Teaching_learning & achievement of excellence

Even after 19 years of teaching experience, I can hardly say that I have evolved as a good teacher. But certain self-corrective actions could produce good results. More preparation on the subject matter would place me as a better teacher. At least 2 hours of self-study is needed for bettering  content-delivery. A teacher should always be passionate about teaching a topic and start a topic with most interesting 'introduction'.. Class-room management is the biggest challenge in the life of any teacher. Class-room management starts with a pleasant, respectful and dignified ambiance within the class-room and such an ambiance is solely the creation of extraordinary leadership quality, art of rapport-building and teaching ability on the part of the teacher.  My recent experiences say that a teacher should also be a good administrator as well as a researcher. This abilities together make a good teacher.

 I need to sharpen the above-said qualities for my own satisfaction and for my own growth and development as a teacher.

I sometimes feel that I am in the right profession, and today's world of education has changed drastically and hence it is difficult to cope up with the enormous changes in culture, attitudes, economy, and political influences on life and lifestyles. All these changes originate from 'consumerist' attitudes towards lifestyle. These are hence the reasons for apathy for VALUES AND ETHICS in life and society....some people simply make fun of VALUES AND ETHICS...some people seek the shortest path to success and prosperity and create examples before others for making 'greed' a part and parcel of their lives.....

Colors of life..

Life can be compared to rainbow....seven different colors in togetherness...or 7000 colors..no end to that as we progress in life

Now
as a father,
as a husband,
as son-in-law,
as brother,
as a child and grandchild,
as a teacher
 as a learner
as a professional
as a friend..

lastly a lonely man walking with numerous waves of thoughts in brain...

I still love writing, but not managing time well

After along time, I feel like writing something for my friends. Managing time is one of the biggest challenges of modern living. Because of variety of demands of life, I am really at a loss about how to spend time well and effectively. Today I have decided that my daily time would be decided to the following domains:

1. remaining silent for continuous one hour in a day's waking hour
2. trying to perform well at the work-place  by doing at least 3 hours job
3. devoting time , thoughts and energy, min. 2 hours for writing, compting and research work
4. spending time with family members for discussion & entertainment : 2 hours
5. yoga and exercise for min. one hour
6. rest and sleep for 7 hours , beyond helping and counseling my students

There is a lot of mental stress for my failure to deliver the goods at the personal level. I blame myself for the same. WORK IS WORSHIP is the absolute truth for the material life and simultaneously, prayer to God is the only tonic for living a life beyond all logic and material considerations..... WORK WITH PLEASURE should be the guiding principle for me. Environmental factors and other disturbances should be fought with tact, diplomacy, politics, and mental avoidance...

To do or not to do...

Life is now bombarded with new inputs and situations and the mind is distracted. The net result of the day's work is almost zero....But at the end of the day  what really matters is that one should sincerely feel 'some contributions have been made' to family, customers and the society at large....
Through constant hard work, we shall be able to delete the areas of frustration and hopelessness from the inner mind...
At the same time, we should take time to relax and reflect on the things we work with , to correct our ways of doing things....
Continuous Quality Improvenment(CQI) should be made a way of living life.....
Simplicity is another virtue of living a peaceful life...

A new thing in life....'being one's own self'

From now onwards I shall be changing subject matter of writing in this blog. The focus will be on my experiences in life, especially my professional and social experiences fro last 24 years. I shall be discussing things I learnt from various events of life. Some of the recent experiences are

• it is impossible to satisfy everyone surrounding us
• perception is a relativistic phenomenon, where different persons view the same thing in different ways, sometimes in completely opposite in perception....
• fools only dance at the tune of everyone...
• it is always advisable to listen to the opinions of others, i.e. to be a good listener in every situation
• tall-talkers are always non-doers
• theory and practicals are basically north and south poles of the same magnet...
• people are inherently selfish, but a generous heart can bring about a lot of change
• Common sense combined with practical ideas and actions can do miracles in everyday life
• listening:talking should in the ratio of  9:1
• Love and respect are reciprocal in nature
• to be rich in a short time, one must be dishonest in one way or the other
• We should not preach others, we should preach ourselves... we should act according to the advice of ourselves
