सदा प्रयत्नशील रहें।

Covid 19: A Teacher's Perspective
After going through various layouts in the package of 20 lac crores to deal with extraordinary
situation by pandemic in India by the government, where most affected sectors of society –labourers, farmers, industries, infrastructure banking and many more are covered, it is clear that the Indian government is trying to benefit everyone. This move is welcome and was much needed to fight. As per the surveys the amount of the package is about 10% of the GDP of the country there by making some compromises even in the defence sector (reduction in budget outlay) for next financial year. Lot many relaxations in all sectors like less deduction of EPF from salaries, moratorium in EMI`s. Everything is fine, it's the government's responsibility, full marks for it as under the present situation whatever best was possible is being done.

However, the question nobody asked and neither answered, is nothing is thought over the working of private schools big or small as due to sudden lockdown from mid March when session was going to end and fees were not collected completely, the schools somehow managed to pay the salaries for the month of March but schools started facing a severe crisis – financial crunch. The reason is simple students not coming to school, parents finding it difficult to pay the fees due to delay in the salaries, uncertainty in job and future liabilities etc and are asking for waiver of school fees for one quarter i.e from April to June.
The government has not given a clear verdict over this, which affected lacs of private school teachers unpaid, how will they run their family expenditures and pay fees of their ward and lot more. The government has paid attention to the needs of the present  hour but nobody thought about investing in the future, as `School Fees are to be considered as future investment and not expenditure`.

The only insight required is a provision in the financial package for private schools as soft loans for a year or so that when situation normalises and fees are recovered by schools these loan amounts would be repaid, this financial assistance to school will give liquidity to schools to pay salaries to the teachers regularly during this difficult times so that teachers also can run their families and meet unforeseen expenses like sickness etc in their families.
The teaching profession is most unrated as the teachers are underpaid but they are shaping the future generation and an important part of the society too.

 सीखने को रोक नहीं सकते 
कोविड -१९ के इस दौर में जंहा लोग घर के अंदर रहने को मजबूर हैं, वंही दूसरी ओर कुछ लोग ऐंसे भी हैं जो घर पर ही बैठकर ऑनलाइन काम कर रहे हैं।  जो  इंसान  पहले  फोन का उपयोग बहुत कम करता था।  वह भी अब इसका उपयोग ज्यादा से ज्यादा करने लगा है,  और करे भी क्यों न काम ऑनलाइन जो करना पड़ता है, या फिर समय व्यतीत करने  के लिए कुछ न कुछ तो करना ही है। 

जंहा विद्यालय विद्यार्थीयों   को   ऑनलाइन पढाने  का भरपूर प्रयास कर  रहें है।   वंही   माता -पिता भी अपने बच्चों का पूरा साथ दे रहें है।  उनमें  से कुछ माता -पिता तो ऐंसे  भी हैं, जिन्होंने अपने बच्चों की ऑनलाइन पढ़ाई सुचारू रूप से जारी रहने  के लिए  बाजार  के बंद  होने के बावजूद  भी स्मार्ट फोन  खरीदा है।  इस समय की मार सबसे ज्यादा विद्यालय प्रबंधन, शिक्षक और अभिभावक  पर पडी है ।  अब तो ज्यादातर शिक्षकों का  फ़ोन  भी रुक -रुक चलने   लगा है और वह दिन भर इतना गर्म रहता है, कि लगता है की कभी भी फट सकता है। 

हालांकि इसके विपरीत अच्छी बात यह है कि हमें तकनीकी  के क्षेत्र  में काफी कुछ नया सीखने को मिला  है। जिसमे से गूगल कक्षा में अपने फोन की स्क्रीन कैसे दूसरों से शेयर करतें हैं। ऑनलाइन पढ़ाई तो हमने  बहुत देखी थी पर ऑनलाइन कैंसे पढ़ाया जाता है यह भी हमने इसी समय सीखा है।  अंत में मै उन विद्यालय प्रबंधन, शिक्षकों और अभिभावकों का शुक्रिया अदा करना चाहता हूँ, जिन्होंने विपरीत परिस्थितियों में और कम  संसाधनों के चलते  अपने  बच्चों  की पढ़ाई के प्रति एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है।

Discipline shapes  one's Personality
Discipline means order or code of behavior which is the key to success. If you want to be
successful you need to inculcate a sense of duty and obedience of life. Self discipline is essential not only in the student’s life but also in all walks and ages of life. If you are not disciplined and do have a structure, then your life will be full of chaos and confusion.

Self discipline needs to be inculcated very early in life. It helps us to build self confidence, balances our personality and helps us to inculcate good work ethics. Discipline is a must both in schools, home or our workplaces. In today’s world where we see cut-throat competitions and as time is precious; there is a need for us to be disciplined. 

Concentration also comes through self discipline and this will help us to scale new heights. We need to be disciplined both in our personal and private life. Discipline helps us to create an order which helps us to perform in a systematic way. Disciplined life helps in time management. So, if we want to be successful we need to aim to be more self disciplined.

Community Service once a week should be introduced in all Schools
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. It is not surprising that people today are running out of time behind money. They don't even want to know who is next to them and are destroying the neighboring culture. So in this scenario, social services must be introduced in schools so students can be brought to interact with people. Social services can be a medium of inspiration for students to make them realize their responsibilities. The word services means the action of doing work or helping others.

Service is a seed of humanity on which our world is standing. It gives students a platform to explore the real world beyond six walls of a classroom. It is as important as academics and sports work. Students who do community service helps them to understand the importance of interaction with the community. Creating a lifelong habit of service can help students become more healthy over the course of lifetime. Research has shown that individuals who participate in volunteering have better physical and mental health than those who do not. Doing community service makes a student responsible and confident. Community service also helps students to be a future leader and understand how to work in a team.

Service is an important part of a person's life which must begin from childhood and school plays an important role in it. Community services also support growth of various other values in a person's life such as humility, humanity, better understanding, entrepreneurship skills, etc. But if social service is made compulsory, students will do only the minimum work that is needed which will end the purpose of social service. It will result in a problem of morality. Students already have many things to complete after school. Providing service is a struggle between all existing tasks for a student to devote time for it. A student from a poor family will be more likely to do a part time job rather than social services. But service is used to symbolize "anti-racism", young people bring the world together and do not like being differentiated by colour, caste, creed... other ways.

Corona Pandemic- A Curse or A Boon
As we all know today that the world is enveloped in a dark crisis named Corona and we are
not able to find a way out of it.Till 2019 the world was sleeping relaxing but with the start of 2020 the crisis has knocked our doors. It has reached even every remote corner part of the world and has affected about one fourth the population of the world.The complete world is under a slowdown and trying a way out of this every second.The world today seems the same as a fish out of water and is continuously flapping its wings to make a way towards it's life. Corona has led the world to such a phase where humans themselves are feared for themselves and others.

Where it has locked the human species inside the doors but it has been proved as a boon for nature. As we look around today towards various reports on nature they are showing great results which have not been seen in the past many years . A reason behind this can be the less involvement of humans in nature from more than 60 days . So we can say that in this pandemic nature has been gifted with time to renew itself and remove the layer of dirt from it. This changes can be termed as a reform for nature which can be seen around as many water streams are cleaned , the air quality has been improved , the water quality of many polluted rivers is improved to an excellent level , many endangered or threatened species have been seen around the world , greenery is also on an increasing level and many more appreciable changes are seen around.

On the other hand where about one fourth population is affected and the number is an under increase every day. Today humans are running from humans, as they are not able to detect whether a person is a vector or not. Above this concern of disease the other thing which is eating one's mind every day is that the vaccine to this is yet not known . The only effective weapon known till now is social distancing and some other guidelines which have been published by the govt. on a regular interval. There are many more diseases seen till today but today no generation/ people exist on earth who has witnessed the existence of such a disease which is taking humans away from their own species. It is taking the lives of thousands of people every day across the world and also affecting many innocent people in a huge number every day.

As a conclusion we can say that today the mother earth is under a great positive reform and on the other hand the humans are suffering from this unknown disaster. In this manner after looking at all the aspects we can say that the pandemic corona has been proved as a boon for nature but on the other hand it has been proved as a curse for humans.

Importance of Books in our life
Books play an important role in our life. Books are our true best friend in real sense.The books never demand for any complaints about anything. In fact, they provide us sufficient knowledge. They drive us to whole different planets of thought and visualization. Books encourage us when we are disappointed. They prompt us to work hard with confidence and courage. They reduce our unawareness and append to our knowledge and learning. Books expand our wisdom and polish our intellectual ability. 

Thus a book is indeed our true friend. Sometimes, a less expensive book can give you a lot of knowledge. We should understand the value of books. Books are the treasure of knowledge and wisdom. They must be read often to improve yourself in almost every way. They encourage you when you are feeling down, or unhappy. Books help us to decide the type of character we wanna be in life. Good books must be read by us as they give a hope of inspiration and life. Books are indeed our best companion with real sense.

Modernisation
With the rise of modernisation parents have little time for their children. In my opinion
nowadays everyone is in greed to buy best out of everything for their children and their own self. To achieve their goals people have become busier and busier .As a consequence , parents are not able to find time for their children .

In today’s time most of the parents are working both mother and father .Both work hard to provide their child a better future and good comfort for life . Working parents after their busy schedule and hectic day need time to rest to consume the energy for the next day .And with this workload they are not able to find time for their parents as a result children are not seeking proper guidance from parents and lead to children losing their self confidence and motivation .Sometimes a child in misguidance goes to the wrong path.

In conclusion, it is obvious that attention from parents to children is going to astray. Over the period of time it seems parents will be able to provide enough materialism to their children but sharing of love and experience goes missing . I hope parents will understand the implications and will start providing attention to their children .

     Let me go out to Play
🤾🏼‍♂️Let me go out to play
Sitting by the window,
Staring at the door,
Oh how I wish I could go out to play!🤼‍♀️
Dancing by the swamp
Singing‍ by the trees,
Oh! how life could be better from me,
If only you let me out to play!⛹🏻‍♀️
