Let's change before we have to


June is that month of a year when summer camps come to an end and schools reopen. We have been all the way to moon and back to Earth but there has been little progress in reducing the onus of carrying super-size to mega-size bags by children. In spite of magic-carpet-rides in luxury cars and easily affordable public transport facilities, this burden has substantial effect on children’s energy level. However, it can be alleviated by actively participating in P.T. periods. Playing sports can help drive out laziness and bring in agility.

Mind- the power of which has no limit is seldom being utilized to its full capacity. We have unconsciously shifted our focus from real games such as Chess, Carom board, Badminton, etc, to unreal games such as Counter strike, Farmville, Ragnarok, etc, available on internet. Virtual games are primarily unproductive and may not help us much in the long run.

How can I be more pragmatic?

  • Enrich your vocabulary:
Richer a person’s vocabulary, higher will be his rate of success in any field. Make it a point to learn one new word a day.

  • Improve your calculation speed:
The ability to perform calculations at lightning fast speed can surprise your teachers and friends alike. Start off by trying to add numbers, of any vehicle’s number plate, mentally.

  • Read extensively:
Develop an insatiable curiosity to read a variety of books, magazines, and newspapers. Over a period of time you would be better equipped to speak on a given topic anytime and almost anywhere.

Positive habits are, any day, far superior to negative ones. Don’t wait for a new year to take a resolution. The right time to change is now.
