My student Rekha was # scientist in a national lab. Somehow, she was not able to appreciate her working role in the lab. Rekha was a creative person. Rekha pursued higher education and completed a Ph.D while working in a lab. She resigned from her lab position and joined as #college teacher in a reputed college.
Rekha enjoyed teaching in college. She was keen to inculcate #scientific aptitude in her students. For that, she will apply for small grants from DST and guide students to execute the same. Many students worked in their extra time as they had a big drive to acquire science knowledge. That gave Rekha a lot of happiness and satisfaction.
In tinkering lab of college. Rekha will work in that lab with students who have a passion for the arts. From broken test tubes, boiling tubes, #funnels and coloured liquids like potassium permanganate (dark purple), potassium dichromate(orange) (aqueous solution), she will persuade students to make three-dimensional models of chemical molecules. Many students used to visit her lab to appreciate how broken #chemistry lab small apparatus can make such beautiful, creative educational aids.
Students always waited for their #slots to work in the lab. She will display all such creations under #STEAM projects. It was big fun and satisfaction for Rekha. Her science #pursuit through STEAM was joy for her. For her creative adventures, she was famous in college.
One day on the phone, Rekha said, "Madam, why have my close friends stopped talking to me? I am confused".
I said, "Rekha, people love you when you are average. I further said, "This shows you are moving forward in your #pursuit. Therefore, Rekha, please carry on your work. "
Moral -Always appreciate one's #creativity and hard work. Feeling Jealous is not a solution. Acceptance of others #talent and success make one strong and #wise.
