  We all aspire to become tomorrow’s leader of influence, transforming and impacting lives of others in profound ways. We want to be trusted by others and achieve great things. We want to be effective role models and inspire others.  In order become a great leader, we have to have a curious mind ready to learn and unlearn and become highly creative. The best way to achieve this is through reading. Many successful leaders like A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama attribute their success to their strong reading habits.  Margaret Fuller said: "If you are a leader, if you want to be one, you have to read”.

What are the reasons for your failure in academics?

Have you as students ever analyzed the reasons for your failure in academics? There are few common reasons why students fail in their exams. 1st Reason  - Your choice of specialization course at the time of college admission was right but now you are not sure about your choice. You are thinking you could have chosen another field. Therefore, you are losing interest in the subjects being taught and thus losing focus. 2nd Reason  - You are already worried about your future e.g. job etc. and have already made an assumption that you are not going to find a suitable job after graduation.

P.V Sindhu and Sakshi Malik did India proud by winning silver and bronze medal respectively in Rio Olympics 2016. The entire nation rejoiced as the Indian flag went up at the podium. Social media was in all praises for Sindhu and Sakshi flashing their photos and stories.

It must have been every youngster’s dream to achieve something huge such as what Sindhu and Sakshi have achieved. It must have been every parents’ aspiration to see their own children reach such great heights and to make them feel proud.

Parents? Or the coach? Of course all three of them! Sindhu worked really hard. Her determination, dedication, rigorous training from early morning

How to make the right career choice?

We live in a world where at every step we have to make decisions. Some decisions last only for moments and some life long. A decision to choose a right career is something that will have a long lasting impact in one’s life. This decision will either make one’s life or break one’s life. We live in a world where pressure from the society and high expectations from our near and dear ones are driving our key career decisions rather than allowing us to analyse our own capabilities to choose the perfect career for us. Students as young as 10 years old are now being sent for IIT coaching. Do we even think that the 10 years old is in a position to make a career choice? Even before the child can understand what career means and what career options are available, the door to choose his/her own career is shut. The high expectations from the child is already set without even realising if the child has the capacity and ability to face the tough competition in the IIT entrance exam and
