Accepting Change

 Life is a roller coaster. Life is not a linear process. It is a # non-linear process. There are ups and downs in everyone's life. Associated with ups and downs is change. 


My friend Gita was #expecting her first child she was scared of #physical changes in her body. I said, "Gita, please consider this change happily, as this is for your good only. You are going to have your own family. Children are a bundle of joy. So please #embrace this change, and don't feel threatened. " I suggested Gita take a nutritious diet. Go for a walk daily. This is a must for making this change comfortable ".


Another friend, Namrta, happened to get married in a different city. She was hesitant that she might not get a job in that city. I said," Namrata #change is a must in life. Be positive about #change. #Change is a learning opportunity."


To Namrata's surprise, in the new city she got a better job than her previous one, and it was much near to her house. She was so happy because with a baby to take care of at home changed her a lot. It saved her a lot of energy and money. During lunch time, she could come home and see her baby. She could attend to her baby's small needs. 


Namrata said, "Sukarma! You were right, one should not be afraid of #change in life. See, as per your advice, I embraced #change with a positive attitude. That has made me strong and wise, and to some extent, there is an increase in my wisdom of day-to-day life".


Moral - #change is there in everyone's life in one form or another. It can be physical, emotional and financial. The best is to embrace it. #Learn from it. That is going to contribute positively to one's personality.

Yelling at kids

I teach in govt school. One day, I was going home on the #metro train, and I met my old student Ankita in #train. 


My friend was looking very #tense. I asked her the reason for her being so tense. She said, "Madam, my son is 5 years old. Every #morning, he makes so much fuss about going to #school. It is time for me to make breakfast. Due to #frustration of work and other factors contributing, I #yell at him. That makes me sad".


I said, "Ankita yelling at kids is not a respected #parenting technique.#Patience is key. Please maintain your #calm. Instead of yelling, if you try to #convince your son that please be #prompt, otherwise you will miss the school bus. #Yelling is a short-term goal. Making children understand the urgency of #situation in a calm atmosphere has a long-term #impact on children. Please practice #meditation to become a calm parent. I request you, Ankita, please be patient with your son when you are giving #toilet training. Ankita's small children's nervous system is sensitive, therefore #yelling may have a bad impact on the child. 


Moral of the story- yelling is not a good technique for #parenting. It is considered to be #destructive for the child. Better is to show #patience while teaching good #manners to #kids.

Philosophy of Ikigai

 I am a teacher in school. In our extra-curricular class, the school invited Mr. Ikigami. He was #visitor to our school. He was on #mission to collect data for STEM projects of the government school in India. 


Mr Ikigami talked to students about the #ikigai philosophy. He said the ikigai belief is an open-minded attitude towards life. Ikigai philosophy directs one to show #empathy toward oneself, others and to anything which exist on earth (parks, trees, museums, rivers, oceans, animals, etc.) Ikigai believes that one who #enjoys and respects small things is sure to go up in #ladder in life. 


Ikigai believes in #respecting the experience of elders and, of course, elders. #Elders believe in the complete transfer of #values to the younger. That is the reason that in Japan, in cities and societies, people are happy, and the happiness quotient among #citizens is high. This is the reason people in Japan have a happy #long life. 


In conclusion, Mr Ikigami said, "Ikigai can be considered to have circles of love, passion, #mission, knowledge, #duties, values, profession and #vocation. Ikigai is a big overlap of above mentioned circles. "


Our principal madam thanked Mr Ikigami for giving a wonderful talk about ikigai and said," By practicing #powerful philosophy of ikigai, every individual indirectly is dedicating to the mighty #unconditionally."

U Turn in Life

I am a science teacher at school. Students come from different backgrounds. Some students come to school in their own vehicles, and some come in public transport. 


Some of these teenage students sometimes feel #inferior to other students as they are not able to perform well in # academics compared to other students. 


I say "Students, please work hard and never have superiority or inferiority complex at any stage in life. A friend's life is like a parade, when there is a command of U-turn, the first person in the queue becomes the last person. Please have faith in yourself and keep #working continuously ".


Many of my students have agreed to my suggestions and have done very well in life. 


Moral of the story


Life is uncertain and unpredictable and #non-linear in nature. Consistent, honest, and hard work always help in handling every problem of life.

Weight on Heart

I am a science teacher in a government school. Many of my students are not disciplined in their #eating habits. They believe in eating from #outside more; therefore, they face many challenges in life. 


To educate those students, I wrote a small piece to educate same, "If we improve, we can improve the world around'


Same, I am listing below for my esteemed readers


We are all trying to #peep into the bad habits of each other, but nobody is worried to peep for one's bad habits. Every one wants a positive change in the world, but no one is ready to bring positive change in oneself. Everyone is busy educating others, but no one is ready to educate oneself. No one is ready to acknowledge that if one improves, then only the world will improve. 


Moral of the story -If somehow "one's weight has increased, please restrict the diet and concentrate on proper exercise".If somehow the weight on the heart has increased, please meditate."

Unparliamentary Language

 


It is very natural students fight "with each other on one issue or other. It is ok every one has right to put facts in terms of #argument. I feel sad when students use #filthy language in format of argument and some students go to extent of #bullying each other. Both mode of putting one's self #thoughts are not acceptable. I say "students please save your self from using filthy or #Unparliamentry language. Ultimately it will become your #way of life. You may like to change this later in your life but it will be very difficult to do so. So students it is high time you take care of these #unacceptable habits. "

Sometimes I find that some students are not able to submit assignment in time but instead of #apologizing they give vague excuses for doing so. Inspite me telling stories to give them advise ,they lack this #skills in their personality. Some time I appeal respected #parents and take their help to achieve my goals of incorporating good communication  #skills among my students. Depending upon #parents response , I do achieve good results. 

Moral -Always let your #tongue to speak truth. If respected parents help teachers in this difficult shared educational #endeavor of improving students these #efforts can give much #better results.

Science Arts Writing A help to Grasp Science Concept

 I am a science #teacher in collegeI did  Ph.D in chemistry. I wrote many research papers in good journals.As a science teacher, I realised that chemistry research, as we report in good journals, can only be of use to experts in the field.

 In other words,we as researchers have our limitations.We somehow must reach the masses andConvey our research results. With this aim in mind, I started doing science arts writingand wrote the book "Science of Life and nature : photo poetry collection."Digital link to my book and my website, where I have loaded my poems, which I wrote to teach my respected students are listed below.

 I made educational digital collages to educate my students. It was a lot of fun conveying difficult Science results more simple way. I still write on my blog(Sukarma Musing) on blogspot.com. I also write blogs about Science a teaching methods. 


I aim to write for students in the form of liberal arts, where they get answers to questions like why, when so etc. This writing give my students' ways to face a difficult future complex Life.
