A few days back, I watched 3 idiots and was truly touched by that movie. It is just so true that life today is nothing but a race. Be it for a kids or be it for professionals. And it is really very sad to see myself being a part of this race. Siya got her report card last week where she managed "Above expectations" everywhere except "Dictation" where she got "Just met the expectation". My instant reaction to that was "I need to work on her dictation". That is just so unfair, how could even I think of the same. Apologies to Siya for the same.
India today needs "Thinkers". We need to get our kids to thinking more. Every child needs to be appreciated for the curiosity they are born with. Most of us will shut them off completely or be reluctant to answer their queries. We need to appreciate the fact that a they are THINKING. That itself will do a lot of wonders in the future.
Even in our professional lives, we have gone made to win a race. We just don't accept the fact that someone can be better than us, we have something to learn from them, we should be happy that we met them else who would have taught us the same. We need to kids all through out our lives where there is no ego, lots of questions and of course lots of thinking for themselves. What we are are thinking most of the times is "How do I beat her/him? How do I win the race?". This is just so wrong, every game has a winner or a looser, the question is how well you played the game and NOT who won....
