The Art of Storytelling - Rishona Chopra

Storytelling ain't something everybody can do,

You need some content and rhythm too!

A little music with some effects,

Everything should be set and perfectly correct.

Just add some feelings,

The story could be lovely, so it works like healing!

Just add some voice modulation and thought,

So it stays in people's minds as if it was taught.

The story could have a moral,

Or a quarrel.

All you need to do is hook the audience,

By being a little more patient!

Like in a movie theatre where people feel the water splash,

Hook them with your words, so they clap with a clash.

Make people feel like they were in the story

Make them feel all happy with glory.

The fundamental trick is just to feel the theme,

And the story will come out like a beautiful dream!

Along with storytelling, we need to be good listeners too,

We need to understand the story and try our best to reflect too.

If you know how to tell a story,

Make one yourself and tell me the story quickly!

Honesty - Aryan Sirvi

Aryan Sirvi

Honesty means being truthful, i.e., developing a practice of speaking truth throughout life. A person who practices honesty in life possesses a strong moral character. An honest person shows good behaviour, follows the rules, maintains discipline, and speaks the truth. Lying, cheating, lack of trust, steal, and greed have no space in honesty. Honesty is the most important value in life. We need to be honest with others as well as we should be honest with ourselves.

There are also famous quotes by famous personalities as 'Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom'. It holds good due to its ability to build, shape, and motivates integral respect in one's life. A person with honesty is respected by all. To build a character of honesty depends on his/her family values, ethics, and his/her surrounding and environment. Parents showing honest behaviour in front of their children also impacts the children as we say that 'Honesty lies in the genes'. 

An honest person is always known for his honesty, just like a sun is known for its eternal light and ultimate energy. Dishonest people may easily get people's trust, but this doesn't last too long when they are caught. Being dishonest is a sin in all religions, but people often practice it for short-time benefits. They never become morally strong, and their life becomes miserable. We should be honest in life as it is a must needed quality in one's life.
