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,...

*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...

The Ripple Effect of Positive Communication and Good Behavior 🗣️:

 - In today's fast-paced world, the rise of aggressive behavior in schools, families, organizations, and corporations is a growing concern. This trend poses a significant threat to our collective well-being and productivity. It's time for us to recognize that good behavior and positive communication aren't just polite gestures; they are essential for creating thriving communities and a better society. The Foundation of Strong Organizations 💪 For any organization, a healthy internal environment is crucial for success. Aggressive behavior, whether it's verbal insults, passive-aggressiveness, or bullying, erodes trust, stifles creativity, and leads to high turnover rates. It creates a toxic atmosphere where people are afraid to speak up or share ideas. Conversely, an organization that prioritizes good behavior and positive communication benefits immensely. When we feel respected and valued as a team, we are more likely to be engaged and motivated. This leads to:  * Improv...

-  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...

Doing what's right builds confidence:

 - Doing what's right keeps your conscience satisfied. And this builds self-confidence.  When we do what is known to be wrong, two negative things happen.  First, we feel guilt and this guilt eats away confidence.  Second, other people sooner or later find out and lose confidence in us.

Poem: For in the depths of our soul's dark night, Memories shine like stars, a guiding light:

- Forgetfulness: In minds where memories reside, A flame of remembrance,  let it abide. Don't let forgetfulness creep in, And steal the moments we hold within. For in the depths of our soul's dark night, Memories shine like stars,  a guiding light. They whisper stories of love and strife, And weave the tapestry of our life. So let us cherish every fleeting thought, And hold dear every memory we've brought. For in the realm of forgetfulness's sway, Lies a darkness that takes away. The laughter,  tears and moments shared, The love that once was,  and still is spared. The lessons learned,  the trials faced, The triumphs won,  the wisdom placed. So let us tend the flame of mind, And keep the embers of memory aligned. For in the warmth of recollection's glow, We find our identity,  and all we know. Source : Received through WhatsApp message.
