Happiness is hard to define but most people are aware of whether they are happy or not. Many people believe that happiness is a form of luck and that some people are destined to be happy while others are destined to be unhappy. I am trying to incorporate few tips into my life and have had great success in achieving happiness. The tips in this article are small but meaningful steps that you can take each day to lead you to true happiness.

 Here are, Some important hints to attain happiness in our lives………….

Ø  Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your mood will very likely increase as your pursue your goal because you will feel better about yourself for going after something you value.

Ø   Exercise and nutrition much important for health which leads to happy life. Exercise involves doing workouts, farming, walking, swimming among others. Mental exercise includes meditation, humming, appreciation of nature and much more. Those who don’t exercise regularly are less productive  than of those do.

Ø Nutrition is the most important for healthy and happy life. Balance diet is necessary for proper functioning of life. Eating fruits and vegetables so important. Plants have HDL lipids that are good for health.

Ø Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. While there are times that require you to be serious, find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you unhappy.

Ø Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy. These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continued happiness.

Ø Interactive Social behavior also make us happy, helping  others make us happy. When you give, you’re more likely to get back, when you give to others, your generosity is likely to be rewarded by others down the line—sometimes by the person you gave to, sometimes by someone else.

Ø Think positive, be positive, love nature, appreciate beauty of nature. Emotionally be good act positively. A vast scientific literature has detailed how negative emotions harm the body. Serious, sustained stress or fear can alter biological systems in a way that, over time, adds up to “wear and tear” and, eventually, illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Chronic anger and anxiety can disrupt cardiac function by changing the heart’s electrical stability, hastening atherosclerosis, and increasing systemic inflammation.

Ø Taking rest after working or mental fatigue is very helpful and useful for health and happiness.

Some sayings,

Ø  If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone 

Ø Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.

Ø “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” (Buddha)

Teamwork

Teamwork

Dictionary defines as “work done by several associates with each doing a part but all subordinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole “ (Merriam Webster)

          A widely understood and interesting concept in the management jargon, extended form of the word TEAM, is:

T–Together
E–Everyone
A–Achieves
M – More

        The concept of Together Everyone Achieves More itself conveys the importance of teamwork at the workplace and other places. For years now, organizational leaders have recognized the added value that comes from having employees work in formal or informal teams. However, over the last two decades, even greater emphasis has been placed on working together in a team. Team-building and team-work skills are essential in the workplace and highly desirable skills to possess when seeking a new job or promotion. Teams working at their potential generate more productivity and offer better solutions than if all of them work independently.

Significance Of Teamwork At The Workplace

 Teamwork in a company or organization has great importance for more than one reasons. Companies, who have adopted this concept, have reported increased performance in work production. This group project approach has improved employee morale and increased input when managed correctly. The benefits of teamwork can make a positive effect on the company that incorporates this type of teamwork approach. Let us discuss the significance of teamwork in the workplace, which can benefit the employees in a number of different ways:

Sharing Workload

Building Mutual Associations

Increased Work Pace

Learning Opportunities

Lessening Risks

A Healthy Competition

Mutual Creativity

Developing relationships

Everyone has unique qualities

      While working in a team, you will never be alone while coming up with an idea; you will always have some other professionals thinking on the same lines, who might suggest  a better idea. Suggestions, advices and mutual brainstorming can help employees in generating novel ideas and bringing out the creativity in their projects.

Concluding Ideas

You must have noticed that the list of advantages points out to two basic facts that work, when distributed, reduces workload, and a reduced amount of work ensures optimization and efficiency. Effective teamwork in the workplace benefits the organization by increasing the individual productivity, which is important in order to achieve the targets and fulfill commitments. Also, teamwork decreases the non-productive hours, which therefore increases productivity and ensures maximum utilization of manpower. This is the reason why companies are promoting teamwork at workplaces.

Co-curricular Activities

Co-curricular Activities

               A healthy mind in a healthy body is the key to all-round development and this is ensured through various leisure activities and physical sports.

Objectives should be:

1.   To give children ample opportunities for self expression.

2.  To teach social co-operation by providing experiences in group living.

3.   To make children aware of their social responsibilities.

4.   To prepare children for better leadership and fellowship.

5.   To develop in children high standards of aesthetic sense, ethics, discipline, sportsmanship and social spirit.

6.  To give them training in democratic citizenship.

Co-curricular activities (CCAs), previously known as Extracurricular Activities (ECA) are non-academic activities. As a means to enhance social interaction, leadership, healthy recreation, self-discipline and self-confidence.

Through CCAs, students in their early teens are often given actual public responsibilities. Red Cross and SJAB members, for example, are often required to render first aid at public events. Most uniformed groups require precision, management and organizational skills, providing training to prepare students for the outside world.

In polytechnics and universities (tertiary education institutes), CCA records are considered by potential employers.

CCA choices vary widely from school to school, although schools at each education level are required to conform to national standards prescribed for that level.

In primary schools, CCAs are often introduced to students at Primary Three. Not all primary schools make CCA participation compulsory. In primary schools, Brownies are likened to junior Girl Guides.

In secondary schools, CCAs are treated more seriously. Students are required to pick at least one Core CCA to join at Secondary One. Belonging to a Core CCA is compulsory, and the students may choose a second CCA if they wish. At the end of the fourth/fifth year, 1 to 2 'O' Level points are removed from the examination aggregate (a lower aggregate indicates better marks). Although the marks are few, it is believed by many that they may make a difference when the students are considered for the most popular post-secondary educational institutions. For example, one minimum prerequisite for admission some schools at Year Five, via the 'O' Levels, is an already perfect score with the maximum of 4 points removed.

At the Primary School campus, the children are gradually prepared for challenges to come in their schooling and ahead in their lives. The initial thrust of the learning program is the establishment of skills, while providing exposure to and developing curiosity for various activities

         

                    An aim of the co-curricular program is to empower students in their own learning journeys.  Some campuses operate a Student Representative Council where students are able to discuss, plan and activate suggestions which may lead to charity collections or achieving specific goals to benefit the school community. Learning the joy of service is a desired outcome of such activities in the schools.
