Competition With Yourself - Reveda Bhatt

Competition leads to progress. No one doubts it. But is it with your peers?

No, it is not.

This is because each day, you need to become a better version of no one but yourself. Everything you do is to fight against the 'you' of yesterday and become a better version today. Everyone is at a war of survival -well, even against others but mainly against yourself - but for progress, we need to believe that we are not perfect but capable enough to become better.

Know that from the minute you were born, you are put up on a boat across a vast ocean-people might help you get on it at the start, but it is you who has to paddle across, facing every tide and making sure you do not sink until the end of it!

BE IMPERFECTLY PERFECT!

The Stuff Toy To The Heart - Reveda Bhatt

Understanding someone, one's problems or just giving them a platform to open up fully is sometimes all one needs to get better. For that, what is needed is a mutual relationship where both people are fully committed to helping each other solve their problems because if one's just a bagpipe, then even if they get what you say, anything you share with them is just not safe. 

Understanding is an excellent virtue because that's when someone lends you their ears to make you feel better. It's not like they give you a rebuttal for what you say, but they agree to whatever you say and then help you look for a solution. Now, isn't that what a true friend does!?

Everyone has a right to be understood because it is essential to know how others look at the world from. To be good at understanding, what we need to give up on is contradicting. Otherwise, then it just feels like a debate, way more hectic for the person who needs, in fact, "wants" to be understood.

Like warmth to the cold, comfort to the hurt, clouds to the sky, stuff toy to the sad, does understanding work as an aid to a cut deep into trust.

Then, the aim, which is the main, is that you need to keep all that to yourself and not go on sharing the person's views with others. Only then would you be able to become a good human being, a true one, true to yourself!

My first day at School - Smarika Karki

My first day at school was good even though it was a girls' school. I had a wonderful day there. 

The teachers are good, and the friends are supportive over there. Though I miss my old school, I enjoy my new school also. I thought the girls over there would be bullying me, but it turned out to be the opposite of that. 

I like my new school.
