From a Father and a Teacher to his child and his students

Being a Parent!

If you have never experienced the feeling of being hated by your child… you have never been a parent...

We as parents think that only our children grow... we seem to forget that we grow too... I have always believed that I cannot tell my son to reach for the sky... I can only try to reach my Son...

Sometimes I feel, I should have spent more time building my daughters self-esteem, then building my business..
I wish I’d let her curl her hand around my fingers then wasting my time pointing fingers at her
I wish I’d commented less and connected to her more often
I wish I’d told her more often “I Love you. When she returned home after curfew hours , then stared angrily at the watch”
I wish I had serious fun with her , then just being serious
I wish I’d done more hugging and less nagging..

Good Education: 
If you are looking to improve your standard of living by way of education, there is no way it will improve your quality of life…
But of you are looking to improve your quality of life, it’s the sure shot way of improving your  standard of living! That is what good education should be about...

A student once told his teacher:
Tell me and I am sure to forget.
Show me and I am sure to remember.
Involve me and I am going to understand.
