Motivation modules.

  Motivation is too general a term to be specified. A child on the process of gestation, motivates a pregnant woman towards positive motherhood. After the child is born,the mother spends almost every moment, motivating the child at every stage in its growth, until it reaches adulthood. For most offsprings, parents are the close role models depending upon who performs the role of parenting better,between the father and mother.

  Every individual's chance of exposure to the world outside, in the form of educational institutions,friends and relatives,work spots, nature of jobs, places visited and fields associated with, turn to become motivating factors in a person's life.An individual's grasp of contexts and events, triggers the brain to react and evolve the overall personality of a person.

  The world has become a more complicated place today, on account of the various websites both social and informative,moving around everybody's life. When the world was small,with one's life routine being confined to one's home and hometown, things were easier to manage,and the mind of man had little or less chance for temptation to deviate from the preset objectives and goals.Cinema was the only distracting pull in the past. Whereas today, various pulls are there to distract and induce individuals,to deviate from their performance orientation.

  Values were held in high esteem in the past. Consequently, moral instruction classes were found to be valid in all schools,especially at the primary school learning stage. Contrarily, in a value shrinking universe, the fittest kind of motivation is to keep every block closely linked to the happenings around it,and help it learn survival lessons with competence but without crookedness. Even now, moral instruction classes at the primary learning stage could be made a vital part of the academic programme;but it should be done without any bearing on religion,because in a class of mixed religious groups,focus on any particular religion would become counter productive. 

   I believe lessons in language books in various states of India,have at least a couple of poems,essays,and short stories to expose the students to certain basic values of life such as self-esteem,self- confidence,personal integrity and respect for fellow human beings as well as all living beings.Language teachers have the paramount responsibility of infusing the aforesaid values into the nascent brains of the students,at the primary and secondary levels of education. Next to parents,it is the teaching section which is expected to be the chief motivating channel for students. 

  Public and private schools can be empowered to arrange for motivation lectures by learned and inspiring individuals,who have neither political lenience nor religious affiliation.Spiritual discourses belong to a separate zone and there are veteran speakers on spiritual topics,who occupy the centre stage outside the academic ambience, especially at various worship spots and religious forums.As far as schools are concerned, it is sensibly desirable to keep politics and religion outside its four walls.

  Any motivation lecture should be confined to building and promoting the physical and emotional wellbeing of a budding generation, so as to avoid the origin of prejudices or any controversial mind frames,besides enabling the posterity to successfully sail through the sea of humanity and survive effectively without causing nuisance to the changing currents and waves of the sea. 

 As late Dr.K.Chellappan, former Professor and Head of the Dept. of English, Bharathidasan University said in a You tube compiled video programme,every individual can prefer to be "an imperfect human being,to the frozen universe",because only imperfection cries for perfection. The cry for perfection should be generated in the minds of the youth through motivation lectures,by linking the present to the future, setting both individual and collective happiness and peace of mankind, as the combined goals of mankind.In this regard,evolution,experience, enlightenment,and empathy are the four pillars of humanity and motivation modules should be exclusively concretised,to strengthen these four pillars.

  1. A child develops itself at the hands of mother, father, teacher and the Almighty!
    The four Es are the pillars on which the child is moulded!
