Editorial

Everyone has a will to win but very few have

the will to prepare and win. Most people

spend more time planning a party or vacation

than planning for their future. Preparation is

the necessary edge to succeed in any field.

“You sow a thought you reap an action

You sow an action, you reap a habit

You sow a habit you reap a character.”

It all starts with a thought This very

inspirational thought helps us to be motivated

in our life. As a teacher it is inevitable to sow

these seeds. We are proud that we sow these

seeds in students at a tender age. This second

issue highlights our success in academics and

sports. It has been more than a decade since

our school is fulfilling its aim.

It is a matter of pride that we are outstanding

in all these fields and motivating our students

to build a society filled with optimism and

love. As a teacher we have to mould young

minds and sow seeds of a better life. We

need to take these steps at the correct time,

preferably at a tender age, rather than

promote the idea of success as a measure of

one‟s monetary value.

We as educators need to take a more

pragmatic approach that is to inculcate in the

younger generation, a sense of self belief and

empathy towards everyone in the society.

Ms. Annie Kurien

From Principal’s Desk

When one believes the phrase “you are what

you think”, life truly reflects from one‟s

thoughts. As we cannot rely purely on

thoughts; we must translate thoughts into

words and eventually into actions in order to

manifest our intentions.

Most people repeat in their minds negative

words and statements concerning the

situations and events in their lives, and

consequently, create undesirable situations.

Words can both build or destroy. It is the

way we use them that determines whether

they are going to bring good or harmful

results.

Imagine that you are swimming with your

friends in a swimming pool. They swim

fifteen rounds, something you have never

done before, and since you want to win their

respect, you want to show them that you can

make it too.

You start swimming, and at the same time

keep repeating in your mind, "I can do it, I

can do it...". You keep thinking and believing

that you are going to complete the fifteen

rounds.

In a different situation, you might find

yourself repeating, "I cannot do this", "It's

too big for me", "It is not going to work out",

and consequently, lose ambition, motivation

and faith, and actually bring about what you

said to yourself.

Repeating positive statements help you focus

your mind on your aim. By using this

process consciously and intently, you

influence your mind, and in turn, it

transforms your habits, behaviour, attitude,

and reactions, and even reshape your life.
