So students what is common in the above mentioned eminent personalities i.e. Steve Job, Jack ma, Colonel sanders  & J K Rowling ?

They are glaring examples of never give up attitude and those who denied their failure.

You may be the only person left who believes in you but its enough. It just takes one star to Pierce the universe of darkness..... never give up.

We feel like giving up at some point in our lives, in the various journeys that we undertake. Sometimes we give up even before we start and other times most crucially We tend to give up just before we are about to make a huge big breakthrough

 

But we should realize that our hardest times often leads us to the greatest moments of our lives. Keep going should be our mantra.

Tough situation helps in building strong people. We should not fear failure but rather fear not trying.

Anything is possible as long as you are alive healthy and free. You have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed but yes you have to be realistic

The words give and up should never be used together. Being part of human kind you are one of the most enthusiastic and strongest beings to have ever walked on the earth. To taste success you are always faced with temporary defeats, just always keep in mind if you give up at these defeats you will fail but if you keep going you will become successful and here are reasons why you should never give up.

 

•      You have everything you need.

•      You are alive and for you nothing is impossible.

•      You need to prove it to yourself.

•      Success feels great.

•      It could change for the better.

•      You will learn a lot from not giving up.

•      You deserve happiness and success.

•      Failure is normal

So dear students always remember it is always the darkest before Dawn. So stay true to yourself ,work hard and never give up on your dreams even when Nobody Else believes in them. These are not clichés but real tools. 

No matter what you do in life always stay focused on your path and NEVER GIVE UP..... 

 

National Science Day

“Science for the people and The people for science”- This is the 2019 theme of National Science Day celebrated all over India today.  It encourages us to make science an integral part of people’s lives.

Every year we celebrate this day by introducing the Eureka Idea Box, but this year due to your exams starting early, we have already done that.  So if all of you have put your creative ideas into the box, you have done your bit to expand your mind.

Cultivate your curiosity because curiosity gives rise to questions, questions give rise to ideas, ideas help form theories, theories are proved or disproved by experiments and these experiments give rise to scientific discoveries and inventions.

All of you know that National Science Day was celebrated to commemorate this day in 1930 when the Nobel Prize was awarded to our Dr.Chandrashekhar Venkata Raman for discovery of the Raman Effect.  But do you know how he discovered it?  It is said that while returning from England aboard a ship, Dr. Raman was standing on the deck contemplating the blueness of the Mediterranean Sea, when an entirely new explanation for the phenomenon struck him..  This was his “Eureka” moment and he discovered the Raman Effect.

I wish to take this time for highlighting the  various ideas and projects that have won acclaim for the school in the field of Science.  A Smart Gas leakage detector made it to the National Round of CBSE Science Exhibition while and unusual combination of farming techniques called Tratek Farming made it to the Nationals of the Children’s Science Congress (NCSC).  An idea on modernization of Age Old Techniques to suit today’s world won us an award at DRDE while the idea of an app based smart dustbin and a multipurpose ladder won us national acclaim at the Inspire Awards.

So keep your mind open, let the ideas flow freely. Be curious, be hungry for ideas, seek explanations and in all keep the scientific spirit alive.

Happy National Science Day!!!
