              Examinations are essential component of our system of education and even a few marks this or that side makes a student nervous. This is the reason why exams come with a lot of anxiety and expectation. Whether we like it or not, 'you cannot do all this' is needed at the last minute. However, now that it is too late to start worrying about what you didnt do months ago, concentrate on what you CAN do NOW. So go ahead and use the ASPIRE stratergy recommended be experts to crack your exams.....

A: APPROACH- ATTITUDE:-Approach ur studies with a positive attitude. Avoid negative thinking. Instead of arguing with yourself and thinking about how aweful everything is and how you feel sure you'll fail, rather strike up a positive dialogue. Psychologists say that the way you choose to think about what is happening to you, influences what will happen. So you decide that you can be sucessful and cheerful, and then you can manage that equally well....


S: SCAN:- Select what you have to study and Scan it completely . From all the study material, decide which one you want to study on priority. Once it is done take lots of notes and write down key points. Visualize what you are learning. This means that you scan whatever you are studying completely....


P: PIECE TOGETHER THE PARTS:- Piece together what you've studied. Put aside your books and notes and try to recollect and reframe you have studied. Grasp the basic idea and explain it to someone else in your own words. Summmarize what you understand and revise it either alone or with friends or ask your parents or siblings to do with you. If you go over what you've learned for just five minutes immediately after you've learned it, your retention will be far better....


I: INQUIRE:- Inquire whether there are alternative resources of information: You should access all sources of information that willl help you. There could be other text books, question papers of the earlier years or question papers of other schools that you can takefrom friends. Set a time and try solving these question papers. This will help you gain confidence and you will be well prepared with your time management....


R: REEXAMINE:- Re-examine the content:
After you have finished with ur studies,make cues to help you recall the words that u are trying to remember. Reexamine what you have studied from the point of view of an examiner. Think which probable questions can be asked. You can do a brief study of the earlier question papers to arrive at this answer.....


E: EVALUATE Evaluate ur studies honestly. Dont fool yourself. If there is something that you know you have not done well,then accept it. While trying to solve the question papers as revision, be honest in your eveluation. Revise the answers that you are not very sure of. Writing down answers and evaluating them is a great way to remember them....

STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS..

"FAILURE CAN BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, IF YOU OVERCOME IT
 WITH COURAGE AND HAVE THE WILL TO RISE HIGHER.."

A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that he would not become anything in life.. Today the world knows the boy as 'ALBERT EINSTEIN'

A candidate for  a news broadcasters post was rejected by officials since his voice was not fit for a news broadcaster. He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never be famous...Today the world knows him as 'AMITABH BACHCHAN'
                
The list is endless....

          The paths of numerous success stories are bereft with such accounts of failure or disillusionment. But what make their endings different are the lessons they learnt from these experiments. Through each of their tribulations, they gained strength and confidence to start afresh and eventually emerge victorious....
          Failure is one of the toughest things to deal with and it happens so frequently in life. It could be simple things like missing out on the top position in the examinations or loosing in a race or failing in an academic year. But the way an individual reacts to each of the instances is what  defines the intensity of the failure. While some way may take it up as a challenge and move on to overcome it, some may wallow in self-pity, lose their confidence and succumb to it. The underlying fact is that success is the result of bouncing back during times of discouragement.
         When Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said,"I never failed one. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process." Edison used discouragement as a stepping stone to achievement. Each failure was a challenge to try harder. He achieved his goal because he had a vision that motivated him. It does because he had a vision that motivated him. It does not matter how many years a person spent in classrooms or what people around have to say. What is required is your own motivation to achieve your goal. Failure feels so bad because it directly affects our ego.
          In today's world, the race of cut-throat academic excellence has changed the parameters of defining success and failure. What you perceive as failure need not necessarily be one. Such instances make us realize that we need to make our children understand the true dimension of failure. It is the way you shape your destiny and conquer each step in life that conquer each step in life that determines your success. Remember the time when as an infant you were learning to walk and each time you fell, you would just get up and try again... So, what's stopping you today?

A SHORT AND NICE STORY..:)

                                          NEVER GIVE UP

      I think many people might know this story. But this story is for them who don't know about it. But when I read this story for the first time, it really touched my heart. Now I think differently about life. Hope you like it..:) 

     There was a farmer who owned a donkey. The farmer used to pack all the vegetables on the  donkey's back and go to the market everyday to sell them. Over the years, the donkey became old and tired, and  it would take a long time to reach the destination. One day on their way back from market, the farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. But finally, he decided the animal was old, so it was better to let him be there. Also, the village well needed to  be covered up anyway; so the farmer thought it just was not worth it to retrieve the donkey.

          With the idea of covering ut the well, the farmer invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realised what was happening and kept howling and crying continuously. Then, to everyone's amazement he became quiet. A few shovel lods later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. he would shake it off and take a step up. The farmer stopped shoveling dirt and looked at the donkey with wonder. But the neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal. As this continued, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon everyone was amazed to see the donkey step up over the edge of the well. He came out and shook the last bit of dirt on him and happily trooted off!

          So. remember,"Life Is Going To Shovel Dirt On You, All Kinds Of Dirt. The trick To Getting Out Of The Well Is To Shake It Off And Take A Step Up. Each Of Our Troubles Is A Steppingstone. We Can  Get Out Of The Deepest Wells By Not Stopping And Never Giving Up. Shake It Off And Take A Step Up!" :D

Ad agencies, publication- houses , media schools, press, etc usually hire aspiring cartoonists. Besides, various sectors like animation, web designing etc. hold great scope for future cartoonist". He/she should have a good knowledge of graphic art software. Thus a cartoonist is almost a powerful journalist . Instead of words, he/she uses the visual medium to convey his/her point of view to the readers.

Actual Tasking:-

In an electronic media, motion cartoonists work with the audio- visual media and computers. They make animated cartoon films for television or print media. Walt Disney  was the first motion cartoonist to bring forward this amazing field of  portraying imaginations.
