I have been teaching science in school. 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 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, fuller life. To make my students understand what is full life is, and how to lead the fullest life, I wrote a poem" Fullest Life" and pasted it on the notice board of the school. The same poem I am listing below for my esteemed readers
Life is such a wide umbrella,
How to get my# fullest life,
I ask this question many times,
To my beloved soul.
With a cup of coffee in my hand,
I sat on my balcony,
I realized to lead the fullest life,
I must concentrate on coffee,
Not on# cup of coffee,
Why so asked my# soul.
Coffee is life,
But a cup in which is contained coffee,
Is like a job, money, a position in life, but not life,
They are# means to lead life.
Most affluent are not people,
Who has everything in life,
Most affluent people are,
Who utlise their resources,
In the best possible way,
And remain happy.
This understanding spontaneous,
Made crystal clear all my doubts,
I lost all my false fears of life,
And gained my happiest fullest life.
