Parenting High School Children

Maths, Physics, Biology, Engineering alone does not help the universe to exist. There are many things, which we humans know,but many more we are still unaware of.

God's Creations are Unique, nobody is a photocopy, though similarities are excused. Just the same way, talents are unique too.

Parents, has to realize this simple fact. Chidren's inborn interests and talents, are to be recognized and natured, for them to excel in it. Once the students realize their recognition, they try to put in extra efforts in various other field like maths (whatever they are expected to be/ become)

Therefore, having a dream of a kid becoming a doctor/an Engineer is nothing wrong. But curbing their interest and replacing it with the dream of a parent is utter nonsense. The student will fail in expectation and in Life.

But by encouraging the kid, on his interest, He realizes his potential and will try the other options he has. Afterall, there is nothing impossible after many attempts. Hence his success is within his reach.

Leader Creation Possible? !!!

A leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process. A leader is not the boss of the team but, instead, the person who is committed to carrying out the mission. A Leader is never a dictator, but similar to a teacher, making things done through a positive approach.

Leader Qualities

1.Good Listener
2.Focused
3.Organized
4.Available
5.Include others
6.Decisive
7.Confident

Many arguments, that a Leader is born and a Leader is made exists even now.I should agree that Every person is a Leader by Birth, but his experiences might push him back or pull him front, on various circumstances.

Like how a baby wants to learn new things, Every individual experiment many things in Life, which actually decides if he is a Leader willing to lead everyone or a normal person, who wants to follow someone.

Leaders can be created easily by inducing a good attitude in the child's heart.
Some steps to Create leadership Quality

1. Encourage the individual periodically
2. Make the person come out of his Shell
3. Shown him and make him feel his inner potential
4. Make him realize his Importance
5. Teach him who a Leader is (not a boss)
6. Make sure, he is not overwhelmed, but stay humble or atleast resistant at all ups and downs
7. Above all,Teach him, to make way for the new Leaders

Not Every teacher/ counsellor can create Leaders of the same attitude. The wave Length of the Teacher/ Counsellor and the Student should match, for the spark to pick up.
The right Matchbox, with the right stick is needed to create the right flame with right intensity.

How Old are you?

Every Year,I feel very special on a single day. I have felt so special 26 times on my Birthdays. Albeit i am not 26 anymore,But I never felt like counting my years anymore after 26.

May be I dont want to consider myself Older... :)

I remember Learning Maslow's Theory many times, in my college days. Maslow's Theory is one of my favourite too. The Crux of the Theory is the various wants of mankind at different stages.

True, our wants differ, on stages... apart from food and shelter.

But the Social need is a very important one. Crossing this stage does not happen with age alone, also with the people involved in lives. Until you cross this need, self realization is not possible.

I should agree that Social Need, is a need on a continous basis. Any insecurity on the need at any stage, will make the person slide backwards on the hierachy of needs.

Not everyone have successfully felt that their social need is satisfied.

But Self realization is much more important, than anything else.

Thirukural classifies itself into three
1.Arathupaal
2.Porulpaal
3.Kaamathupaal

One can never try to taste Arathupaal which is Spirituality, without feeling fullness in Kaamathupaal which is Social/ Love needs.

Spirituality is not what i was thinking all these days. Reading scriptures, asking what all i need and Thanking for all i have got.

It is total Surrender of yourself to God. Complete Surrender, with no Questions. It is not possible as it looks like. Though you feel like surrendering, it cannot happen in few years. It slowly happens as years roll on.

And you will surrender, when you realize, you have lived and it is enough. You will Simply obey when your ears, eyes, speech, hands and Legs deny yourself.

And You should be Lucky, if you can surrender yourself. Because, you will not feel bad of missing the world anymore. Your pains and Fears will not become an issue. And you would eagerly waiting just to go with Him...

Happy are those, who can taste Eternity!!!

Please Stop Violence

It happened to see a video clipping of how the tamils of Sri Lanka were tortured during the civil war. I do not know the Hisory of the Fight, nor anything about the Tigers. I am not supporting anybody here...

BUT...

It was a 90 minutes clipping. In the same week i pissed in the bed thrice... So disturbing So Hurting.

I may hate someone, my family or community might hate somebody, still they have a right to live.

Blue Cross, What is it for???????

When Humans were not given the respect which we give for animals, why, where is the necessity for associations like Blue cross???

Some Tamil Movies, relesed after the civil war, have Scences of people gets tortured in Nudity. I beg you Story Writers, to Stop taking scences, which depicts the tortures of Sri Lanka.

We are Born to Live, Live at Peace. We might own many Properties, But who ever we are, What ever Position we are in, we will have to Leave everything and Die One day.

Until then why not we aim, to Live happily and Let Live others Happily????

Please Stop Violence, and Lets stop making the Blood Soil!!!
