Reflections Sunbeam School & Hostel Lahartara

Sunday School 10th December 2023

"The purpose of life is to live it, to take the experience to the end."

Without a purpose, our lives feel meaningless. Finding our purpose takes time and requires a lot of wondering. Everything that might seem like mindless investing until you find your passion.

"Retirement," ending all work for a certain period, is a relatively new concept. We may retire from a career or a job, but we should never retire from meaningful contributions. Life means more when we respond to work that is meaningful to us and to others. The older we become, the more we have shaped the environment for our usage. Looking back, you will discover that many great men and women in history never cut back simply because of their age. Success would be a natural outcome when we pursue excellence and feel far more fulfilled in every endeavour.

 

-Anmol Kashyap VIII B 

"Professional learning is not a function of age; it's a function of attitude". 
My perspective from the Sunday School is that people who adopt the attitude that they can learn to show heightened levels of brain activity compared to those who believe their mental acuity is fixed. A room without a book is like a book without a soul.

Passion & Longevity

The fire of the soul should always stay strong to maintain longevity. It is essential for us. A famous person once said, "Retirement is a curse for humankind." Retirement lowers your critical thinking skills if a person can do something he must. Every person has something special inside them. Even if the person is retired, he should start doing something different. For something, we just have to resurrect it. As Oscar Wild quotes, "Be yourself, everyone else. Is already taken.".          

Shaurya Chaturvedi  VIII B

To sustain longevity, we have to evolve into something constructive. We should enrich our souls with the music of life by reaching and touching people on a human level. Age is only a number; we can go on and on beyond 80 years.                                                          

Lalita Agarwal (VIII-B)

1. "To me, retirement is death! I have no idea why people retire." The beautiful meaning of this quote is that when people retire, they think that their work of this life is done. Still, they need to know that if they retire from a particular post or any job, they need to engage themselves in some new work; otherwise, if they stay at home, it may be hazardous for them and cause various diseases.

2. "If I had two loaves of bread, I would sell one and buy hyacinths to feed my soul to contribute to our well-being & happiness." This beautiful quote was written by our Former Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. By this quote, she was trying to make us feel the value of hyacinths. She was trying to tell us that if she had two pieces of anything to eat, she would eat one, sell one, and buy hyacinths as she felt that its beautiful smell and incredible beauty would be enough to feed our souls.

3. Well-being can control being well. 

4. "Be true to yourself and make each day your masterpiece! Help others. Build a shatter against a rainy day. Pray for guidance, and thank you for being blessed every day.                                                                

Meditation and Mindset - Vaibhav Jaiswal

MEDITATION
Meditation is the way to make your life peaceful and strong. Leading with solid thinking helps you to strengthen your self-awareness. Meditation helps to reduce stress, increase your imagination and creativity, build your skills, and develop your abilities. The word meditation comes from the Latin meditatum, meaning to "concentrate" or "ponder." Monk Guigo II introduced this terminology for the first time in the 12th century AD.

MINDSET

When one changes one mindset, then only he or she can change his life. The beautiful meaning of this thought is that unhappy, frustrated people are unimportant and of little value. They feel frustrated and unworthy. They thought I was not good enough, so they lashed out at the world and engaged in behaviours that hurt themselves and others. They don't realize that they could be a prince or princes.

The key to language is to learn every aspect of music that we can - Pallavi Kumari

.

Reading is most important.

The key to language is learning every aspect of music we can. We should enjoy our present and make our future better. In our daily lives, we need to invest in sharpening our skills to get going with our well-being. You spend a little time learning what living in someone else's shoes is like. I don't like reading books, but when I started joining good schools, I thought it would be interesting to read a book. 

Books are like people in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them, and books are like mirrors; you only see in them what you already have inside you. If you dislike reading, you have yet to find the right book. I read a book one day, and my whole life was changed. Books are uniquely portable magic. TODAY, A READER, TOMORROW, A LEADER. A room without a book is like a book without a soul. A book is a gift you can open again and again.
