                                  ARE YOU HEALTHY? – THE FOUR PILLARS OF HEALTH                             “Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.”                                                                           William Shakespeare     It is rightly said – ‘ one who has health has hope and who has hope has everything ! ’ We must pay attention to our bodies and take due care because it is the only place where we live. To stay healthy has to be the prime objective of one and all.   When can we consider ourselves to be really healthy?    As a medical consultant, I have seen many patients who are n...

      EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION – The Missing Link   Albert Einstein once said: “Education is not learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think “.    Education for a college student is an academic field of study. A student chooses the area as per their interest & passion.    Education can be traced back to prehistoric and primitive cultures. Over the centuries, Education evolved in varied formats in different civilizations (viz., Ancient India, China, Egypt)   One of the most significant phenomena of the 20th century was the dramatic expansion and extension of public education systems worldwide—the number of schools and children attending them grew. Similarly, the subjects taught in schools broadened from the basics of mathematics to include sciences and the arts.    Over the years, Education has evolved all over the globe. With astounding strides in science, arts, technology and computer invasion – Educatio...

                                                         YOU ARE AN ATTITUDE AWAY FROM HAPPINESS   “The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind”.   (James Adams)   So true! Life is as we perceive it. Just look around us – happy people – have a positive attitude towards life. It is not the situation; our reaction to it defines our state of mind.   Arthur Ashe – a Wimbledon champion – ended up with a serious disease from which he was dying. Some fans asked him why GOD must select him for such a nasty disease. His answer was – “World over five crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakhs learn to play tennis, 50000 can enter the professional circuit. Five thousand reach the grand slam, and 50 reach Wimbledon, but only one lift...

                                                                               TRUST – A MAJOR CRISIS "Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships." ( Stephen Covey) The most crucial element for a lasting healthy relationship is Trust. It is like a fuel to a car. Trust is the foundation on which we build all our relationships. Whether it is relationships, organizations, nations, teams or civilizations, only Trust can bind everything together. The strongest of associations, powerful countries, powerful governments, and thriving economies have witnessed destruction due to breach of Trust.  Trust is a crucial link for effective communication. Our co...

                                                                                  THE MAGIC OF SILENCE   “Listen to Silence. It has so much to say.” – Rumi.   Silence comes from the Latin word silens, which means still, quiet or at rest. By and large, Silence is perceived as a period without speech or sound. However, Silence is not merely an absence of sound but a state of mind where one can disentangle from the  external milieu and focus within to contemplate what matters.    A lot of us are scared of Silence. Many of us interpret Silence in a conversation as “awkward” or somehow relaying a message that the conversation is not going well or that the relationship is not strong enough to keep the conversation going.
