As per the Sikhism, here are 10 everyday lessons from Gurbani:
1. Practice Humility:Nature is an incredible teacher, offering countless lessons that can inspire and guide us in various aspects of life. Here are ten lessons we can learn from nature:
Resilience:During the long span of teaching, I have taught hundreds of students. Still, when I have to count for my sweet memories, some students, I really miss and would like to see them again in my life. I want to see If the students who were so good by nature, their character, their maturity, their devotion, attachment have really done well in their life also.
The foremost to count is A C, with curly
hair cut short - and soft-spoken girl. She was secretary of students'
council. Speaking loudly or harshly to anyone was out of question,
totally duty-bound fun making girl. The most memorable event is trip to
Simla and Kufri.
Then come the R and R duo. R with her
sharp nose, long braid and sweet smile, was her father’s daughter
extremely protected nice girl. R was her best mate with curly hair cut
short with good voice, ready to sing on slight provocation. She would
always carry a diary in her bag with the hit songs written in it, to be
used anytime. The most memorable is the night, we all were awake
gossiping in a gurudwara at Dehradun, while all other students and
teachers were sleeping.
P K was a soft and sober girl with bold
writing, always stood second in class. Much was expected from her in
this field but after 12th class came to know that she was under
influence of some evil spirit and was physically not keeping well.
She didn’t join the college and was married after some time.
PC, a fat, bold, self-confident girl
with curly hair enclosing a logical mind underneath, was the president
of students' council. She was the best speaker. What a self-determined
student can do, was proved by her. She is rightly placed in career
(media). The most memorable trip to Kempty falls.
M was a simple girl with wheatish
complexion. She left the first impression of a negative personality. But
till date, I can rarely count any other girl so affectionate, and duty
bound. She was one of the best monitors of my classes till date.
Dk was fat, fair, calm and affectionate
girl, she was made class monitor. She performed the duties very
honestly for almost two years, when just before the preparatory holidays
I relieved her of her duties, so that she can concentrate more on
studies.
AR was a charming, fair and decent girl
with sharp nose. She was very diplomatic, calm and composed girl. She
knew how to adjust the tone of her voice while handling different
issues. She was intelligent and president of the students' council.
SC was a very intelligent, soft spoken,
mature and diplomatic girl. She was handed over the duties of secretary
of students' council. She always stood first or second in the class. She
proved her maturity and intelligence on three very important occasions,
she is worthy of praise beyond limit.
NC was a beautiful, charming, intelligent, tall girl with long braid. She was a player and a model. She was so calm, decent and down to earth that on even being made
Miss India North-West, she didn’t lose her composure. She was extremely
respectful towards everyone.
J and P sisters, in different batches, were again very affectionate, intelligent, and responsible girls. P
was a national player and knew how to keep a balance between curricular
and co-curricular activities.
D a sweet, beautiful, a national champion in Ball badminton, also stood first in class, unforgettable.
S a tall, intelligent, monitor of my class always stood first in class.
PG was an intelligent, sweet, humble and
duty-bound girl. She hardly refused anyone for any work. The most
interesting thing about her, if she would be sent for some work, she
would return after almost half the period was over. Because she would be
caught by some another teacher for her work, and PG had to do that work
also, still she never lagged behind in her studies and stood first in
her class.
S was short, intelligent, sober, dark
complexioned, girl with spectacles on her face and long braid on her
back. She also stood first in her class, she was a great artist, her
sketching was too good.
B like S was also a sober, short,
intelligent, girl with smile on her face. She was calm but had good
relations with all her classmates alike. She always stood second in her
class.
I, N and V were the students of the same
class. The first impression given by I, I would keep him set in the
class, as he seemed to be over smart. But he proved to be the best boy
of the class. Cooperative, duty bound, all-rounder, affectionate, well
mannered, you name the qualities, and he had. N possessed all the
qualities of a good leader, polite, fun loving, patience, diplomacy,
she had these all. She had always maintained the balance between extra
activities and studies. V was really a genius. Though kept himself away
from extracurricular activities, but very decent and intelligent boy.
GT and AB were also very good boys. GT
had all the leadership qualities where AB had a unique, intelligent, fun
loving, balanced personality.
V, M, R, A, M, R, a group of decent and loyal
six. First four proved their worth. VMRAM were exactly same, but R was a
little different. They carried the torch of the class on, by marking
their presence daily. The intelligence and presentation of paper by VMRA
were too good. All of them remained calm and composed without affected
by any disturbances of outside world.
Here comes my next batch. LB, SK, LP
proved to be shining more than anyone else. We, teachers used to discuss
the main reason of entering the class because of three students and
they have proved it. LB appeared to be naughty to some, proved his hold
on everything and specially the role of determination and
self-confidence in the success. He was a good diplomat maintaining
balance with all under all circumstances. Every piece of knowledge was
stored in his mind like a computer memory. The SK always behaved like
taking all the knowledge from teachers as though its not possible to do
that again. He can be compared to question generating software. LP, a
calm, shy and intelligent boy proved to be strong enough in the odds of
life with his intelligence and performance, and shine like anything,
without making any sound.
These are the jewels in my career, though I can count a large number of students for sweet memories.
Note: If any one of the above-mentioned students ever come to read this and is able to recognize, I would love his/her photo to be posted here.
After this article was written (many years ago), I didn't write like this. My favorite students found a permanent place at commerceatease.com to advise other students.
