I was teaching science in school. I had a friend, Puja. She was a dance teacher at my school. I, Puja, and I were neighbors. I got a chance to interact with Puja at home, also. Puja had many positive points in her personality. For the festival celebration of Diwali, Navratri, she will make a group of students learn dance at school. Same exercise Puja will repeat in her neighborhood at home. There was no decrease in her energy levels, whether at home or at school.
Because of Puja's good, unique quality that she puts all her efforts and energy to make children learn state-of-the-art dance in is school or home environment, Puja became my inspiration. I will request Puja to take some rest for a while. But she will not do so. Dance was my friend Puja's passion. Hence, to make children learn good quality dance, Puja will do anything. I was so impressed by her.
I learned the following good habits from my dear friend Puja. The same I am listing them below. Puja used to tell me the following good things, which I am listing below.
Don't be a taker, be a giver. Don't be a burden, be a blessing.
Don't be a problem, be a solution. Don't be selfish, be selfless
Don't be destructive, be constructive. Don't be negative, be positive.
Don't be indifferent, be compassionate. Don't be hateful, be loving.
Taking inspiration from Puja, I also used to float small science projects for my students at school. That activity of students made my classroom full of energy. Those wonderful experiences of teaching science through experiment inspired me to do science art writing to make students learn difficult science concepts.
Some of my science arts writings are available in my book-science of Life and Nature Photo Poetry Collection, available on Amazon.

Moral of the Story-Whether it's your student, neighbor, girlfriend, friends or anyone else, always try to do such an act of kindness that when you leave them, they should be in better shape compared to before you arrived in their life. This is one of the most noble and generous things you can do for anyone you encounter in life.
