Wisdom 

"Sow a thought, reap an action; 

sow an action, reap a habit; 

sow a habit, reap a character;

 sow a character, reap a destiny.”

"Self-mastery is the DNA of life mastery." 

"Life is no brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."    

"A leader, if one chooses to identify one, has to be a cultivator, rather than a manufacturer. He has to provide the environment in which the seed can grow."  

 - Vikram Sarabhai (Indian physicist and astronomer)

"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron."                                                                                                          - Horace Mann

Sangharsh + Tapasya = Shakti

The goal of mankind is knowledge. That is the one ideal placed before us by the Indian philosophy. Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. 

“... the wisdom of expending public and private funds on education is not to be measured by its direct fruits alone. It will be profitable as a mere investment, to give the masses of people much greater opportunities than they can generally avail themselves of. For by this means many, who would have died unknown, are enabled to get the start needed for bringing out their latent abilities”.  - Alfred Marshall 

Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, wisdom, and learning, is considered essential for success. When one gains knowledge, they are better equipped with skills, wisdom, and clarity, leading to success and prosperity, symbolized by Goddess Laxmi, the deity of wealth and abundance. This means that focusing on learning and wisdom (Saraswati) naturally leads to prosperity and wealth (Laxmi) as a consequence.

In the future, virtual teachers will revolutionize education, delivering comprehensive knowledge across subjects. These advanced AI-driven instructors will adapt to each student's needs, making personalized learning accessible to all.

Whenever people asked me what my father left behind for me, they expected to hear about material wealth or property. But the most valuable thing he passed on was a treasure trove of books. To me, these books are my greatest asset. They contain knowledge, perspectives, and insights that have shaped who I am and guided me through life's complexities. In a world that often chases after possessions, these books remind me of what truly lasts—a legacy of wisdom. 

Mathematics is the foundation for science and technology. It's the language that allows us to understand the complexities of the universe, solve real-world problems, and drive innovation. Every scientific discovery and technological advancement is built upon mathematical principles, making it an essential tool for progress. Without math, the growth of science and technology would be impossible.

Sitting in a room for extended periods to study can often feel challenging and tedious. However, there is a profound sense of fulfillment that arises when you recognize the power of what you are doing.

This realization—that you are gaining knowledge and skills that will empower you—brings a sense of bliss. It’s a reminder that your efforts are shaping your understanding of the world, enhancing your capabilities, and ultimately leading you toward your goals. Embracing this perspective can make the experience of studying not just bearable, but truly rewarding.

Studying for long periods can be challenging, and sitting in one place for an extended time can feel tedious. However, when you take a moment to reflect on what you are achieving, it can be a rewarding experience. The knowledge you gain and the skills you develop empower you for the future. 

There are two types of confidence: false confidence and true confidence. 

False confidence arises when an individual believes they possess skills and knowledge, despite lacking the necessary understanding or expertise. This type of confidence often stems from a lack of self-awareness. 

In contrast, true confidence is characterized by a deep knowledge and proficiency in a particular area, accompanied by a strong sense of self-awareness. Individuals with true confidence understand their strengths and limitations, allowing them to navigate challenges effectively.

There are two types of confidence: false confidence and true confidence. 

False confidence arises when a person believes they possess skills and knowledge, but in reality, they lack the necessary understanding and self-awareness. 

In contrast, true confidence is characterized by a deep knowledge and skill set, accompanied by a genuine awareness of one’s abilities. 

India needs to shift from a marks-oriented education system to one that is skills- and knowledge-based. Emphasizing skills such as writing, reading, public speaking, critical thinking, mathematics, coding, and management will better prepare students for real-world challenges and foster a more holistic and meaningful educational experience. This shift would help cultivate well-rounded individuals capable of thriving in a dynamic, knowledge-driven world.

सत्यमेव जयते (Truth alone triumphs) - Mundaka Upanishad

Science is not based on belief; it is grounded in knowledge. It seeks to uncover the truth behind every phenomenon.

Increasing entertainment in educational centers can negatively impact youth's future. While sports and physical activities are essential for maintaining good health, excessive or mindless entertainment can be harmful. Skill development and empowerment require time and dedicated training. When too much focus is given to entertainment, it can disrupt this growth process.

 Teachers are not entertainers; their primary role is to guide and educate. When we prioritize entertainment over learning, we lose valuable time that could be spent developing important skills.

Being a teacher is a noble and fulfilling role, offering the unique opportunity to shape and nurture young minds, guiding them toward a brighter future.

I know not how thou singest, my master! I ever listen in silent amazement.

The light of thy music illumines the world. The life breath of thy music runs from sky to sky. The holy stream of thy music breaks through all stony obstacles and rushes on.

My heart longs to join in thy song, but vainly struggles for a voice. I would speak, but speech breaks not into song, and I cry out baffled. Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

"Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action." — Rabindranath Tagore 

"Education means enabling the mind to find out the ultimate truth, which emancipates us from the bondage of the dust and gives us the wealth not of things but of inner light." 

—  Rabindranath Tagore  

Computer science was created and advanced by mathematicians like Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Dennis Ritchie, Claude Shannon, John McCarthy, and many others.
