On Failure

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t quit,
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—-
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out—-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Felicitation programme

In this edgy competitive scenario where perform or perish is the punch line, students of Atmiya Vidya Mandir and Sarvanaman Vidya Mandir are on the crest of the wave with their stupendous performance in the board exams. To celebrate the success, the inauguration ceremony was followed by felicitation programme held by Yogi Divine Society for the students who secured outstanding grades in board exams for class X.

Moving Towards Where We Wanted To Be

Everybody wants to develop and, infact, everybody is developing in his/her way. Yet sometimes we are confused that whether we are going in the right direction or not.

It requires a clarity of destination in our mind and a whole lot of determination to reach the destination.

It also happens that many a times the destination of our life changes after reaching a certain stage of life. That may be for the good and equally for the bad as well.

Nevertheless, what we really need is somebody who can redirect us to our Goal and keep reiterating about our destination with which we had begun our journey. They may be our friends, teachers, spouse, children or parents.

In a nutshell, we must keep our eyes focused on our Goal, always. As it is rightly said, “Eyes off the destination & you invite an accident.”
