Key to success

By educated, we refer to a person whose knowledge is more practical and less bookish. He will use his time wisely in the true sense of the word.

Noida, said that education is the key to organisational abilities and an organised person is able to find leisure even in a busy routine. Yet finding time and utilising it wisely are different issues, she said. “Leisure time can be spent with the family, introspecting for achieving goals or in enhancing one’s skills. Reading, listening to music, dancing, sketching and writing can be some of the ways which can bring a smile to one’s face. So we should enjoy our free time because leisure is pleasure,” she said.

Students who study in the primary classes seem to have a wide variety of interests. For instance, Siya Sinha of Class 4, Delhi Public School, Dwarka, said that in her leisure time, she does many things. “I play, dance, sing or talk with my mom. But what l like the most is writing stories. Nothing is better than this. I love to create stories out of my dreams,” she said. Once she saw a dream about a ghost. It was scary because the ghost was chasing her. “When I woke up, I created a story out of it. The dream was scary. But my story was interesting,” she said. So, she really loves to write stories to use her leisure, she said. Armaan Mathur, Class 10, Birla Vidya Niketan
