I want to find out are there any mistakes in my articles which is due for my school magazine ?

I fondly remember my first day at school the staircase , my father pointed me to climb and reach my class as i looked at his face --- still very immature to sense the amount of exhilaration he must have had --- i shrugged my shoulders and stubbornly climbed the stairs and kept on climbing the stairs when i finally -- though i thought i never would --- graduated high school . i would like to skip the intricacies of my adolescence and teen and jump straight to some confessions i would like to make . I am tired of the past and unable to make a future , high school was no wonderland , though everything seemed very easy going , you never know when life might make a heavy digression and force you to contemplate the mistakes , one made in his hay days of high school .So , i am not going to give you golden rules to avoid those digression but share some observations i made which might possibly help you .

From the very first day , when you are mature enough to realize that teachers don't buy your lame excuses for not bringing homework , you should think and find out the ares where you are actually good at , something which you enjoy doing , your " core competence " . Society is changing , parents are not forcing their children to join the huge diaspora of wannabe engineers and doctors . DON'T WALK THE LINE , take the road not taken only when you are sure you are good enough , and prove your mettle .

The sky above your head might be blue and brilliant now , but there are time when its orange and dusty and finally dark . Don't run away from challenges because we all now its going to be a blue sky in any time once we succeed .Learn to control your brimming emotions -- i think reader's are mature enough to understand the phrase "brimming emotion " -- and do not get swayed away by popular culture , never change yourself for the sake of being part of a mass which is cool only when we observe it at a distance, once we try to be one of the cool kid on the block ,we start and loose out on important things in life, these things at this age are oddly anachronistic . Set your priorities straight , things which might be fun at present can turn out drastic in future , be aware .

Pick out friends who stand by you at times of adversaries , if you are type of student who wiles away time and study at peak hours of examinations , you certainly need to change . Welcome change in life only when it makes you emotionally stronger , accountable and happy . Di-strain yourself from criticizing others . Demarcate yourself from discussions which are worthless . While keeping in mind of all of this , i don't mean you should not enjoy the precious moments of your school life , goof up friends bunk some classes but if you cant be serious at least BE SINCERE .



I know above mentioned things are anything new out of my thinking box, these are things which you already know , possibly from your parents and teachers , but these are things you hesitate to apply in your lifestyle in a admittedly long winding fashion.

I don't want you to end up in a situation where you repent for the times which have passed , Failure can take a toll on you , makes you socially inept bring flashbacks of harsh memories , you tend to cry your heart out when nobody is bothered to listen you , and you think of people you want to be with but can't . these are times when you feel worthless --- i am not exaggerating irritants in retrospect -- .

World remembers and respect people who are successful , nobody care about the those who are left behind . There is a famous quote

" What i aspired to be ,

What not confronts me "

keep track of your aspirations. Be supportive to people who are not at par with you . Sometimes when you pick up cell phone and wait for a call or a text message which says " buddy we are always with you . rise above your small trifles , if life gives you challenges it gives you a second chance as well , we choose our own success and failures times are flimsy now, but opulence is not far behind " .These words can boost up morale and at times moral support is all a guy /girl needs . Life is not a fairy tale , it doesn't mean that there are no happy ending at least i am waiting for one . Never give up and do no let anybody give up that easily and yeah keep smiling --- ADIOS
