In today’s world, everyone says, “Get up and run, because the world is moving fast.” Run to achieve higher goals, to make family and society proud. People dream of name, fame, respect, and a high salary package, believing it will win every heart. Undoubtedly, having an aim in life is important, and hard work is necessary to achieve it. But then a question arises — why are suicidal cases increasing day by day? People often blame those who fail, saying they lacked hard work or a winning spirit. But my concern is not only about those who failed. My question revolves around those who reached the top and still collapsed in life. Why do successful people, with prestigious jobs, families, and social respect, still feel emotionally defeated? Recently, I heard the heartbreaking news of an officer who committed suicide. Whatever the personal or professional reason was, one truth remains — a human being lost the battle against emotions. Society considered him successful because he had everything people usually dream of. Then what forced him to give up his life? This is why I connect this issue with education. Education is not merely about scoring 100% marks, earning degrees, or achieving polished careers. True education should also teach us how to survive emotionally, how to handle failures, loneliness, pressure, and the ups and downs of life. But which subject teaches us this? Where do students learn emotional balance, self-worth, or inner peace? Schools and colleges are not just places to prepare students for competition and careers. They are the first places where young minds begin to understand life and the world around them. Today, we are preparing humans like machines to compete with technology and artificial intelligence. But we forget one important truth — humans are not machines. We are human beings, full of emotions, controlled by feelings and hormones, not by technology. And perhaps, before teaching students how to become successful professionals, we must first teach them how to remain alive, strong, and human.

Nature is the greatest teacher. Who taught the tailorbird to weave threads and build its nest so perfectly? There is no classroom for a bird to learn such skills. It is instinct, combined with observation, that enables it to create a safe shelter for survival. Today’s era speaks strongly about these very skills—skills that not only help individuals survive but also empower them to create meaningful opportunities for future generations. Education, therefore, should go beyond merely earning a degree; it should focus on developing abilities that add real value to life and society. Many institutions are working towards this vision, designing strategies to make education skill-oriented and purposeful. However, not everyone is on the same path. Some institutions still follow traditional methods, where education is limited to obtaining a degree rather than building competence. The irony is that creating meaningful change requires motivated educators. If the objective is not to bring change—because change comes with challenges—then true progress becomes difficult. An educational institution should be filled with motivated students and teachers—but that’s not easy. Motivation isn’t a one-time dose; it grows from understanding purpose and the real value of education. Life is full of ups and downs, and challenges are inseparable—they don’t stop us, they shape us. So, how do we build a creative and skilled mind? It begins with a clear vision. A vision gives direction to effort. Without it, learning becomes routine; with it, learning becomes meaningful. When a student knows why they are learning, curiosity increases, focus improves, and skills develop naturally. A clear vision also helps in making better choices—what to learn, how to practice, and where to apply knowledge. It turns challenges into opportunities and failures into lessons. In simple words, vision is the starting point of creativity and growth. When the mind has direction, skills follow with purpose. An institution and its mentors must be free from bias. Students don’t just learn—they observe, and often they learn more from what they see than what they are taught. The fading of values isn’t about generations; it’s largely shaped by the environment around them. Growth, skills, and change take time—nothing meaningful is built overnight. When mentors look beyond their own success and focus on the true purpose of teaching, they create a lasting impact. Teaching is not about self-glory, but about shaping minds with fairness, patience, and integrity. The role of a mentor is crucial—because a mentor is not just a position, but a symbol of knowledge, guidance, and inspiration.

Obsession with the color white: the quest. A research mind is always active looking for anything relating to its notion. Now when everyone asks why you are so infatuated with the color white. When I opened my wardrobe, nearly every dress was white. Oh, my bedsheets too. That indicates there is something interesting. And my so-called analytical mind begins to seek facts to prove that this is the true preoccupation.  Here are some highlights:- Wearing white encourages positive behavior, such as checking for stains before sitting down. This means that you should continue to monitor your actions. Make sure you're not doing anything unethical that will destroy your karma. So mindful about stains. 2) Soothing to the eyes means feeling relaxed, tranquil, and radiant while wearing white. If your acts and intentions are pure, you will feel light. Undoubtedly, a pure soul usually attempts to remain calm under various situations. Everyone feels more at ease and content in their presence. 3) Conscious awareness implies that while purchasing a white dress, you become aware that it must be cleaned after each wear. That indicates you agreed that I will work on my thoughts and actions consciously. Because I decided. 4) Maintaining the cleanliness and shine of our white dresses. So, what do we do? We preserve it in a clean and safe environment. It tells us to keep our character clean and shining. Your good character is the sole valuable asset that keeps your head up in any situation. Because a person of good character is not afraid of anyone. In reality, he is brave

Here are some exercises to make life more livable. 1) Exercise, a healthy body generates positive thoughts. 2) Take some time to spend with yourself, self-talk is the best way to awaken the creative mind. 3) Make books your friend, they will never cheat you nor let you down. In fact it will take you on a journey of knowledge. 4) Cherish yourself on small achievements, after all your heart is a child who needs pampering. 5) Connect with nature, it is a great medicine. 6) No matter how bad your day is, don't forget to meditate to put your mind at ease.

Being guided or self-made depends on the options you choose. Choices in every way play a very important role in choosing the path of life. But making a choice is not as easy as pronouncing it. There are many factors that influence the choices we make. Not only affect but sometimes also create stress. Our society has set certain criteria for making choices. So what should be the process of making the choice? The so-called correct option. Should we follow the instructions of the society? Then what about experience or we can say what about research. I firmly believe that if we follow someone or are directed by someone, we can only choose their experience. Perhaps this can make us successful in the journey of life. But then we can never understand the feelings of the choices made and their consequences and benefits. Here are some ideas on how to make a choice:- 1) Self analysis:- We have lot of time to think about others. eg. Their happiness, opinions, recommendations and the list is so high. What about me? It is important to know yourself in order to make choices. Otherwise people do not change their choice if they understand and know themselves. 2) Peaceful mind:- If we are talking about a calm mind. People will think us crazy. In the era of competition or comparison, a calm mind is just a joke. Thousands of attempts to keep oneself calm fail. There is one practice that can help us a little to stay calm. That is meditation. 3) Learning:- The daily activity of learning something new or adding a skill. Not only helps you to increase your creative and knowledge but also makes us young day by day. Learning teaches us many ways to know right or wrong. Which develops a sense of making the right choice. 4) Being open minded- Being judgmental about others makes you narrow minded. A conservative mind can never make the right choice. Because his field of view will be narrow and conservative. Freedom of thought always refers to a mind that is free from discrimination and criticism. Give creative guidance to your mind to think independently. Throw out the lenses of judgmental lenses that constrict the thought process. Last but not least, take responsibility for every action. Once we hold ourselves accountable and responsible for everything we do. Whether you have made choices under the influence of others. Because it was your wish to follow them too. Even then you will be responsible. Accountability and responsibility for the actions we take reinforce our sense of acceptance. It boosts our confidence to face and overcome failures. Never blame anyone for your failures. This attitude will help you build your decision making power stronger than ever.

Confidence isn't a suit of armor you wear to appear confident, it's the practice of overcoming negative thoughts and finding inner strength with persistence.

You are entitled to feelings of guilt not only with the faults you have committed. Sometimes even if you are not living up to the expectations of others, the environment around you will create a feeling of guilt in you. Things do not stop there, you will also get the gift of guilt if you are not living according to the standards set by the society. Ironically, the definition of guilt is different in the books of wisdom. But this definition has been distorted by different minds of the society. Then we raise questions about the stress, frustration and anxiety that worsen mental health and sometimes lead to suicide. Many of us, on a daily basis, feel guilty for many activities. Half of these guilt feelings are unfounded. Like, if you are voicing your opinion in business meetings or team meetings, you will start calculating your mistakes in your opinion By comparing with the views of others. Because of the fear of being judged by the superior. which actually happens. Most of the faults that arise in our mind for ourselves are based on our judgmental nature. Because we are living in a society of judgmental minds. The irony is that we are also part of this judicial thinking. I have my own experience on this point. Every time I do whatever I do, like speak to discuss some point, after some time I feel like why am I talking about this topic. Because I feel like they are judging me on these points and somehow I want to be good at their judgmental views. When someone gave me a lift, I got confused whether to sit in front or behind. The mind starts calculating If I sit in the front does he think I am very candid and modern, if I sit in the back does he think am I her driver. If I talk to someone with a smile, will he consider me more frank and modern? If I speak less then will they consider me very proud and arrogant. This type of calculation of the mind all the time, what to do and what not to do, creates a feeling of guilt. Moreover, the origin of the creation of all these evils is only a judicial society and we are an important part of this society.

In this era of life, many qualities are required to improve the standard of living. So, we all are learning these qualities. One of these things is confidence. It would not be wrong to say that without confidence we cannot get anything desirable. That's why everyone wants to be confident. How to become confident, we have heard this from many mouths. By being good listeners, we follow that rule and become confident. The irony is that we wear the armor of confidence just to appear confident. This armor protects us not from fear of humiliation but from external humiliation. In short, we convinced the world but not ourselves. It is only a cause of stress, frustration and anxiety when you are not succeeding everywhere. Because the definition of confidence we have taken wrong. Confidence is not about boasting about your qualities, but how much awareness you have about your weakness and strength. Because awareness of your weaknesses helps you examine the limits you set for yourself. At the same time the awareness of true strength helps you to organize yourself and make the right choices. Learn to gain confidence from within to handle the pressure of inner turmoil and not just to show it to the world.

The feeling of moving forward boosts your confidence to live life your way. Why do we always consider success only by climbing the standard of success set by others. Once we understand the power of internal competition, half the rivalry is gone. Also people will be more comfortable appreciating the achievements of others. I have visited many institutions and am amazed to see the lack of appreciation in the eyes of the young changemakers. Are we grooming the youth as robots? Instead of creating a sense of competition against others, we should teach the true meaning of competition. Competition means searching for new innovation with an attitude of persistence without losing humanity, confidence and integrity to guide the world in a new direction of knowledge. In contrast, nowadays competition is defined as targeting others to reach the criteria of success. This very definition is the cause of stress, frustration, demotivation and lack of confidence. Let's change the definition of success, it is not a competition. It is just a footstep and approach to seek knowledge voluntarily.

मन का पंछी करे सवाल, चारों और ये कैसा बवाल, कोई हंसे तो कोई रोये, फिर भी झूठे सपने संजोए, मन का पंछी करे सवाल,चारों और ये कैसा बवाल। जितनी छोटी जिंदगी, उतनी छोटी सोच, यहां रोटी की नहीं, कुचलने और आगे बढ़ने की भूख, जितना अहंकारी, उतना सबपे भारी, झूठी शान, झूठी इज्जत का अधिकारी, लेकिन फिर भी जितने की बाजी मारी, क्योंकि अंधों की बस्ती में काने राजा की सवारी। मन का पंछी करे सवाल, चारों और ये कैसा बवाल। ये कैसा इंसान जो बूने जाले, फिर हाहाकार कर दुनिया को भ्रम में डाले, छल, कपट और ईर्ष्या द्वेष इसके सुखद प्याले। मन का पंछी करे सवाल, चारों और ये कैसा बवाल। झूठ बोलने पर लगे लॉटरी, सच बोले, तो छूटे प्यारी नौकरी, तलवे चाटे , तो तरक्की की पूरी तैयारी, बस यही कशमकश, सबके मन में जारी न जाने कब तक यही कार्यक्रम जारी। हज़ारों उल्झनों में फसे अलफ़ाज़, मन का पंछी करे सवाल, चारों और ये कैसा बवाल। -पूजा शर्मा
