‘Children are like buds in a garden; and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow’ – Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru
At ten, we
would be secretly reading fairy tales and be ashamed of letting others know of
it. Now that we are beyond the adolescent age, we’d read them openly. At our
age, we put away childish things, including the fear of immaturity and the
desire to be grown up. Childhood is the golden time when we seldom think of the
future. And memories
of childhood are like a dream that stays even after waking up.
Children’s day is the perfect
time to recall & rejoice the wishes that came true and dreams that gave us wings,
to fly & be here today. Young minds are assets to the nation and hope for a
bright future. Let us come together this
year and solemnly promise to inculcate, in our young generation, the true moral
values; and impart education that helps one excel in life and not just
academics.
Youth is the decisive phase of our life and every person deserves understanding
it, through the eyes of those who have seen it better. Life gives us many
chances to learn but what we have grasped in our early days of life is what
that has framed us and our personality.
‘Values and knowledge are not what we get in books but what life has taught us’.
Young minds play a crucial role in success and development of a nation, as
they are going to bring either a positive or a negative change in our country. It is our duty to polish the raw minds to
enshrine and reflect the grace of a compassionate society, the way we were
nurtured until here.
Today’s youth, if rightly guided, will not just excel in their
capabilities but also make a better tomorrow for everyone around them. This
little of every single person makes the society a better place to live in. Awareness
of people towards the rights, care, and education of children is important. And
this children’s day is a crucial time to accept our role in framing the society
and take forward a step by celebrating this day with a motive. This little can
be expected of every single person. Working on young minds may not be an easy task.
But a little effort will be worth it someday. Until then, be the child with a child;
enjoy the purity of your soul and let freely fly the mischievous child in you.
‘Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up’ - Pablo Picasso
Bring out the little one, hidden
somewhere within you and celebrate this children’s day. Celebrate the day of
the adorable souls! Laugh with them, and ensure their involvement in your bad
days only to make them value the good times and of family, relationships, love,
and humanity. Make time for children; instil in them, the respect which starts
from within the home. Day-care & school can never give the values &
virtues of Humanity that parents can inculcate within the child. Don’t make
comparisons, but bring out the best in your child.
‘A child can always teach, an adult, three things. To be happy with no reason, to always be busy with something and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires’ – Paulo Coelho.
India’s first Prime Minister, also known as, Chacha Nehru, was quite
fond of the young ones and truly believed in the innocence and righteous care,
childhood revolves around. Therefore, every year India observes his birth
anniversary, November 14th, as Children’s day. Students organise
various cultural programmes and performances in their schools and colleges as
an enthusiastic feast to the day. Let’s learn from the innocent brains and
celebrate India’s bright future with a pledge to safeguard the innocence and
uphold their rights. Celebrate this children’s day not just as a celebration of
childhood but a toast to the tender innocence of a pure soul.
