  I became happy being a blessed man! As soon as I entered the first standard, one of the students touched my feet candidly and sought my blessing. At first, I thought for a while and became emotional. I suddenly realised that I was a blessed man on this earth. The day brought lots of value and respect to me. I felt proud of being a teacher.   I never expected such a thing would happen. But the student’s respect turned everything into a positive atmosphere. The happening taught me the significance of respect and value to others. That brings happiness and satisfaction. Similarly, we can carry such things with others with the hope of bringing joy and happiness into others’ lives. Lastly, it is said, “How long you live on the earth does matter, but how you live matters.”   By Haridas Patil (Blogger, Educator and Trainer)    

  I become jealous I always feel jealous whenever I see others' progress and happiness. I don't know why I become jealous and, how it comes into my mind. Though I am well educated yet I have this vice. Sometimes I think that education has failed in changing me and my life. Further, I have other vices in my life, such as negativity, lie, dishonesty and fake smile. That's why I opine that education has no relation to mental development. Only the Indian spirituality and the Gurukul system have the power to mould us from outside to inside.                         Therefore, everyone has to take care of Indian spirituality and culture. Moreover, he needs to go through them to secure a better future. Then we will be able to eradicate these modern vices. Otherwise, we become a puppet at the hand of these vices and live a life of helplessness.  

  Children and their childhood are not related to age but mindset. Yesterday I was in the first standard for teaching spoken English. As I saw 65 students sitting in the class, got puzzled over what to teach and how to control them, but I quickly and firmly decided to teach them practical English.   And it was related to their daily routine and body parts.   After that, I started to crack jokes before them. Slowly and gradually, I controlled their roaming in the class. They were ready to pay attention to me. They liked my sense of humour and speaking style. I became glad and satisfied after the period. Interestingly, I found many good things in the children and was surprised by their participation. I just noted down the points which I observed. -        They had lots of questions for me. -        They were ready to make lots of mistakes without any hesitation. -        They had lots of laughs while learning English. -        They were lots of happy with their participation.

  Yesterday I was a little busy because of my schedule and a sudden call from Kishor sir. However, I didn’t produce any fruitful results. It was okay, but I needed to raise myself above par. There are various ways to create opportunities for me and go ahead with my mission. That is a helping hand to my family and my aunt’s family. I have to give my family around 25000 monthly and 3000 to the aunt. Apart from this, I am supposed to care for those who require my help. So, I must go for them and support them anyhow. The last saying is that I am supposed to focus on my core skills and work. That can help me out. For that, I must be authentic and integrated to me. Then, I need to keep every day’s workout session on my daily work.  

  Nowadays I am not working hard and facing lots of financial problems. Even I spend money without any thought on useless things. So I must stop it and plan out better saving ways. Further, I have to start workouts on my skills and responsibility. That is only my solution to recent problems. There was time for me to keep updating but I couldn’t continue. So I had the problems which were mentioned above. However, I have time and opportunity once again to begin my dream. My last sharing is that I keep my aim of earning one lakh per month. For that, I have to plan out that aim and start my action.
