What Jai Hind means to me -Vaibhav Jaiswal

We learned today that willpower is essential, which gives us something to fight with in every situation.

We learned about passion through education, which makes our lives interesting, wonderful, and joyous.

Once, Ratan Tata said Collect the stones that people throw at you and use them to build a monument.

Gratitude - Mridul Maheshwari

Gratitude has always helped everyone to keep a healthy perspective.

Today, we interacted with Mr Vineet KKN "Panchhi", who told us to do whatever our heart says and never leave our childhood.

Ratan Tata once said, " If you want to walk fast, then walk alone and if you're going to walk far, then walk together.

Jai Hind - Aradhy Mohan Jalan

I learned how The Jai Hind Project is essential for India from the conversation between Vineet KKN sir and Mas. Yashraj Sharma. I knew we lived in a bubble; our parents protected us, and we had to solve it. For every solution, first, we need to put up a question, then we need to talk about that, and then we can get clarity on our doubts.

Education is the most powerful weapon -Tenzin Jambey

Education means to learn and to teach, and learning and teaching are present everywhere around us. Reading a book and knowing how to write doesn't make a man a learned man. Through education, we get connected with other people. We know how to speak, write, and think because education helps us develop ourselves. 

Because of education, we humans found the medicine for various diseases and solutions to many questions. We know about Earth, planets, and the universe because humans have taught themselves to find the solution to everything that happens. We know that in the world, different types of people live with their own beliefs and customs, which makes it challenging to connect with them. There are still some wars and flights occurring between the human race. Some people are being exploited, and some people are busy destroying nature.
 
Through education, we can overcome all types of problems and conflicts. Education helps us connect and communicate with others, and mutual understanding is essential to prevent conflict. Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world and improve anyone's future.

Our most powerful weapon: BOOKS - Nishan Karki

Why is education important?

"It wasn't until I started reading and found books they wouldn't let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else." John Waters

Our most potent weapon is books and, more precisely, education. The book is vital in people's lives, including teachers, students, businessmen, workers, and all the others. It serves as a medium for acquiring knowledge and gathering information.

Like me, there are numerous students all around the world who use books. The use of the Internet for gaining knowledge and information has increased, yet books have retained their trend and popularity among the masses.

"If you do not have any friends, make books your friends." In fact, you can make books with your best friends.

Why is education important?

Education must be taken by every person. It is vital for the holistic development of every human being and for improving people's quality of life. An educated person can become a good citizen of society. It's also necessary to decide your career.

The rapid rise in population and pollution is because people are uneducated.

Let's take the example of India. India has been facing the problems of pollution and population growth since it attained independence. Many people in India still need to be educated. People may be literate, i.e., able to read and write, but need to be educated.

Educated people can bring the most effective change to society. Although the problem of population growth might not be wholly diminished, it can be reduced to a great extent. So education is vital for the development of every country in the world.

My Experiments with Self-Awareness - Anvesha Rana

From daily news to new trends, the weather forecast to the match score, we know so many things just because they are happening around us; we love to be up to date. However, amidst gathering this information, we get so distracted that we must remember to collect ourselves or ask ourselves what is happening within us? 

Self-awareness is to know, share, ask, or be aware of oneself. Strangely, the person we have been since time immemorial is also the person we know the least about; most of the time, other people know more about us than we do about ourselves! Yes, and as an exercise, ask your friends about what you like; I am sure they will get it right. 

So, self-awareness is vital as you need to know who you are and be clear about what you like or dislike. Self-awareness is a gradual process, though it is believed to be an innate ability that vanishes growing up. Thus, we need to constantly experiment to regain ours. 

Whenever we get lost in a discussion, we should ask ourselves, is this really important? Would I like to be a part of this? Moreover, we must decide about numerous things daily and sometimes need help with choices. Consequently, we should learn to recognise and observe our choices and decipher the pattern. This code or pattern is our approach to problem-solving that sums up the kind of person we are. 

To be more self-aware, we should spend time alone with our thoughts in our head; it’s good to head out, but sometimes, to seek answers to deep questions, it’s okay to run in. Being the observer of our lives also means observing or influencing our thoughts. Being the observer is being in the position of power, i.e. we are not guided by the current flow in the ocean, but we decide where the current shall flow. It may be difficult initially, but once we start to love our own company, that is the self-awareness threshold.
