Impressionable Minds – a blog for children & parents

Every Sunday there is supplement in the Times of India called the ‘Speaking Tree’. I am sure many of you must have seen or read it.I for one really like to go through the supplement.Sometimes the articles are worth reading.Today there is one by Robin Sharma-I love to read what he writes.

This is by him.  -To live your life to the fullest,start taking more risks and doing the things that you fear.The real secret of life is to start spending your time pursuing opportunity.Life is all about choices. You can choose to spend your days sitting on the shore of life  in complete safety ,or ,you can take some chances,dive deep into the water and discover the pearls that lie waiting for the person of true courage.

Isn’t this completely true.It is simpler to walk on trodden path than to take the unknown path. Remember on the other side of fear lies freedom.You just have to stay focused  on your goal. This is what we have to teach our children. Never  ever say NO. If we don’t try how will we ever know what the result would be.Remember -failure is nothing more than learning how to win.The path may be risky,but,that’s where all the fruit is.

So my dear children ‘try, try and try’ -never give up.If you don’t try the unknown you will never know whats on the other side….Your PEARLS OF WISDOM -to live life to the fullest.

Dear parents you have to guide your children . Always be there for them if they faulter on the way.

Just look at this beautiful video – remember try try you will succeed :

Believe in yourself and all that you are.Know that there is something inside that is greater than any obstacle  .                        Christian D Larson

Believe in yourself and have faith in yourself.There is nothing wrong in thinking you are the best.Only if you have a high self esteem will you be able to do things for yourself and others. Do things with faith   that you are capable, be ready yo accept the outcome.Be happy to accept others.Remember each one is good at something.Be proud to be YOU. Never ever say I can’t I am no good  

” Happiness comes from within and is found in the present moment,by making peace with the past and looking forward to the future.”    From the book www,lovetoyouvolumeone.com

What we have to do is-Forgive and Forget-Many a time we get angry with someone for something they did  which we did not like and just keep it in mind.Every time we meet that someone the same thought of anger comes back.Do you know who is the sufferer?- Its YOU.Remember to live in the present and not in the past .Look forward to the future.Learn from your mistakes .Life is too beautiful and short -so forget the past and move on.One door closes only to open another one.

‘ Dont take people for granted.No matter how much they love you,people get tired                   eventually.’

Remember everyone likes to be thought about and appreciated for what they do.Remember the magic word -Thank You-.A smile and a hug to show you care.

Hi mums,

This section is for you.Simple things to remember and not take things for granted.Remember time waits for no one.We become so busy with our lives that there is really no time to think.Sometimes we  work just like zombies,without thinking we just continue to work.Its really a good idea to just sit for a short while  each day and just be there for yourself. What i am going to do is just write simple quotes i have read.May be you can use them to explain to your kids when you want them to do something.

‘If you dont go after what you want,you will never have it.If you dont ask, the answer is always no.If you dont step forward,You”re always in the same place.’

Nora Roberts

Isnt that a fact.Our aim should be to try always-try- something will always come out of it.

Remember try ,try and you will succeed.Never say no.

              You just have to  ask and move forward.Dont wait for things to come to you.You have to make the effort.
