I was a science teacher in a Government school. I observed that some of my students have a naturally happy nature. They were cheerful most of the time. Their pleasant personalities made it easier for them to be happy and enjoy life. I also noticed there were students in my class with a personality that's on the grumpy side. They would see faults in people like friends or teachers and situations instead of the good. Their mood is grumpy more often than it's cheerful. They had difficult emotions. As a teacher I always tried to carry out some activity in my classroom teaching to give my students (cheerful, grumpy) a happy learning experience. We know that our body and our emotions can work in tandem; therefore, while doing classroom teaching, I will always try to encourage my students to make a collage of all the diagrams that I taught in the last lecture. I named this activity making educational collages.
Many students liked this activity and always used to bring those collages to school. As and when time permits, I will paste those collages outside my lab. This activity of making educational collage made my work a little simpler and easier to “hack” my students' mood, who were grumpy, to a joyful mood. I was so happy that all my students started feeling more joyful daily

To make my lesson more effective, I often do science arts writing to train young minds. In my co-curricular activity time, the topic for debate was how to lead the best possible scientific life. Students wrote very interesting answers. Some students were confused if they could have better materialistic things available to them, they would have led a better full life.
I tried my best to make my students understand that all #materialistic things which we possess cannot be equated to a good life. They are means to lead life. It all depends on whatever resources one is provided with, how one uses them in the best possible way to lead a full, happy, scientific life.
MORAL OF THE STORY- Happiest, fullest scientific life is the feeling of truly enjoying one's life while doing a science experiment, #interpreting results and reporting them in the best possible way.
To make my students understand what full life is, and how to lead the fullest scientific life, I wrote a poem” Fullest Scientific Life” and pasted it on the notice board of the school. The same poem I am listing below same for my esteemed readers
Fullest Scientific Life
Scientific Life is such a wide umbrella,
How to get my fullest scientific life,
I ask this question many times,
To my beloved soul.
With a test tube in my hand,
I was in my lab chemistry,
I realized, to lead the fullest scientific life,
I must concentrate on carrying out,
My experiment systematically with aptitude scientific,
Not on an experimental quality apparatus,
As Lab ia not just a room ,
It is for mind scientific ,
Why so asked my soul.
Carrying out a science experiment
sincerely in a lab,
Highly equipped lab is like a job,
Money, position in life, but not life.
They are means to lead a scientific life.
Most affluent, knowledgeable scientist are not people,
Who have every experimental equipment in their lab?
Most affluent knowledgeable are scientists and researchers,
Those who utilize their lab and country resources,
In the best possible way to carry out science,
experiment in the lab, and remain happy.
This understanding #spontaneous,
Made crystal clear all my doubts,
We lost all our false fears of scientific life,
My soul stopped asking
And started doing work scientific
And gained new directions on how to,
Lead my happiest fullest scientific life.
