Positive Thinking - Part 2 - K Bhanumoorthy

Instead of having expectations with negative thinking, the student should have thought with open mind and positive thinking. Then there would have been every possibility to correct  himself/herself.

Here are Positive ideas /Thinking which would have helped the student

1 .As I am studying well and regular in studies, quarrel between my

    Parents have been getting reduced.

2. As I am being a good student, I get good friends.

3. I am able to achieve the target /aim, by maintaining good health.

4. I do clarify doubts then and there from the subject teachers, so able  

     to  understand  and  learn in a better way.

5. I do respect and love my elder sister and elder brother, so they extend   

    support  and  help  in my studies.

6. I am friendly with my neighbour and have cordial relation with others  

     thereby  I do get help from them.

7. The student who is sitting by the side of me is being corrected then and

     there  when  a mistake is committed; results in, we two learn easily.

8. Since I approach the other people with right attitude, my problems

     are  heard,  I am being helped.

To sum up ,the student might not have lacked behind other students, had he thought with POSITIVE THINKING (note), he /she would have succeeded in studies , why in studies in life too. There ends the discussion.

Conclusion:  In life skills one of the important points is “SELF AWARENESS” which deals with

a)  Areas where strong and weak;

 b) Conscious about health, good character;

c)  Likes and dislikes.

A Chinese proverb to ponder over:

“He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey,

   He who blames himself is half way there

   He who blames no one has arrived.”  

A positive thinking makes any one happier and  more  resilient.

Positive Thinking - By K Bhanumoorthy

Reference:  From an article published in Tamil weekly magazine .The contents are very interesting and related to board examination results. I would like to share the matter which is related with academic and progress of students in studies.

This write up is on, the pass percent of a school in board examination. A conversation between a School Head  (SH)  and  another person .The SH was asked ,the pass % of the school,  the answer was “ not bad , though not got 100%  results.“  In continuation, SH presumed and said that there is deterioration, in positive thinking of school students. The reason for such a statement was that the SH has seen the marks obtained by a below average student. The student was asked to give the reasons for the less marks. The SH was shattered and shocked to hear the reasons.  Here were the reasons stated by the student.

·        Had my parents not quarreled while studying, I would have got more Marks.

·        Had I got good friends, I would have clarified doubts with them.

·        Had I acquired good health, still more marks I might have secured.

·        Had my teachers taught much better in an effective way, I might have secured more.

·        Had my elder sister and elder brother helped in my studies, some more marks I would have  scored.

·        Had my neighbor kept TV volume low, I would  have  paid more attention in studies.

·        Had the student who has been sitting by my side, paid due attention, I also would have paid more attention.

·        Had I got opportunities to clarify/speak in class, I would have solved my problems in subjects, attained better position getting some more marks.

These are some of the aspects and reasons listed by the student seem to be correct and justifiable, for his age. Yet! ……
