Plan out your work, then work out your plan.
The former without the latter is a sheer waste.
The latter without the former is mere unproductive confusion.
—Swami Chinmayananda
In all worthwhile undertakings, There will be risks of failure, of disappointments, of even disaster. To face them all with inner poise and firm faith is to discover the glory of final victory.
—Swami Chinmayananda
“Negative thoughts weaken men. Do you not find that where parents are constantly taxing their sons to read and write, telling them they will never learn anything, and calling them fools and so forth, the latter do actually turn out to be so in many cases? If you speak kind words to boys and encourage them, they are bound to improve in time.”-Swami Vivekananda

Celebrated with a lot of gaiety Teachers' Day always stands out in the minds of both the teachers and children as a special day where in this year was made even more special by the wishes that poured in from both children and parents . The WhatsApp groups were flooded with greeting cards made with lots of love. Each wish was so special that the teachers were overwhelmed. The love expressed by the children made the teachers feel blessed and felt as if they were at school as usual. The teacher gives children a purpose, sets them up for success as citizens, and inspires them to do well and succeed in life. As the quote says "one child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world".
