MY DEAR students, (Class XII- 2010-2011)
You are the threshold of a new beginning. You are going to be an adult soon. School time is over and childhood days are gone…no more restrictions, no more instructions by teachers, principal or parents. Now is the time of Freedom and only Freedom …… Wow…….! But remember Freedom brings responsibility and accountability. Don’t forget that. Ok.
Dear, it has been said that your attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference. I agree with that, and I believe that there are a handful of other small things too that make a huge difference.
Well, that’s what this letter of mine is all about…I am going to tell you about those little things in life that make a huge difference
I am going to give some tips how to live a successful person in your life:
Life is worthwhile if you TRY.
There are a few things that make 80% of the difference. Just pay attention to those things.
The difference between triumphant success and bitter failure lies in the degree of our commitment -_______ to seek out, study and apply those few things. Here are a few of them:
Learn to be Happy
Happiness is activity with purpose
It is love in practice
It is both a grasp of obvious and the mysterious.
Discipline Yourself
Discipline is the most critical ingredient for success.
It is the master key that unlocks the door to wealth and happiness______ the glue that binds inspiration to achievement________ the bridge between thought and accomplishment.
Remember my dear that we must all suffer from one of two pains:
The pain of discipline or
The pain of regret.
The difference is
Discipline weighs ounces
While regret weighs tons…..
Choice is yours. Make the best choice. I trust you are wise enough!
Embrace Change
Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.
You can change all things for the better when you change yourself for the better.
You can’t change your Destination overnight, but you can change your DIRECTION.
Live Well
Don’t just learn how to earn………..Learn how to live.
The good life is not an amount.
It is an attitude, an act, an idea and a discovery.
REMEMBER always_____________:
Life is worthwhile if you TRY
TRY to make progress.
TRY your best.
LIFE is worthwhile if you GIVE
GIVING starts the receiving process
LIFE is worthwhile if you PLAN
DESIGN your own life or someone else will
Let others lead small lives but not YOU
Let others argue over small things but not YOU
Let others argue over small things but not YOU
Let others cry over small hurts but not YOU
Let others leave their future in other people’s hands but not YOU
Be the master of your future, design it yourself and I know of course I am confident that you can……..
My dear, one of the most successful inventors Thomas Alva Edison once said “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” And he was right.
Never give up whatever hurdles may come on your way to success. If you are determined to achieve you will surely achieve…. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Never Cry
And if you have to, remember the following stanza of a popular song:
When you cry be sure to dry your eyes
‘Cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide
Don’t let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride
Don’t show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone
And when you dream, DREAM BIG
As big as the ocean blue
‘Cause when you dream it might come true
Be bold and face the challenges with DIGNITY.
I wish you all the success in your life!!!!
