Father and Son - An Inspirational Story

The following story captured our heart. It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold.

The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support. I am afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment.

The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned from excitement to frustration.

The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished, there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded. Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, Daddy, I think you are wonderful! The crowd broke into thunderous applause.

We all need people in our Lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, I think you are wonderful.

And at times others are expecting this from you.

Are you telling them how wonderful you are?

Say it now and make someone's day or may be someone’s life more pleasant.

Good Friends - Two Horses

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing. If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to the horse's halter is a small bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse, and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting that he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way.

Good friends are like that. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there. Be kinder than necessary - everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly...

Leave the rest to God.

IDEAL TODAY, IDEAL TOMORROW, MY VISION

An ideal world will only exist when no one goes hungry to bed.

The word ideal as defined in the dictionary means something which can exist only in one's imagination, or is perfect but not likely to become a reality.

Inspite of having made developments in the field of science, technology and medicine, our world cannot be defined as ideal. It's a complicated place to live in and is plagued by various issues such as those related to that of the environment, Social issues like poverty and unemployment, political issues between nations which has resulted in hundreds of people being displaced from their homes and several others being killed every day, increasing crime rates, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, and many more.

An ideal world would exist only if these problems were to be eradicated. It would be where we can all exist in mutual harmony with each other, respect each other despite of any differences that may exist, and wise use our knowledge for the betterment of the world not just for us, but for the future generations to come.

You Are Special In This World

In a classroom of 50, the speaker asked, “Who would like this hundred rupees note?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the note.

He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. ‘Well’, he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money. You still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth a full hundred. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, and the circumstances that come our way.”

“Do you know you are unique? Taking into consideration the past hundred years and in the future century, no one had or will have your fingerprints, your lip prints, your ear or toe prints. Your DNA is unique. Doctors have shown that the composition of your blood is peculiar to you. You are, in fact, a special individual with a capacity to achieve great things.”

“Do you remember at school, for example, thinking: ‘how can I do that’ whenever you were instructed to use new skill? Yet each time, after pushing yourself, you ‘discovered’ you had the ability – you even enjoyed it. Once accomplished you never forgot how to ride a bicycle, you had the ability. But you had to really draw on yourself as a child to overcome the inevitable falls. The secret is that this potential must be called upon. Those who give up, fail in their lives. This is known as ‘mind limitation’.”

“We feel we are worthless. But no matter what has happened, or what will happen you will never lose your value. You are special. Don’t ever forget it!”

Now, let’s go to another scene which must be familiar to most of the students:

1. Why can’t you be good for a change?

2. Why are you so selfish?

3. Why do you have to fight with everybody?

4. Why can’t you be like other children?

5. Why must you interrupt everybody?

6. Why can’t you keep your mouth shut once in a while?

7. Why are you so slow?

8. Why do you always rush?

9. Why must you be such a pest?

10. Why are you so disorganised?

11. Why are you such a busy body?

12. Why do you forget everything I tell you?

13. Why are you so stupid?

It is said 12,000 such negative suggestions and rebukes are confronted by child in a span of 15 years. This greatly affects the self-esteem, learning and other skills, thus hampering academic performance, in most of the cases.

Just remember, as the currency does not diminish in value despite being crumpled, stamped and thrown about, the human value never changes adversely despite several such shabby treatments.

Students should learn to overcome this problems, to become a winner!

Blame and guilt are cry baby words; let us get them out of our talk about education. Let us use the word ‘responsible’ and ‘commitment’.

CBSE to Introduce Open-Book Testing in Board Exams

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) introducing an open-book exam within its class X and XII board assessments is a welcome move. It reflects a fresh, innovative spirit trying to reshape education in India - and creating measures to give students a break.

A quick look at the open-book methodo-logy illustrates why. In this mode, students are informed of possible topics for testing some months before their exam. They thus have time to read up thoroughly on these areas and prepare to answer analytical questions rather than mechanical queries. Such questions, designed to teach students how to mine material thoroughly, encourage analytical thought, original perspectives and creative linking of different sorts of information in examinees' minds. What these cancel out is rote learning or getting through coursework using guide books that break subjects into technical question-answer sets, not open fields of knowledge students learn to navigate with skills and practice.

Open-book testing is decidedly a step in the right direction - one which the CBSE should follow the whole way. For critics who prefer the traditional chants of rote learning, get real. Current data shows rote is doing very little for India's learning. Despite our chest-thumping over producing doctors and engineers by the barrel, a recent Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study shows how Indian educational standards have slipped so low, we now rank second-last from the world's weakest - one step above Kyrgyzstan. This, when some of our best students took the PISA test conducted over 73 countries.

Power Of Positive Talk..

A man was lost while driving through the countryside. As he tried to reach for the map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch. Though he wasn’t injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help.

“Warwick can get you out of that ditch,” said the farmer, pointing to an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the decrepit old mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, “Yep, old Warwick can do the job.” The man figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and the mule made their way back to the ditch. The farmer hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins, he shouted, “Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!”

And the mule pulled that car right out of the ditch.
The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted the mule, and asked, “Why did you call out all of those names before you called Warwick?”
The farmer grinned and said, “Old Warwick is just about blind. As long as he believes he’s part of a team, he doesn’t mind pulling.”

Sharpen ur Skills

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job with a timber merchant, and he got it. His salary was really good and so were the working conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to fell the trees. The first day, the woodcutter brought down 15 trees.
"Congratulations," the boss said. "Carry on with your work!"
Highly motivated by the words of his boss, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he only could bring 10 trees down. The third day he tried even harder, but he was only able to bring down 7 trees. Day after day he was bringing lesser number of trees down.

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked.
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."

That's right. Most of us NEVER update our skills. We think that whatever we have learned is very much enough. But good is not good when better is expected.
Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen..

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.

Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.

He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:

"You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because

if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!

That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.

That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Poems by Students..

School Life

I go to school

to make my brains full

To see my teachers

Who have many features

They teach me to learn

In future how to earn

There I have my lunch

With many friends in bunch

My school has a big ground

Its shape is round

We study maths which kills

But our teachers have many skills

We have many subjects

Which sometimes students object

We have the best Principal

Who follows his own principles

We play there many games

With different – different names

Many students bunk classes

And many pass with 1^st classes

When teachers take chalk in hands

The students like to talk with friends

Many students wear specs

For their eyes vision lack

When teachers sit on chair

The students need to stare

In the school we wear tie

And never dare to speak lie

We like to pin up many charts

When our school starts

We sit on wooden benches

With class door having latches

I love my school

For its so cool..!!

Facebook

Book.. Book.. Book..

Everywhere facebook

People are caught on net

Like a fish in fisher’s net

Those who are lazy,

Like them crazy

People differ

Relation differs

But the creator never differs

The friends they make

Are always fake

And add in a friendlist just for sake

They update the status

To downdate the famous

The facebook asks what’s in your mind

But people write out of their kind

The concern the least of safety

And always tries to act crafty

Republic Day Speech for students

Speech 1:
The Republic Day of India is a national holiday of India to mark the transition of India from a British Dominion to a republic on January 26, 1950 and the adoption of the Constitution of India.

Although India obtained its independence on August 15, 1947, the Constitution of India came into effect only on January 26, 1950. During the transition period from 1947 to 1950, King George VI was the head of state. C. Rajagopalachari served as the Governor-General of India during this period. Following January 26, 1950, Rajendra Prasad was elected as the president of India.

A republic is a state or country that is not led by a hereditary monarch. A Republic India signifies the end of British domination on Indian people. This day signifies the power of Non Violence to lead a country to Victory with total Dignity.

Dreams of great people who have fought and sacrificed everything for our country have come true on this day.

This one day is what great people like Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Lajpat Rai and many more would have loved to see and experience. But now if they would have been alive they would not bear the situation of our country-truth , nonviolence, harmony have faded, we are running blindly towards doom, we are aiming for a lazy life.

My dear friends come Let us begin on this Day a new war for India's Progress, for India's Peace and for India. Let the Revolution begin....

source: YAHOO! Answer

Speech 2:

As soon as we hear the word Republic Day we start looking for an answer to the question that why do we celebrate Republic Day? The answer is on this day our Constitution came into act.

The other question arises, what is the Constitution?

It is legal sanction of the principles by which the country is organized. A preamble is the soul of any constitution and so is ours. Our preamble states that – We the people of India having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a sovereign socialist, secular and democratic republic and to secure all its citizens justices, liberty, equality and fraternity. From this preamble we can get clearly an idea that how the drafting committee though of the people. This committee consisted of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarojni Naidu and 295 other personalities.

Now you would be thinking how are we benefited from the constitution?

So let me throw light to the fact that it has given us the Fundamental Rights and duties by which we are leading a harmonious life. Thus, without a constitution a country is like a body without a soul. I end my speech by paying tribute to those great visionaries who have shaped our democratic India.

Report: Huge number of Indian youth remain unemployable..!!

IANS, On Sunday 26 December 2010

Rapid economic growth in the country is expected to generate 10-15 million jobs by next year but lack of suitable skilled candidates poses a major threat, a leading industry lobby said Sunday.

'Approximately 10 to 15 million jobs are expected to be created by next year, in which 75 percent will require vocational training. If not addressed properly it can lead to a slowdown in the country's economic growth,' said a report by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).

According to the report, the principal reason behind India's growth is its youth force, the largest in the world. However, millions of young Indians are jobless because they do not receive proper vocational training.
'The huge numbers of Indian youth are not only unemployed but unemployable, whereas large numbers of white collar jobs are waiting for suitable candidates,' the report said.

It further said that though 90 percent of jobs in sectors like information technology (IT) and IT Enabled Services (ITES), biotechnology and the services sector are skill-based and require training, only six percent of the total workforce receive such training.

The report also predicted that 2011 will be a boom year for the IT & ITES sector, accompanied by a corresponding rise in salaries.

'The year 2011 is likely to be a boom for skilled workers in IT & ITES, biotechnology and services sectors. As against the 15 percent hike in salaries in 2010, it is expected to be registering 30 to 40 percent growth,' Assocham secretary general D.S. Rawat said.

Currently, IT and ITES industry alone provides direct employment to about 2.23 million people and indirect employment to a further eight million.
The report added that this sector in particular will experience a shortage of skilled manpower.

'The employers are trying to catch the highly skilled manpower and the salaries are going through the roof. It is expected that the salaries in this sector will be growing at a par of 30-40 percent during the year 2011,' the Assocham report added.
