Hope and Friendship - Richa Solanki

Hope is the wish or dream that every person has in his life. Many of us could not even live a life

without having hope because if we see no way to our destiny then only hope deep inside the heart helps us to try again and again. Life is hard and has challenging phases at times. Things go out of hand and beyond our control many times. Hope helps us keep fighting on and improves the chances of making our life better.

 Hope is the only thing that keeps our eyes wide open for an improved future and life. It’s very hard to keep trying and move on with the inner faith during the most difficult times, but those who never leave hope will surely make it till the end. Life is full of war and difficulties. But it’s not every time. We must keep our eyes full of dreams and wishes. Hope not only gives you the strength to overcome your pain, but it also makes your expectations alive and makes your future better.

We should not worry about if our today is bad but we should try to learn because there is something good in every day and it depends on our hopeful thinking. Hope keeps us telling that tomorrow will be better than today. When a person is hopeful for anything, the sorrow and difficulty of today will disappear. Hope keeps us positive. Always stay positive and think about good vibes and you will not lose courage and will make you stronger to fight with every situation. Hope gives positive thinking. It gives you such power to protect you from the negative vibes.

Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons. It is a bond which creates such a mutual understanding. Not only this, but friends also help us grow spiritually. It is attached to our souls. Friends come in our life like to guide us, sometimes they become our family and best motivators and play their roles and help us to move on. We all have friends who are very close to us but they are far from us but our hearts are attached to each other. We should always remember them and some of them become best friends forever. Sometimes they drifted away from our life when their role as a guide was over. 

Friends can not be described in simple words. It is important for us to have friends but many of us find it difficult to find a true friendship. We must not have high expectations in our mind, it will not be difficult to make friends. We must not expect much because it may hurt you so much. If you start with high hopes, the relationship is likely to sink. To fulfil anyone's expectations, we need to understand what is expected of them. This means understanding which is very important in every relationship. This is true that it takes some time.

 When you try to start judging the person and his actions, there are so many things going in your mind that this person is fit for me or not and then your thinking doesn't match and you can't build a bond which creates a mutual understanding deeply. Hope always helps you to find true friendship in your life and then when you have a true friend you don't need a mirror because they are one who tells us truly about us what they see in us

Courage and Patience - Manisha Deora

Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. Courage means facing your own fears. We should have the courage to accept the challenges in our life. We should be able to stand up for what we know is right, even if we stand alone. We should encourage others to do the right thing even if peer pressure is against you. We should be brave when something scares us, like climbing a high wall, etc. We should be brave enough, to tell the truth even if it will get us into trouble and also have the courage to apologise when you know you have done something wrong.

We should be able to do something challenging and give it our beat, even when our fears tell you not to bother. We should have the courage to try something new in our life. We should have the courage to stand against our friends and family if we are being wrongly treated. Children should have the courage to speak in front of their classmates or the audience. Courage helps children gain their self-confidence. It enables a child to select right or wrong and to act according to his/her will. A child with moral courage sticks to his own principles does not compromise with evil forces. Patience is the ability to tolerate, waiting, delay or frustration without becoming upset. It is being able to control your emotions and proceed calmly. Patience is not losing your temper. Patience is following the rules and being calm. We should wait quietly. It is about controlling our frustration. Patience is making the right decision, eg - not by hitting but by walking away if we are angry or frustrated. We should be tolerant, especially with the younger siblings. It also means controlling our excitement and not interrupting when people are talking. We should wait for our turn to come in anything. If you have patience, it helps you to lead a simpler and happy life. We should help people understand that you can't always get everything you desire. You should have the patience for what you desire. The importance of patience should be realised by every individual. Life is about accepting the present moment. Patience is a virtue that everybody must possess. Patience makes us better people. To achieve your dreams, you must have the zeal to overcome challenges and the power to overcome comes only from patience. Patience is accepting other people as they are and it makes them tolerant. By being impatient, you suffer more than other people. If things are not going the way you want them to, instead of getting frustrated, you must learn to be patient.

Patience and Courage: Usman Gani

Sometimes, in our relationships, we become defensive, irritated, and say something to hurt others. We do not realize the importance of patience and end up making hasty decisions. Whenever you feel defensive against the person, try to be patient enough to take time to think over another person’s positive qualities.

Patience helps acquire a positive attitude: - If things are not going the way you want them to, instead of getting frustrated, you must learn to be patient. You need to see things and situations in a positive light to make your life happier. And to get that positivity, you need to be patient. If you find any life situation challenging or find it difficult to bear, try to re-frame that situation and try to see its positive side.

Courage is the mental and emotional preparedness and ability to deal with difficult, challenging, and sometimes seemingly impossible circumstances. It is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, intimidation and other threats.

When we work to develop courage, we both empower ourselves with the ability to confront problems head-on, as well as, acquire the skills required to deal with life's inevitable challenges. 

Indeed, when we build any muscle, we do so in order to build strength and resilience. At a time when many of us resort to harmful and counterproductive substances to deal with problems, we would do better to rely upon a healthy supply of courage. Undoubtedly, it is the wiser alternative.

Courage and Patience - Prakash Dangi

Courage and patience both are important in today's world. Nobody is perfect, everybody has some weakness, everybody commits mistakes. We face challenging situations in our day to day life regarding academics, profession and our personal relations. Nobody wants to fail. But many times we fail despite putting in efforts. Failure gives a lesson. If we honestly accept our mistakes, only then we will be able to correct those mistakes in future and become successful. 

Patience is the key which solves all problems. Being patient does not mean you have to wait. It means you have to continue your fight for your dreams. The power of patience helps you empower your life leading to wisdom and success. Success breeds happiness and happiness is the product of hard work and patience. Patience is not just a trait, but it’s a skill that needs to be developed.  

If you show patience, you can gain new skills and improve your talents. Thus, you can direct yourself towards the achievement of your goals There are lots of examples of great scientists, entrepreneurs and business people in whose lives patience has played a large role. They did not let the circumstances break them at all, but kept moving forward is focused on what they wanted to achieve while expanding new possibilities.  The most important quality that a teacher should have is patience.

A great teacher is very patient with his students. You never give up on your students and would try out new ways to help them succeed. Every student has its own nature and attitude and for all these students there is one teacher available to handle them, to teach them and to communicate with them. If teachers lose their patience they won't be able to help them. Today we all are facing the major problem Covid-19. But we will win this battle against COVID-19  with our courage and patience.

Play, Curiosity and Enthusiasm : Sharmila Vijayvargi

The classroom is a second home for a teacher as well as for a child. The classroom should be developed into traditional playtime or exploration centres. These developmental learning centres promote a child to learn effectively.

The physical environment in a preschool classroom should be set up in such a way that it promotes self-learning and direction to the children. The environment provided to the children should be organized, stimulating and comfortable in order to learn effectively.

Preschoolers are full of energy, enthusiasm and determination to explore and learn,  hence the environment that we provide should be challenging, interesting and  foster independence and creativity. Phonemic awareness is the knowledge that each word is made up of specific sounds and, phonological awareness is the ability to manipulate the sounds of language.

For children to develop these skills, they need repeated opportunities to listen to and play with language. Children in the ABC and  word work centre practice alphabet, play with letter and sound associations learn words that are common and important in their lives and begin to and begin to create unawareness of high-frequency words in a relaxed risk -3 atmosphere through  games, songs and fun activities.
