Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

 The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics.  Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final.  Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par !  Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury.  The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?"  The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you".  Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed !  What we sa...

*Imp* Teenagers and underlying challenges of current generation:

-  Teens naturally experience stronger urges and have less ability to delay gratification compared to adults. A teenager is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. There is a continuous socioemotional development happening among teenagers. Puberty brings a surge of hormones that can lead to intense emotions and risky behavior. Teenagers are also grappling with social pressures, identity formation, and desires for independence, which can lead to impulsive choices. Some teenagers experience strong feelings and attraction towards the opposite gender. Unfortunately, this can lead to unhealthy or harmful relationships. Some young people may misinterpret exploitation as love, resulting in painful experiences. These experiences can have long-lasting emotional consequences, including feelings of guilt and depression. Compared to adults teenagers have lesser self control, they might get into unnecessary and undesirable commitment with opposite gender. Thus parents and guardians should m...

Is Humility the Most Valuable Skill We Can Teach?

- 💡 The Unexpected Lesson: When Seniority Bows to Skill: Last week, I had an experience that didn’t just brighten my day—it reaffirmed the value system we desperately need to cultivate in every learning environment. I stopped by a local learning center where a guest faculty member was teaching. This wasn't just any instructor; he was a highly respected individual, a senior professional with years of corporate experience under his belt. In almost every conventional sense—age, career tenure, general experience—he was superior to me. But there was one crucial connection: I had trained him in a specific, professionally-certified skill that he was currently teaching to his students. He had learned this particular expertise from me. A Masterclass in Humility As I quietly stepped into the back of the classroom, I expected to simply nod and observe. What happened next was a moment I will never forget. The senior faculty member, mid-sentence, spotted me. He immediately stopped the lecture,...

Open the taps of giving. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

-  I had heard of *Dead Sea* in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. *A tale of Two Seas!!*  As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as *35%* - almost *10 times* the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea. The other Sea is the *Sea of Galilee.* Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different.   Unlike the Dead Sea, the *Sea of Galilee* is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the Sea of Galilee is hom...

#Ratan Tata- From Childhood to kingmaker, interesting facts and advice:

 - *Ratan Tata ...* *In His Own Words !* “I had a happy childhood, but as my brother & I got older, we faced ragging because of our parent’s divorce, which in those days wasn’t as common. My grandmom brought us up.  "Soon after, when my mother remarried, the boys at school started saying all kinds of things about us. But our grandmother taught us to retain dignity at all costs, a value that’s always stayed with me. It involved walking away from these situations instead of fighting back. "And if it weren’t for grandmom, I wouldn’t be half the person I am today.  "My father and I couldn’t agree on the same thing – I wanted to go to college in the US, he insisted on UK. I wanted to be an architect, he insisted on me becoming an engineer. If it weren’t for my grandmother, I wouldn’t have ended up at Cornell University in the US. It was because of her that even though I enrolled for mechanical engineering, I switched majors & graduated with a degree in architecture. M...

A chain of trust, that never grows old:

 - "United We Stand Seperated We Fall" Side by side,  we walk the path, Together strong, in every aftermath. Through laughter and tears,  we've made our way, A bond of brotherhood,  that shines each day. In times of need,  we lend a hand, A helping heart,  that understands. We lift each other,  up from the ground, And together rise,  without a sound. With every step,  our bond takes hold, A chain of trust,  that never grows old. Through thick and thin,  we stand as one, A testament to the power of camaraderie,  forever won. In this circle of friends,  we find our strength, A unity of purpose,  that forever length. We celebrate our differences,  and embrace our past, Together forever,  in this bond that  will forever last. Source: received through WhatsApp message.

Why doing all the things in a routine makes you stress free?

- A routine is the practice of regularly doing things in a fixed order. Brushing your teeth neatly and getting ready for office at the same time everyday is a routine. Making breakfast everyday on time is a result of routine. Waking up at 5 a.m. and exercising every morning is a routine. Snippets: - 'Humans generally follow a daily routine in their lives. This could be getting up at a certain time, eating breakfast, going to work and so on. There’s a set pattern that our subconscious mind gets used to. It gives us a sense of control and comfort'. - 'Doing something regularly allows you to stick with it, Behaviors become automatic when performed several times'. - 'A lack of organization and routine can develop feelings of anguish and may make your thoughts negative which will make you think more about your problems'. - 'If we want to structure a routine then we should be aware of the tasks that are to be completed'. - 'A structured plan will get thing...
