Carpe Dime All Days Forward

 I was teaching in school. On Saturday, children have  co-curricular activity class. I have requested Mr Nandi to advise students about the best way to carry oneself in life.


His submissions were as follows


Get to know yourself.


Keep calm and carry on. Never talk too much.


Interact with everyone EQUALLY.Do not show that you are sad and not happy.


There is no substitute for hard work.


Don't repeat same mistakes in life.


Be strong and assertive.


I am a science teacher at my school. To give my student a flavor of experience in the science lab, I wrote a small poem, "carpe diem all days forward," and pasted it on the notice board of the school. The same I am listing below for my respected readers.


 Carpe diem, all days forward


My dear friends, when I was 18 years old,


What seems to me just and right,


Sometimes I found it was not right,


With people around me, I was #disagreeing annoyingly,


But I listened, argued and #debated with them respectfully,


In the process, the opinions I had often changed,


And my views about the world also #drastically changed.


 


Into a specific identity I   was #pigeonholed,


Sometimes I found myself surrounded,


By people with perspective - thoughts of #diversity,


Sometimes I found myself surrounded,


By people who look, pray and vote differently,


I #embraced them and their views I respected,


In the process, I found I attained #unique identity.


 


My young  friends, the world is yours,


Clean and feed it, grow and #nurture,


Own it and make it yours,


Fill it with songs of #togetherness,


With smiles and hugs,


And #preserve it for your children and future.


 


Just get up, dress up and show up the world,


That is the same air we breathe all,


The same soil we walk all,


To be happy in life, we want it all.


Seize the day of happiness! My dear young friends,


And #carpe diem all days forward, my dear young friends
