Be the change that you wish to be. Reflect on the statement.

Change is the natural law of nature. There is nothing in the universe that can exist without changing to fit itself to the surroundings which is continuously changing. A change can be as small as the changing of colors of radium when stroked with photons or it can be as big as the expansion of universe and change of climate. In nature, it is usually observed that it is not required to force a substance to bring a change to itself, but humans require a catalyst to force themselves to bring a change. This is one of the reasons that the saying "be the change that you wish to be" can be heard since thousands of years. 

In the modern times, we have significantly reduced physical work from our daily routine. This has led to an increase in many diseases like diabetes and obesity. Since almost all of our work can be done with the help of computers and machines, humans barely need to do any labor. The adults are aware of it, but because of their busy schedule many could not even set aside time for physical exercise and medication. These are necessary for a healthy body and mind, but incorporating these simple yet crucial changes to our lifestyle poses great difficulty. One solution can be guessed, that is to make children develop the habit of regular exercise. Awareness needs to be raised about school fitness programs so that students can live a healthy life. 

My school always focused on academic and was known to produce the brightest minds in the town. There were not even sports classes, so fitness programs were beyond expectations. Fortunately, my sister was a practicing doctor, who never missed a chance to educate me how to follow a healthy diet and have a healthy body. It is thanks to her lessons and long lecturers that I was able to develop a habit of regular exercises and started avoiding junk food. Early meditations helped me clear my mind and set a list of daily objectives which I worked hard to achieve. I already had my daily schedule planned out, so it was easier for me set aside time for everything. I was able to study efficiently and was able get good scores on my test. When I was asked by friend about my secret of scoring good marks in every test, I told them it was all because I focus not only on my studies but also keeping my body healthy and fit. Seeing the results which I produced, many students followed my advice and started doing regular exercises. The students also proposed this to the principal and the school started conducting fitness programs regularly, which also improved the overall results of the school.

I was happy that I could be the change which inspired many others to change and improve themselves. It is important to note that academics is not everything and physical fitness should always be given first priority. Our lifestyles do not allow us to make time for such simple things like regular exercise, but if children develop the habit of daily exercise, they can continue it for many years. Imagining the society is quite easy, but it takes lots of efforts to change the society how we want it to be. And the first step is always to bring that change in ourselves.

The feeling of pride, though common to every sapience being, can be found excessively in ambitious men and women.

Macbeth Personal Notes: Act 1 Scene 3 (Part 2/2)

Macbeth Personal Notes: Act 1 Scene 3 (Part 2/2)   "Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. Not so happy, yet much happier. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none." The witches mean that though Banquo will be lesser in rank than Macbeth, he will be morally higher. Banquo will be less successful than Macbeth, but he will be satisfied with his life and do not have to worry about someone taking his position. Banquo will be the father of the kings though he himself will not get the chance to be one. Witches vanish When Macbeth hears the witches predict about his future of becoming the Thane of Cawdor and eventually king, and Banquo's prediction of becoming the father of kings, he asks the witches how these predictions will come true and how the witches have come to know about their future. He also asks them that why had they chose them to stop on the way to the Foress and talk about their futures.  The witches chose not to answer Macbeth's questions and vanish into the air. ...

Narrate an experience that shows appearances can be deceiving

Image
A person standing in the railway station dressed in a good looking attire It is a common habit of humans to make judgements at the first look. It does not matter if we are seeing a person or a thing for the first time, our minds do not need to take a second look before coming to a judgement. If we look at a person, we quickly look at his clothes and shoes and come to the assumption that he is poor or rich. The same is the case with things, we decide for ourselves whether a substance is expensive or cheap just by its glittering and glistening. Over time, many learned personalities have taught us to "not judge a book by its cover." Through his various plays and writing, William Shakespeare, the popular eighteenth-century English writer, has sent the message to not fall for outward appearances. I have recently expereinced an incident that explains why is it important to not rely on just outward appearances to make a judgement about a person. I was travelling by train during my s...

Write a short story in which a little girl, her brother and the school bully are the main characters

Write a short story in which a little girl, her brother and the school bully are the main characters   “Do it fast! I need the homework completed by the next period,” demanded Abhay from me. “I am doing it as fast as I could and anyway it is your homework. Why should I be the one to complete it?,” I replied. “Look at you. You think you could talk to me back,” he said with a punch that hit my nose very hard. It has been three weeks since I got transferred to my town’s only english middle school which my sister also attended who was a year older than me. Since the day I came here, I had been bullied by Abhay, a fat ugly-looking stubbornly idiot classmate of mine.  At first, he only made me do his homework occasionally, but it got worse when the teacher suspected the same handwriting in two notebooks and asked me about it. I had said that I was made to do his homework and he was scolded by the teacher, but that scolding had little effects on his stupidly big head, which I am sure...

Abhisara - the Tryst Notes

Image
Upagupta, the disciple of Buddha, lay asleep in the dust by thr city wall of Mathura. Lamps were all out, doors were all shut, ans stars were all hidden by the murky sky of August. Whose feet were those tinkling with anklets, touching his breast of a sudden? He woke up startled, and the light from a woman's lamp fell on his forgiving eyes. It was Vasavadatta the dancing girl, starred with jewels, Clouded with a pale blue mantle, drunk with the wine of her youth. She lowered her lamp and saw the young face, austerely beautiful. 'Forgive me, young ascetic,' said the woman, 'Graciously come to my house. The dusty earth is not a fit bed for you.' The young ascetic answered, 'Woman, go on your way; When the time is ripe I will come to you.' Suddenly the black night showed its teeth in a flash of lightning.  The storm growled from the corner of the sky, and the woman trembled in fear. A year had not yet passed. It was eveing of a day in April, in the Spring. The b...

The scene starts with the First Witch asking where the other witches were. The Second Witch answers that she had been killing swine as a leisure ac...

"No other subject taught in school is as important as Moral Science." Express your views for or against this statement

Image
For the statement "No other subject taught in school is as important as Moral Science." Express your views for or against this statement A school is where the youngsters are taught the fundamentals in every major subject. They are taught Mathematics, Science, English, Computer Science, and regional language - in India Hindi is taught in most schools. Children till primary schools are taught Moral Science, but in higher grades, it needs to be given more or sometimes no attention. The school forgets how this important subject can help the students to become a better person.  Children are enrolled in schools at an early age. They do not know the ethics and behaviours at such an age. Therefore, it is the responsibility of both - schools and the parents - to teach the children these basic yet important lessons. A person without ethics is no better than a non-living rock. Trees also have ethics; every living organism does. Therefore, it becomes crucial to teach the children the eth...

The purpose of such fair is usually trade and to exhibit and sell village handicrafts. Describe one such fair.   A fair is a gathering where people from different parts come and join to celebrate a festival, season or a good harvest. In the modern cities, fairs are held almost every week. Some of them are trade fair, science fair, book fair or others. In the villages, fairs are held once a year typically at the time of the harvest and on a large scale.  Village fair are very different from the ones held in cities. They are not held at regular intervals throughout the year but once or twice a year. They are not held to display and sell latest products, nor for product advertisements. They are simple yet fun. The true meaning of fair is to celebrate the happiness and celebrate it with others. This cannot be found in the city fairs no matter how har...
