Serene Roles!

Being human beings we as individuals have to play various roles at our respective ends throughout our life span. At times these roles are insignificant while at other times they become quite significant and can create wonders too.

However, there are certain serene roles which usually remain insignificant from our conscious mind while they hold their value at our back ends. These serene roles sometimes fulfill those goals of our life which remain out of our sight most of the time. We do get discouraged and heart broken but at the same time if we keep focusing on these serene and placid roles than we could never lose hope.

These serene roles are like being a father a person is also a mentor, doctor, teacher, his house engineer, his car mechanic, torch bearer of his family and leader of the house. Serene roles of a lady could be a mother, a teacher, doctor, mentor, trainer, counselor, strategic thinker and care taker of home and family throughout her life. There are other serene roles too besides family too. At our workplace we are not only doing our particular assigned job however at the same time we are developing a positive/ comfortable working atmosphere for our colleagues. A dependable and trustworthy employee for our boss etc etc. There are many such serene roles we keep playing simultaneously which are giving out light for others to follow.

Recognize the value and importance of these serene roles which are although passive in nature but have active outcomes on our personality and attitudes. Such serene roles keep us alive from inside, keep us motivated towards our goals and passions to follow consistently. 

Life brings new challenges by every passing day in front of us. Remain focused on these serene roles as they project our image and show us our reflection. How good as a person we are? Are we doing good enough for others? Have we done something worthwhile in life so far? Have we made ourselves competent enough to exploit appropriate opportunities for us? 

Keep reflecting on our placid roles in life and you will be able to conclude finally where we stand at this point of our age and time. These roles determine your future strategy in life too. They never let us feel down and an inner voice keep whispering in our ears, 

KEEP MOVING ON! DON'T LOSE HOPE! NEVER GIVE UP! KEEP STRIVING!

Life keeps on taking us towards diversified platforms and we come across versatile experiences throughout our journey. Each new opportunity opens new horizons of perceptions, experiences, ways and means to solve our problems and reach our solutions in life.

A new homeland is at every nook and corner of our life. Going through this process of consistent change has no end in itself rather culminates with each individual at the end of our life journey.

Nevertheless, each one of us views this new homeland in his or her own way and takes advantage out of it according to their own interest, requirements, motives and goals. This new homeland is meant differently to each one of us.

Another dimension of this new homeland is shifting, migrating and moving into another geographical boundry for good in life. The reason being its our birth right to look and stand up for better opportunities offered to us. Therefore, we remain in search of this new homeland and if it materializes for anyone of us he or she is definitely lucky enough to take more advantage from life, more new horizons are open for them, more benefits coming up towards them etc etc.

We are going towards this new homeland to have new experiences and new opportunities to polish our skills more, to develop into better individuals, to be better citizens and above all better human beings to serve more and more people and utilize our skills and education for the betterment of humanity and mankind as a whole.

Pedagogy in 21st Century! The Digital Era.

Pedagogy means the art and science of teaching. Therefore it addresses all types of skills, methods,strategies and models being exploited to deliver the education process to the students and educational stakeholders at large.

Fortunately, due to influx of technology boom and switching from analog technology into digital technology has brought the whole world at our finger tips with exponential level efficiency and speed. This digital experience is part of our daily routine now and we keep utilizing it according to our needs, requirements and understanding. Digital natives (generation who grew up with technology continues to evolve it today) while a Digital immigrant is an individual born before the existence of digital technology and adopted it to some extent in later life.

This huge change in technology has great impact on human life in the fields of education, business, economy, research, health, and entrepreneurship too. In education particularly technology demands creativity, innovation and higher order thinking skills to integrate in classroom teaching/learning process. Therefore, the traditional methodology of teaching is no more valid and reliable to lay our trust upon for future training of our children's education.

Contemporary pedagogical skills integration is not just confined to classroom teaching rather must focus on broader scale and influence the learner's life in global perspective to turn them into future leaders as technologists, educationists, doctors, business executives, entrepreneurs, social scientists, researchers and global citizens above all.

Learner centered teaching practices require three dimensional activities to be planned, modified and implemented in educational institutions, homes and life patters. Such programs and models must be thought provoking for our educational management consultants, educational stakeholders, higher education institutions and school managers/principals especially to reflect on their skills now.

We need to join hands together to face this global challenge now by invigorating our pedagogical skills in accordance with the 21st century skills to address the needs of digital age learner. Creating new culture in schools, colleges and universities with market driven and opportunity driven teaching and research platforms. Supervise and facilitate our businesses to provide new dimensions of experience to fresh employees in order to transform them into optimum performers. Social entrepreneurs primarily must provide new opportunities of growth and development to contemporary learner for a better tomorrow.

Pedagogy in 21st Century, the digital age is all about being global, being creative thinker and being an innovator to reach solutions of our problems through reflection and practice.

Are We Surviving Humans?

Life has become quite treacherous for each individual today and each one of us is looking forward for better growth and development opportunities in careers, professions, personal life, society and community, among peers, friends, seniors we always yearn for acknowledgment, success, influence, power and above all confidence to lead and control.

Human beings possess the innate desire of being recognized among his/her fellow beings and to cater this need we always explore and feel inclined naturally towards motives of self-worth. Hence, we keep looking forward for such opportunities around us which could bring us fame, success, confidence and fulfill our needs and ambitions which are worthwhile for our future goals in life.

The world has shriveled as far as the geographical distances are concerned on the contrary the life of each one of us is to a great extent full of problems, disease, desperation, frustration, stress, unnecessary desires etc. Somehow if we all manage to reflect on our life today in this modern technological/digital age the question arises that are we surviving humans like survival of the fittest or are we living in the real sense? 

Creating A Manuscript

A writer actually speaks through his/her writing with the audience he/she is intended to address. Each writer follows his/her own particular style of writing with a frame of mind to address a particular issue and creates a manuscript consequently.

Manuscripts have many types and formats like proposals including (project/research), articles, essays, narratives, paragraphs, books, research papers etc. These manuscripts hold their own style of communicating and have their own type of audience to read and understand it. Manuscripts prove to be influential and inspiring if they deliver according to the desire of its reader and provide a kind of insight to them. Manuscript portrays the mindset, attitude, clarity of thoughts and ideas of the writer. The more the writer possess clarity of mind the more the manuscript becomes influential and inspiring for its readers or vice versa.

The content in the manuscript should be original and valuable in nature. It must focus on the topic throughout the course of writing process. It should keep the interest of its reader alive, provide information about the given topic in a comprehensive manner, must prefer using simple language as it reaches hearts quickly.

Creating manuscripts is an art as well as a skill. Writing skills are one of the overpowering skills of a human being and is a product of human intellect and represents the intelligence of its creator.

Writing Patronage

It was a time when I was thinking of adding a new innovation to my profile in subtle manner. I thought of sharing my view point with my close friends, colleagues and seniors. Everybody gave me thumbs up and told me to move on in providing services.

The very next day, one of my friend who was working as senior consultant and delivering lectures in various fields of education told me that due to shortage of time he is unable to help out one of his students in his project so if he could refer the student to me whether you'll be able to cater him. I was immediately overwhelmed on this news and accepted the offer.

Next day that student came to me and shared his project with me and I thought of guiding him in completing his project which he has already pursued but he wanted some editing in it. Student shared with me that he was quite upset and in stress due to lack of professional assistance. We shared the whole plan of work and I accepted the payment offer made by the student because I was extremely interested in supporting students to improve their skills in writing.

Writing patronage is basically facilitating a student to move on further in his/her writing projects, assignments and papers. Students are actually beginners and sometimes lack in expression. Their writing doesn't depict clear expression, vocabulary, syntax and coherence among sentences. Their weak writing skills enhance their stress and frustration, in addition due to pressure of workload students usually either think of leaving their education programs or find themselves in a state of hopelessness.

I felt a deep satisfaction and contentment after viewing the smile and a sense of satisfaction on his face, that at least now there is somebody who can assist me in my assignment. I always wanted to be guide, a mentor and facilitator for students as I remained a teacher.

I believe this writing patronage would ensure more students towards improving their writing skills and working hard on their projects and become self reliant in future to manage their projects successfully.

My Dreams My Goals!

Dreams are not just confined to those images, sensations and thoughts which we envision during our sleep rather dreams are also all those ambitions, driving forces, desires and motivations which we hold during our life to attain success.

Dreams provide us a new hope with every new sunrise and bring in new challenges, opportunities to learn and grow, new dimensions to plan and progress.

Older dreams disappear and new dreams take their place.

Our whole life goes through different stages e.g. childhood, teenage, adulthood, middle age and then finally we enter into old age. If we observe closely we realize and understand that each one of us irrespective of age group, gender and class we have our plans, objectives, ambitions to lead us through the life journey. There are also those who don’t have any particular set goal or dream in their life but they do hold some type of short term plans to pursue on either day to day basis or may be for some more time. It depends on our own personality that how much bigger picture we can see ahead to move on in life, therefore each one of us have different dreams and goals. One dream may be most important for you but it might not be of same importance for another person.

Our dreams and goals always give us reasons to live, feel, enjoy, understand, manage, boost our confidence and lead towards a better future.
