Story 2021: Liswini focuses her full attention only on what she does and gets better at everything.

Story 2021: Liswini focuses her full attention only on what she does and gets better at everything.

Liswini was a 12-year-old girl. Who first did the things she liked, such as sports and playing with friends. After that it was late and she was too tired to study. She quickly did her homework or tried to copy it from her classmates. We can imagine that her studies did not go well. Her parents were worried about Liswini. The parents spoke to her, but it didn't help. Fortunately, the parents knew GuruAama who has solution for almost any situation. The family went to GuruAama. And told Her about Liswini's manners.

GuruAama spoke very sweetly and calmly and said: “Liswi, you know, when I was your age, I was just like you. And my parents took me to a Guru” Liswini said: 'Really GuruAama? Were you as naughty as me? What punishment did your Guru give to you?"

GuruAama laughed and said: "No Liswini, my Guru didn't punish me. He gave me values ​​to practice. And when I put it into practice, I started to change." Liswini said: " GuruAama, what things ​​did your Guru give you to practice? Was it yoga, meditation, prayer and so on"? GuruAama said: "No Liswini, I had to: 1-Speak the truth. 2-Total focus on what I'm doing 3-Don't do several things at once. Listen Liswini, you can keep doing your fun things, like sport and playing with friends, if at the same time you practice the 3 teachings also” Liswini was very happy and said: "Yesss, I am so happy because you don’t stop me from sport and play with my friends. GuruAama, you are the best Guru in the whole world"

Liswini did exactly as GuruAama told her. 01- She speaks the truth, 02- She focuses completely on what she was doing. 03-She didn't do several things at once. In the beginning it was very difficult but gradually it got better. Her ability to concentrate grew, she became calm, became less tired, everything she did went faster and better.

Today's question: Let's share our thoughts on this story.

Story 2022: Different is also wonderful

Story 2022: Different is also wonderful

Some people behave strangely towards people who look different.
Now a few children themselves tell what they experienced:

Child 1 "I was a member of a dance school, I was allowed to practice within the club, but was never allowed to participate in the performances, because I had the darkest skin color in the group. The management thought that I was not a good advertisement for the dance school"

Child 2 “I was a member of a table tennis club, I was allowed to practice within the club, but was never allowed to play competitions against other clubs, because I am tall”.

Child 3 "I was a member of a football club, I was allowed to train within the club, but I was never allowed to play competitions against other clubs because I am small. The management of the club did not like to see that a player was much shorter than the rest of the soccer team".
Child 4 “I was a member of a volleyball club, I was allowed to train within the club, but was never allowed to play competitions against other clubs because I am thin.”

We can imagine that the children became sad when others acted strangely towards them, because they looked different. Then one of the children came up with a clever plan. She contacted all the children and they agreed to work together.

They founded their own association. The association is called: “Different is also wonderful”. They work well together, respected everyone, no matter what someone looked like: thin, fat, tall, short, disabled, dark skin, short nose, long ear, small eye, small lip, etc., it didn't matter. They acted, danced, played sports, etc. By not giving up, but practicing harder, "Different is also wonderful" eventually became the most popular association in the country. People really enjoyed watching their performances/matches, mainly because of the differences. And then many people who used to act weird also wanted to join"Different is also wonderful"

Question(s): 1) Let's share our thoughts and experiences. 2) If you were one of the "Different is also wonderful" members, would you allow the people who first discriminated against you to join "Different is also wonderful"?

Today's game/drama: Let's recreate bits of the story. For example, we can play the roles of:

01- You're banned because others think you don't look normal.

02- You start to think and come up with the idea of ​​creating an association for the people who are discriminated against.

03- Everyone thinks it's a great plan and want to participate.

04- The group practices a lot, but less people come to see the performances. The group does not give up, but gets even more creative, eventually more and more people come to watch.

05- People start talking about the group, media come to interview. "Different is also wonderful" is becoming very popular across the country.

Heart-work (h-w) is: Let's give our OWN experience and our OWN opinion about the story. We can also make a drawing about the important part of story. Your h-w and points we will put on the website.

Batsa and Sejun were good friends from childhood. Batsa was a smart boy but never tried to improve his manners to become a successful person. He gave many problems and tensions to the teachers, friends and family. Sejun was the opposite, he was not as smart as Batsa, but he continued to improve his character. Sejun was a great example for all students; He only used his cell phone for necessary things, helped his parents, did study and homework first and then other things like watching TV and playing with friends, he was always happy to help his friends, he treated everyone with love and respect as if they were were their own family.

Sejun Said: “Thank you Boss to give me the chance to give my view. Boss, please give Batsa a new chance, I've already noticed changes in Batsa's manners, he's not the old ill-mannered Batsa anymore” The Boss said: “Okay Batsa, Sejun's words have re-hired you, but I'll keep an eye on you, because people say they've changed very easily, but after 3 days, they start their ill-mannered behavior again.”

Story 2026: Anita, Anil and their parents are a business family.

Story 2026: Anita, Anil and their parents are a business family.

There was a mother and a father who dreamed of owning their own grocery store. They work very hard and save little by little to start a shop. When they had enough money after many years of saving, they started a nice little supermarket. Meanwhile, Anita was in 8th grade and her brother Anil in 10th grade. When the store was ready to open, Dad said to Mom: "Now everything is ready, in 4 hours we have the opening of our own grocery store. You and Anita can go home. Can you make momo and chawmin on this special day? Anil and I will run the shop."
Mother and Anita were disappointed, Anita said: "Dad, that's not fair, mom and I have also worked hard, we also want to help in the store and experience everything".
Anil said: "Daddy is right, how are you girls going to lift those heavy things, this is boys' work. Mom can you make also Chatpate and Panipuri on this special day?"
The store wasn't even open yet and the fight had already started.

Then a serious conversation started between the 4 family members. Two important agreements were reached after a long discussion.
1) One week Father and Anil were in the store and the next week Mother and Anita.
2) Father and Anil were allowed to determine the rules themselves during the weeks that they were in the store & Mother and Anita were also allowed to decide for themselves which strategy they would apply during their weeks in the store.

The difference of the weeks was clearly noticeable for the customers. In the weeks that Father and Anil were in the store, almost no customers came. Because they were less friendly and less helpful. And Anil was given all the freedom to take whatever he wanted from the store for himself. Store was messy. Losses were made in their weeks.
But during the weeks that Mother and Anita were in the store, the store was full of happy customers. Because they were very helpful and caring, had nice offers, were disciplined, etc. And they made a lot of profit in their weeks.

Question(s), our Vision, Game/Drama:
1) Our Vision: Let's share our thoughts and experiences about today's story.
2) Question:  If you were one of the family members, what role would you play to help make the store successful?
3) Acting / Drama: Let's recreate parts of the story or adjust the whole story where necessary.

Heart-work (h-w) is: Let's give our OWN experience and our OWN opinion about the story. We can also make a drawing about the important part of story. Your h-w and points we will put on the website.

Story 2027: Hygiene, the basis for a healthy life.

Subodh was a 7th grade student. He did not consider the importance of his health. He didn't always wash his hands before eating, didn't take the time to bathe properly, didn't brush properly, etc. His parents often told him to take care of himself, but then he said: "Mom and Dad, don't worry at all I'm strong and don't get sick" His sister of grade 9 often tried to explain the importance of hygiene, but Subodh didn't listen to her at all. You can probably imagine that Sobodh would get sick, and then infect his entire family.

And it happens also, one day he was rushed to the ICU of the hospital. After several check-ups, the doctor found out that the cause of his serious situation was his unsanitary lifestyle. Doctor said to Subodh: "Subodh you live very unsanitary, that's why you got very sick and went to the emergency room". Subodh now remembers his parents and sister's warnings, which he never took seriously. Then he asked the doctor: "Mister Doctor, where is my family?" The doctor said: "They're in the hospital." Subodh said: "Okay doctor, they've come to see me, haven't they?" The doctor said: "No badmaas boy, you infected them all. By your negligence you also infected your parents and sister. They too have been admitted to this hospital“. And Subodh one more thing, the doctor said: “Do you know that your parents worked extra hard for years to save money for your sister and your future. But they have now had to spend all the money on hospital costs"

Subodh felt very guilty and began to cry. The nurses came running to comfort him and at the same time to address him: Don't cry, it's no use crying. Learn from your mistakes and improve your behavior so that this never happens again. Subodh said: “Yes nurses, I promise you that from now on I will live Hygienic and get well”.
