TAKING IT SLOWLY..

We are surrounded with events and things that demand our attention. With the development of time this pressure has manifolded many times. The result ? Hypertension among youths. Heart attacks occurring to 10 year olds. Among many others.

It is basic human tendency to seek action. But human minds have limitations as well. There have been numerous studies that show that multitasking is a myth and that it has its toll on the work and health as well. All these things that seek one's attention are usually overwhelming and forces one to take it all in one go. This propels multi tasking and results into neglect and faults in the outcome.

Our education system has been designed to make all entities function equally. It does not take into account that each individual is different. The pace at which each person responds to tasks varies. As a result people are mostly lacking life skills. They almost never know the trick to handle tasks and pressure generated due to task loads. Thus, we can assume that the general masses are mostly incapable to cope with the trends that this new era brings with it. The evidences in support of this are evident.

This is not something that is not discussed often. There are awareness programmes being conducted in educational institutions. The common thing among these programs is that they treat this as a disease and try to heal the one suffering through counselling. A change in ideology is needed to bring visible changes. The youth should be made to acknowledge the changing scenario and provided with the skills to handle the same.


The demand for our attention is not going to decrease, rather the opposite of this is eminent. The secret is to Take It Slowly. Let the reality seek in. Give time to plan and prioritise the tasks at hand and then proceed. Never should we try to multi task because it is never fruitful.

Some tasks can be overwhelming but a mind well trained to contain these feelings is the one that can make it through. A well trained mind will find ways to better manipulate time and ways to automate tasks taking away unnecessary time. Time is the most valuable asset and it should be spent wisely.


Taking things slowly can solve half the problems by itself and the rest is just our action which can do the ultimate justice. Take the days one at a time and tasks too in the same way. This ancient wisdom is a life lesson and learning it is a life skill which we all need. Things are gonna get more complex. Ideal surrounding is soon going to vanish. It is high time to gain as much skills and wisdom as we can. There are many such skills and indeed this is an important one. Learn it and adopt it as a life style and never forget to take it all slowly in the process..

LET THE ACTIONS SPEAK.

Our society today gives much importance to achievements. The support needed while in the struggling period is seldom given by those who surround us. Support comes only after recognition. And recognition comes after achievement. Such a system is pathetic and demotivates many from taking that crucial step. This fear that is generated appeals pupils to play it safe. The declining innovation can be credited to this reason.

What is wrong around us is an entirely different thing. To better understand that we need to have deep insight and knowledge of the society. But the result of that is evident. People prefer to give big talks instead of actually working. They do this with a hope to gather support and sometimes to get social recognition. Well the people who succeed in this big talk business often gather support but that is never a lasting one. The recognition fades away very quickly so as the support gained. But sadly the people today have less patience and want quick results. To achieve this end they agree to hold their endeavours in a safe and socially acceptable way.

Big and small talks,well are good to gain quick attention. This popularity and feeling of being at the centre of gossip leads nowhere. Thus the best way to achieve lasting success and support is to work hard and let the work gain the support it needs. When the work is established in a good way and is backed by consistency, then recognition and support follows as a byproduct.

Let your actions do the speaking and not your mouth. Working in silence is the best medicine for coping with defeat and defame.We learn important wisdom when we work alone. This wisdom makes a strong character. Such a person is stable in scenarios when the hard work pays off as well as during defeat and social humiliation.
They become shielded against all that happens around them. A kind of calm resides in them which is unshaken by external forces.

There are many who have worked tirelessly for months and have made it to the top. But their inner wisdom that they have gained during their struggle does not allow them to change and thus keeps them grounded. They continue to put in equal amount of work even though they don't have to anymore. This respect for work is what separates them from the one timers. Their work keeps blooming and attracts attention. This is the work doing the talking, while the doer is at calm and working for him/herself. In this world where everyone wants overnight success and fame, these souls keep putting in the hard work because they know that after years of working one becomes an overnight success. This is the reality of life. This is what working hard and consistency is all about. Keep pushing hard and let your work do the talking for you..

IDEAL EDUCATION..

Education today is a requirement. Quality education is becoming rare day by day. The main cause for this can be the definition of education itself. The scenario around education is very dynamic. The skill requirement is changing everyday. But the skilling process is not coping up well with the changing market demand. This creates a void in the market. Jobs are getting scarce because the jobs today demand different skills which is not available in the youth who aspire jobs. These problems are prominent but they can be well contained. The odds can be turned in favour. But there are some problems which are making the entire system hollow from the inside. These are the problems of corruption and  favouritism in the sphere of education.

This is nothing new. The puranas and the ancient hindu texts have a lot of such examples. The example of mahabharat can be sighted as an example. Dronacharya promised that he would make Arjuna the greatest archer living. To keep his promise he demanded the thumb of Eklavya as guru dakshina. He knew that Eklavya was better than Arjuna. But still he went ahead with this. This was not what we call ideal educational behaviour of a teacher. Thus even the ancient gurukuls and their gurus were not free from corruption and favouritism.

These phenomenons are found is a much magnified form in today's educational institutions. The teachers have gone ahead miles to prove their power. This powerlust is responsible for educational downfall in educational institutions in general and institutions of India in particular. There is not a lack of talent in the teachers rather they have lost their morals completely. The morals and moral education have high regard in Indian society and homes. But sadly that same moral ideology is absent in its educational institutions.

Education is the exchange of knowledge. But when such exchange involves the three major downsizing feelings, the exchange becomes corrupted. The three feelings talked about here are fear, anger and jealousy. They can ruin the lives and in this case two lives. The teachers today favour students and go in deep to provide them with ill favours. This not only destroys the talent aspect of the student who gets favour , but also is affects the one who is being treated in a wrong way.

This is rampant in the educational institutions of today. Every student has either faced it or has witnessed it being happening. This is the new reality. With such kind of practises present how can we expect our educational institutions to grow and cope up with modern demands. The teachers who do such kind of works are to blame but the teachers who see such things happening and still do not take any steps are equally responsible because they are the ones who can curb this problem. The students who take such favours are destroying their own life. They are treating their talents in an inferior way and are loosing the chances of prospering.

This is a prominent problem. The solution should be prominent and lasting as well. The thing now is who should bring the change. The teachers? The higher authorities? The government? The answer is still unknown. Morality is rare now a days. This rarity is getting worse due to this circumstances. They need to change. They should change for better.
