To appreciate the Goal ,Moral , Motto and Harmony.The following lines are by a student named below ..i am expecting more !!!

... A walk of lore …We do not write our destiny. We are born with it. All that a human does is to take decisions. We stand at the very edge of the road that splits in two. Either the left or the right. There is no right or wrong. Just a matter of perception. I mean … nobody has a right to say, that somebody else is wrong! Nobody’s wrong. We cannot put labels on people. If I do not agree with someone, or their ideas do not appeal to me… it is my opinion…and I may ask for convincing.However … we continue to move ahead with our perception of things, and encounter a lot of hindrances. We are tried to be influenced and suppressed by those who negate our ideas. We increasingly try to out-do each other, which is followed by an increase in trampling too. This makes us aggressive, we throw tantrums, and this just how we start to complicate things for ourselves. In the long run, we agitate people and nature, incurring the wrath of God. This is where we SIN.It leads to our doom, and later we term it as a ‘WRONG choice’.

The key idea is, to adopt either of the two strategies to life, either the ‘FRONT-LINE’ or the ‘DIPLOMACY’.

Now today, diplomacy is no longer visualized as the art of talking or negotiating, to achieve our due rights. It is more about cheating, stating the nastiest in the nicest way, deceiving and stealing. (You need to have the gift-of-gab)

What I talk about is, to deal with the arousing hindrances in a decently diplomatic manner. The deal is …to remain calm, listen and to make listen, and then peacefully proceed in our own direction.Whereas, front-line is to remain cutting clear, determined, and well-focused. It is the better choice, if you want to play fair, and you’re good at it. (You need to have strong will-power).

At this point, there is always a natural involvement of ‘attitude’. An attitude is very prized today and ego precious.People have this very wrong concept of ‘attitude’. Attitude is not about being rude to people, or being harsh. (it is a general idea of our generation, that a great ‘attitude’ is when you mistreat people and are too hard on them.)

Attitude is all about, how we behave; interact with others, keeping our ethics in mind. A good attitude is about how well we behave when we socialize, and not how we insult others. (This is my personal opinion.) Though it is necessary to revise, with people, their limits! I support the idea of remaining EVEN with people, but to do it tactfully, is what I say.

It is very important to have a positive attitude, to keep aloof from the SINful track.

As we proceed in life, we face hurdles. Big things happen to us. We are often influenced by stronger people or happenings. We put tags. Superiority! But it is never the bigger of happenings in life, which teach us, or leaves a moral. It is not about being SUPERIOR. It is often the very slightest of happenings, which give us a lot to think about, and teach us.The very merest could prove to be a good lesson and the smallest a good teacher! Now that is how we grow to respect. We might envy the powerful, but we will always respect the one who teaches us. To earn respect, we need to give, we need to serve. It is a form of ‘service leadership’- Where we keep another person ahead of us, work for their betterment, without any personal motives. Respect is earned and not bought.

The only superiority that exists is Allah, and there is no comparison to Him. This very fact is the only impetus that exists, when on the road to life.

Just a matter of realization!
