Why should you write?

Have you ever wonder why did you start writing? Or if you're not a writer, why should you start writing?

I'm not here to teach you what to write and how to write as i, myself, do not know what should i be writing! Funny, isn't it? I started writing because back then, i had attraction to these blog things, being an inspiration for someone and having your own blog. Soon, i understood it takes too much effort to write something creative, something which you can say your own written stuff.

What i write is no creative stuff but i just pen down my own thoughts. Thoughts about my own life, about problems i see around myself and their solutions i think of. I don't post any of them here, though. :D

There are so many advantages of writing. Once you start penning down your thoughts, you would see, how much of your thoughts worth it, where your mind is going and what you should do. It gives a clear picture of what you're thinking and how you can change the way you think. This is how, you can develop your personality. Writing makes you think about other people's perspective, their views and thoughts.

If you're not writing, start writing. Not to post on social media, or on your blog if you owe one, but for yourself. Start writing on your phone, on your personal diary, or wherever you find it suitable to write.

 If you think you're a good writer and can write well, go on and post those creation on your social media and ask people to check it. This will help you gain confidence in yourself. This will not only you but to your readers as well.

Penning down your thoughts can decrease your mental stress and improve your health. It can help you fight mental illness and depression.

How much you should write?

There is no limit for it as long as you're not doing it for content writing. Write when you feel like. Two lines, a paragraph or three pages long article. It solely up to you. 

In the beginning, you would feel giving up but trust me, it will become one of your best habit one day. If you feel like quitting, think of the reason why you started. If you can start it, you definitely continue it.

Give yourself a reason. Do it for yourself, for your inner-self. If you can't find a reason, create one and start writing.

Besides reading, i feel, writing is the most creative thing i know and follow. I'm not an expert as i too am learning it.

The purpose behind writing this is to inspire young minds to write more. Another thing, it's been a very long time since I've posted anything on my blog. I'm doing this for my dying blog also. Hopefully, I'll try to post more on it from now onward. 

Keep writing, keep reading and keep smiling.

P.S.  There are still 23 days left for the new year. Start a new habit in this year to make it count in the list of achievements for 2017. ;)

Education, Exam & Life

Hello, folks!! Missed me?
I missed my Google+ followers, my fellow blogger friends and some interesting incidents that might happen when I was gone. But, today I won’t make you feel bored with my stupid thoughts about what I did and blah blah.

Yeah, it’s been a long, very long time since I have written anything here. I was kind of busy with my college work but now I do have some time to restart my blog and to write something that I really wanted to share with you.

As this is the month of March, if you lives in India it is the month of final exams for the student of class/grade 10th and 12th (equals to Diploma and/or +2). Students, parents and moreover their other family members too are worried about these so called "Board exams" as it will affect their dream career. For the 10th-grade student, it will decide which stream he is going into, and for the 12th-grade student, it will decide the college/university and it have to be a good one as it eventually brings students one step closer towards their dream academic career.

P.C. :- Google

In news, on social media and everywhere, you would have seen everyone wishing them luck and giving tips about how to react to this exams, how to overcome the stress and much more such type of questions. Every year, we create a hype that it's "Board exam". We generally advise students to concentrate and focus on their study. But what about them? Do they really want to study the whole day or few hours in a row? Is it really necessary?

We look at exams if it is some kind of devil. Students hate it. Parents hate it more. When I told people that I love exams, they stare at me as if I have told them some offensive word. Waking up all the night just to remember those boring years, boring(!) history and then stupid (!?) science and geeky mathematics!! I always find every subject interesting. We find exams boring but right now, I want to talk about those questions and not exams. I am promising myself to write a whole post about exams. Now, let's go back to the question.

No! It's not. If a student doesn't want to study and if he doesn't want to read his textbooks, no one can make him read it. Parents/teachers can only make him sit with a textbook. His mind won't pay any attention to the words he is reading. Rather, it would wander around thinking about his last dream he saw that night or to the sound of the song playing nearby. And this is not just limited to it. Parents think it would provide a good and peaceful atmosphere to their son to read if they snatch his phone and cut the cable connection from TV for that period. Okay fine! They too sacrifice their urge to watch a TV but the point is they don't let their son/daughter free time to do his favourite activity. They are afraid of their son getting distracted.

Also, students pressurise themselves by thinking of what they would do they get fewer marks. They try to read more but can't concentrate properly. And at some point, they feel tired of reading. They need extra activities that can refresh their mood. It's when parents start thinking that their son is not studying. He just wants to spend time on social media and talking to friends over WhatsApp/Facebook. He doesn't care about their efforts and don't respect them. While in real, the scene is so different.

Sometimes, students also are at fault. They get wrong motivations from internet memes and quotes made only for fun. They start believing it just to manipulate themselves only. Education is necessary and when you don't have anything beforehand, it can help you achieve your goals. There are many examples of the great businessman, entrepreneur and such big personalities who once don't have anything.  They made it by themselves. But, the key point is while looking at their picture, we only look at the brighter side. We only look at their today's position. We forget to see the dark side.

I asked few of my friends who are really good at killing time (yes, the kill time) why they don't study. We got into a debate and then suddenly they got this excuse that looking at the list of richest people of the word, you'd find half of them as college dropouts. Okay, fine! They are college dropouts but have you look at their careers? They left colleges because they already have found their passion and their way to fulfil their dreams. They were the best at some unique field and that's what made them who they are today.

Wrong Motivation!

Parents get worried if their son got fewer marks in an exam but it's legit. Everyone wants their children to be super rich and successful in life cause that's how we have imagined a happy and well-satisfied life. And when it comes to this Board exam, they'll definitely get more worried about it. But take it easy, parents!! If your son has passed so many exams with good marks as he has done before. Trust him like you did it before! He just wants you by his side and I am sure he will prove that to you. Not every student can top the rank list. If your son gets good marks, congrats him and tell him, well done! But in case, he fails to achieve what you were expecting, encourage him instead of scolding. This is the time when he will need you the most. Stay by his side and

Dear students, I know, your parents have so many expectations from you. They want you to be the topper of your school. But, only you know how much you can achieve. Don't lie to them and not to yourself as well. Try to give your one hundred percent and don't worry about the results. If you will give your one hundred percent, no one can beat you. This is not the final exam. You've faced so many exams before and you'll face many others in the future. It's just a simple exam but keep in mind to motivate yourself that this can let you fulfil your dream one day. If you get good marks, the journey ahead will be more fun. In case you don't get good marks, there are so many options. You need not worry about it but it would take a lot of courage to go through those options.

Good luck students for the exams and good luck to the parents :)
