– Angelin Diana
You can fly like a Kite
To a great height
Just to shine bright
As the stars in the night
The sky’s the limit
Use every minute
Have that spirit
When you give it
You can go
With your flow
May your face glow
As you grow
In every test
Give your best
You are blessed
So never feel depressed
You and your might
Together might
Glow up the light
Am I right?
“People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.” – Helen Keller
Never let anything hold you back when you think of ideas.
You’ve got nothing to lose. Just make sure you act small. Put in the work and stay practical.
Every time you experience stress over a problem, you’re sabotaging your life.
A problem is nothing but an unanswered question. So stay calm. And figure out the answer.
Wrong reasons to start relationships include money, fear of being alone, abuse, needing attention.
The foundation of all relationships should be based on love, respect, support, trust, patience, good company, laughter, sadness, and more support.
You always pay for something with money, time (the most valuable thing you have), or other resources.
Life is a business. And smart business people spend their resources wisely.
Waiting, postponing, doubting, researching too much — it’s all not useful. Get your act together, and decide firmly whenever you have to make one.
And when you made the wrong decision, own it, apologize, and make another decision.
Being a leader also has nothing to do with your title.
When everyone looks at each other because no one wants to take responsibility, decide that you will take responsibility.
There’s only one thing that helps you to go from nothing to something: You have to put in the work.
Make sure you value effectiveness over everything. Results matter. Get things done and move on to the next thing.
In almost everything you do, you’re selling yourself.
When you sell, be transparent, honest, and to the point. Don’t waste your time on people who don’t like you anyway.
To improve your self-confidence.
You only improve your self-confidence by becoming good at something: By learning, doing, seeing results, and repeating that process for years. Your confidence will grow slowly every day.
We’re social animals. When we’re alone, we die early.
So be nice to each other. And respect that your friends also have lives of their own.
Don’t believe all the success stories you see everywhere. YouTubers, Instagram models, millionaire entrepreneurs: They seem perfect. But you only see the outside.
You don’t have to be a cynic. Just don’t take appearances for facts.
It’s fuel for you. You can use criticism to improve yourself, your product, or your service.
Or, if the criticism makes no sense, it can make you angry, which is also a good thing. That type of anger is useful. “I’ll show them!”
If you can’t take care of your body, you can’t take care of anything.
You can influence your health by eating healthy, exercising, and treating your body with respect.
You control your thoughts. That means you decide what you do with your life. If you’re unsatisfied, angry, or frustrated, that’s all you.
Make yourself useful.
Instead of consuming so much information, products, and entertainment from others, spend a fraction of that time on creating something yourself.

Her dad allowed her to use PC from a very young age. She learned all of the English letters in order by writing them in the Notepad. She used to draw Pictures in MS Paint even prior to joining LKG. She had a huge curiosity in her young age and tried new and experimental things on the PC which shows that she was curious to learn and try new things.
At the point when she was six years of age, her dad showed her a site planned by a Young student and supported her that in case She was intrigued by it She can likewise do it. Then, at that point, she designed her website by MS Word and afterward in MS Front Page. She designed her first site, the one for her school which goes by http://www.presentationhss.com while she was just 8 years of age.
She is one of the persons who aim for excellency in their respective fields. She herself said in an interview that she must be expert in her field and she needed to be sincere to accomplish more and more in this field.
She is a great disciplinary. In an interview, She said that she is in school for around 7 hours and she can make time for her web designing works for 3 hours without letting that interfere with her school works. she has a rule that she must finish all the school work first then do all of her designing work.
Sreelakshmi suresh shows us that no matter what your age is, If one is Proactive, Skillful, Aims for mastery, and A Great Disciplinary then there is no hurdle that can’t be conqoured. SreeLakshmi Suresh even says that Don’t think that something is impossible for Children. We can achieve whatever elders can do, if we have the will to do so. Afterall, the success and failure is in our hands and it entirely depends upon us if we want to achieve something or just complain about the circumstances that are not letting us achieve what we want to. If I wanted to choose between complaining about circumstances or doing something about them Here is what I will choose and recommend it for you all is to choose your struggle and do something about it and keep going just don’t quit no matter how many setbacks you have,
Our society often requires us to work harder. Anything that we want to achieve needs our dedication towards it and hardwork. But we don’t often burn the midnight oil for the test that’s soon to be taken. Or we don’t give our best in the jobs we have. Leaving us dissatisfied and troubled for a while. We have all been there. Maybe now is the time to motivate yourself to work harder, and reap the fruits that you deserve.
Motivating yourself to work harder shouldn’t be a short term boost that you experience after listening to some motivational speaker. It should be your lifestyle.
Here are some of the ways you can motivate yourself to work harder.
An effective way of convincing yourself to work harder is to change your perception about the task. Maybe it is not that hard, after all. Shift your focus from the level of difficulty to the feeling of accomplishment you might feel upon finishing the task in hand. It isn’t really fun to have it easy in life. Facing challenges makes you feel better and feel more capable.
Although you cannot control the circumstances. You can control what you choose to do with your time. With proper planning and adequate help from people, you can finish your tasks one by one. Leaving you with less guilt and stress by the end of the day and a sense of accomplishment.
When you surround yourself with people who work hard, you will also be motivated to work hard. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if peer pressure influenced you to work hard on the important things in life? Join forces with people who influence you to work hard and help you during the process.
No human is an island! We all need to be motivated and helped by people around us to work harder.
Writing an assignment with a word limit of 3,000 words does seem like a daunting task! But writing a few words everyday, way before the due date can ensure that you do a small portion of the task each day and still finish the assignment of 3,000 words on time.
Never fail to celebrate your small victories while you prepare for the bigger success. Although the win may seem small, their accumulation results in bigger accomplishments. Bearing this in mind motivates you to work harder.
Focusing on a task, helps you to finish it more efficiently and faster. Thus, motivating you to work harder on the important things in life. Distractions can cause delay and lack of efficiency, which leads to lack of motivation and interest in completing your tasks.
It is advisable to set a time period and distance yourself from everything else apart from the resources required to accomplish a task. Perhaps, you can set a time limit for the distracting elements or use it as a reward for your small wins!
Since you are already doing what you are doing and you need the motivation to work harder on it. It is essential to remind yourself of why you are doing what you are doing. It could be because you are passionate about it, or you want to make a better future for yourself, or maybe even because you are bored and have nothing else to do.
The ‘why’ behind the task you are doing, often acts as a driving force that motivates you to work harder on the same.
Although, positivity is a term that is already being used a tedious number of times. It must be reiterated once again because of its significance. One cannot carry on with a task in hand while having a negative attitude. We are faced with unfortunate circumstances sometimes or we become weary due to our responsibilities. It’s wiser to take a day or two off from your assignments and challenges during such occasions and do things that comfort you.
Start again with a positive outlook over your life. You will indeed feel motivated to work harder.
So there you go! These are some points covered that can motivate you to work harder. Do mention in the comment box if any technique inspired you or motivated you to work harder.
Euthymia is a term used in psychology to define a middle state which is neither too maniac nor depressive. Its commonly associated with bipolar disorder.
However, the history of the term goes back to ancient Greece. The term was coined by Democritus, a Greek philosopher. The term ‘ Euthymia’ can be roughly translated to tranquility, serenity and cheerfulness. According to Democritus, Euthymia referred to a state of calmness and steadiness of the soul in absence of fear and passion.
However, the famous Greek philosopher Seneca had later translated the term and defined it as “believing in yourself and trusting that you are on the right path, and not being in doubt by following the myriad footpaths of those wandering in every direction.”
How is it useful in today’s generation?
We live in a ‘competitive world’ or maybe we perceive the world to be so. Competition cannot be eliminated but participating in it is upto you.
What is a race? It is a sport wherein every contestant runs for the same goal, on the same path. Life cannot be described through this metaphor, In simple words, we cannot run on the same path as someone else just to prove our superiority or ‘capability’. What worked for them, may not work for us and even if we achieve success on that path, we will never feel the satisfaction and contentment which we expected from it.
Euthymia is a concept which preaches of believing in one’s path. It describes life through a simple metaphor. You don’t compete with others but yourself. Euthymia is calmness over rush, confidence over self doubt and contentment over jealousy.
Some of the common distractions which we face are:
Social Media: Often, while we browse social media, we come across glittering pictures of people around us having fun, living lavishly, ‘enjoying lives’, celebrating their wins or a new job. To be honest, it does demotivate us and we develop feelings of envy. Sometimes, even observing a friend’s progress in life can make us envious towards them. We doubt our own present, our decisions, our path and we lock ourselves in stagnancy. We forget that every person has a different meaning of success and is walking on a different path. We scroll through the posts and with each hour of scrolling through social media, we drown deeper into the sea of self doubt.
If you ever drown in it, ask yourself , ‘What Is Important To Me?’. Knowing what you want assists you in having faith and focus on your path. When you know what you want you will spend your time working on it. Scrolling through others’ profiles will become least of your concerns.
Opportunities And Priorities: Euthymia is awareness about one’s path. About one’s purpose. Awareness of our path helps us in identifying our prioritize and eliminate the rest. It teaches us how to say ‘no’. A person who aims at seeking validation or lives on attention may try to grab many eye catchy opportunities at once and end up failing in them all. Life is filled with opportunities and it often tests our belief and dedication by throwing opportunities as hurdles in front of us. When a person knows what they are doing, they also know how to do it and select opportunities which they truly need to progress.
The foreign opinion: Your path may be unappealing to many. Not many will motivate you on your way. However, everyone has their own opinions but it is your belief, dedication and confidence which will help you walk steadily towards progress. When you walk on YOUR path, validation seems unnecessary.
Ego: Lastly, rushing into opportunities and new ways can be a product of ego. Ego cannot compromise. It wants you to be the best in every sphere which is impossible.
Purpose on the other hand demands compromise. A rather healthy and obvious compromise. You cannot master the world but yourself.
When one is content with their path…jealousy, insecurities,doubts,anxiety, and confusion does not pull his/her will down. Euthymia teaches us the basic principles of awareness,patience,hard work, self belief, faith, dedication and focus which are all virtues of true success.
We all try really hard to become successful and for that we need to know our right path. We think about the situation if we not become successful in future. The fear of failure haunts everyone. We all are in a blind race of success and sometimes we forget our genuine subjects of interest in this rat race.
You all might have heard stories of people in which, initially they were involved in other professions like engineer or management but now they are in different profession maybe actor or fashion designer. There could be many explanations for it, one of them could be they didn’t have a clue about their right path, their inclinations.
The signs which tell that you are on the right path are:
1.You’re not doing things that make you feel uncomfortable.
2.You’re not making statements you later apologize for.
3.You don’t want to think twice about the Big Deal Stuff.
4.You feel your feeling of significant worth or worth and see it reflected back by your current circumstance.
5.You’re certain about your decisions and life.
The signs which tell that you are on the wrong path are:
1.The current situation is costing you your force.
2.You feel depleted. Getting tired is fine. Depleted means drained.
3.You feel ridiculously befuddled about where your life is going.
4.You are particularly on some unacceptable way when you feel as you are “losing yourself” to a specific circumstance.
5.In the event that you wind up saying “I can’t resist the urge to feel like I lost myself,” then, at that point you’ve presumably sold out yourself somehow or another.
If you ever feel like you are on the wrong path and need to escape the present situation then you ought to ask yourself questions like “What do I really want ?“. If you feel you are too afraid to get out of circumstance thinking it would make it only worse, then you should know that it is your life. You reserve an option to live your life in your own particular manner. You don’t have to compromise with your interests. Individuals who are in contact with their inward aides can all the more likely explore life’s hindrances. They quit jobs as they know aren’t ideal for them. They cut off relationships that aren’t satisfying. They settle on extreme decisions, since they know they’re taking the right decisions.
It’s hard to know the correct way for yourself however not impossible. The primary thing you need is to trust yourself, realize that you’re picking a right way for yourself and no one knows you better than you. Decide your objective and achieve it everyday, every week and every month. Don’t be hard on yourself. Relax and think with peaceful mind.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, it’s something that makes you want to change in your life for the better, or someone who pushes you or set’s an example, or someone that makes you think about your life and how you want to change it.
My inspiration was my envy! Yes you heard it right. Growing up as a student was a challenging task. A child is vulnerable during this stage of life. The influence which the social sphere lay’s on them is very overwhelming. A child is born as an empty slate with capabilities; that child becomes a well adjusted individual by manifesting the potential they possess in a right way.
Let me share my piece of story. My experience as a student was, I lacked the quality of confidence and was not motivated enough to perform well in my desire area of interest, Literature. Every year mu school use to host English Recitation Competition in which I wanted to participate and win, but didn’t had the grit to admit my self into the competition. My teacher who always encouraged every student to exploit their potential advised me,“Winning doesn’t matter, what matter is participating”. That piece of encouragement was sufficient to to kick start my journey in search of my confidence aand winning that competition. I participated in the competition but I lose I was disheartened but was determine to win next year, but again success was not on my side and that’s when envy came into the frame. I was envious towards the winners and compared myself with them not releasing I was demotivating my own self. Consequently I observed the winners in the following years analyzing their ploy and instructed myself if they can do it why can’t I! I worked on my language skills and hand gestures evently advancing in the reciting tactics. I made the winners my model and changed my envious attitude into a matured one, which helped me to boost my motivation. This changes helped me to win the competition after a consistent failures in the past years. That’s when I learnt “INSPIRATION LEADS TO SUCCESS”

The world we live in is fast and busy. We always have new content to consume, new information to process, and new decisions to make. But even if the world demands us to make quick choices, sometimes being patient and still is the best thing, that can be pretty hard. However, sometimes, patience will help us reach success.
If you are just learning a new skill, you need to be patient and give yourself time to practice and improve. You won’t become good enough tomorrow and, if you try to use it, it might backfire.
Don’t hurry things along – they need to take their own time and happen when the moment is right.
Patience alone is not enough to achieve success. However, without it, you will be hard pressed to achieve anything at all.
Good things take time. You need to work hard and wait for the results to show themselves.
Patience can give you the strength to hold on even when things are tough. It allows you to remember that everything is temporary and wait the storm out.
Patience allows you to wait until your work shows its results. It prevents you from premature decisions and rash behaviors that can hurt your chances for success.
Just be still and observe and you might notice a lot more than you would have expected. Taking some time before acting can allow you to recognize new solutions and prevent you from doing a harmful thing.
Patience brings its rewards in every aspect of our lives. It can truly work wonders.
Even if the world is loud and fast, slow yourself down. Be patient and be still and see what changes within you. See what you can recognize when you allow yourself to just watch and wait.
Patience is essential for any kind of success, as nothing happens overnight. Reap the benefits by allowing yourself to wait and let things happen at the right time, without forcing them to occur.
Writing a good resume is a dream of every student who is
facing interview. You do not want to miss any chance for any single job. Online
job searching is not a rocket science, making a professional resume is.
Now if you want to make a good resume you must follow a good
resume format. Of course, you will find tons of useful resources that will help
you make resume online.
But there are certain details in your resume you want to
double-check before sending mail to any Hiring Manager. Freshers even company
professionals making these mistakes would fail to land their dream job.
These are the most common mistakes on resume and if you
avoid these you will save yourself a career. So read on.
1. Do I look nice?
Yes. You do.
But you do not have to tell your interviewer. And if you are
not applying for any Model or Artistic Industry, I am sure they do not even
care about your looks.
Many students who are applying for a job for the first time,
think they must stick a photograph, like it will bewitch the employers.
The truth is that the photograph has to leave, until it is
asked for. Your skills and qualifications are more important.
2. My house is 2 blocks from Community Park.
Lucky for you.
Now, employers are very unlikely to visit your house or even
the park. They are not interested to send you offer letter by post.
Emails are the vessels of our destiny. We live in digital
era and we use Emails for our official communications. It is not wise to
include exact details of your residence. Just the name of city will do the job.
After all we DO give our contact number. That does the part.
3. Too Flashy and Trashy
Your creative side may distract many. In the last post I
told how important it is to include text based information in the resume. If
you add all the flashy graphics, your resume may not go to the next round.
Keeping minimal design shows professionalism and dedication.
4. “I cannot read, it’s all elvish.”
This is what the employers feel when they find a resume with
the different fonts. Using two fonts in a single resume or using crazy font
formatting will make you less appealing to the employers.
Keep Times, Cambria or Arial. You may Bold, Italicized, or
underline to highlight some point, as you wish. But don’t use all the different
formats in same sentence.
5. Spell check once
again, and again.
Every resume should pass through grammar check and spell
check. Any deviation from these two checks is big red flags to your employers
about your application.
Your resume forecasts your work.
6. Essay no more.
You will not gain any advantage writing long, elaborate, and
detailed resumes. Resumes are short, but not too short, summary of your
academic and professional profile.
7. Cooking, dancing, singing, gardening, ……and leaving.
This was five years ago. No one is going to make you cook,
dance, or sing in the Company you are applying for. There is no need to write
what interests you.
Instead write relevant experience related to the job you are
applying for.
Tip: Mention what you can ‘solve’ for them.
8. 50+ courses in 5 months
No need to include all those certificate courses you have
done since the dawn.
Some graduates who are fond of online course certification
include everything they have learnt, even though it does not match with the job
profile.
I once saw a graduate candidate adding “Online English Grammar
Course” Certificate from Udemy. This is one such redundant bullet that
needs to leave resume.
I mean. C’mon. A graduate does not need to show that he knows
basic English grammar.
Solution is to add top 5-7 course certificates which you
have Mastered and applied to solve real life problems.
9. Find me on Facebook and Instagram – NOT!
No employer, at least real ones, will ever ask for your
personal details or links to your personal social sites.
Be professional. Linkden, Github, Quora, or any website you
have worked on is always welcomed on your resume.
10. Jack of all trades
Jack wanted to master all the Fortune500 Company. So he made
a resume, applied all the correct fonts, used spell checker, and did everything
fine.
He made his resume for an Automobile sector, then took that
same resume to the Medical Center, then to Academic Institute, then Public
Service, then a Rehabilitation Center…and so on.
At the end, he could not be a master of any one of the Companies.
Lesson learnt! Do not use same resume to different companies,
positions or places you are applying for.
Make relevant changes accordingly.
Tip: Keep a resume template, and make changes according to
the field you are applying for.
Conclusion:
Use Resume Template from an authentic source. Keep up with the
latest LinkedIn posts related to the resume format. Use this 10 check list and
avoid them. And rock that interview!
I am sure there is more to this list. Comment below if you
think so.
Job searching is indeed a hard task.
Let’s get real.
You have great CGPA in college, you
did your graduation with flying colors, you made cool projects, and also earned
online course certificates. And with huge expectations you are applying to that
online job opening in your favorite Company, for days, weeks, and months…., and
what you get is stone-cold rejection!
You must remember that you are
applying for a job along with millions of job seekers aka your competitors, for the same position, for the same Company,
and with same qualifications as yours. This is the part of job seeking phase
where we start questioning our abilities and toss your certificates out of the
window. With no success in view, you have two options: lose all hopes in
humanity or change your job hunting strategy.
And the best time to change your
strategy is now!
The Initial phase of job rejection: RESUME.
Have you ever received any friend
request from an unknown person, and you immediately hit ‘reject’? Yes you have.
We choose not to waste our time knowing anything more about an unknown person,
just because we don’t like his ‘Profile’. Your resume is your academic profile.
The recruiters are out of time for most of the time, they have meetings,
deadlines, interviews, and what not. And your resume just has 5 to 7 seconds to
make you visible to them. All the rest will be discarded without a second
thought.
The pandemic has captured businesses
into your mobile. The unemployment has been the reason for exodus of resources
in search of better career. Loads of resume get flooded in the single company
for a single job opening. Imagine analyzing thousands of resumes in a day.
The recruiters of giant techs do not have all
day to screen your well-designed resume. They just toss your resume
away…..not in trash……… but in ATS.
ATS, What’s that?
Applicant tracking system or ATS is document
screening software that analyze your resume in 2-3 seconds. This eliminates the
load of applications that the recruiters are looking for and give opportunity
to the best. ATS converts your well-designed resume into a text file then looks
for the keywords, sections, and skills that your recruiters are looking for. To
crack this phase you would have to make your resume ATS friendly.
ATS optimized resumes go to the final
decision phase, the HR. Saying that you would get selected or rejected because
you have ATS resume is half-truth. ATS is just filter that picks out candidates
with selective skills with non-relevant ones.
Public Sectors could use the ATS that
would be efficient to choose the right candidates, rather than accepting hundreds
of applications from PhD holders to fill a peon’s position. Like seriously.
Not all recruiters use ATS
There are chances that your regional
recruiter expects well-structured resume that used best tools out there,
including tables, graphics, fonts and all.
You do not need to strictly comply
with ATS template. Your resume must fit the job requirement as much as your
recruiter’s scope. Every resume must be optimized with the area you want to
work. You would not require taking a minimally designed resume to the graphic
design position. Moreover, local companies do not really mind reading your
resume, as they do not have enough application to screen.
But bigger companies that use ATS do
not require these. ATS, a software, is really not interested in the creativity.
It reads text and might have problem reading fancy texts and graphics. So
before applying for any position do read the requirements if the company needs
ATS resume or not.
Writing a proper resume increases your
chance of getting hired. ATS or not, it all depends on the position and company you are applying for. After all, your resume must reflect your merit,
excellence, capability, and the true YOU.
“Communication
works for those who work at it”
-John
Powell
Learn and Lead
Being able to communicate in English is one of the most
important life skills. Communication skills take a lifetime to master, if not
mastered at an early age. According
to a 2018 survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and
Employees, communication skills are ranked first among ‘must have’
skills. The most important aim should be to
ignite young minds and unleash the dormant energy by providing an opportunity
for children to learn to communicate effectively in English. It is the duty of the parents and teachers to help broaden a child’s perspective, think critically, speak fluently, participate
in public speaking and tap their leadership potential.
Invest time in learning
Poor Communication has been considered as one of the greatest
barriers to confidence. If a child has not developed the skill of speaking, he
might lose the confidence to take his place among others.
Communicating daily will help to sharpen their skill.
How is the current situation beneficial for students?
In current situations, schools are closed and
students are not able to participate in co-curricular activities, thus
considering the situation it is the best time to grab the opportunity and
master the skill of communicating in English. Every child deserves to learn and
we as an older generation should give them the right opportunity and platform.
In today’s world, let’s make sure that our younger generation
does not have to face any hesitation.
We must ensure that children develop skills that classrooms
can’t teach. A personalized curriculum should be developed which caters to the need
of the students. Thus, making them learn in a more conceptualized way.
Let them learn and lead the
world
Beneficial for higher studies
Like job applications, one of the best benefits of learning
English is an educational opportunity. If you wish your child should
access the best colleges like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, or any
college, knowing English provides them an incredible edge. Writing
SOP’s (Statement of Purpose) is not an easy task; therefore, writing English is
very important for the students. Thus, it will ensure them to get the best
education in the future. If your child wishes to study abroad or within India
itself, learning English is one of the most important factors which
should be kept in mind.
Learn, grow and communicate.
Develop the habit of writing
One of the best ways to understand a language is to write. The more your child writes the
more exposure he receives. This eventually increases their creativity.
Schools must provide the students with exposure to
writing and make them understand the essence of writing. Students should start learning with simple words that later on turn into more complex and afterward the students must learn descriptive words needed to become creative writers. Much like becoming a musician, one might not understand
his/her instrument until they try it out. The same goes for English. It
requires consistent practice.
Start learning today, see the
benefits soon.
Improve focus
To correctly become a well-rounded English speaker requires
focus and determination. A child must develop such a thought process that helps her to remain focused and dedicated. Educators should give personal attention to students. During the course, students need to focus on
the four core pillars of learning -:

Thus, this will provide them amazing exposure and some invaluable experience of learning.
Children are the terra firma upon which the future is built. The
impact of learning will bring out their individuality. They deserve to know the world, let’s not keep them confined.
Let’s nurture their
leadership qualities because we can foresee a nation run by them.
Students today are leaders tomorrow
We all know, what maintaining consistency can do when it comes to bringing change or achieving something. Maintaining consistency for some time in any work or process can do wonders for you.
But, What does it mean to be consistent?
When we say an individual is consistent, it means, that individual is clear on what he/she wants to achieve and is taking crucial steps to achieve his/her goals. The level of consistency we maintain reflects our values and standards. Being consistent means doing things that are required today to achieve a better tomorrow. Consistency is simply about doing things on repetition over a while to achieve desired results.
Then, Why many of us fail to maintain consistency?
Well, there are numerous reasons why many of us fail to maintain consistency. Mentioned below are some of them:-
★ Lack of patience.
★ The desire for instant gratification.
★ Lack of clarity and focus.
★ Not having supporting habits or triggers.
