1.
Wake up
with a smile : Thank God for this
beautiful human life. Count on all your blessings and start the day with a
smile. Be conscious of your 'self',
that is be aware of your strength, talent, abilities, opportunities and
resources.
2.
Dream
well : Dreams, dreams, dreams. Dreams transform into thoughts. Thoughts
result into actions. ( Courtesy Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam)
3.
Maintain
a visual notice board: List out all your difficulties, weakness and
problems on the left. Seek guidance to resolve them. Remember to tackle one at
a time.
4.
Greet
your parents and teachers early in the morning with a sweet smile: Fold
your hands together, close your eyes and bow to them or wish them from the
depths of your heart.
5.
Share
your food: At home share food with siblings and mates. At school be sure to
share with your classmates. During play and at camps share with your play
mates...
6.
Keep your
surroundings clean: Cleanliness is next only to godliness. Always be
organized. At home or at school use things carefully and replace them in proper
places. Let it be your books, clothes, slippers, bags, umbrella or even
utensils. (time is quite precious; this saves for ample quality time together)
7.
Wash your lunch box: Always wash your
vessels, before and after food. Take enough drinking water. Try to set the
table if you can. Even at school or at work, make it a habit to wash your
vessels.
8.
Talk to
your mother: To err is human. We have a crisis when we realize something
has gone wrong. It puts us into confusion, it spoils our mood and diminishes
our enthusiasm. These are situations that one has to seek support for
confession, healing and relief. Mamma's lap is the best refuge.
9.
Surprise
elders: Show your respect and remembrance by spontaneous obedience and good
conduct. Celebrate their achievements. Profusely thank them for their care and
guidance.
10.
Prepare a
balance sheet every day: Before you go to sleep recollect all you
experiences and interactions every day. Is there anything to be done or said in
a different manner? If so make sure to correct it the next morning itself. Live
as if you are going to die just now and make sure you reserve a seat in
paradise.(courtesy: Sr.Shivani)
11. Volunteer: Always find time to do
something good for others. Recycle and donate. Be generous in appreciating others.
It enhances your self esteem.
12.
Discipline
pays: Follow rules and laws. At times, it would create some difficulty,
still stick to them. Short cuts cause havoc. (courtesy: Malayalam Movie: Philips and the Monkeypen)
Team work always pays.
Smart work is better than hard work.
GOD is nothing but LOVE... Its taste is sweet...
Children are God's gift, love them to tap their creativity and intelligence...to mould them successfully...
