lockdown learning – A Learning Leader

Leading a meaningful and happy life along with enjoying the success

No matter how we define success for ourselves be it happiness, prosperity, professional achievement, personal achievement, A Leader certainly needs a medium to climb the steps to success, conquer it and enjoy that accomplishment and that medium is our body.

A leader needs to lead a happy, healthy and meaningful life in order to be a successful leader.We all know the journey to the step-stone of success is extremely difficult and demanding. A shout out to all the leaders to remind us all what we are leaving behind while struggling to achieve our goal and the ultimate success.

The secrets to lead a life that you have lived and not just survived are not hidden. In fact they are pretty simple and known to everyone. However, we often forget these secrets in the hush and rush of achieving superficial success. These secrets will change our world if we imbibe them in our life. The more we incorporate in our day to day life ,the more we come closer to meaningful and true success.

Choose as many as you can and see the outcome:

Love! as it’s the most powerful emotion.
Smile! It’s a free and all time available energy booster.
Eat Healthy! you will be happy if your stomach is happy.
Exercise! pump up your body and mind with as simple as 30 min. walk daily.
Yoga! heal your soul, mind and discover yourself each day.
A good sleep! makes you recharge for the day .
Avoid judging others! as it adds no positive value to you.

Be Real! don’t try to be someone else, just to please.
Appreciate people, it promotes efficiency and a positive outlook towards all.
Practice empathy, you know you have been in those shoes.
Practice being respectful, you earn respect, when you give respect.
Dig deeper into things, analyze your abstract thoughts and mold them into a concrete idea .
Learn to forgive, no one is perfect.
Believe that you’re blessed, because you really are.
Be thankful, simple cause we got another day to live and of course have got much more than many others.

Learning something new regularly, as learnability is the only skill that will take you further.
Never be hopeless, Hope is the essence of living.
Watch your words, it’s a non reversible action.
Don’t hurt others with your words, you will realize after a few seconds you didn’t mean it.
Sleep in peace and wake in joy, you are ready for the challenges.
Eliminate jealousy, what’s the point? be better than what you were yesterday.
Never criticize yourself, positive self talk invites positive things.
Don’t expect too much, you will ultimately get what you deserve .
Manage your stress and you’ll fix almost everything.
If you respect your own boundaries, people will respect you.
Be childlike and enjoy small moments.
Don’t wait for the last minute to get the work done.
When your body says stop, listen to it.

Be easy. You are the best!

Dear parents,

The school has come to your home, but learning doesn’t have to limit itself to sitting in front of computer/laptops or mobile phones.

Lock down has brought in a new definition to Schooling and learning at home. While schools have come to home in order to ensure that your child doesn’t miss on anything in academics.

A school offers so much more than mere core subject teaching. Your child is inspired and motivated to be creative in writing, public speaking, presentation, games, sports, leadership, and whatnot?

As school is a place for holistic education.How do we compensate while being at home, learning of core subjects continues via online video apps such as zoom, teams etc., yet Parents need to ensure that their child’s creativity keeps flourishing.

Encourage your child to read more, write more and let them write from heart!

Their writings don’t have to be structured or perfect but it should be meaningful to them. You will be surprised by their work , what they produce with little bit of freedom.

Here is one example of how your child can express herself .

More in upcoming letters!

Thanks,

A teacher and parent !

Learning in Lock-down

By: Khushi Verma

She is a Grade 8 student,

and is exploring her writing skills .

Here are her thoughts on learning as a poem.

We learn different things everyday ,
From Alphabets to Engineering ,
We learn how to use things from pencil to hammer,
We learn a new thing everyday,

By learning people start to invent new stuff ,
By the new stuff people from all over the world learn ,
And we would be well known as ,
Isaac Newton who found Gravity ,
Charles Babbage who made the first computer,

Some people learn how to help people learn ,
Some people learn and understand how to construct ,
People like me learn how to learn to play sports like badminton ,
All people in the world in the world learn everything of their choice ,

By learning we are able to choose what our dream is ,
If our ancestors didn’t start learning,
 we would not be this much intelligent ,
Learning new things is amusing ,
And it is very important .
