“Student life – Most precious for every human.”

If I was given a chance to go back to the past and live my life again, then, I would have probably gone back to that phase of my life when I was a student. That was the time when I enjoyed my life wholeheartedly without any worries. It was the best and most memorable stage in my life.

Student life is the most wonderful and unforgettable phase in every person’s life. It is that period which is the most enjoyable and most crucial for every individual. You get a chance to create such beautiful memories during this time that cannot be forgotten during your lifetime.

As a student, you learn the necessary skills to face the upcoming challenges in your life. You learn to differentiate between good and bad. The various contests organized during your school or college life help you to prepare for the real world and also teaches you to try up new and different things in life. This boosts your confidence. It also proves useful to improve your overall personality. The discipline that you learn during this period is the most important to live a respectable and successful life ahead.

Student life is not only limited to studies. But it involves so many different things other than studies. As a student, you get an opportunity to socialize with people of different personalities. You have to deal with the pressure of exams as well. You get a chance to show your excellence in several types of sports. You have to participate in various types of competitions organized in your school or college.

As a student, you have to juggle between varied tasks and give your best in each work. This teaches you time management and the value of time. You have to face many ups and downs during this time. So, you learn to fight your own battles and accept your defeat with gratitude. You also learn the importance of hard work to achieve your goal.

You learn good human values during your phase of life as a student. You get an actual idea of how people are in real and how society works in reality. You learn your social responsibilities and you become a better and responsible citizen.

You have to face many difficulties as a student as well. You make friends during your life as a student. But you also meet people who do not match your level of understanding and you end up fighting with them and treating them as your enemy.

You might sometimes feel depressed about certain things happening to you during your student life. But, remember there is always someone with whom you can talk about your problems. You have your wonderful friends and family. Just talk to them and overcome your problems and enjoy.

Student life is the most valuable phase in everyone’s journey of life. You get a chance to live it only once, as it never comes back again in the later stage of your life. So, it is essential to live this phase to the fullest.

“Stay strong. Be your own fighter!”

Life of every single person on this earth is filled with both happiness and sorrows.  Every person, rich or poor has to go through ups and downs in his life. Nobody’s life is easy and it is filled with challenges.

Everyone has to fight their own battles of life. During this period of struggle, you might feel weak and underconfident. You even sometimes feel like giving up on all your struggles. You feel that you are not able to fit in this competitive and fast-moving world. So, what can be done during this tough time? What you can do to fight the struggles of your life on your own?

1. Stay confident:
Confidence is the primary factor to win any struggle. It encourages you to stay focussed and motivated towards winning any fight. You should not let your confidence get affected due to any situation or person and try to improve your confidence through several methods.

2. Don’t rely on other’s opinions:
People are quite judgemental about your choices. They have opinions on your life. Sometimes their opinions make you feel low or you might regret your decisions. But, remember it is your life and you have the right to make decisions for yourself.

3. Learn to enjoy your company and stop finding happiness in others:
You came into this world alone and you are going to leave it alone. No one is actually with you except yourself. So, try to be your own companion. Do not depend on others for your pleasure. Try to be happy with whatever you own by yourself.

4. Remove the stress out of your life:
Stress could be a big hurdle in your battle of life. It can make you mentally and physically weak. Hence, you should have a positive approach to life. Try to neglect the negativity around you and be optimistic. Spend time with funny people, laugh out and do not take things seriously.

5. Practice yoga or some kind of physical exercise:
Whenever you do some type of exercise, you feel much better mentally and physically. Exercise makes you a stronger person. It has numerous health benefits and also it helps to relieve stress and uplifts your mood. Your psychological and physical strength will be helpful to fight battles on your own.

6. Adopt a productive hobby :
Try to refresh your mind by taking up some kind of hobby that will benefit you. Read a book, learn dance, write a diary, paint a picture or do any work that will keep your mind occupied. Such activities will enhance your creativity and imagination skills, keep you away from tension and make you a stronger person from within.

7. Don’t blame others for your failures:
You should take entire responsibility for your loss or failure. Blaming others for it is not a good sign. Work hard until you achieve success.

Remember life is full of struggle. It is never going to be easy for anyone. You have to fight against all the odds to live a happy and peaceful life. In this fight, you are actually going to be alone. So, just be brave and don’t give up too easily.

“Say yes to life and no to suicide.”

Suicide refers to the act of ending up your own life or killing yourself. A person who thinks of committing suicide may have various reasons behind it. In different countries of the world, suicide is considered a crime.

But why do people think of ending their own life? I am listing down a few situations that could be the potential causes of suicide.

● Some people are quite depressed about the way their life is going on. They may look happy externally, but internally they are going through tremendous pain. Such people lose interest in living their precious life and they might make a big decision of killing themself.

● When something tragic happens in someone’s life like death or accident of a loved one and he or she is not able to cope up with the loss, he might take up the huge decision of suicide. The pain of losing someone makes the person emotionally weak and vulnerable.

● When someone suffers from continuous failures in his life and is not able to accept his defeat, he might lose the desire to live his valuable life. His confidence is majorly affected due to such failures and this can encourage him to commit suicide.

● Sometimes, somebody has to face many difficulties in developing a strong bond with their loved ones. They might fail miserably in creating a good connection or face rejections in love. Such rejections could also be a reason for suicide.

How can we help the people who are thinking of taking such a big step of killing themself?

● A suicidal person has a lot of things going on in his mind which he cannot express freely. You should talk to such a person and just listen to what he has to say about his loneliness, sorrows, and anger.

● You should make a suicidal person feel that he is not alone. You should show affection towards him and be there with him. Help him in whatever way possible and try to make him happy.

● A suicidal person has negativity filled in his mind. His confidence and self-esteem are severely affected due to his past experiences. You shall try to be sympathetic towards him. Try to listen to his stories patiently and give your opinions. Be kind and try to generate positivity in his thoughts. Your words of encouragement might help him to restore his lost confidence.

● There are also different suicide helpline numbers that can be contacted to communicate and seek help by a suicidal person. You should always show your support for such a person and try to make him understand the worth of life.

You get to live only once and in this journey of life you shall live every moment to the fullest. You shall believe in creating good memories that can be cherished forever. Everyone has pain and sorrows in their life. But you should think of ending them rather than ending your own life.

A suicidal person shall always think twice before taking any wrong decision. Your decision will not only affect your life but also have a huge impact on your loved ones. Remember you have a family and friends who care for your life more than you do. So, at least think about them before taking any drastic step.

“Coronavirus: A great lesson for all!”

The coronavirus has affected all the sections of the society and the entire globe is battling with this invisible enemy. Today, all the people of the world are sailing in the same ship. Everyone is dealing with the fear of this pandemic and struggling with it.

Everybody is exercising, taking medication, avoiding physical contact with others, following safety measures and doing everything possible in order to remain safe from the virus.

While we are in the phase of fighting with this pandemic, we are getting to learn and experience so many different as well as new things about ourselves, others and our society.

Following are some things that we have learnt from the coronavirus:

● Life is very unpredictable. So it is very important to value each and every moment of our life and live it to the fullest. This virus has taught us to not take things for granted and respect them.

● In our normal life, we are so busy with our daily routine that we hardly get time to spend with our dear ones. But, this pandemic has brought us closer to our loved ones. People have understood the importance of family and friends and how crucial it is to communicate with them.

● We work hard to earn money. In the process of making money, we forget to look after our health. But, now we have finally understood that nothing is more important than our health. We need to take care of ourself and practice proper hygiene procedures in order to prevent us from falling prey to this deadly virus.

● Every one of us actually dreamt of taking a break from our hectic life. Now, the lockdown that has been implemented to slow down the virus has given us the time and opportunity to follow our passion and hobbies.

● This lockdown phase has shown us that nature can heal itself if there is minimal or no human interruption. The level of pollution has significantly reduced and wildlife has shown signs of happiness during this lockdown period.

● We have learnt from this pandemic that we can live our life happily and peacefully with the basic needs of life. All that you need to have is the ability and knowledge to use these facilities appropriately.

● The coronavirus has given us important lessons on fitness and exercise. You need to keep yourself fit and boost your immunity power by engaging in some of the other forms of exercise to stay away from this virus.

● This invisible enemy has shown us that many of the commercial works in this world can happen from your home, without actually being present at the site of work or office. ‘Work From Home’ can be implemented and it can give as good results as the office work does.

We cannot predict how our life will be, once this deadly virus completely vanishes from the entire globe. But, I am sure about one thing that life will never be the same as it was before coronavirus.

We need to accept and learn to adjust in this new life. This virus has definitely given us some valuable lessons in life and educated us about the things which we otherwise couldn’t have learnt or understood.
