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.

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.
