Unity and Caring - Nikita Rajpurohit

Unity and caring are the two important values which we must imbibe in our lives to live a

happier and healthier life. Unity means working together for a common goal. We all are familiar with this proverb, "Unity is Strength"  which implies that when we stay united we stay stronger and can withstand almost any problem. On the other hand, if we keep fighting and become selfish in our endeavours we often fall flat. Where there are teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.  

Caring simply means that you care for others. It means being compassionate and supportive in tough times.  When you care for someone, it makes a huge difference in their lives. These two values can be seen while competing in sports. As we know,  a single player cannot make a match win, the teamwork of the whole team is required. Sometimes, just because of a single mistake of any player, the match goes out of hand and there comes the role of unity, when the whole team needs to go hand in hand to bring the team into the winning slot. Now when the unity comes into action, sometimes the match may take a violent face, when the team 'A' starts harming team 'B' to win. And this is when caring ideology is needed in the players. Because no matter, it's a victory or a defeat, they must care for each other.

There are numerous stories of the past as well as real-life incidents which can be shared with the students to show how important these two values are. Another best example of Unity which can be shared with students is India's freedom struggle where the citizens of India stood together to drive the Britishers out of the country.

Courage and Patience - Adapters SHS

Patience and Courage leads to Victory

Raghu was very excited and happy to present a beautiful necklace to his mother with his first salary. He was on his way home from the jewellery shop, when he decided to take the shorter route home crossing the paddy fields.

The thought of his mother’s reaction overwhelmed Raghu, he once again took out the necklace to admire its beauty. The necklace shone in the sunlight, it sparkled and this blinding light reflected by the necklace made Raghu lose his balance.

He dropped flat on the field. As he recovered himself and got back to his feet, he noticed that he was no longer holding the necklace. He looked around in vain and finally he noticed a sparkle coming from one of the ditches in the field.

As he walks towards the ditch he finds the necklace but to his shock, there was a snake sitting in the same ditch! Raghu was very nervous and did not know how he should retrieve the necklace.

He instantly starts throwing stones hoping that the snake would slide out of the ditch. This did not work instead it seemed to aggravate the snake. Raghu felt helpless and afraid yet he decided to sit and wait patiently for the snake to leave the ditch.

Minutes turned into hours nut the snake did not move. Finally, Raghu came up with an idea. He collected a few sticks, twigs and straw from the field and placed them near the ditch. He took out a matchbox from his pocket and set the pile on fire.

The smoke and the heat generated by this fire forced the snake to slide out of the ditch bringing great joy to Raghu. He happily takes out the precious gift for his mother and walks home rejoicing.

This short incident shows how in life we are faced with many challenges and for which patience and courage are key to overcome the challenges. Raghu used his patience to escape his problems but when it did not work he used his courage to fight through his problem.

Sometimes in order to enjoy the fruit of life, we need to learn how to “Sow” the seed of patience, “Grow” the plant of courage which will bear the “Fruit” of victory.

Courage: Rahul Thakur

Courage is such a personal thing which comes in so many forms in need courage when I feel scared. It all about to stand up against to your fear, and say hey! I am willing to do to the battle. Then it’s up to you to do drive up the will, and that determination and that fight everyday go up there and be the best people that we can be.

Courage means brave and enough to face challenges which come in our path. In courage, braveheart is a powerful weapon to achieve victory in life.

We all heard the story of Milkha Singh life also teaches you to courage to move on. He was not even a teenager when he lost his parents in violent riots. That was disturbing for him, but he moved on and face the challenge with bravery and become one of India's most loved athletes. He teaches a lesson never take no for an answer when we are reaching your goals and face the fear and courage to move on.
