If you know the selfless, rewarding life of caring for another person, then you also know how heavy things can get — and that's true no matter whether you're a family member caring for a loved one, or a professional caregiver working with a patient. Sometimes, just a kind word of support can help us rise above caregiver burnout.
Whether you're a family caregiver or a paid professional, caring for others can take its toll. We’re at our best when we’re thinking positively, and these small acts that show you care can give you just the boost of support you need to keep going.

nothing

A caring heart will never stray even when its owner has to go
away.
It will think of its happy home
dismissing thoughts of wanting to roam.
No pastures are ever greener than the ones in your backyard. A home is the hearth of the family and love will always keep it warm. A caring heart will always consider this as it goes on its way. When temptation is near
a caring heart will steer clear
and use the loving star
to guide it safely back home.

What does it mean to care? Caring TED Talk
“I care”
“I don’t care”
Well, what does it mean to care?
Let’s start with a scenario.
You have a dog and you are in charge of him/her.
If you don’t already know, taking care of a dog is a big responsibility and it comes with many tasks - you have to work hard to ensure the health and well being of the dog.
“You have to work hard to ensure the health and well being of the dog”
Rings a bell?
We had an issue all about Hard work.
If you read that issue, you already know what hard work is.
Now you are probably thinking the hard work is the same as caring, but they are two different things.
If you truly loved your dog, you would ensure the health and well being of your dog not because of hard work, but because you care.

Hello readers! Welcome to another issue of our school newspaper.
This week’s book review is a worldwide and well-known classic which is known to many. It is ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ written by J.K Rowling.
Harry Potter is a series of 7 novel, a fantasy & novel.
This classic chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The synopsis of this book says, ‘Harry Potter’s life is miserable.
His parents are dead and he’s stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he’s a wizard.
A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After a lifetime of bottling up his magical powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid.
But even within the Wizarding community, he is special.
He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort, who launched a brutal takeover of the Wizarding world, only to vanish after
failing to kill Harry.
Though Harry’s first year at Hogwarts is the best of his life, not everything is perfect.
There is a dangerous secret object hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it’s his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands.
But doing so will bring him into contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined.
Very fascinating isn’t it? The adventures of a once ordinary boy to a well-known wizard. A spectacular storyline worth the read.
I’ve already read this book multiple times and will avoid giving out spoilers for the sake of anticipation.
Majority of you all already know Harry Potter- if you haven’t seen the bold name on every novel and movie. He is one of the most popular book characters worldwide. Interesting, right? Want to know more?
Then keep a look out for J.K Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone’. Get ready to visit the Wizarding world and realms of Magic!
Until Next Time!

When you’re trying to come up with a
new creative solution, a popular brainstorming exercise is to write words on slips of paper, pull them out of a hat at random, relate them to the problem at hand, and see what they spark in your brain.
In other words, sometimes you need a bit of randomness to generate the right creative ideas. It might sound stupid but if you keep an open mind, it really can work.
TED Talks
TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a global set
of conferences under the slogan ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’. Attracting some of the most innovative and provocative thought-leaders on the planet, the best TED talks can provide a shot in the arm of refreshed creative inspiration.
