EVERY DAY COUNTS

“Yesterday is gone,

Tomorrow has not yet come

We have only today

Let us begin.” – Mother Teresa

 In the morning assembly the “OnTime All the Time” and the “Eco Friendly class” certificates were distributed. The punctuality certificate is given to the class when all the students in that class come on time for the entire month. The clean classroom certificate is given only if the class is litter free throughout the month.  The class leaders came up with pride, and collected the certificate. A group photo was taken. When I addressed the students, I told them that our success depends on what we do on a daily basis. Only if all the students come on time on all the working days, will the class get the punctuality certificate. Only if all the classroom is found clean on all the days will the class get the eco-friendly certificate.

 That student, who has the discipline to do his daily studies will score high marks. The one who practices the sport every day will win the race. The one who is a voracious reader will expand his mind, enhance his vocabulary and develop good communication skill. The one who polishes his shoes every night and irons the uniform neatly, will not only be noticed for his smart turn out, but will also develop a good personality. The one who wakes up early every day will have enough time to come to school on time. The one who listens to the teacher in the class will be able to clear the doubts of his classmates and also score high marks. The one who excels in all of these will become the school leader!

 What you do on a daily basis becomes your habit. Greatness does not come from what you do once in a way. Repetition is the only way to become the master of your life. You should always aspire to be at your best. Don’t look at yourself as an ordinary person. Unless you work on yourself you will not know that you have the power to become extraordinary. Keep the student in you alive. At sixty, I am still a student. Growth happens only if we keep learning. I implement whatever my teacher teaches. Not because my teacher is watching me, but because I want to be worthy of my teacher. Not everyone is blessed with a good school and a great schooling. When you have it, don’t miss it. Everyone must choose one of the two pains; the pain of discipline or the pain of regret, choose wisely. One brings growth and success and the other pulls you down and makes you a failure. “Carpe Diem”- Seize the day. Make every day count!

“Before giving your time to anything

Ask yourself,” Is it worth my time?”

Because, where your time goes

There your future comes.” – mahatria Ra
