"Beyond School: Nurturing Talents for True Success"

 A majority of people believe that they have to go to school in order to become successful in life. Most parents concentrate only on their child’s academic results, and when a child scores low, he is threatened, punished, or even embarrassed in front of others. It is such pressure that makes children consider themselves failures if they do not excel in academic work.

Therefore, though studying is a crucial life feature that teaches the fundamentals such as reading and writing, it is not the only way to gain success. School education can be a helpful side direction that a person can choose as an auxiliary option to occupy his or her time while being focused on the main interest. For instance, sports, arts, music, or business talents call for practice, and practicing is not always possible during and after school hours.

Let me describe a boy for you who is fond of football and practices for hours. His life will not be as great as it could have been if his parents only make him study and deny his talent. He might never achieve greatness. On the other hand, if he manages to balance the hours spent in class with the practice of football, he is capable of achieving marvelous things in his line of work.

It should also be noted that the number of successful people who never oriented themselves around education in the classic meaning of this concept is immense. Even the world’s famous cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar, who is renowned today by dint of his passion for cricket, did not have a good academic background. Steve Jobs, a great man who changed the world and was the chairman of Apple, was a college dropout. Walt Disney dropped out of high school in order to build one of the most prominent entertainment corporations.

Every child has a unique talent, and parents and teachers who work with children need to keep this in mind. Some children are interested in schooling, and for such children, school may be the right choice. Others may have talents in athletics, music, writing, painting, dancing, innovation, or any other area. They should be allowed to do what they enjoy most, along with getting a basic education. Success is not only about school grades; it’s about finding your talent, working hard, and following your dreams. When children are supported in all their passions, they grow up happier and more confident. Education is important, but it should not limit a child’s potential. Let’s allow children to explore their abilities and achieve success in ways that make them truly happy.

Success - A journey different for everyone

  Once there was a boy named Arjun, who lived in a bustling city with his family. Arjun was a curious child with a passion for technology, but he struggled in school, especially with math. Numbers felt confusing, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t keep up with his classmates. His grades were often lower than expected, and his parents grew increasingly concerned. In 8th grade, when final exams came around, his parents and grandfather encouraged him to seek help from his cousin, Priya, who was known for her excellent grades. They often compared him to her, telling him, “Look at Priya! She studies hard and always scores above 95%.” Though it hurt him, Arjun quietly accepted their words, feeling like he could never meet their expectations. Despite his efforts, Arjun scored only 89% in his exams. His father, disappointed and angry, scolded him harshly and even punished him physically. The words that hurt him the most were his father’s: “You’ll never be successful if you don’t...

No One Listened to Me - A poem

 No one listened when I spoke, They thought my dreams were just a joke. They only cared to share their say, And pushed my thoughts far away. "Read your books," they would advise, Ignoring stars in endless skies. The paths I saw, they couldn't see, They left behind infinity. They never believed, they said I’d fail, Their doubts were strong, their words would sail. But deep inside, I kept my flame, Dreams untouched by their blame. Now they cheer their kids with pride, Not knowing they work by my side. Under me, they toil and strive, While my dreams bloom, alive, alive. No one listened, but I knew, The sky was mine to paint and view. Infinite ways, my heart did find, Their limits stayed; I left them behind.

Mom -believe me

  A Son’s Heart to His Mother Oh, mother dear, it’s hard to say The words I hold, tucked far away. Sometimes I stumble, lost in pride,                                                                                  Or hide the care I feel inside. I know I seem to look away, When life is rough or skies are gray, But in my heart, you’re always there, The light that’s bright, beyond compare. I may get angry, fall or fail, And wander down a winding trail, But even then, your voice, your face, Remind me I am in your grace. So, trust my dreams, don’t doubt their gleam, Though they may seem a distant scheme. Believe in me, just like before, And know I love you even more. Don’t mind what others say or think— The doubts, the fears, the walls that shrink. Just hold my hand and let me grow,...
