Reading and memorizing technique for kids

Reading can be tough and uninteresting when it is dry and boring. When it’s uninteresting, kids are disinclined and stay away from books. But it’s our job to make reading interesting and build curiousity in these little minds.

There are abundant reading techniques for kids out there. One way to memorize the the dates chronologically. Or for instance to remember all chief ministers of state, is to write it down on the pieces of paper and try to memorize first 10 out 50 and again in your second attempt recall the first ten and continue to memorize from 10 to 20 and write it down if you want as it will increase the chances of remembering and recall from again from 1 to 20. It is one of the ways you can memorize, but there are numerous techniques such as mind mapping etc which adults can use to memorize important information which is hard to remember.

Another alternative is to use pluck cards. It is one of the effective methods to memorize information for kids which can be used study time tables as well. First by reading in array and then handing out to someone to test your learning and ask them to mix the pluck cards and ask questions.

And inorder to make the above steps effective. One must encourage curiosity, rewarding or appraising kids whenever they get the right answer, because humans crave for attending, appeasement, and attraction. It is same in kids as well. And furthermore, make it habit of learning new things and mix it up with physical activity like doing exercises or going to park to play games etc. In addition, let the kid to ask questions and encourage it, also ask your kids to teach you what they have read. Because if you can’t explain what you have learnt, you haven’t learnt it well.

Breaking the plateau

Plateau means in a metaphorical way that you are not growing and you stop making gains.

Plateau arises when you cannot make progress and you aren’t regressing either. You are stagnant. It may be in exercising, you may have a goal of extra set and your body is not able to do extra reps. And it can be called as a Plateau

It’s because your body has adjusted to the stress it has been in. When you put your body in stress, it develops muscles and it makes your body stronger. One thing you can do is, you put body in more stress, it will adapt to it as well. For instance, you have been doing 2 sets 8 reps of an exercise and your goal is to do 5 sets or 6 sets.

Do 50 reps of that exercise. You don’t necessarily have to do 8 reps in each set. Do how much ever you can, it maybe 2 reps and take rest and get started again. Till you make through 50 reps. And take rest for a week and get back at it again. And now you will be able to do extra sets. It’s because of the stress your body has adapted and it can go longer. But remember to take rest and relax. Happy grinding

Powerful tool for freedom

Have you heard about discipline? Everyone must try to inculcate in themselves. We have dreams and desires we want to achieve. But only few of us like to grind our way up there.

Discipline is doing things even when you don’t long to do. Seems hard at times. But you do it even when you don’t feel like it, by doing it increases your mental toughness and callouses your mind and it makes you a strong person.

Never celebrate early, always have your eyes on the long-term goal you want to achieve and also be grateful of your achievement of your short term one’s. Being disciplined is not easy, but you should have a clear vision, that the thing you’re doing is not because people want you to do, but you’re doing doing it for yourself and enjoy doing it. Everything has a price and sacrifice and discipline is what you pay for freedom.

Always keep in mind, the activity what you’re doing will bring fruits to you in the future. But don’t worry about the fruit. Do your work and don’t think about the rewards. There is no substitute for hard work. Grind your way up there.

Heart and Ability

Everybody has at least once in there lifetime have encountered uncertainty in achieving their goals. Many people who have not yet planned their life goal, have encountered doubts in their ability in achieving a goal if they finally found that is reasonable and they can think they can do it.

There is one method that can come handful in deciding what you want to do with your life. The Heart And Ability method.

The heart is what tells you how bad you want to achieve the set goals, how bad you are willing to sacrifice everything for achieving the goal. And the ability is, do you have what it takes to achieve the goal, like you want to be a wrestler, do you have athletic abilities to achieve the goal. Just like that if you want to become gymnast, do you have the athletic abilities for it.

The heart and ability goes hand in hand, it Should be balanced, for instance you have the heart for achieving a goal, but you don’t have the ability to achieve a set goals. Then it won’t work for you. While contemplating avoid biases towards yourself, don’t downgrade your abilities in achieving that goal, for example you’re apprehensive about it and might think that you are not good enough. But always believe in yourself and that’s important. Believe is the most important constant in every equation. If you believe and you’re halfway there.

Boredom is a Gift

Boredom is a feeling of weary and impatient because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one’s current activity.


We sometimes feel bored or disinterest in continuing an activity. It is a normal feeling, it arises when we are tired and have exhausted our energy. We seldomly are disinclined in doing an activity or a task because we don’t feel like doing it. But, we have to acknowledge this feeling to fully utilize time and get better.

We are now living in strange times, we are not doing what we are supposed to do like, going to school or college, doing jobs etc. Now things are getting back to normal, which is good and we can experience normalcy again. But after this lockdown is lifted, life becomes normal again and we continue to do our work and become bored sometimes of day to day activities, which is normal you have to take little rest and relax. And it’s astonishing that we aren’t aware of things to do or spend time productively, so here are few activities you can do mentioned below

  • Read a book, this is one of the commonly suggested activity you will come across. But it’s essential to read, it helps you in lot of ways. It can help you in getting your desired job. It helps you in making long lasting impression etc. And also just don’t read every book that is been suggested to you by influential people. You have to make that decision for yourself, if your interested in stock market and you’re enthusiastic in learning about it, search on Google – stock market books, it’s as simple as that and it goes same for others(sports, leadership, finance, economy, management).
  • Learn English, ha you might wonder that I’m stating the obvious. But it’s really necessary and it’s one of the widely used Languages out there. Knowing vocabulary is not enough you need to learn to communicate better. And it’s really prominent, you have no idea how many candidates gets rejected just because they are not able to communicate better even though they have ton of technical knowledge. Watch documentaries instead of TV shows and read good articles and research papers on your favorite subject, it will aid and direct you forward. Furthermore, talk with your friends in English everyday for at least half an hour. It will do good in the long run.
  • Be curious, this may sound simple, but we have lost this quality of being curious overtime and we just accept the things in front of us and we don’t have curiosity to learn about it. Believe me, it will help you in making decisions and being creative. Because making good decision is in turn shows your curiosity and creativity. If your curious your knowledge becomes abundant and you are able to critically examine every aspect of the matter, on which your taking decision on.
  • Learn new skills, do SWAT analysis of yourself and think about the job or business you want to establish and think about the skills you must possess to be best at it. And list those skills on paper and work on it everyday, until you become proficient.

Hard work +Time+ Consistency = Confidence

Wish you had a productive day.

Imperfect Trees

This is a story of Norm born in the  city of Queenstown.

Norm is a timid person and had less self esteem. He was born in an household where his mother had 4 jobs and she was trying hard to end meet, and his father was a drunkard. Further more, his parents wouldn’t spend time with him and he had to do all his homework by himself. And he used to get punished at home for not doing his homework & getting low grades and at school he would get punished by his teachers for the same.

And it continued, he later developed inferiority complex and he was not able to learn properly in school and he would see himself as worthless human being, which impacted his academics, social life etc

Some of us have been in Norm shoes. Not that we had same school life or that our parents wouldn’t spend time with us. But inferiority complex is identical. We compare ourselves with our class mates, friends, cousins, peers at work and down value ourselves.
                  *            *           *
One day norm decided to go the forest in search of a perfect tree. All he saw was trees with missing branches and crooked trees. And he was not able to find a perfect tree in the forest. All he saw was crooked trees. And later he visited a park, he saw the trees arranged in an array and were all perfect. Moreover, he felt that the tree in the forest where more beautiful and pleasant than the trees in the park. He later realised that so called ‘Imerfect Trees’ where the most beautiful than the artificial one’s in the park. Then, he also understood that so called ‘Imperfect’ people are more beautiful than artificial people. He understood the real meaning of perfection. He had been a long time ‘good enough’. Only in the forest he  realized it.

Fear

Fear is the most Dreaded feeling ever. We all fear of something in our lives. And it is the most common feeling that everyman feels.

Despite the normality of this feeling, we hesitate and become reluctant in pursuit of goals, doing tasks, or engage in an endeavor which will be fruitful in time to come.

The Myth needs to be dispelled to achieve one’s true potential. Fear is just a feeling. It’s not extraordinary. Why we feel afraid is because of the fear of failure and generally our brain is programmed in a way that if we are doing anything for the first time the brain doesn’t know how to react and we become anxious etc. Even if you have performed an act on the stage for thousand times, the next time you perform on stage  you get chills, you get feeling of nervousness. We have to come to terms with it. With constant Reps we can transcend it.  That’s the only way to transcend fear. And just do it, don’t over think about it. Just like the saying ”beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’, You can alter Your experience however you want  it to be, next time when you experience fear just say thank you fear for choosing me, I’m lucky to have this feeling, I’m going enjoy this moment and go for it. It’s just a feeling like happiness, angry, sadness etc

Fear is finding fault with the future. When you’re at peace with fear, fear disappears.
