ONGOING FORMATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR OUR STAFF

-Inputs from Ms. Christina Mascaranhes, Mr. Cliffrichard D’Souza & Ms. Flavia Fernandes

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)  – Mrs Christina Mascarenhas

The NLP seminar was conducted by The All India Association of Catholic schools (AINACS) from the 5th to 7th August at Cochin. The resource persons were Mr. Arul Subramaniam and Ms Narmada Rao. There were 42 participants in all.

NLP is a powerful training which demonstrates that people have a unique way of thinking and processing information. It helps a person know his/her unconscious patterns and bring them to awareness. Through NLP, one learns to use language in a compelling way, to create rapport instantly, and to use different strategies to motivate different people. It presupposes a spirit of curiosity. It teaches a person to focus on how people say things, and emphasizes that all spoken words should be treated as rumours unless they are substantiated by action.

Through the sessions, the participants were challenged to focus on behaviour, without attaching meaning to it. They were made to think and explore whether they were models of the behaviour they wanted to see in others. Finally they learned to accept the reality that change is the only way forward, since, if they did what they always did, they would get what they always got.

Librarian’s Day cum Seminar on Excellence in School Education – Mrs. FlaviaFernandes

The librarian’s seminar was held on 12th August 2016 at Shishuvan School. The seminar was rich in content – knowledge and experience – as recorded in personal testimonies below:

Rajshekhar Devrai, Senior Librarian, with thirty years experience says that the school librarian is the first person to talk to students about the books; a librarian is a person engaged in collecting, organizing and disseminating information.

Jamila Merchant, Librarian of Shishuvan noted that a Librarian plays an important part in the life of a child. S/he should have a passion for books, should be computer literate and child friendly. As a primary section librarian she tell stories after issuing books according to the child’s ability to read, and assists the child individually if s/he is unable to read. She reiterated the importance of interpersonal skills to help deal with students, teachers and others.To sum up she says a librarian has to be a facilitator and story teller and help to access information to both students and fellow members.

Mr. Premjibhai, the Chairperson expressed his love for reading during his school days. He confessed that even now when he visits his native place in summer he visits his school library and loves to read.  He lamented the fact that today children have moved away from reading because of excess use of internet and mobile phones; and so, we have a challenge to bring them back.

Mr.Rajashekhar Devarai opined that the school library is a school’s physical and digital learning space where reading, inquiry, research, thinking, imagination and creativity that are central to students information take place.

The parents said that it is important for them to motivate the child to read, develop love for books and enlarge child’s world to read. However, they faced a dilemma due to lack of time, a fast paced society and packed schedules, besides a growing tight budget;  hence the school library is a better place for reading.

This session also provided inputs for teachers and librarians into good reading habits as also a reflection into a librarian’s vocation.

I commit and dont do ...

"I commit and dont do any thing about it. I succumb to the circumstances and  things that distract and overpower me on and on and again and again. I know, I have n number of reasons for not doing .... not honoring my commitments. Now I realise again that ..... doing and not doing a things depends how badly, sadly and intensely craving for what I should be doing. Loss is mine and no one else can be held responsible for what I dont do. I need to honor myself and commitment, else, I will continue to be doing things that dont want. Let me honour myself before it is too late." - LbnRaj ; moorunaaku.blogspot.com ;  

"If one needs to be on right track, it is necessary to go in every day for a daily core of chanting positive thoughts invariably, else, negative thoughts will over power on their own. It is like brushing our teeth every day in the morning, so is the case to be with positive thoughts. lbnraj ; moorunaaku.blogspot.in "

Music brings tala and laya to life

"Life takes us stages where every thing looks hay-way and haphazard. We tend to think that we have lost direction and purpose. Music has the power to soothe us, order us and bring us back to rhythm, order and flow. Next higher order is to get into silence and meditation which invariably is a source of all music. Embracing music, especially classical music is an easy and untiring route to bliss which all of us crave for often. No need to understand, u just flow with that and make way for losing yourself to ecstasy for some time".

Get motivated effortlessly and naturally

Get motivated effortlessly and naturally

----------------------------------------------------

Getting motivated is by focusing on the grand vision of your life. Getting motivated and de-motivated is as natural as breathing. One has to accept both in a flowing state. One need to naturally tend towards being motivated again and again endlessly. As inhaling and exhaling is necessary for being alive, so is the case with motivated and de-motivated. It has to do a lot with our feeling and attitude. The best way to get motivated is to listen to the enlightened as often and regularly as possible endlessly. One pre-requisite is to take this process naturally and effortlessly. One needs to move from negative to positive naturally, ultimately to rest as often as possible in a state of being and bliss.

The meek, weak and helpless could be harmful and dangerous.

January 24, 2019

The meek, weak and helpless could be harmful and dangerous. The very act of your kindness and complacence could be termed as your weakness. Your being too good may bounce back. You may be branded as having all those traits of a ill person. When repairing a person is beyond your level, dont prod further, leave it, leave it to God. But you be at your best come what may.

If I am my thoughts !

21st Jan 2019

If I am my thoughts !
If I am my thoughts, it is but a blend of my yesterday and tomorrow into the HERE AND NOW.... ie today.
Let me learn to dwell in the HERE AND NOW ... with due connection to my yesterday and tomorrow. This kind of learning of my has always brought me to the heights and depths of my being. LbnRaj ; https://moorunaaku.blogspot.com/

Learning is a continuous and non-stop process.

Dec 31, 2018
Learning is a continuous process and should never end.

Learning is a continuous and non-stop process. The moment we take a pause and stop in this regard ... we start becoming out of place and irrelevant. Outcomes of learning could work as a great source of inspiration and motivation to others .... but it does not work for long. The learning outcomes need to be reviewed, revised and re-looked again and again.
The things we have learnt till date may become irrelevant and obsolete to ourselves and others. No need to be surprised over this. We need to continue to review and revise our learning .... and continue to have a fresh look each time. As we grow young over the years ... v need to unlearn some things and learn new things that keep us hale and healthy. We need to redefine and review our learnings before they become irrelevant and obsolete.

There is always some one more informed and knowledgeable than you in life .....

15th Dec 2018
There is always some one more informed and knowledgeable than you in life.
There is always a tendency in people around to impress you upon that the life is not good, people are not good., it is nothing fair to be good and positive in life. You are always taught to be inclined to material wealth.
It is quite natural to face downs and lows in life. How much we suffer, how much we are  put to inconvenience is not important. How we respond to it .... how we take is important. People around may induce you to go in for shortcuts, may induce you to go in for unfair means. You know very well, success by unfair means has never made you happy. How do we do now? ..... There is always some one more informed and knowledgeable than you in life. Listen to them .... by reading or meeting. It always helps... it has always helped me. Solaced me.
Like we need good food to be healthy physically, we need good and positive and thoughts / ideas to be healthy mentally. This is more important than maintaining a good physique. Find ways and means of being with great souls, great beings .... who live an inspired life and who are destined to inspire others. Mean while, you can be a guru to all those who come to you for help, soothing and clarity. Cheers.

Every down you encounter makes way for a new beginning and re-assertion ...

13th Dec 2018

Every down you encounter opens up new new avenues and ways. You may or may not be the reason for your downs. You need to won the lows as you own the ups. Two things happen in our lives on a regular basis.... ones that we plan and make them happen .... others happen on their own. Accept both the things happily and with a smile.
Great downs are foundations of great ups. Dont get stuck .... move on. Continue to be the best to handle ups and downs .... rest leave it to the unknown, come what may.

Glance at what happened and what may happen next but be firm and aware of the RIGHT NOW MOMENT, COME WHAT MAY.   

I live in two different worlds .....

"I live in two different worlds".
"One world where in I think I am always right and people around are either wrong and not good to me. I continue to get hurt by people around by their unreasonable expectations and by their continuing ridicules on me. Then as usual I think, it is ok, let me continue to be right and good come what may."
"There is another world I continue to live in. That is ...... I question my self after listening to great souls, is it true that I am always right. I realise with utmost confidence that Yes .... I am not always right. I start believing that People around me were not as bad and wrong as I thought them to be ..... that I did not do any thing substantial to heal and correct people around for whatever they did and said to me. Instead I found myself to be silently and indirectly inducing them to be more on the wrong and undesirable side , unintentionally though. Many a times I realise that I and my actions, words too cause people to say and act the way they do , act and behave."
"I feel myself great and right when I am in the company of great people , great souls ...... but again after some time ...... I keep saying to myself .... i am always right ..... come what may I will continue to be right and best."
"How do I emerge myself as better than the best ... is the quest I keep pursuing ..... here I feel better and more reasonable".
Does this happen to all of you?

When nothing works ....... !

"Nothing works, when you continue to stumble upon failures ...... It is ok. Go back to best part of yourself and re-assert TO BE AT THE BEST OF YOURSELF. If you are at your best and things wont work, you are on the right path. Come what may, you are right and just dont bother about what comes to you. Come what may .... you be the best. This is very much possible, you can always be at the best of your true self. That is enough a proof that You are on your right path. If this does not work, just dont bother ...... be at your best any way." - LbnRaj moorunaaku.blogspot.in

It is time to redefine SUCCESS.

Success
"Success has varied meanings in varied contexts. Success has varied extents, depths and heights :
Losing but helping others,
Being strong
Helping the week and meek,
Allowing and encouraging others to be strong and bold,
Encouraging others not to lose heart, when we ourselves are losing our hearts,
Doing good things
Allowing and encouraging others to do good things,
Helping others when we can,
Helping others when we cannot,
Helping others when we ourselves are helpless,
Getting things,
Not losing things,
Moving ahead in life,
Not stopping anyone to move ahead in life,
Being Bold,
Not being timid,
Being composed,
Not getting angry,
Being at balance,
Not being imbalanced,
Not fighting,
Fighting but not getting hurt and hurting others,
It is time to redefine the world success." -LbnRaj ; moorunaaku.blogspot.in

When I am right I am right, I need not and should not spend my time and energy to prove that. That would be a futile exercise.... any attempt by any one in this regard is a sign of insecurity.

"When I am right, I am right.... where is the necessity to prove it? Why should I spend my time and energy to prove that? There is more in life to experience than spending my life in proving that I am right." - lbnraj ; 

Your tolerance is a gifted quality .....

"Your tolerance is a gifted quality which you can be proud of, you can opt to continue for, come what may.  Your tolerance often can put u down, can make others to put you to the ground, tear you to pieces, can disfigure you, can make you lifeless and sad and dejected and helpless.  All said and done, it is worth living with, worth being proud of, and worthy of living by.  Be tolerant be positive, be hopeful, come what may.  The best of eternal forces continue to be with you, come what may.  Continue to smile, continue to be what you are.
