Trees - Pranvi Chandra
Trees are there every day,
And under them, you can play.
Their leaves can be green,
And trees are never mean.
Please let them stay,
So just don't fray.
Keep them clean,
Don't let them lean.
Let them thrive,
And they will keep you alive.

There is no age for learning - Vaibhav Jaiswal
‘There is no age for learning’
Learning is a continuous process, and a true learner always seeks avenues to learn from anybody and everybody. Education has become crucial for all human beings. Everyone desires to receive the best education because life has no age, but learning has no end. Learning is beneficial for individuals regardless of their age. While all else may crumble, the knowledge acquired through education endures until one's passing. Individuals without formal education are now embarking on the journey of acquiring knowledge.
Learning is not only about gaining formal education; it means understanding society, people, and many other things. Therefore, we can say that learning has no end.
The notion that education is valuable at any age and that it transcends the limits of time is a powerful one. Learning extends beyond academic settings; it encompasses understanding society, people, and various aspects of life. This broader perspective on learning highlights its endless nature.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

Japan's explains how it made an upside-down moon landing
Japan became the fifth nation to land on the moon on Saturday, but its spacecraft ended up in an awkward and rather embarrassing position, with its engine nozzle pointed up toward space. By design, the Japanese spacecraft, known as Smart Lander for Investigating Moon or SLIM, was supposed to land on its side to avoid it tipping over on the sloping surface of the moon's landing site. "But, about 150 feet above the landing spot, one of SLIM's two engines appears to have failed", said officials at JAXA, the Japanese space agency.
Ingenuity, NASA's helicopter flying over Mars, ends its mission
The robot flew over 72 times, aiding the Perseverance rover in search of evidence that there was once life on the red planet. At least one rotor (robotic motor) broke down during the machine's most recent flight, last week, announced NASA officials on Thursday. But, Ingenuity is still in contact with its companion, the Perseverance rover, which has been exploring and excavating a dried-up river bed in search of 'extinct' Martian life. Sadly, Ingenuity will be left behind.
NASA's Perseverance rover confirms the presence of an ancient dried-up lake, that may hold clues for past life on the red planet
Evidence of ancient lake sediments was found at the base of Mars' Jerezo crater to give new hopes of finding traces of life in the samples collected by the Perseverance rover. The rover touched down on the crater on Feb. 18, 2021. Since, then, it has been on a continuous search for samples of extinct life on Mars.

Myths Of Retirement - Rishona Chopra
PC-diywarads.com |
Often people get rather upset, bored, and sad during retirement and invite problems for themselves and you can't blame them! They have been through a lot of changes in their life and change has never been easy to deal with.
Most people need a change of perspective and that's why it's important to know a few myths of retirement that may change one's perspective about it.
1st Myth: Retirement means the End of Work
Of course not! There is no age barrier to work! In fact, it's the perfect time to try out new things and explore your areas of interest! Create a new passion for yourself! And even if you don't find work to do instantly, it's always good to take a little rest. Relaxation may help you more and after years of work, you do deserve some!
2nd Myth: New Career Ambitions are for Young People
Nearly three out of five retirees launch into a new line of work after retirement! It's not because they need money but to stay mentally and physically active and more importantly do something they want to do. Age can never be a barrier and nothing else can if what you're doing is your true passion!
And something that happens after retirement is that you can just do things for yourself. Yes, we always feel the need to show others what we did but that's when we are free to do anything for our own happiness.
3rd Myth: Retirement Is A Time Of Decline
Well yes, you're growing old and ageing but you've still got a life to spend so live life happily and do things you never could. Yes indeed, you are approaching the end soon but this is the time to turn to spirituality if you already haven't. To actually regain yourself and know your true purpose. Not only will it help one embrace the "dreadful" time of death but also feel happy knowing that you have lived your life in crescendo. In a way, it's actually a sign that you need to do all the things in your life that you never did, relax and most importantly cherish these times!
Retirement is a phase of life like any other and it's a beautiful phase. A unique one.

Creating Opportunity For Yourself - Divyanshu Agrawal
You should pay attention when something is happening or when someone is teaching. You should be disciplined in your work and come out of your comfort zone.
Always be in the habit of reading and be an ardent reader. Do not be afraid to make mistakes.

The Importance of Good Health - Ankit Raj
"Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”
This means that health is a resource to support an individual's function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.

Sylvan Reverie: A Soul’s Unveiling
Which was full of green,
With the colossal trees-
They were so tall they couldn’t be seen.
With animals so enigmatic,
The mist was so dramatic.
I came across a forest-
Where lay the river’s poetic grace.
I saw a reflection that seemed honest,
The reflection told me what was seen but unknown,
Heard but ignored.
I came across a forest-
Where the water showed me a reflection true,
A tale untold that became a mystery to pursue.
The one I saw in the reflection-
Was it me or a girl in the past?
At thirteen, a memory that couldn’t last.
I came across a forest-
It was just another forest,
But it was the place where I found myself.
I came across a forest,
But the forest was just my dream.

The Art Of Living - Nishan Karki
- William Shakespeare
● Health
The first and foremost thing needed to secure a long life is health. To be healthy, we need to eat good food, exercise, listen to good music, think positively, maintain a healthy circle of friends, visit the hospital at regular intervals, etc. We should not excessively indulge in any alcoholic beverages, tobacco, cigarettes, etc. These things affect our health and decrease our lifespan. Health is definitely wealth and a healthy mind lives in a healthy body.
● Environment
Our environment greatly affects our lifespan. People who are exposed to healthy, clean and peaceful environments tend to live longer and vice-versa. A healthy and clean environment, free from all kinds of pollution, diseases, etc., increases and maintains our life expectancy rate.
● Style of Living
People have different styles of living. Rich people live a luxurious life, middle-class people live a normal life and poor people face difficulties in living a life. People who have too much as well as people who have too little live comparatively short lives. People with adequate means of livelihood live longer. "Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.”
● Mindset
People have different ways of thinking and mindset. There are many people who want to live a long life and some want to end life. If people have the mindset that they want to secure a long life, they will work hard to achieve their goals. People who want to end life will give up.
Living a long life is not the correct way. The correct way is to live a long and happy life, make a change and do good things for the people and the world before our life ends. If we do this, people will always remember us even after our death; our lives will also be worth living.

"Oneness" to Me: Tenzin Chonzom
Once Guru Nanak said, "God is neither Hindu nor Muslim”. He emphasized that there is only One God who has created the entire universe, including human beings. According to me oneness means unity of thought, feeling, belief, aim, etc.; a strong feeling of closeness and union.
Oneness is a usual attitude towards life, and it's the belief that everything is connected in the natural world.

Letter to Amardeep Singh co-creator of Allegory - A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels
We at My Good School are forever grateful for the bundle of knowledge that you have given us. The Guru Nanak docuseries carries priceless learnings and intriguing stories to tell that we will carry in our hearts forever.
We now watch one episode of the docuseries in our Sunday sessions monthly. They have indeed made our sessions much more unique and brighter than ever!We have celebrated the first session of 2024 with the first episode of the Guru Nanak docuseries. Each episode has remarkable stories, and we unfold extraordinary monthly messages for reflection.
Learning about Guru Nanak’s selfless, humble and kind personality has warmed our hearts and, in fact, shows us the aim and purpose of one’s life. To do good.
This docuseries is the perfect start to 2024! With each episode, we carry something with us, and those learnings are the ones that will help us throughout our lives.
I only knew a little about Guru Nanak Ji and his life, and learning more about him has yet to appeal to me. But seeing the episodes you make has not only developed my interest but also made me more eager to learn more about him and his travels.
On behalf of our school, I thank you for creating a meaningful documentary series that makes our day more meaningful and worthwhile.
Without you and your team, we wouldn’t have access to this knowledge in such an easy and straightforward way.
Thank you so much for all you do!
Warm Regards,

Classics or present-day creations? - Rishona Chopra
Graphic by Rishona Chopra
That is one of the biggest debates today. Both of them are unique in their own way but I believe that there is something special about classics and oldies. As intriguing and modern the latest creations are, oldies seem to bring family together. As a millennial of Gen Z, I usually watch/listen to the latest creations but watching classics is a refreshment for the mind. It reminds one of the time when things were simpler and life was less hectic.
The past can be a great source of inspiration and old music is a wonderful way to access it. Moreover, old music has stood the test of time. It has been around for decades and even centuries and it popularity is a testament of how great it is. Yes, there are changes in the world but that doesn't mean we forget the past and the old. Old is NOT gold. It's vital to accept and look at latest creations too but immediate dislike for the classics isn't great either.
Labeling classics as "boring" is completely one's choice but often we just neglect it directly without even taking a look at oldies. The most popular songs today are in fact remixes of earlier classics. Popular artists have taken inspiration from several classics such as "These are a few of my favourite things" , "Do re mi fa so la ti" and literature pieces like "The Great Gatsby".
One of my favorite classics is definitely Mary Poppins. I honestly haven't watched that many classics but 1964 Mary Poppins tops for me. It is a fictional story but it indeed has a lot to teach. First of all, it teaches us to live life. Life is a gift and even despite the tough and rough times, it's always good to keep a positive attitude in life. It also teaches us to be kind and not judge people. Mary Poppins did receive a little opposition from the children's father but that didn't bring her down because she was confident and did what was right. One of my favourite parts about it is the unique use of words. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is that word that brings a smile to my face when I say it. For me, it carries a cheerful vibe all together.
As interesting and full of mystery and excitement the new creations are, I don't believe that they carry some meaningful lessons with them but of course if we are young teenagers who are combating other evil people and plan on saving the world then sure they do have some advice.
To conclude, I would say that its good to sometimes look back and see some interesting and appealing classics like "Mary Poppins" or "Sound Of Music". Their simple stories stirred with a drop of magic are heart warming.

Importance of Mathematics in our life- Nishan Karki
We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
— Katherine Johnson
Mathematics is one of the subjects that we study in school. It is crucial in every field and career of work. It is followed by many professions. It is important for everyone to learn Basic mathematics.
People buy different things from shops and supermarkets, and if they do not know how to calculate the amount of money spent, they may suffer financial loss. People get exploited if they do not know how to read and calculate the prices of products.
Basic maths is important here. People must know basic maths so that they do not get exploited or suffer loss, while purchasing things.
It is not convenient to carry a calculater when we go to buy things. In business firms, mathematics becomes crucial for the people who control finance and accounting module. Even a small change in numbers or symbols can cause a major problem. Experts in mathematics, along with commercial experts, can handle this job
Mathematics also helps to improve our analytical and logical thinking skills. It helps us to solve problems easily.

Reflections for 2023 - Tenzin Jambey

2023 and all it had to give - Rishona Chopra
The start of the year was rather bumpy. It started with annual exams which weren't the best so that was a letdown for me. But then the fact that I was going to another higher grade made me quite cheerful and excited. I must say, the new semester was a fresh start. It allowed me to improve from my past mistakes and learn from them.
The first day of school was a new door. It was the day when I met a lot of new people. New students and teachers too. I did have some negative perceptions about a few people but now that I think about it those perceptions have changed drastically. I suppose you can't assume things without knowing someone first!
Then there were exams. I had mathematical formulas, equations and a ton of nervousness rushing through my mind but we did make it through the exams too.
I can't go on about 2023 without mentioning my journey with My Good School. It was a fantastic year! From Meet and Greets with several authors and entrepreneurs, I not only expanded my collection of books but also expanded my learning by miles. Each Sunday session was valuable and priceless. There was something new to take away each time.
Another highlight of the year was My Guide Inside. The sessions I did with Ms. Christa Campsall were invaluable and being able to conduct similar sessions with younger grades was the icing on the cake. MGI has been a huge part of 2023 and it's all thanks to the mentors who work hard to give us this meaningful bundle of learning and joy.
My most trustworthy and silent companion was with me throughout this journey; That companion is a book. Books were a crucial part of 2023. I explored new genres and read some amazing books that are indeed no less than a treasure. I dived into the world of polar bears and dogs and some very touching stories of families. Books just take me to another world and make the year more memorable.
I wouldn't have made it through the year without my family. They are the ones I do have disagreements with but also the ones most dear to me. I believe sometimes we take the gift of family for granted but it's important to realize that having parents to hold on to is a blessing. It's perhaps the greatest gift in the world and they are what made my year better than ever.
There were a lot of highlights of 2023 and these are just a few of them. There were a lot of times in the year when my behaviour was rather negative and I will try to improve upon it. Of course, you can't permanently remove negative feelings from your life but it is vital to work towards positivity.

Get to know more about Mr. Shivpreet Singh - Saikiran Sahu
We are delighted to announce that Mr. Shivpreet Singh will join us at My Good School in 2024. We are honoured to have him with us, and we would love to embark on a spiritual journey of finding Oneness together.

Over 25 million minutes of Mr. Shivpreet Singh's videos are viewed annually by audiences worldwide.
Born in Kathmandu, Nepal, in March 1975. He has been trained in Indian classical music since the age of 5. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a major in Biochemistry and a minor in music in 1996.

He continues researching Indian Classical Music Ragas and is a famous niche blogger on Ragas. The melodic variant components of his music rely primarily on his significant vast knowledge about conveying specific emotion through melody cascading particular ragas.
His famous projects include the DhunAnand Foundation, Bhagat Sant Namdev, and Guru Nanak.

Future Generation & The Present - Nishan Karki
When we talk about the future generation, do we also need to work on the present altogether?
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” - Buddha
We spend a lot of time thinking about our future generation. However, we also need to think about and work on our present side by side. Working on present needs is crucial for the betterment of our future generations. The future of our generation depends greatly on our present deeds. Our present paves the way for our future and that of our generation.
To make our generation's future better, we need to tackle the present problems. Our earth is facing many environmental problems such as climate change, increasing global warming, depletion of various resources, pollution, etc. Unless we tackle our present issues, we will not be able to improve the future of our upcoming generations.
For instance, if people are very poor, they will not be able to provide a better lifestyle for future generations. Before thinking about the future, they should work on their present needs. They must at least have the basic means of livelihood. If they remain poor and do not work to improve their present conditions, their future generation will have to suffer.
Creating a peaceful society is very important for our future generation; Creating a society that values people and their sentiments, fosters the development of a peaceful society. People living in a society must have mutual co-operation, respect sympathy, trust, kindness and compassion for each other.
If our thoughts and actions are positive, our future generation will also be the same. It is important to ensure that our generation thinks positively and does things positively. No one wants their generation to do wrong things. People have a strong faith that their future generation will be a good and peaceful one. We should work to create a clean environment (focusing both on the ecosystem and positive thoughts/ actions) for our future generations.
