REAL EDUCATION

Educate * Empower * Elevate

Education received in schools, colleges and universities is not complete until and unless we have developed a sense of ethical and moral living. 

Sympathy and empathy are not taught but ought to be developed and focus of our learning should be developing Human Centric Solutions to the problems faced by humans throughout the world.

EDUCATION = INTELLIGENCE + CHARACTER. 

Mahatma Gandhi - the father of nation - says:

Wealth is lost, nothing is lost,

Health is lost, something is lost,

Character is lost, everything is lost.

The learnings made in the schools, colleges and universities are like the beads of the garland but the beads can be turned into garland with solid thread. Spirituality and its development is that thread. Spirituality develops the human mind to cultivate kindness, sympathy and empathy for the pains of the living - be it humans, animals or birds. Environment is loved by the spiritual person. 

So, develop spirituality to be more educated beyond schools, colleges and universities. 

Pretensions, doubts, excuses are some of the hurdles faced by an individual on spiritual path. Right master with self-effort on the spiritual path leads to right path and destination.

Those who are spiritually enlightened serve the society in wider ways,

NATIONAL LEVEL SEMINAR cum WORKSHOP
                       ON
Qualitative Research Techniques in Social Sciences
          March 3rd and 4th, 2016
                         at
KRUSTI JAYANTI COLLEGE, BANGALORE (INDIA)

I felt the need of self-training in Qualitative Research Techniques in Social Sciences as I always felt lacking while guiding juniors or CEO and entrepreneurs in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). Many times, I felt gagged from within while delivering lecture on CSR. I confess I just crammed the subject from books and internet and vomit it virtually without understanding the concepts in totally and comprehensively.

The opportunity to learn about this skill came in the form of invitation for attending 2-day seminar at Krusti Jayanti College, Bangalore.

The national level eminent speakers included National Fellow, Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), Retired and working Professors of Social Sciences and heads of Department of Social Work, Bharathiar University.

The arrangement by the management, principal and staff was very good. The workshop was entirely handled by the students of MSW and other courses. It was really a pleasure to see the students handling each and every activity with great responsibility at such a young age. India and the world's assets are these students.

The topics  covered in the Seminar were:

1, Perspective Building and Philosophy of Qualitative Research.
2. Observation and in-depth interviews.
3. Focus Group Discussion (FGD)
4, Case Study
5. Ethnography and Participatory Action Research
6. Phenomenology, Grounded Theory and Content Analysis
7. Qualitative Data Analysis

One of the learned speakers exhorted the students to develop sympathy and empathy for the victims of natural calamities. She cited the example of Chennai natural calamity i.e. floods. She exhorted the students by saying: Did you see? There were volunteers, there were media persons and persons from all walks of life who were helping the victims during floods, but there was no social worker or educated MSW social worker. Where were the social workers or the professionals in social work. This is not sympathy or empathy but apathy. Beware, you don't be that. Passion is required to be a good social worker. Merely passing an exam cannot make you a true social worker. Be passionate about your work.


Power tea, lunch and evening tea was arranged by the college management. Punctuality was the essence. Generally, the seminars and conferences start at time, but the agenda is least followed later on. But in this case, it was not so. The agenda was strictly followed.

After valediction, at the end of 2 -day seminar, all the delegates were awarded with:

1, Certificate of participation,
2. Certificate of attendance.
3, Group photograph.

I thank all - the management, principal and staff, department of social sciences, students and co-delegates - for such a good seminar that has developed my skill in social sciences and given me enough insight into the social sciences. My special thanks to Fr. Josekutty PD, Principal, Dr. Gopal Kumar, Dean, Faculty of Humanities, Dr. Jones Richard A, Head, Department of Social Work & Convener.

I will never forget the definition of social science given by Fr. Josekutty PD who said: Social Science is a "science of hope.

In the end, I say THANK YOU AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Source :    

किसान और उसका हीरा

एक गांब में एक मेहनती किसान रहता था। बचपन में उस किसान ने धार्मिक ग्रंथों में पड़ा था कि यदि पुरे मन व लग्न से   प्राथना की जाये तो भगवन  मन की मुराद पूरी कर  देते हैं।  

किसान बड़ा उदमी ब प्रयोगत्मक स्वभाव का था।  एक दिन उसके मन में आया क्यों न शब्दों व् सचाई को जाना जाये। 

 हसीं मजाक के लिए उसने  अपनी किचन पर बाथरूम का बोर्ड लगा  दिया।

 सभी दोस्त  उस के घर आ कर उससे पूछने लगे कि यह किचन है या बाथरूम ? हम बाथरूम में बनी चाय नहीं पिएंगे।  

किसान  बुद्धिमान था बुद्धिमान लोगों  के दोस्त भी उनसे अधिक बुद्धिमान ही हो सकते हैं। जैसे शेर की दोस्त केवल शेरनी ही हो सकती है कोई गीदडी नहीं।

उस किसान ने अपने दोस्तों से कहा :

मेरे प्यारे दोस्तो   नाराज़ न होइए चाय किचन में ही बनेगी , बाथरूम में नहीं।  

किचन पर बाथरूम का बोर्ड तो केवल चूहों को धोखा देने के लिए लगाया है ता के बो पढ़े सच में तो ये किचन ही है,,  

यदि पटिआला को जाने बाली बस पर अमृतसर का बोर्ड लगा हो तो मुर्ख उसे अमृतसर को जाने बाली बस समझेंगे परन्तु ड्राइवर और कंडक्टर को तो पता है कि बस  पटिआला जायेगी,  अमृतसर  की टिकट नहीं काटेंगे। 

सभी दोस्त उस सीधे साधे परन्तु बुद्धिमान दोस्त की बातों से उभरी सच्चाई पर बहुत हँसे, दोस्त बुद्धिमान था /समाज नहीं , समाज से बचने  के लिए शब्द बदले, शब्द बदलने से किचन बाथरूम नहीं बन गई , बस पटिआला की जगह अमृतसर नहीं चली गई : सबक : शब्द बदलने से रिश्ते नहीं बदलते ,

इस घटना को हुए कुछ ही  दिन हुए तो एक सन्यासी उस किसान के घर पर भिक्षा लेने के लिए आया/, किसान ने उस स्वामी की बहुत आओ भगत की/ , स्वामीजी ने आशिर्बाद दिया : भगवान तुम्हें हीरे जवाहारात दे/, 

किसान ने बड़ी  उत्सुकता से पूछा :         स्वामीजी मैं तो किसान हूँ पूरा दिन खेतों में काम करता हूँ /     तो मुझे हीरा कैसे मिल सकता है /                  स्वामीजी ने उत्तर दिया : तुम केवल भगवान का सिमरन किया करो।  भगवान सब कुछ कर सकता है। जो हीरा तुम्हारी किस्मत में  है बह किसी और को नहीं मिल सकता।  तुम भगवान पर बिश्वास करके  पूजा किया करो/ , बस फिर क्या था                  किसान ने स्वामी के चरण स्पर्श किये और स्वामीजी चले गए  और किसान हर सुबह दोपहर शाम पाठ पूजा करता / मन में एक ही प्रार्थना कि हीरा मिल जाये /

किसान 30 -40 साल भगवान का पाठ करता रहा/, जब भी कोई हीरा ढूंढ के लाता तो बह पत्थर निकलता , किसान को बहुत दुःख होता /, आहिस्ता आहिस्ता किसान ने हीरा ढूंढ़ना बंद कर दिया  और मायूस रहने लगा /हीरा मिलने की सभी आशाएं भी छोड़ दी ,  

बहुत साल मायूस रहने के बाद जब बह अपने खेत में हल चला रहा तो उसमे उसने  एक चमकता हुआ पत्थर देखा/, बह उस पत्थर को उठा लाया और उसी तरह से प्यार करने लगा जैसे किसी हीरे को /,  

साल बीतते गए,  एक दिन फिर उसी  सन्यासी ने अलख जगाई।  

 किसान एक दम उसकी आवाज पहचान गया , ख़ुशी से बह बाहर आया और स्वामीजी को प्रणाम किया , 

उन्हें  अन्दर आने का आग्रह किया/

स्वामीजी जब अन्दर आ कर चटाई पर बैठे तो उन्होंने किसान से पूछा

 : क्या हीरा मिला ?

 किसान ने मायूस मन से  कहा

 : नहीं मिलाजी  मैंने बढ़ी कोशिश की परन्तु पत्थर ही मिले,     अब तो मैंने कोशिश ही छोड़ दी है। 

स्वामीजी का मन दुखी हो गया।  स्वामीजी ने घर में इधर उधर नज़र दौड़ाई और देखा की सामने रखा कुछ चमक रहा है। 

 उन्होंने किसान से पूछा : बह क्या है ? 

बह बोला:         साथ बाले खेत में चमकता पत्थर मिला मैं इसे उठा कर ले आया। 

 लायो , इसे इधर लायो , देखूँ : स्वामीजी बोले 

किसान चमकते पत्थर को उनके पास लेकर आया।  

स्वामीजी हैरान रह गए और बोले :

 भलेमानस यह हीरा है/ पत्थर नहीं / यह तुम्हारा जीवन सम्बार देगा , संभाल कर  रखना दुनिया की नज़रों से दूर /     

 किसान बहुत खुश था मन ही मन भगवान का धन्यबाद कर रहा था और सोच रहा था कि सही है : भगवान पर विश्वास करने व  भरोसा रखने  से सब कुछ मिलता है चाहे पल भर के लिए सही / 

किसान सोच रहा था : प्रार्थना में बड़ी शक्ति है /

यह जान कर कि मेरे पास हीरा है किसान की काम करने की शक्ति बढ़ गई / पुरानी सभी समस्याएं और दुःख भूल गए / नई स्फूर्ति उसके शरीर में आ गई / जीवन एक उत्सव की तरह लगने लगा 

परन्तु किसान की यह ख़ुशी अधिक समय नहीं रही / एक दिन किसान जब सुबह उठा तो उसका बह हीरा अपनी जगह पर नहीं था / 

किसान घबरा गया , सभी जगह ढूंढा पर हीरा न मिला / 

किसान बड़ा दुःखी  रहने लगा /

 उसका  स्वभाव भी चिड़चिड़ा हो गया /

 फिर  दोबारा  बह मायूस रहने लगा /

दुःख की दवा प्रार्थना है / 

किसान फिर प्रार्थना करने लगा /

भगवान ने सुन ली /                                            गांव में शादी का उत्सव था / 

किसान को भी न्योता आया / 

किसान बहां गया /

 लेकिन बैठे बैठे उसने  उधर नज़र दौड़ाई तो क्या देखता है कि उसका हीरा बहां है / 

उसने मन ही मन खुशी महसूस कि चलो हीरा मेरे पास नही तो किसी नज़दीक के गांब बासी के पास है / 

अब बह किसी न किसी बहाने उस गांव बाले के पास जाता है  बैठता है अपने हीरे को देखता है  और अपने घर बापिस आ जाता / अपने हीरे की यादोँ में खुश रहता है।  अब किसान ने अपने मन को समझा लिया  है कि हीरा उसके पास या गाँव बाले के पास क्या फर्क पड़ता है / 

है तो उसकी नज़रों के सामने /

Moral :  To be happy, be content what you have. God gives what you deserve at the right time, Have patience, It pays.

HOW TO EXCEL IN EXAM.

Dear Mr. Tarun,

It is good to know that you are preparing for PMT and will be a doctor in 4-5 years.

Success is a matter of self-confidence, self-trust, self-esteem, self-belief. You are more intelligent that what others tell. Believe in yourself and the world will believe in you. Ignore the comments, suggestions from others. It is you who is working hard. Others can just say: Read, Read, Read and Read. The pass out doctors will never advise you and others have not done any studies in medicine. So, focus on your studies.

GOAL IS PASSING PMT AND BECOMING A DOCTOR.

2016        YOU WILL TAKE THE TEST
2017        YOU WILL BE IN 1ST YEAR OF M.B.B.S
2018        YOU WILL BE IN 2ND YEAR OF SUCCESS
2019        YOU WILL BE IN 3RD YEAR OF SUCCESS.
2020        YOU WILL BE IN 4TH YEAR OF SUCCESS.
2021        YOU WILL BE A DOCTOR AND REST OF THE LIFE YOU WILL BE A DOCTOR.

FOR THIS 3 PRONGED STRATEGY REQUIRED:

1, HEALTH: Good health an make you learn better and take the exam and earn more marks in competition. So,
1.1 Take a glass of water with lemon/honey in the early morning.
1.2 Drink lot of water during the water say: 12-14 glasses of water.
1.3 After every 30 minutes of reading take rest closing your eyes and splashing water on face.
1,4 Eat light food. It digests well.
1.5 Eat  almonds, nuts, walnut, fruits, juice, milk for making your mind and body fit for exams.
1,6 Do exercise or cycling. This energizes the immune system and makes body healthy and fit for exams.
1.7 Take sound sleep of at least 6-7 hours daily. Sleep energizes body and makes it work hard and learning becomes easy.
1.8 Listen to music. Listen to music only, no lyrics. Listen to music closing eyes. It soothes mind.
1,9 Do positive self-talk. Say silently to yourself:
     1,9.1 I am the best.
     1,9.2 My exams are very easy.
     1,9,3 I can do best in the exams.
     1.9.4 I am grandson of S. J.S Pandori, PCS (Retd,)
     1,9.5 Waheguru is always with me. God helps those who help themselves.
     1.9.6 Make a poster, paste your photograph and write your strengths and goals on it.
1.10 AVOID DISCOURAGING PEOPLE OR NEGATIVE THINKERS.


2. TIME PLANNING.
    Time once past cannot be recalled. Even a single moment cannot be recalled by paying million of rupees. So, value time. Don't sit idle. Play well but prepare well too.
    Time wasters are useless talking on mobile, listening to toxic people, toxic talk, non-relevant talk and watching talk. Enjoy food well. Chew well. Eat easy, don't save time here.
Now, as you have taken the print out from the write up, write your daily working schedule. Tuition and school learning will not pay much in making you a doctor. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SELF-EFFORTS. PLAN YOUR DAY.   DAILY ROUTINE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.  Yesterday is history and tomorrow is mystery.      ONLY TODAY RATHER THIS MOMENT is the gift of God. Who wastes the moment, wastes the life.   Work in the moment.

If you plan well and work on the plan, you can complete your syllabus in 1 month very easily.

3. PREPARATION:
3,1 Ambience: Your room should have no distraction.
3,2 Room should have natural light especially from the left side.
3.3 Room should have flower pot with green plant. Looking at the greenery soothes mind and keeps the health ready.
3,4 Watch videos of the subjects on You tube to boost your learning.
3,5 Make mind maps of all the subjects and paste them on the wall.
3,6 Stand before these mind maps and look upon them for about 30 minutes. You will learn  and understand more.
3.7 Listen to music. It improves memory.
3.8 After 30 minutes get up from your seat and walk a while for 5 minutes rest. Close your eyes, splash water on the eyes. You will feel fresh.
3.9 Read, revise, understand and write. Always read with pencil in hand. Keep on underlining what you don't understand and ask others who are expert or Google those topics and read from Google. Google and Youtube or very helpful. Listen to vedios on the subject you wish to understand well.
3.10 Observe silence with eyes closed for 10 minutes in the morning and plan you day in writing. Observe silence with eyes closed before going to bed and focus what you have done during day. How that will help in achieving your goal. What is pending carry forward. Forgive and forget what you don't like in your life. Forgive the people who have annoyed you with their words or actions. Now say Satnam Waheguru and go to be,. Peacefully, enjoy the sleep. Good sleep gives power to mind and makes you learn more.

FAIL=FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING.             NO=NEXT OPPORTUNITY
END = EFFORTS NEVER DIE.  

NEVER COMPARE. You are one and God has made you unique. Nobody can be like you. Nobody has the family like yours, nobody has the school where you go, your mind is different from others. Believe it and work. You are you. You are very intelligent. When you will feel like this you will grow mentally powerful to handle any exam or challenge in life.  Successful people focus on goal while unsuccessful focus on hurdles in achieving goal.   FOCUS ON GOAL AND BE SUCCESSFUL.


DON'T PANIC. YOU ARE INTELLIGENT AND WILL GET THROUGH THE EXAM WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. JUST WORK. DON'T THINK BUT DO AND UNDERSTAND.

IF YOU WILL FOLLOW, I AM 100% SURE YOU WILL BECOME A DOCTOR. DON'T WORK FOR MARKS, JUST WORK HARD, SMART AND FOCUSED, Marks will follow.

3 kinds of students. 1. Just say and do nothing 2. Say and do something. 3. Say nothing and do everything. 3rd kind of students excel in life.

Instant Relaxation

STRESS BUSTER

Pic courtesy: www,telegraph.co.uk, www.fresnoitcycollege.edu

1. Stand up facing sun.

2, Close your eyes.

3. Feel as if sun rays are going inside your body through your closed eyes centre on forehead. 

4, Feel the rays are going down towards toes.

5, You will feel certain strong jerks. This means body is relaxing and stress is going out of the body.

6. Do this for 5 minutes.

7. Do not do this more than 5-7 minutes. I experimented it and found me relaxed.  Exercising like this may affect the body adversely.

REAL HERO

I salute him. When Eshan Balbale saw that children had to walk 1.5 km filthy, sewage stretch to reach school everyday, he made a 4 ft wide and 100 ft long bamboo bridge for them in just 8 days.  Great. Easy, simple, solutions that make life easy are seldom observed, thought and executed.This requires angelic spirit, focus and the will to improve the world for all.

LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL.

 Let's be the one and improve our own environment. Cleanliness and convenience of living is of paramount importance.

STRESS BUSTER

STRESS BUSTER

No complaints, please!

Making our lives better and happier is our prime motive, and we feel the need to make a conscious effort towards it.

Since, the commitment is to our own selves, so, only we are responsible.

We have to look into our lives and see what would make the biggest impact.

We need to give up certain ways and habits and take on something we could continue doing to bring about a positive change in our lives.

Here, I am going to give you a list of a few things you should stop doing so that life becomes blissful and stress free.

STOP COMPLAINING:

Complaining is actually a way of finding fault with everything around you. You build up lot of negativity your system which affects you adversely.

·      Complaining keeps you in stuck in ‘problem mode” and inaction.

·      It spreads negativity to others.

·      A form of rumination.

·      Makes frustration seem more intense and chronic.

·      Keeps magnifying problems.

·      Not really an effective way to feeling better.

Minimize junk food intake.

Poor diet increases stress. Monitor junk going inside your system. Too much caffeine can become exhausting. Emotional exhaustion can cause depression. It is important to give up poor eating habits to rejuvenate your system and get rid of stress from your life.

Making comparisons:

It’s human nature to compare. In the age of social media, it is easy to slip into comparisons. Competitive friendships are common. If we think we are in any way less than our friends, we don’t feel good and this creates stress.

Unrealistic expectations

Real sources of stress in our lives are unrealistic expectations from our own self and from others around us. This generates a sense of lack and disappointment within us.

Safeguard sleep

One of the major causes of stress is not getting enough sleep.  This can lead to a lot of stress. Sleep helps you feel more empowered, better equipped to solve problems and enjoy your life with a stress free mind.

Jumping to conclusions

Many times in life you can react without having all the facts and jump to conclusions. We can assume the worst about others. We like to imagine we are mind readers. We start reacting without knowing the facts.

So, we need to give up the negatives and pick up on the positives in order bring ourselves to a level of happiness we desire.

How to take exam stress free?

EXAM PHOBIA

HOW TO HANDLE THE EXAM OR COMPETITION?

DO’S AND DON’T’S FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS.

Exams create stress for parents and students alike. But if certain precautions and self-discipline is practiced, handling  exams or competitions does not become a stress for parents or students.

Student’s role:

1. Daily routine is the key to success in any exam or competition. Planning is very important. Execution of the planning makes the job of preparation easier. No body can work in two day's. Today is called  "present". "Present" means gift from the creator called God.

2. Self-loading planning with following format helps a lot:

           PLAN YOUR WORK, WORK YOUR PLAN.

           I AM INTELLIGENT. I AM BRILLIANT. I WILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL.  I am responsible for my career and life.

Date:__________

Subject	Chapter Name      Pages	Start Time	Finish Time	Delay in achieving the goal if any and new finish time

Exercise done/not done	Healthy eating Done/not done	Good Music Listened/not listened

Good body possesses healthy mind. You are a mind attached to body not vice versa. So, make the mind healthy. Do PT (physical training) as is done in schools. Cycling helps energise mind. I do static cycling - 100 pedals forward, 100 pedals backward. It energises me for the work of the day.  Otherwise I feel lousy during the day.

3. Be present mentally and physically for study.  Be honest. Dishonesty in study does not pay. Don’t cheat yourself. Sincerity pays. Be sincere. Don’t read to explain to others but for yourself. The best gift to yourself is “education.” Be responsible to yourself not to reply to the comments of others: be it parents, elders, neighbours, friends or known people.  You are talented. Believe it.

4. Don’t study for marks alone. Work hard, read sincerely and marks will follow. Comparison is hell. Never compare. Dr. Manmohan Singhji, the former Prime Minister of India says: Education is what is left after the student has long left the school/college/university.  My view: education works after 50+ of the age. So, educate yourself. Believe in learning. True leaders are insatiable readers and  learners.

5. Don’t compete or compare yourself with others but with your previous performance.

6. How to read:

6.1 Have a separate room for study. Room can be made of bamboos and thatched tarpauline. In one case, I asked a student who had not a separate room for study to erect a bamboo shed in the corner of his house. He had failed in + 2. But after following the instructions and changing his priority he got 80% marks in +2 and is now doing B.Tech. 

6.2 Stop mental distraction like watching TV, speaking unnecessarily or excessively with your friends or classmates physically or on mobile phone. This distracts the mind and discouraging feelings popup. Yes,  discussing a subject is good use of mobile phone and time.

              6.3 Discipline  yourself mentally and physically. Sleep well. Read well. Play well. But pay 100% attention to the activity you do. Focus matters in life. What you focus upon that grows. 

             6.4 Eat healthy light diet. Don't eat heavy diet. It makes you lousy. Lousy means wastage of time. Time is very valuable. Time once past cannot be recalled. I can't go back to the age of 25 years.

             6.5 Exercise daily. Cycling is good. Walking or PT is also good. But beware, you do not walk with the talkers. They distract. Think, plan and talk only about the subjects you wish to excel in.

              6.6 Refresh yourself by washing your face with warm/cold water when you feel tired.  Water has refreshing properties.

            6.7 Talk to positive people who encourage you not discourage you.

           6.8 ALWAYS REMIND YOURSELF: Winners don't care about hurdles in the race but keep their eye on the finish line.

7. Prepare with the end benefits of the  education in your life.  FAIL = FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING.  Don’t discourage yourself.  Many students overdo and do not like to face the failure. Failed means you are in the race. If you will prepare well, there is no question of failure. Guaranteed. Preparation is 99=exam 100   Result= Fail. Preparation 101 = Exam 100 Result = Pass.   Preparation is in your hand. Books are static. You are dynamic. You can increase your efforts. 

8. Love to read at your best. Don’t let your mood  be the boss of your reading habits. Be the boss of your mood. In preparation is only you and your books. MIND IT: Mind is a good servant but very bad master. Be its master. Don't let it push you to work as it desires but  make it work for you.    If the horses of the chariot keep pushing the chariot as per their, the chariot will break. 

 Read the books thoroughly and you will find that you know 80% and just 20% you need to consult others.  Be the master of one book at least. Don't puzzle yourself by collecting lot of books on same subject. Every book has same material to teach. Focus on the subject rather than focusing on negative thoughts like: My school is not good, my teacher is not good, the way of teaching is not good, this book is good, that book is bad, my parents are not educated etc. etc. 

 Jot down what you wish to consult your teachers or senior students. Tell your parents: You pay fee, give food, give clothes and everything. Learning is my responsibility. I will do the best.  Pray and work.  

Touch feet of your parents. Parents are visible God and God is invisible parents i.e. your ancestors. Pray to them and no power on Earth can make you unsuccessful. Yes you need to read and work hard. Merely Prayer will not do.

  9.BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. TRUST YOURSELF.  DEVELOP AN ATTITUDE : YES I CAN!

PARENTS ROLE:

1. Parents role is not limited upto paying fees and financing the child’s study.

2. They should go beyond that.

3. Don’t compare your child with others. Generally parents say: Geetu got 96% Raman got 98% and what about you? This taunt by parents hits and hurts the child’s psyche most.

4. Mind it: Parents need children and children need parents. Don’t compare and make them hate you internally. Rather say: I believe you and trust you will do the best. Exam is a part of life not end of life. So, do your best and leave the rest to God.

 These are the morale boosting words. Once the parents these words, child starts working hard with “do or die” spirit.

5. Do not give unnecessary advice. This disturbs the child.

6. Especially for moms: Ask the child what the child wants to eat. Don’t cook what you want to cook but cook what is liked by the child. Whatever the child likes gives more mental energy.
7. Honey, fruits, nuts, milk  are good for memory and mind sharpening.  Include them in the diet. Follow your child and treat the child like King during this period. Leave criticism for another occasion.

HOW TO STUDY FOR MORE MARKS AND EASY SUCCESS?

1. Be mentally prepared saying to yourself i.e. self-talk (silently) I am braver than my exam. I can work hard and success will be hard. Don’t let study be your master but you be the master of your study.

2. Don’t stress yourself but keep the stress under your control.

 Do deep breathing. Breathe in through nose for 4 secs, hold the breath for 8 seconds and exhale the breath with a blow through mouth in 4-5 seconds. You are refreshed to study.

3. Mind it : LUCK FAVOURS THE BRAVE. You are brave. 

4. Divide the study of one hour in 4 parts:   

 15 minutes read the headings of the chapter thoroughly. 

2. 15 minutes closing eyes storm the brain to understand what you have read. 

3)

Re-read the chapter 4. Now write what you have read.    After every 30 minutes 5 minutes pause and leaving the chair and splashing the water on face pays.

5. Mind Maps can be used for study and correlation of different topics read in the chapter. Read the whole book. It will make the learning easy. Don’t understand but read like a novel.  Always read with pencil  in hand. Keep on underling the difficult points. But do  not stop reading. Continue reading. You will see that only 10-20% you do not know, rest is known to you. Focus on what you know well.
6. REVISION IS THE FATHER OF SUCCESS.
7. Drink water many times. Water rejuvenates learning power.
8. FEAR CARRIES 2 MEANINGS:  Fear = fear everything and run. Fear= Face everything and rise. So, don't fear but prepare and you will be successful beyond your expectations and excel others" expectations.

WISH YOU A GRAND SUCCESS

Note: I tried to insert the table at Plan your work, work your plan. But I could not do so. Please excuse. Draw yourself  and use this chart for checking the "daily progress". You will be happy to know your progress and your result will improve by more than 50% means if you are getting 45% marks they can go to 67% and 67% can be 95+.
