The HOPE Coaching

ओं में 80% पाने वाले बच्चे लोगों की नज़र में हीरो होते थे. 1990 के दशक में हाईस्कूल और सेकंडरी परीक्षाओं में 90% पाने वाले बच्चे लोगों की नज़र में हीरो होते थे. 2012 में हाईस्कूल और सेकंडरी परीक्षाओं में 100 % पाने का भी कोई मतलब नहीं रहा.

उंच-नीच पर आधारित व्यवस्था में नीचे गिरने का भय नहीं तो और क्या है जो इस सामूहिक पागलपन को जन्म दे रहा है ? क्या यह ज्ञान और शिक्षा का बढ़ता हुआ बोझ और समय की बढ़ती हुई कमी नहीं है जिसने माता-पिता और शिक्षकों को नई पीढ़ी का स्वाभाविक दुश्मन बना डाला है ? यह तो स्पष्ट है कि अगर इस स्थिति में बदलाव नहीं आया तो इस पीढ़ी के बच्चे अपने बच्चों के और भी बड़े दुश्मन होंगे.

सवाल यह नहीं है हम और फोकस्ड कैसे हों ? सवाल यह है कि अब और क्या करें ?

A letter from Abraham Lincoln to his son’s head master17092004
I published this because I liked the beauty of expression and the gravity of the essence…. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the united states of America (1861 – 1865) is one of the world’s great statesmen for all time. Here is a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the head master of his school in which his son was studying, a letter so typical of the man who bore malice towards none and had charity for all. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero: that far every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader…

Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. It will take time, I know a long time, but teach, if you can, that a dollar earned is of more value then five of found. Steer him away from envy, if you can, teach in the secret of quiet laughter. Teach him, if you can the wonder of books…But also given quiet time wonder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hillside. In a school teach him, it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat…

Teach him to have faith in his own idea, even if anyone else tell him they are wrong…

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with tough. Teach him to listen to all men…But teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good one that comes through. Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in tear. Teach them to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidder but never to put a prize tag on his heart and soul. Teach him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes the fine steel. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself because then he will always have some sublime faith in mankind. This is a big order, but see what can you do… He is such a fine little fellow, my son!
