Upper Primary: Ms. Kavita Lal

They say that in school we learn and then we are given a test. But in life we first
get tested and then we learn.

“Be careful!” is a phrase much on the lips of both parents and teachers. But what
if the child learns to be careful on his own? Is the warning really effective? Or,
does it stop children from adventure and freedom to think differently?
New opportunities or situations allow children to think and analyse critically. Too
many admonitions stop the child from exploration and innovation. Our aim thus
should be to teach them how to think, not what to think. Education cannot be
confined to textbooks! Education is not just reading or writing but also about
how to cope in life, how to make a living and how to interact with each other.
Indian mythology propounds a practical application of knowledge just like in the
story of Ramayana, the princes from Ayodhya applied the skills of archery and
warfare learnt from Rishi Vishwamitra, to get rid of monstrous demons.
Education is also about restraint and self- discipline which can be found in the
ancient practice of yoga and meditation. It comes naturally to children who are
involved in sports or learning music or dance. The need for regular and at times
arduous practice and rigor, not only prepares children for challenges but also
gives them the confidence that they can achieve what they set out to do.
Mostly education is about adapting to change. We have all recently witnessed
the metamorphosis of teachers and parents into technology savvy individuals
who continued to provide a platform for learning without letting students miss a
single day of school during the inhibiting days of the Pandemic. Just like
classmates and teachers change every year, children need to be prepared that
nothing is constant and embracing new ideas and challenges is the key to the
road ahead.
It is time to change societies by accepting others and sharing spaces without
judging or complaining. We only have control over our own self and hence, we
must constantly change to stir ourselves into action for self-improvement.

AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP




Research in human development clearly shows that the seeds of empathy,
caring, and compassion are present from early in life, but for that to become
caring, ethical people, children need adults to help them at every stage of
childhood to nurture these seeds into full development.
Children learn caring and respect when they are treated that way. When our
children feel loved, they also become attached to us. That attachment makes
them more receptive to our values and teaching.
Loving our children takes many forms, such as tending to their physical and
emotional needs, providing a stable and secure family and class environment,
showing affection, respecting their individual personalities, taking a genuine
interest in their lives, talking about things that matter, and affirming their
efforts and achievements.
Children learn ethical values and behaviour by watching our actions and the
actions of other adults they respect. Children will listen to our teaching when
we walk the talk.
We should work to cultivate children’s concern for others because it’s
fundamentally the right thing to do, and also because when children can
empathize with and take responsibility for others, they’re likely to be happier
and more successful. They’ll have better relationships their entire lives, and
as we know, strong relationships are a key ingredient of happiness.
Pay close attention to whether you are practicing honesty, fairness, and
caring yourself and modeling skills like solving conflicts peacefully and
managing anger and other difficult emotions effectively. However, nobody is
perfect all the time. That is why it’s important for us to be role models for
children when it comes to humility, self-awareness, and honesty by
acknowledging and working on our mistakes and flaws. It‘s also important for
us to recognize what might be getting in the way of our own caring.

Are we, for example, exhausted or stressed? Does our child push our buttons
in a specific way that makes caring for her or him hard at times? And
remember, children will only want to become like us if they trust and respect
us. Adults can reflect on whether our children respect us and, if we think they
don’t, consider why, and how we might repair the relationship.It’s of utmost
importance that children hear from their parents and educators that caring
about others is a top priority and that it is just as vital as their own happiness.
A big part of prioritizing caring is holding children to high ethical
expectations, such as honoring their commitments, doing the right thing even
when it is hard, standing up for important principles of fairness and justice,
and insisting that they’re respectful, even if it makes them unhappy and even
if their peers or others aren't behaving that way.
Children need to practice caring for others and being grateful—it’s important
for them to express appreciation for the many people who contribute to their
lives.
Learning to be grateful and caring, is in certain respects, like learning to play
a sport or an instrument. Daily repetition—whether it’s helping a friend with
homework, pitching in around the house, having a classroom job, or routinely
reflecting on what we appreciate about others—and increasing challenges
makes caring and gratitude a primary nature and develop children’s
caregiving capacities.
We at Suncity believe that providing the child with the right amount of love
and care, mixed with a bag of discipline and sanskars, can help pave the way
towards a wholesome and successful development.
So, let’s vow to aid our child’s happiness by imbibing the right morals and duly
introspecting our own selves to see them blossom and conquer the world in
their own beautiful ways.

EDITORIAL

Dear Readers
We are delighted that you are eagerly turning through the pages of this
first ever e- Junior Synergy Magazine and virtually sifting through the
sands of time. The Year 2020-21 was a perfect example of the world
bonding as one family-‘Vasudhaive Kutumbukam’, we faced a global
challenge together, supported each other through the tribulations and
gradually empowered and evolved to tackle it as a unified entity.
The Year also highlighted that if we are facing a VUCA world where
circumstances are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, we have
the ability and power to transform it by having vision, understanding,
creativity and agility. The school adapted to the virtual platform
seamlessly with the unstinted support of the parents and student
fraternity. The scholastic and co-scholastic domain was explored with
renewed zeal on several digital platforms. The curriculum explored every
possible opportunity of harnessing learning resources. The proof lies in
the pudding, right? So here we are with our very first edition of our e-
magazine, truly an amalgamation of the thoughts and ideas of
Suncitizens! It beautifully showcases the collaborative efforts of the
students and faculty in compiling our stellar annual performance in
these painstakingly designed pages.
Stay safe and stay healthy for ‘this too shall pass’! Heartfelt gratitude for
your unstinted support as always!

OUR WAR ON THE PANDEMIC

WE ARE NOT LIVING IN FEAR,
WE ARE LIVING IN FAITH!

UNLOCK THE LOCKDOWN WITH VIRTUAL CLASSES
Virtual Classrooms have unlocked the lockdown for the teachers as well as the
students.The students are getting educated in the hard pandemic times. They are

also maintaining social distance that is keeping them safe. They are more
concentrated on studying than ever before. Nothing has been missed-our club
sessions, sports, library, visual and performing arts, all have been hugely successful.
We have been most innovative in holding ICT and MathsFair,Parents Walk-ins and

celebrations.
All it needs is to regulate our screen time and make the best with social distancing.

Truly, virtual online lessons have unlocked the lockdown!

"WE CAN BE CHANGED BY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US, BUT WE REFUSE TO BE
REDUCED BY IT"

Covid-19..The name brings trepidations, anxieties and chills running through us.. Last
year was an year of embracing changes-most of these changes we disliked, yet

these changes have taught us about our inner strength. The hustling city of Gurgaon
and its vivacious people underwent the cycle of fear, panic, foolish bravery and
finally the much-needed caution. The city which is known to be rumbling with loud

noises even as the clock strikes midnight, was gripped by a dark and eerie silence.
However, human race has shown an unparalleled resilience. Gradually, the

businesses got their feet back, the buses, autos and rickshaws got their way back
onto the streets, the children embraced a new school, offices had a new work
culture and we all started living with the “New Normal”. However, along with the
world, My city, my Gurgaon is crawling its way past this pandemic and as the

revered Maya Angelou had once famously quoted, “We can be changed by what has
happened to us, but we refuse to be reduced by it”.

ART OF NOTE MAKING




The Corona virus pandemic trained us for online classes which are very helpful . During
one of my online classes, I learnt something very important that whatever we learn we

should always make a notes for it as the teacher explains concepts and again, as a
follow up post lessons.

I used this to learn all my chapters. It made my life so much easier. My teacher also
shared that we should always have our personal notes. This note making is very
important as in higher classes we would have so many chapters and it would be
difficult to learn them by heart so there we use the note making system. At first, it
seemed quite tough but with practice, it got easier and easier.

All you need to do is listen to the teacher attentively, jot down the key words and main
points. You may use a highlighter or underline them. Next, when you do self-study, refer
to the notes and your book, merge the understanding together and make fresh notes
in an orderly manner. There you go! A whole topic gets covered with points, sub points

and key words, making learning a breeze!

COVID-19 MY GETAWAY VI-C




The past year was tough for everyone due to the deadly and exasperating Covid virus.

To be honest, wearing masks weren’t, what I would call, comfortable. So to get some

freedom, my family and a few family friends, who were vaccinated, decided to take a

road trip to Mukteshwar, a place on the Garhwal Mountain in Uttarakhand where, at that

time, tourists were few and far between. When we reached, the first thing that caught

our attention were the Trishul and the Nanda Devi peaks of the Himalayan range.

Watching the sunlight glimmer on the snow cornice was a wonderful way to start each

of the three days we were there. When we went out to trek, without masks, all I did was

gape in awe. Rays of mellow sunlight filtered through the lace like canopy of the tall

trees in the forest and all around, amber red and lemon yellow autumnal leaves fell from

the trees. We drank the local Rhododendron Juice made from the red flower, but my

personal favorite was the lemon soda made from tart mountain lemons. Our hot

flatbread, chicken, and spicy noodles were even more delicious than normal against the

sub-zero temperatures. This trip was really my escapade from the hodgepodge year

that we had.

THE TIMES OF COVID-19




Meetings and greetings use to be so common. We used to go on outings. Suddenly, all
this came to a halt. Covid 19 abruptly came in.

The whole world started facing COVID 19. No play dates, no outings, no guests and
visitors to everyone's houses!

Nothing happened as normal. These Covid times are very scary. All I do is, stay at
home and do nothing except for playing and studying. But there are a lot of

advantages of COVID-19 too. Like we can stay at home and relax in such chilling cold.
We can save time, fuel and money by doing online shopping. I get to spend more time

with my father. The world is gradually changing. Everyone now knows how to use a
computer! I never knew so much about information technology that I know now!
COVID 19 has come up with bane and boon. Many people lost their jobs but then, there
is now a global opportunity for people to do jobs everyone is troubled with this time.
But human beings are intelligent. Scientists are finding a way to deal with the virus.

Soon, there will be a solution and the world will be back to its normal.

2020 – A YEAR TO BE REMEMBERED




Everyone has gone through a lot this year- and I’m not just saying that because of the
virus, but because of extra time at home, with our families, friends or even alone. We
learned new skills; decent or unsatisfactory, like binge watching Netflix the whole year!




Admit it, there are things that you didn’t know you had or could do in the house itself
until now! This year, all our promises; either it’s to learn how to cook or lose weight, this

virus forced us to do so! But our travel plans, meeting new people, having physical
presence, was taken away by COVID – 19 and handed over to technology which
changed our lives! String of wild fires, airplane crashes in Iraq and Pakistan, the death
of great personalities, social unrest and various natural disasters- all in a year! What’s
the reason behind it all? A virus! A small bacterium changed our lives for good, though it
wasn’t that bad to force ourselves to do things which no one could ever have done; no
matter who forced them and by how much, this virus made us all do what we have taken

as our resolutions but left it incomplete; or didn’t do at all!




This year everyone has learnt a lot, but there has been one COMMON learning… this year
we all learnt how important it is to not drag ourselves completely to work, be on the
phone for… ever, actually! This year has been about understanding and realizing our
priorities, finishing the undone and learning to live a simple and less complicated life.

Corona virus prevention,
It's such a big tension.
If you fall prey to it,

You need medical intervention.
It can cause breathing problems,

Even lead to lack of sensation.

You are young and may recover easily,
But for your elders, have consideration.

Going out is certainly a temptation,
But let's wait for the vaccination

And then we'll all celebrate with jubilation.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS-A FUTURE SCHOOL FOR ALL?




Virtual classrooms are overtaking the traditional, physical classes we
all know. They have helped us to avoid an idle mind and a devil’s

workshop! Virtual classes are flexible, they are easier for the student-
teacher balance. While learning, students open up, because they feel
confident and relaxed, because they know they are at their homes,

because they have so many things to share. Online learning can be
accessible by anyone in the whole world, like for example- if an student
from a different country, or and author of and different country is going
to speak to you in school, there is not much of a chance the he/she will
come there in person, they will, probably video call, but in online school,
you can just call the person up and they will show themselves and give

whole of their time to you. There is also a variety of programmes to
choose from or explore, you can learn new things like maybe coding or
learn something new in power point or word and it is also easier for the

teachers to explain their methods to students.




Virtual classes also give us a chance to get creative, we can learn new
skills and make videos, PowerPoints and explore ICT tools and apps.
Virtual classes aren’t exactly a piece of cake, due to screentime and
lack of physical connect, but atleast they offer a virtual connectivity

when all else fails.

JUST ADD MAGIC – WEB SERIES REVIEW

Just add magic is a web series about 3 girls – Hannah, Darbie and Kelly. It
is a magical series which starts with the 3 girls wanting to make a cake
recipe for their grandmother’s birthday from a magical cookbook. They
go to Mama P for the magical spices which they have never heard of

before. The story revolves around these girls making various recipes from
the cookbook and the effects of eating the products. The story moves
from Kelly becoming invisible, Darbie becoming a chatter box and she
keeps talking, Darbie becoming dumb and unable to talk, Hannah
entering the cookbook and getting trapped etc. The girls time travel to
1800s and meet a boy named Chuck who was Kelly’s grandmother’s
friend. The series moves from one episode to another and shows the
adventures and magical events that the 3 girls face while cooking from
the magical cookbook. The series ends with the cookbook disappearing
under a gold light and finding itself with a new protector.
I particularly enjoyed the episode in which the girls had to find 3 coins
with coded messages to find a sour dough. They needed the sour dough
to save the Earth from enemies. They managed to find the sour dough in
a closed railway station. It was fun to watch their adventures in finding
the sour dough.
My favorite character from the series is Darbie. I find her funny and she
always cracks jokes to remove stress from her friends and makes them
laugh. She is a great friend and a very happy person.

THE CURIOUS LITTLE ALIEN




Once there was an curious little boy on Planet Cosmos called Rocky. He was full of
mischief and curiosity. He wondered whether there is any life in other parts of the

universe.
His father made frequent visits to Space for exploration work and one day he insisted
on traveling with him. While they were in the space exploring few spatial objects, one

of the rocks in the space came and hit the spaceship and its engine broke. The
spaceship moved out of its orbit and went far into the space. While wandering in the
space, Rocky saw many planets, satellites, meteors, stars and suddenly his eyes fell on

a beautiful tiny little blue planet.
He was curios to know what it was and as the engine of the spaceship had a problem ,

his father decided to do an emergency landing on the planet.

In Children's park, Raju was playing with few of his friends. Along with them was Raju's
dog, Softy having fun playing with the ball.

The spaceship landed in middle of the park and seeing a strange looking object
coming down, the children ran and hid behind the bushes. Softy too managed to hide
behind the kids. Rocky came out of the ship and wondered what sort of planet have
they landed. His eyes fell on the colorful ball that kids were playing with and he picked

it up and threw it in the air.
Softy jumped to catch the ball and took it back to Rocky. Seeing this the alien boy first
got scared but later started enjoying playing with Softy. Seeing the harmless alien boy
other kids also came out from behind the bushes and started playing with Rocky. While
they were playing Raju's mother came to check on them and she was surprised to see

a little alien playing with the children. She asked "Raju who are you playing with?"
Raju said "mom he is just a harmless little creature so we are playing with him". His
mothers eyes fell upon the father sitting in the spaceship and watching. She went to

him and asked him "what are you doing here?"
The alien father replied that his spaceship had an engine failure so they had
emergency landed on earth. The mother said "I can help you I work in Nasa a place
where you can fly back to your planet." Please take us there me and my son need to go
back to our planet Cosmos. The mother took the alien and the father went and flew
back to cosmos on a rocket now Rocky had learnt about other life existing on earth.

From then on he lived happily every after.

THE DUMPLINGS




Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived a young girl named Meena. She
was poor but she was determined girl. Her parents had died when she was young. She

lived in a small wooden hut. She had no company except a kitten who could talk
French and English named Milky. She also had a great attraction towards the prince.

One day the emperor of the land invited all the young ladies including Meena. The
emperor announced “ Young ladies, you have been called today for an amazing
opportunity. You all will be given money to build a house of your own. In each house,
there should be a dish. Whoesever’s dish is the best and the house is strong and fit
for my son the prince, the prince will marry the owner . And one important rule- No
cheating.” All the girls were excited to win the prince’s heart including Meena. She
had heard many stories of his charming looks and intelligence. She got money from
the king and bought a big field for the house. She collected bricks, paint, cement and
much more. She planned how to make it with her faithful pet milky and in a month ,

the house was ready. All that was left was furniture, paint, and the dish.
She cut wood and made comfortable furniture’s with it.She painted the house and
within three days everything was ready except the dish. She saw other ladies had

made houses of gold and had already made their dishes!
She suddenly had a faint memory of her mother and father, who were lovingly
making dumplings and feeding her with joy. She thought to herself “ I will make
dumplings with all my determination and love.” She went inside the house she had
made and soon, there came out beautiful sparkly white dumplings. She had made
thirty dumplings. They were kept on a big silver plate which she covered with a

banana leaf.
On the corner of the plate, there was a small bowl of chilli sauce. She had also made

a garden in the remaining parts of her land. She had grown grapes, mangoes and
much more. There she put it on the small wooden table. The emperor soon arrived to

see the progress. The prince too had come. When the prince saw Meena’s house
and tasted the dumplings, he smiled and said “ Your dumplings are the best! Your
house is strong. I will marry you.” So Meena was married to the prince and lived
happily ever after. And even her pet, Milky was so well fed that she became very fat.

THE DELICIOUS EXAM SHEET




Myra and Seema dressed up beautifully to attend the party late evening.
Just as they were ready to leave, the doorbell rang and they were

surprised to see an alien! Myra and Seema were shocked. They couldn`t
believe what they were seeing. Since the alien was looking very angry,
Myra asked him the reason for it. The alien said that he was very hungry
and he also said that if they didn’t give him food, the powerful army of his
planet would attack them. Seema gave him a cup of noodles but the alien
did not like it. The alien’s anger went through the roof. The alien went
inside their house and was looking for something to eat and he found an
exam sheet in which Seema got full marks. He ate that sheet and he said
that it’s taste was very delicious. After eating the answer sheet, the alien
went back but the next day he came back with his five best friends. Myra
asked them the reason for their visit. The aliens said that they came to
eat the exam sheet with full marks! Unfortunately, that day neither Myra

nor Seema had got full marks in their tests.
Myra gave the alien a sheet in which she had got less marks.

When the aliens ate it, they found it disgusting!
The aliens went back and never came again.

PICNIC TO

THE MOON

Jane and Julia were going on a picnic. It was a pleasant day, the sun was shining
bright. They were walking to their favourite park. Both were excited to take a break
from school. Jane said “I’m so thrilled to be here, I heard that a new planetarium has
opened close by. “ ”Really,” asked Julia with surprised. “Yes,” replied Jane, “we can
visit it after our picnic.” The girls chatted for a while till they reached the park. They

had an amazing picnic.
After a while they got up and went to the planetarium. Upon reaching the
planetarium, they purchased two tickets. They entered an enormous building, which
was shaped like a planet. As they walked in, the black walls with white painted dots
gave a 3 D image and a space like feeling. The display boxes on the wall were lit up
with lights and looked beautiful. While they were admiring the planet like structures,
a loud siren filled the room. The TV screen relayed a live event of an UFO heading for
Earth. Suddenly both of them felt dizzy and passed out. The next thing the girls knew
was that they woke up on the moon. They were dressed in space suits. “How did we
land on the moon?” screamed Julia. “I don’t know” replied Jane frantically. Saw an
UFO heading their way. They both got worried on how they would get home. Then an
idea struck Jane. “We can hop on the UFO to get home,” she exclaimed. It was a risky
one but they had no choice. When the UFO came closer they were shocked with what
they saw- Two aliens controlling the spaceship. The aliens were equally surprised to
spot humans on Moon. As they walked toward Jane and Julia, the girls’ face grew
pale with fear, and they stepped back. The aliens asked, “Which planet are you
from?”.“That one!” said Jane pointing to Earth. “Oh, planet 07689” replied an alien.
“That’s where we were going”, piped up the other. “But Why?” asked Julia curiously.
One of them started explaining, “we have detected radio signals and were going to
check if life existed. You are proof enough and we do not require to go there
anymore” The other added happily,” we wanted to invite someone to our Planet
which is close to the Moon. Here you are”. Julia asked, “Can you do us a favour and
give a ride to Earth? I mean Planet 07689?” The aliens agreed and started off for

Earth. This was their best ride ever.

Then we helped each other to write an

MOTHER LOVES LEATHER
I have a funny mother,

Who loves leather.

All her dresses are made of leather,

All her trousers are made of leather,

All her socks are made of leather,

All her shoes are made of leather,

Leather leather everywhere.

No wonder her name is Heather

Which also rhymes with Leather.

In fact, I now believe my mother

Is the only one liking leather.

Yet, whenever I look into her eyes, in my leisure,

I feel her love towards me will always tether.

Being mischievous, I invite her terror,

Good Lord! This also rhymes with leather!

Anyway, I know she will love me forever,

Despite being cognizant of MANN SHARMA

how much she likes leather.



ROOT FOR
YOURSELF!

‘The Best person who will support you is you, make a try and go for it’ That’s the

advice I got from on e of my friends and it has remained stuck with me always.

In one of my previous classes, I had many friends, who were good at their own

hobbies, and I was good at mine. They knew I loved to sing, so one day during our

classes, a Senior entered our class and asked if anyone from Pacific House wanted

to audition for the Inter-House Patriotic Song Competition, and my friends simply

stared at me, urging me to speak up. I got a little nervous but I finally spoke up and

told her to jot down my name for the audition. My friends got very excited and so

they started encouraging me at lunch. I reluctantly told them about my phobia of

going out and singing with a bunch of kids. Then, one of my friends asked me "Do

you believe in yourself?" I replied in the affirmative and she smiled and said "The

best person who will support you is you, make a try and go for it."

I rushed quickly and nailed the singing, and smiled because I know I was doing

something I loved, but who knew my friends were that deep?

CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL
“Wake up Aryan, wake up!” yelled my mother on a freezing Christmas morning.
I was sleeping peacefully but unfortunately I couldn’t sleep any more. I sprang
up on the bed and asked, “What happened? Is everything okay?” “Yes, only if
you brush your teeth, take a bath, get ready for breakfast because we have to
go to a Christmas Carnival!”, said my mom. Before mom could finish, I came out
after brushing my teeth and ran to the breakfast table. Soon my dad woke up

and he knew our plans and so he was already at the breakfast table and got
ready for our planned outing. I gobbled up everything and we went for the

Christmas Carnival.
The Christmas Carnival was so much fun, as there were many activities planned

and I sang a Christmas carol with the other kids. We also danced on foot
tapping- DJ music and had X-mas savories. There was an art competition and
participated in it whole heartedly. I enjoyed so much last year and will miss the
enjoyment this year but let’s be hopeful that we can again enjoy Christmas in

the same way next year. Merry Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year!

NAUGHTY SNOTTY
I have a dog who is naughty

And his name is Snotty.
He runs around to soak in the sun,
Eating his delicious bun, just for fun

Whenever we scream, Snotty!
Runs away the dog, who is naughty.

When we don’t give him subway,
There in anger, he huffs and puffs trying to blow the house away.

Sometimes he steals the cake,
And sometimes we just give it away... Okay Take!

Oh! That nightmare Snotty!
Undoubtedly, the creature naughty!!!!




KNOWLEDGE…… OPENS DOORS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL




Incredible cricket
I love sports

And also,how the coach takes notes.
But cricket is the best,
Amongst the rest.

According to me basketball, football and other sports are not so good.
Others should also agree, oh yes, they should!
Cricket is the easiest sport to play.
Take a bat and just hit the ball away.

People get relaxed when cricket is the sport, they play
Because all they have to do is hit the ball away.
If not, you can throw the ball
To the batsman, who hits it on the wall.
Now you know cricket is the easiest sport to play,

Because all you have to do is throw or hit the ball away.
I hope now you agree, oh yes, you would
That other sports are not so good!
EAST OR WEST, CRICKET IS THE BEST!!!

FOREVER FORWARD




Release the idea that things could've been any other way. In today’s life,
where everything around us has changed, one thing is still the same and they
are mistakes. We make them all the time and we shouldn’t sit back and have

regrets.
These mistakes that we make, help us grow in life. Some make less and some
make more. We should not be in worry for what we have done but we should

always see what can be done next.
This is where we need to pause, reflect and plan again. There is no point in
wasting time over tears and regrets. They only consume time and energy with
zero results. Self-pity gets us nowhere either. We might as well take the bull by

the horns, deal with the concern and forever move forward.

ALWAYS AT A LEARNING CURVE
The capacity to learn is a gift, ability to learn is a skill and of willingness to
learn is a choice. The best thing I have ever learned is that life never stops

surprises and opportunities so we need to enjoy our life to the fullest.
This also means that we need to stop comparisons with others in life, we
need to compare us with ourselves in the past and realise where and how
we have grown. This also enlightens us that treasure each moment, live it to
the fullest and maximise one’s benefit with the time on our hands. Always
stay calm and cool not matter what comes in our life and try to safeguard

ourselves- as best as we can.

MISTAKES ARE LEARNING MILESTONES




Mistakes have the power to turn you into something you never were before.
Mistakes are a very important part of daily life, whether it’s something as small as
breaking a cup or much bigger like failing an exam. The important part is that we

have the courage to accept it and learn from them or try to make it right.
This is what I learnt not much more than a year ago. My Olympiads were right
around the corner and I was very busy prepping for them. I did not go down to play
nor had fun with my friends. After I stopped meeting them, they started calling me
regularly but I ignored their calls and thought I will make up to them later. After I
had finished my Olympiads, I went downstairs and went up to my friends to play. It
was no surprise! They were mad at me but instead of apologising, I went back

home.
Soon, I got a call from my aunt. She could see something was bothering me and
asked what it was. I told her everything that happened. She smiled and told me that
something quite similar had happened to her when she was not far from my age.

After telling me the whole story, she said that at times like these you have to
swallow your pride, accept that you made a mistake and make it right. Next day, I

did exactly what she told me. She was right and it also taught me an important
lesson that a balancing act is important in life.

NO ELEVATOR TO SUCCESS




There are no shortcuts in life and that is something I figured out recently. Just
like we live in a society which has towers and floors, we avoid the staircase and

take the elevator for shortcut.
We don't use stairs as they take a lot of time and effort, one step at a time but
one gets to gather strength, gain patience and experience it in totality. However,
a lift is speedy, closed with hardly any in depth experience with our surroundings.
Same goes for our goals and ambitions in life. We need to invest time, effort and

experiences to enjoy the journey towards them…one step at a time.
