Fascinating Life lessons!
Dear Friends and Students
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, covering an area of approximately 6.7 million square kilometres across nine countries in South America. It is all due to the kind of rainfall it receives. It catches an average of 2,500 millimetres of rainfall per year, with some areas receiving up to 4,000 millimetres annually. It will not surprise us.
The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, covering approximately 3.6 million square miles (9.4 million square kilometres) in North Africa. During the day, temperatures in the Sahara can reach up to 50°C (122°F), while at night, temperatures can drop to as low as 0°C (32°F). It will not surprise us!
However, sometimes a tiny intervention surprise many! This train always stops in exactly the same place, and the air conditioner drips in the same place. A tiny ecosystem is born. See the picture above!! This is called fighting for a cause! This is called hope for many! They survive to show as an example.
In the Vedic times, how could Lord Prahlada exhibit unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu in spite of severe opposition from his father Hiranyakashipu? Prahlada saw Lord Vishnu in everything and everyone around him, and he never wavered in his commitment to his faith. Sometimes we don’t need a complete supporting ecosystem to develop a solid faith or achieve something big. A small ray of hope is sufficient to conquer.
In modern times, Nick Vujicic, an Australian motivational speaker was born without arms and legs. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, he has remained committed to his faith and has inspired many people with his message of hope and perseverance.
Yesterday, a Class 12th Tamil Nadu student, the daughter of a carpenter, emerged as the topper in the higher secondary examinations scoring a perfect 100 in all six subjects. S Nandhini's scorecard read 600/600. Amazing right? Congratulations to Nandhini.
Dr Raghunath Anant Mashelkar is one of India’s most eminent scientists. He is known for his contributions to India’s National Chemical Laboratory and Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, multiple ‘Mashelkar Committees, and a successful campaign against foreign patents on Indian traditional knowledge. Born on 1st January 1943 in Mashel, Goa, Ramesh (as he is known to his near and dear) lost his father at the tender age of six. However, his mother Late Mrs Anjani Mashelkar was committed to doing the best she could for him. It was her determination and foresight that pushed them to move to Mumbai in search of a better livelihood and education. Here they lived in a chawl (a type of shared tenement) and often struggled to make ends meet. He went barefoot to a municipal school and would sometimes be unable to afford a notebook to write his answers in. However, he demonstrated excellence even amidst adversity. He was the brightest student in the school and continuously excelled in his academics.
Every year, we observe many students in similar conditions. Once one of the boys in a similar condition told in a public gathering, “Adversities can be overwhelming and demotivating, but it is important to hold onto hope in such times. Hope is a powerful emotion that can help us overcome challenges and move forward in life”. Powerful and Powerpack Statement! We should thank them for the spirit!
Let us learn from these great fighters in their respective causes!
