Ipshita Rathore - My School, My Happy Place

My Good School

'FABINDIA' was not a school to start with. It is a famous textiles brand known the world over. But its owner Mr William Bissell decided to serve the local artisans' community and return to his motherland. With this noble thought, he initiated the establishment of The Fabindia School - the first English Medium School in the whole Bali region. The dream team of our board members played a major part. It has been 28 years since its establishment, and we are growing with new learning experiences every day. 

We have been a part of many programs such as the My Good School program (MGS), Learning Forward Program, Exchange Programs, IIMUNs, and many more. All these programs added more value to our education. We have become more interactive, collaborative, and most importantly, grown into responsible citizens through these programs. Our school has fulfilled the primary goal of education: "Education is not limited to textbooks but refers to the overall development of a child". It's been a wonderful journey and continues with more enthusiasm and curiosity to learn every aspect of life.

Happiness - Linisha Agarwal

What happiness means to me?

Not everyone has a similar point of interest from which they derive happiness.  For me, happiness means fun, enjoyment, blissfulness etc. Happiness is a feeling of contentment, that life is just as it should be.

Happiness is when you fulfil your goals or aims. That feeling to me is happiness. When I am thrilled, I feel that I am IN SEVENTH HEAVEN.

What gives me happiness?
I feel like having a whale of a time when my brother teases me, it is too much fun to ride a roller-coaster or other kinds of dangerous slides, and when I spend time somewhere out of town with my family, it makes me feel like I am on the top of the world. Cycling when a light wind blows along with some music surely refreshes my mood, so you can say that I am happy at that time. And last but not least, Playing PS4 with my brother is fun.

How can we make a person happy? 

Frequently, cities tell you to donate to charities rather than giving to panhandlers. That is great advice but listen to your inner voice. You should give to a particular person, as this may make someone who is genuinely in need very happy. We can spread happiness by saying ‘Thanks’; by donating items to needy ones; gifting presents because everyone loves presents; listening to people when they talk, so many times all people want is someone to listen to them. Instead of fighting it, just sit and let them talk. Caring for someone is the best way to make others happy, and in turn, I, too feel happy.

Patience - Maheshpal singh

Patience is more of a skill that can be learned and needs constant nurturing. It is the state of being that occurs between experience and reaction. Whether you’re trying to be patient with yourself, others, or life, it seems to always involve the experience of dealing with delays or obstacles. By cultivating a practice of patience, you’re able to let go of things outside your control and live with less stress, anxiety, and frustration.

Patience is considered to be highly crucial for every individual in the world. Besides, it is also stated that the people who can wait long achieve better things than those with no patience since it is impossible to acquire success in a single day.

Through patience, an individual learns about the importance of effort and hard work and not only success. It is false to believe that everything, including happiness, can be obtained only through accomplishments. When you look at what it means to have patience, you’re ultimately talking about dealing with your thoughts and emotions. As a spiritual being, there is an unbounded, limitless presence within you that is constantly seeking expression.
