Leadership Skills Series #2

Continuing with my leadership skill series, here is the 2nd lesson.

LEADERSHIP #2 ~ BE CALM

It is very important that leaders have a sense of natural calmness. It doesn't mean that you should not get excited, but leaders face many stressful and irritating problems. At this time of distress and uncertainty, most group members look up to leaders for help.

You must be calm and gentle to your fellow colleagues because unwanted scolding and arguments lead to bad results as well as bad relationships with team members. You may want to take some time off to unwind and relax, even if a deadline is approaching. For this, my post on how to relax will help you. 

So keep a smile, believe in yourself and trust each other and your group will too.

HAPPY LEADERSHIP!

Leadership Skills Series #1

Introducing the Leadership Skills Series

Hey guys! Everyone wants to be a group leader, but when it comes to actual leading, many people, even the experienced ones aren't able to handle the problems. So today, I would like to share a few basic tips on leadership skills for kids as well as grown-ups~

#1 - Time Management

One of the most important skills of leadership is to know how to manage your time. You should learn this, as most projects require a lot of hard work and time. You must make sets of time for everything. Try not to be behind schedule and inspire your mates to do the same.

'Better three hours too soon than one minute too late' , a beautiful quote by William Shakespeare tells us about the importance of even a single minute lost. Time is very precious, once it is lost, it cannot be regained. Everybody has equal time and the one who uses it the most productively is worthy of being a leader. So, to conclude this brief explanation, here is a one line tip-

 You should use your time judiciously and that will make you a better leader.

Mother Earth

Mother Earth

- A poem by Tanvee Maheshwari


The world gets ready for doom
Any doubt about this has no room

With tempest and storm
And tsunamis that warn

When Earth says enough is enough
And Nature decides to play rough

There shall be gloom and pain
And all this, in vain

So, please heed the words that I say
Have fun and respect Mother Earth every day

A Precious Vote

A Precious Vote 


You,the children, 
Don't have a vote, 
But of your needs, 
We must take a note


You are our future, 
and will make our country great,
We must start with you,
we must educate!


Children need to play,                
This, we must facilitate              
So cast your precious vote right,
Do it NOW, why the wait??

Out of my window

Out of my window

A poem by Tanvee Maheshwari



Out of my window,
I see day and night
I see the sun and moon 
and how they spread their light


Out of my window, 
I see grasses growing tall
I see trees bearing fruits,
and when those fruits fall


Out of my window,
I see history being made,
when god suddenly appears
and the foundation of love & peace is laid.

How to make New Year Resolutions


New Year resolutions……well, not an easy list to make when it’s the end of a year and a beginning of one while you’re so excited. But hey, worry not because I’m here to help you. 

Here is how you can make your New Year resolutions easily

MAKE A RESOLUTION THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY FOLLOW AND MAKE IT EASY

Many times you make tough resolutions and leave it like that. End of story. Each time you go through your list, you think it is hard to do so you just leave it alone and at last, it does not get accomplished. So, in order to prevent that, have a short, sweet and simple resolution

DO NOT RUSH FOR TOO MANY

Don’t rush for 20 not-so-good resolutions when 4-5 resolutions will do, just as long as you follow them ; )

MAKE A CREATIVE ONE THAT YOU HAVE A KNACK FOR

Just ask yourself, ‘You can make thousands of resolutions, but will you have the same spirit and energy level for each one?’ Didn’t understand? Let me give you an example-
If you look through your list, and see one resolution, you leave it for another time looking for a more interesting resolution, but no, you should have a resolution that at the moment you look at it, you jump off your seat and think, ‘this seems interesting, let’s do it right away. ‘

 DON’T AIM FOR BIG RESOLUTIONS

It isn’t a necessity to make a resolution that will have an impact on your whole life,

Even a small resolution like, do so and so craft , or visit so and so place, should be more than enough.


SOME IDEAS

Lastly, here are some ideas for New Year resolutions that you can follow:
  • Go Eco-friendly and use only paper or cloth bags
  • Make DIY pom – poms
  • Keep a personal journal or diary
  • Visit _______ (your dream destination here)
  • Pick up a hobby
  • Do yoga / exercise
  • Lose weight
  • Read more books
  • Join any workshop / summer camp / classes
  • Make a bucket list and tick something off




Thanks for reading my post. I will be back soon. Until then, HAPPY NEW YEAR and happy resolutions :-)

A Friend Indeed

A Friend Indeed

A Poem by Tanvee Maheshwari

You are my Friend,
Who loves to defend,
Me from my problems,
So warm hugs I wish to extend!

Our journey is long,
Sometimes we are right,
Sometimes we are wrong

We shall stick together,
No matter whatever,
May it be any weather,
Always and Forever.

You are so beautiful,
You are so cute,
And if there is one person,
For whom you always root.

You know I am talking to you,
Dear Friend,
On this special occasion,
I wish to salute you.

For you are my Friend,
Who loves to defend,
Me from my problems,
So warm hugs I wish to extend!

The Ride of Life

The Ride of Life

A Poem By Tanvee Maheshwari

I went for a walk,
Deep in the woods,
Where I stood
On a heavy rock.

The wind blew,
The Leaves of the pine trees rustled,
I saw a raging river,
It was really a nice view.
 
The Sun was setting,
The sky was dark,
I felt something magical
Right in my heart!
 
I was in a forest,
Covered by trees,
On whom sat owls
With foxes that howled.
 
On a dusty path,
A stone's throw
Below a rocky ledge
Was a river very shallow.
 
The horizon seemed to stretch,
Far and wide,
Where the world ended
There began a New Ride!
 
 
 
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS THE "RIDE OF LIFE" !!!
