(DISTINGUISHED CLUB PROGRAM)

The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program, running from July 1 through June 30.

The program consists of 10 goals your club should strive to achieve during this time using the

Club Success Plan as a guide. World Headquarters tracks the progress of your club toward these

goals throughout the year, sending quarterly progress reminders to the club president. At year-end,

World Headquarters calculates the number of goals the club achieved and recognizes it as a

Distinguished Club, Select Distinguished Club or Presidents Distinguished Club based on the

number of goals achieved and the number of members it has.

A. DISTINGUISHED CLUB PROGRAM (D.C.P)

membership prerequisite and achieved nine or 10 of the 10 goals.

Select Distinguished Club - the club met the membership prerequisite and achieved seven or

Money Attitude Your Money Psychology

Facilitator: Laura Kung

Money is an important part of life; it affects us in all areas of our lives either directly or

indirectly. Money affects our relationships, our career choices, education and so on, but what is

even more of importance is our attitude towards money. How do you feel about money, what

thoughts come to mind when you think about money, how do you use money and most

importantly why do you have the attitude? This is not so much about how important money is to

you, but more about the underlying reason and emotions about money.

What is Money Attitude?

We have believes and attitudes about everything of importance to us, we have an attitude towards

religion, war, fashion etc. and of course we also have an attitude towards money. Money attitude is

your beliefs about money; what does money mean to you, what does it represent? How do you feel

about money? How much does money influence your non-financial decisions? Money attitude is

your way of thinking about money.

How is Money Attitude Established?

Everyone has an attitude towards money, for some money is a central issue, for others money is just

a tool, yet some use money to control things and people. How do we develop our money attitude?

Is it a learned behavior and can we change it? As with many attitudes and behaviors money attitude

is mainly a learned behavior (although psychologists will continue the nature vs. nurture debate),

how you perceive money will heavily depend on your childhood and the environment you grew up

in. Did your parents fight about money? Did a parent control the other with money? Did you have

wealthy parents who lend you their credit cards? Your past experience and environment is the

biggest factor to your money attitude, the good news is that money attitude is a learned behavior

and what is learned can be unlearned.

Your Money Attitude

Given that money affects many areas of our lives it is important for you to have a good

understanding of your money attitude. Have you ever taken some time to analyze your emotions

about money? If not than this is the perfect time to analyze your money attitude, get a better

understanding of your perception of money, how do you feel about money?

Why Care About Your Money Attitude?

56

Our emotions control most of our behavior; these can be desirable behaviors or undesirable. Many

of the choices we make in life from marriage to careers and education all stem from our emotions.

Making financial decisions is not any different than any other decisions we make in life; do you feel

that it is important to show how much money you have? Maybe your parents grew up during the

war and great depression and you have learned importance of saving for a rainy day. No matter

what your money attitude is, if you want to have a better understanding of you finances, control

your finances and make changes to your undesirable financial behaviors than you need to

understand your money attitude.

Questions:

1. How do you manage your money? Would you spend it all or deposit it into your savings account

(at the end of every month)?

2. If you win a lottery, what would you do with that money?

3. Do you think money would affect ones characteristics? In what ways?

4. Life can be harsh, what would you do today if you lost all your money? ( your bank account

balance is $0)

Words and Their Stories: Dog Talk

Facilitator: Jason Hsu

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States

love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play

outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners

to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life,

describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are

competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a

person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such

hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if

they became sick as a dog.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a

successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn

new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new trick.

They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change

the way they do things.

Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring

can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places

where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to

guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.

However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really

not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.

A junkyard is not a fun place for a dog. Many dogs in the United States sleep in safe

little houses near their owners' home. These doghouses provide shelter. Yet they

can be cold and lonely in the winter.

Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For

example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or

forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse.

She may not treat him nicely until he apologizes. However, the husband may decide

that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide

to let sleeping dogs lie.

58

Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer

are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not

want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

Questions:

1. Which idioms()do you think is the most interesting? Why?

2. Do you know any other interesting words that contain animals in them?

3. Some people say Dogs are the most faithful friends. Do you agree with it?

4. Do you like animals? Do you keep any pets in your house? If you dont, do you want to keep

any?

Coffee may prevent depression

Facilitator: Daiquiri

Women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to get depressed,

research suggests.

It is not clear why it might have this effect, but the authors believe caffeine in coffee may alter

the brain's chemistry. Caffeine-less coffee did not have the same effect. Researchers say it is certainly

too soon to start recommending that women should drink more coffee to lift mood.

Caffeine lift

More of women tended to be non- or low-coffee drinkers rather than frequent coffee consumers.

Compared with women who drank one cup of caffeinated coffee or less per week, those who

consumed two to three cups per day had a 15% decreased risk of developing depression. Those who

drank four or more cups a day cut their risk by 20%.

Regular coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke and drink alcohol and were less likely to be

involved in church, volunteer or community groups. They were also less likely to be overweight and

have high blood pressure or diabetes().

Evidence

The researchers say their findings add weight to the work of others which found lower suicide

rates among coffee drinkers. They suspect caffeine is the key player - it is known to enhance feelings

of well-being and energy. And it has a physical effect on brain function by altering chemical

pathways. But more research is needed to be provided if this might mean it is useful for keeping

away depression.

Alternatively, it might be that people with low moods chose not to drink coffee because it

contained caffeine, point out the researchers. One of the common symptoms of depression is

disturbed sleep, and caffeine can worsen this because it is a stimulant.

Too much caffeine can also increase feelings of anxiety.

This fits nicely with a lot of the previous work and what we know about caffeine and the brain.

Researcher said, It blocks adenosine(), which produces a similar effect to increasing

dopamine() production. And it's becoming increasingly clear that the dopamine-rich areas of

the brain are much more important in depression than previously thought.

62

Despite brave efforts to show how dangerous coffee is for us, it is not proving so.

This removes yet another anxiety regarding caffeine use. Drunk in moderation, the evidence is

strong that it is not one of the things we do that is going to damage your health.

Q1: Do you like drinking coffee? If so, how much coffee do you drink per week?

Q2: Is there anything else you know about coffee?

Q3: What kind of beverages do you like to drink? Why?

Q4: What would you do when you are in the bad mood?

Humanity vs. Nature

Humanity cannot live without nature, but nature can live without humanity

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Just after Christmas Day, 2004, the Earth experienced one of the largest earthquakes in recorded

history (a 9.0) under the waters of the Indian Ocean. We also witnessed a barrage of unusual

hurricanes during the summer of 2004 off the coast of Florida and across the South Atlantic. And as I

write this, a record blizzard is burying Boston under 40 - 50 inches of snow. Freak weather and

natural disasters suddenly seems to be the norm.

Simultaneously, we're dealing with superbugs in our nation's hospitals that are resistant to all

known antibiotics()On the other side of the globe in Vietnam, we're witnessing a frightening

progression in the spread of the H1N1 bird flu virus. It has now spread to 232 communes in 23 cities.

Do the math on this one:

Jan 7: 25 communities infected Jan 17: 112 communities infected Jan 19: 160 communities

infected Jan 20: 179 communities infected Jan 21: 232 communities infected

These are actual statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam.

And that's not the end of the weirdness. Twenty percent of the world's coral reefs have been

destroyed. The fish in the open ocean are poisoned with mercury to such levels that some fish

contain twenty times the acceptable limit of mercury, according to EPA ()standards.

While all this is going on, we still have infectious diseases coming out of Zaire, Africa, mutating in

South East Asia and threatening humanity. Ebola, for example.

What's going on here? What's happening to our planet? The answer is that humanity has not yet

learned how to live in harmony with nature. And much that we're seeing today in terms of natural

disasters, outbreaks, superbugs, and the destruction of ecosystems is a direct result of mankind's

inability or unwillingness to respect nature. Some people characterize this as "Nature's Revenge."

They say nature is getting back at man and is planning to wipe out humanity to return to its own

natural balance. Personally I don't attribute such vengeance to nature; nature isn't vengeful. It is,

however, quite blunt... it can also be interpreted as cruel. A tiger chasing down a gazelle on the

plains of Africa is savage and cruel, and yet it is part of the natural balance, the ecosystem that

ultimately supports the populations of both gazelles and tigers.

It's not that nature intends to punish humanity, it's just that humanity's actions create natural

effects. This is a simple cause and effect chain: if we continue to destroy the environment and

terrorize the ecosystems of this planet, there are going to be consequences. Those consequences will,

one way or another, ultimately bring the planet back into balance. It is humanity's decision whether

that balance will include the human race.

64

Nature is resilient, but even it cannot be continually poisoned in the way it is being poisoned

today by the actions of human beings. Should we, as the human race, fail to heed the warnings we're

seeing right now, I fear that the destructive effects will escalate.

Among all the potential side effects such as bizarre weather patterns, the wiping out of

non-diverse genetically engineered crops, and the destruction of ecosystems on both land and water,

I think the worst effect is probably going to be the emergence of deadly contagious diseases. They

exist already, of course: we have SARS, AIDS, Ebola, Marburg(), tuberculosis,

encephalitis(), meningitis(), malaria(), smallpox() and influenza in all its

various strains. When the Earth is in a healthy ecosystem balance, these diseases tend to be kept

under control. But now, as we are wounding the planet, we are directly encouraging a situation in

which these agents could be unleashed upon the human population by nature itself. Forget about

bioterrorists -- nature is the biggest threat to human life as we know it on this planet, simply because

modern human life is largely a threat to nature. Unless we learn from our lessons and find a way

to honor and respect the very planet that has given us life, this planet will take it away from us.

In response to all this, you might say, "How can mankind affect weather patterns and encourage

natural disasters?" It's easy: global dimming. Since the industrial revolution, we've thrown more

particulate matter into the atmosphere than the largest volcanoes in history. The effect? Global

dimming. Less light is reaching the surface of the planet today than at any time since the last great

volcanic blowout. That, in turn, affects ocean water temperature, which alters water currents, which

alters water evaporation, which alters weather patterns, which leads to unnatural variation in those

weather patterns (i.e. natural disasters).

And that's just the global dimming effect. It doesn't even count how we're poisoning rivers and

streams, obliterating the rainforest, destroying ocean ecosystems, and now we're even poisoning our

own water supplies with traces of prescription drugs. How stupid is that? We even poison ourselves.

So much for "advanced civilization."

We've done it to ourselves. And the more I learn about this subject and the long-term viability of

societies, I'm increasingly convinced that we are headed down a path of certain self-destruction. Our

behavior is simply not sustainable. Either we learn how to respect nature, or we'll be wiped out and

nature will make the adjustments for us. Because without the impact of humanity, the planet would

heal itself in a mere 5,000 years, probably. And that's the blink of an eye in the lifetime of our planet.

Earth can shrug off humanity without breaking a sweat.

Eat With Your Heart

Facilitators: Jasons

A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve general health. It is important for lowering many

chronic health risks, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. A healthy diet

involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water.

Nutrients can be obtained from many different foods, so there are numerous diets that may be considered

healthy. A healthy diet needs to have a balance of macronutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates),

calories to support energy needs, and micronutrients to meet the needs for human nutrition without

inducing toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive amounts.

Hypertension

A low sodium diet is beneficial for people with high blood pressure. A Cochrane review published in 2008

concluded that a long term (more than 4 weeks) low sodium diet in Caucasians has a useful effect to

reduce blood pressure, both in people with hypertension and in people with normal blood pressure.

The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a diet promoted by the National Heart, Lung,

and Blood Institute (part of the NIH, a United States government organization) to control hypertension. A

major feature of the plan is limiting intake of sodium, and it also generally encourages the consumption of

nuts, whole grains, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables while lowering the consumption of red meats,

sweets, and sugar. It is also "rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium, as well as protein". Evidence

shows that the Mediterranean diet improves cardiovascular outcomes.

Obesity

Weight control diets aim to maintain a controlled weight. In most cases dieting is used in combination with

physical exercise to lose weight in those who are overweight or obese.

Diets to promote weight loss are generally divided into four categories: low-fat, low-carbohydrate,

low-calorie, and very low calorie. A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials found no difference

between the main diet types (low calorie, low carbohydrate, and low fat), with a 24 kilogram weight loss

in all studies. At two years, all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the

macronutrients emphasized.

Cancer prevention

66

A comprehensive worldwide report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a

Global Perspective, compiled by World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research,

reports that there is significant relation between lifestyle (including food consumption) and cancer

prevention. The same report recommends eating mostly foods of plant origin and aiming to meet

nutritional needs through diet alone, while limiting consumption of energy-dense foods, red meat,

alcoholic drinks and salt and avoiding sugary drinks, and processed meat.

Gift cards are not gifts

Facilitators: Near Date: 11/8 (Tues.)

Holidays have rapidly devolved into what amounts to an exchange of cash. A gift card says nothing

about the personality of the recipient -- but it says lots about the giver.

By Liz Pulliam Weston

Gift cards are incredibly popular. They're also an oxymoron.

A gift, ideally, says, "I thought about you. I considered

your likes and dislikes, your needs and wants, your dreams

and desires, and found you this token of my esteem that I hope

will delight you."

A gift card says, "There! Checked you off my list."

It's not just me that says so. Judith Martin, the doyenne of etiquette known to millions as Miss

Manners, dismisses gift certificates -- and, by extension, gift cards -- as "a pathetic compromise

convenient to people who do not trust their judgment about selecting the right present for those

whose tastes they ought to know."

Think about it. Would a lover, in the flush of romance, lean close to the object of his affection and

present . . . a gift card? Would proud grandparents present the latest addition to the family with . . . a

gift card? Would your best and closest friend, the one you've known for years, who's stuck with you

through the roller-coaster ride of life, walk into your hospital room and give you . . . a gift card?

(If the answer to any of those questions is yes, by the way, you need to start hanging with a better

class of people.)

It's not that I've never given a gift card. I have, three times that I can remember. But I viewed these

cards as what they were: a cop-out, an admission that I had grown so out of touch with the recipients

that I didn't know what would please them. In two cases, I used the experience as a prod to spend

more time with the giftees and get to know them better. In the third instance, I finally decided that

what had been a close friendship no longer was and ended the gift exchange -- to mutual relief.

It's also not that I don't understand the practical aspects of the gift card. I do. I just can't help

mourning the passing of a lovely tradition, one that helped us focus on each other and had the

potential to bring us closer.

How would I have felt, for example, about the new friend I rushed to the hospital one night had she

thanked me with a gift card rather than a basket of chocolate-dipped strawberries, each more luscious

than the last? Of course, no gift was expected or required, but her thoughtfulness created a bond.

68

Or would I have felt nearly as welcomed by my new mother-in-law if, on my first Christmas as a

wife, she'd presented me with a gift card rather than the antique soup tureen that had been in her

family for years? Her present told me I was part of the family.

If you find yourself purchasing gift cards, maybe the solution is to buy less and think more. Do these

folks really need to be on your gift list, or would you all be better off getting together for coffee or

drinks and skipping the exchange? If you really need and want to purchase a gift, maybe you can

start brainstorming ideas year-round, rather than panicking at the last minute and settling for a piece

of plastic.

If you really must buy gift cards, then at least:

Make certain events off limits. Even etiquette expert Peter Post, who believes gift cards have

become acceptable in many situations, makes a distinction between cards and "real gifts." There are

certain situations, such as weddings, where "you should give a real gift rather than a gift card," says

Post, great-grandson of manners icon Emily Post. Valentine's Day and anniversaries are other

situations that call for the real deal.

Combine a card with a real gift. If you want, it can even be from the same retailer that's providing

the gift card to facilitate returns. Even a small gesture is better than none at all.

Think twice before giving one to someone you love. If you ever shared a home with the recipient,

you can -- and should -- do better by them.

Don't add to the recipient's burdens. If your recipient would have any trouble redeeming the card,

don't give it. "It probably wouldn't be appropriate to give one to your grandmother in her 80s,"

particularly if she suffers from limited mobility, said Post, author of "Essential Manners for

Couples." "It's not for (a recipient) who finds shopping more of a burden than a pleasure."

and Thursday, exclusively on MSN Money. She also answers reader questions on the Your Money

message board.

Healthy Twists on the Thanksgiving Feast

Facilitator: Tim Date: 11/15 (Tues.)

Between the appetizers, turkey, gravy, biscuits, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pies, and luscious leftovers that

come with the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, it's not surprising many people gain a few pounds over the

gluttonous three days. But there are plenty of ways to wholeheartedly celebrate and cut calories. Consider

one or all of the following X tips, which can help you get through the holiday with plenty of flavor but far

less fat.

Swap Mashed Potatoes for Mashed or Pureed Cauliflower

If you've never had pureed cauliflower, you probably don't know that it does a pretty good job of

mimicking mashed potatoes-especially considering the latter is mostly a vehicle for the flavor of the gravy

that usually accompanies it. Even better, it's a spectacularly high-protein, low-carbs, good-fiber option,

which means you'll still be ahead of the game if you include milk, cream, or butter in your cauliflower

mash.

Skip the Skin

Try serving the turkey skin-free. Removing the skin drastically diminishes the amount of fat and

cholesterol per serving and chances are, your guests won't even notice. And if you're a guest and the

turkey's been presented with the skin, just quietly remove it before you begin eating. You'll save a boatload

of calories better spent on some of the other delicious side dishes!

Freshen up the Green Bean Casserole

Yes, the rib-gripping, delicious green bean casserole is a classic, but it's also got a heck of a lot of calories

and can be substituted with something fresher, healthier, and equally delicious. Like what? Fresh steamed

or boiled string beans! Top them with butter and salt and they'll make a fantastic counterpoint to the heavy

meal. Or sprinkle them with toasted almond slivers or fried onion strings for a little indulgence.

70

Swap Candied Yams for Mashed Yams

Rather than reaching for canned yams and marshmallows this year, try baking them yourself and serving

them mashed with a little butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon. After all, yams are naturally

sweet. So you don't need to smother them in brown sugar. Plus, you'll feel better about indulging in dessert

if you don't also have a side of it with dinner!

Ban the Bacon

Thanksgiving is the one time each year when cooks shamelessly use bacon to make their dishes more

delicious. Think about it: Aunt Becky's stuffing has bacon in it, right? And the green beans Susan makes?

Yep, those are big chunks of bacon floating in the green stalks. A few cooks even wrap their turkeys in

bacon! (We're not kidding.) While bacon is admittedly yummy, it's a surefire way to add several hundred

calories to your overall Thanksgiving caloric intake. Our suggestion? If a dish has bacon in it, skip it.

Offer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Did you know that the average pie shell (or crust) has more than 1,000 calories? Eliminate it from the

traditional dessert and you can have all the flavor with far less guilt. All you need to do is pour your

favorite pumpkin pie filling into a pie plate nestled in a deep 15-by-10-inch baking pan, add one half inch

of hot water to pan, and bake at 350 F for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out

clean.

Choose Either Cocktails or Dessert

Got will power? Use it here and decide whether to partake in a few cocktails or indulge in an after-dinner

confection. If you only treat yourself to one or the other, you'll save a bunch of calories and feel better the

following morning. But if you choose cocktails, make sure your lowered inhibitions don't overcome your

strong will when the pumpkin pie is served!

Question :

9. Would you like to celebrate thanks giving? Why? 10. Whats your experience in cooking? Or will you cook in the future? Why? 11. What your opinion between healthy food and delicious food? 12. If you could control your meals every day, how will you want it to be?

School Life

Facilitator: Apple]-[eaD

School life is very important part of one's life, because it provides opportunity for study and discipline.

Besides these, the school life is a preparatory stage for entering public life.

School plays an important role in widening the outlook of students. Virtues such as perseverance, sincerity,

truthfulness, tolerance, discipline and obedience developed in pupils. School provides opportunity to the

students to be disciplined. They show discipline in class room, play ground, hostel, and library at other places.

School is a meeting place of students and teachers. From here, a student learns how to adjust himself with the

society at later part of life.

The school life is generally a period of youth. In school, all the students read in a spirit of togetherness. They

forget their joys and sorrows. They read together, play together and sit together. In these days their minds

contain some youthful dreams which come true as they grow in age.

School is the right place for the fulfillment of the youthful desires. Students take part in games and sports,

drama, essay competition, song and debate competitions etc. School also gives the foundation for the budding

poets, scientists, writers, doctors, engineers, painters and musicians. It is in school that the students enjoy the

affection of their teachers.

Teachers act as the guides and guardians to guide them on the right path. In school, teachers try to remove the

evils from the students by sowing some seeds of good qualities in them.

In library, debate class and in competitions, students get proper scope to improve their knowledge and style.

Above all, in examinations they try to show their brilliant performance. Thus they get opportunity to expand

their activity. School has definitely a healthy influence upon students. But some students indulge in bad

company and get away from the impact of their teachers. Those students miss the charm of their school life.

universities and national life

As a conference of mathematicians the chairman proposed the toast thus; "Here is to Mathematics and may it

never prove of any use to any one." This remark reveals the ancient attitude towards knowledge when centres

of learning and education were remote from life.

The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse of old knowledge, sometimes a

travesty of that knowledge. At a medieval gathering of scholars the subjects most often discussed were "How

many angels can sit on the point of a needle?" or "Have women a soul?"

Much water has flowed under the bridge since this attitude prevailed among scholars and in centres of

learning. The modern university looks forward and is a factory of new knowledge. More than that, there is

72

more and more involvement of the universities in the stream of national life. There is first of all the food

problem of the country. The Agricultural Universities are devising ways and means to increase food

production.

The quality of seeds is being improved. Instead of one crop of wheat two, even three crops are being produced,

"India which was deficit country in ne matter of food at the time the Partition took place is now a comfortably

surplus country. It has built up strong reserves and is even exporting food, particularly rice. All this has been

achieved by intensive cultivation, artificial fertilizers, rotation of crops and qualitative improvement of seeds.

The agricultural universities in the country have rendered a yeoman's service in this direction.

The universities are promoting research in various fields. In the field of physics, particularly atomic physics,

our researches can compare favourably with those of the universities of America and Europe. We are

members of the Nuclear club and have made rapid advances in space research and weather-research satellites.

The Saha Institute, the Raman institute, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research are supplementing the

work of the universities.In medical science, too, universities are forging ahead: New drugs cancer, malaria,

hypertension and other diseases have been discovered. Smallpox has been virtually eradicated. Universities

are thus acting as ends and helpers of the nation. But there is a greater duty which they have yet to perform.

They have to act as philosophers and guides of the don. They have contributed a lot towards feeding the body

but the soul remains starved.

There they have themselves a long way to go. It must be admitted on all hands that in the matter of discipline

the universities present a deplorable picture. The newspapers are full of reports about the troubles which brew

in all university campuses. Not scholars but unprincipled politicians rule the roast.Elections generate so much

und and fury that there is no knowing when the volcano will burst, en murders and kidnappings are resorted to.

Deans and Vice- Chancellors are gheraoed. Learning is at a discount. Universities which were supposed to be

the beacon lights for the nation have become the Plague-spots. The universities of Bihar and Gujarat raised the

banner of Total Revolution which ended up in chaos and disorder.

Universities should not behave either like ostriches, oblivious sand all around, as was the case with the

medieval universities or pigs wallowing in the mud as some' politics-dominated universities are doing these

days but like the proverbial swan swimming and in the separating milk from water. They should be centres of

learning radiating knowledge and guiding the nation. Only when they themselves models of excellence can

they act as guide, philosopher and friend nation.

Questions to Discuss:

1) Tell us about your school life.

2) How would you compare your school life in High School and now in University, or your work?

3) What are the things you would love to do or have done in your educational career?

4) If you could choose, how would you want university to be?

5) Do you think schooling is important?

Fast Cities

Facilitator: Delphine

For all the challenges cities facecongestion, crime, crumbling infrastructure, environmental

decay, plus occasional issues with basic civilitythey are still where jobs and youth gather ,where

energy, where talent masses and collides. Worldwide, the pace of urbanization is only accelerating.

This year, for the first time, more of the earths population will live in cities than in rural areas. In a

world where we can now work anywhere, were tending to concentrate in fewer and fewer places,

says Carol Collette, president of CEOs for Cities, an advocacy group. Smart people are choosing to

live near smart people.

Of course, not all cities are created equal. Rapid growth has a way of laying bare the gap between

cities that merely get bigger and those that actually flourish.

In other words, where are winners in this battle for the future? We call them Fast Cities.

What makes a Fast City?

It starts with opportunity. Not just bald economic capacity, but a culture that nurtures creative

action and game-changing enterprise. Fast Cities are places where entrepreneurs and employees

alike can maximize their potentialwhere the number of patents filed is high, for instance, or

where the high-tech sector expanding.

The second component: innovation. Fast Cities invest in physical, cultural, and intellectual

infrastructure that will sustain growth. The real forces for change in America and around the world

are the mayors and the local communities. says Richard Florida, a professor of public policy.

Finally, Fast Cities have energy, that ethereal thing that happens when creative people collect in

one place. The indicators can seem obscure: number of ethnic restaurants or the ratio of live-music

lovers to cable-TV subscribers. But they point to environments where fresh thinking stimulates

action and, by the way, attracts new talent in a virtuous cycle of creativity.

Creative-Class Meccas

Shanghai, China

China's historic center for innovation has emerged more recently as a magnet for Western-owned

corporate design centers and research labs. The clash of old and new gives rise to an exhilarating

sense of possibility.

New York, America

Love it or not, New York has among the highest proportions in the nation of college-educated

foreign residents, of ethnic restaurants, a reinvigorated stock market, and a plan from Mayor

Michael Bloomberg to make the city more eco-friendly.

Global Villages

Toronto, Canada

Toronto's embrace of diversity extends into every corner. There are 29 major film festivals this year,

covering nearly every micro-genre. The skyline boasts silhouettes from architects as varied as Frank

74

Gehry, I.M Pei, and Santiago Calatrava.

Johannesburg, South Africa

South Africa has long been the economic engine of sub-Saharan Africa. Now, Jo-burg is the political

and cultural nexus too, attracting business execs and tourists from across the continent. The

attractions: good infrastructure, the world's largest container terminal, and an airport with global

connections.

Berlin, Germany

Berlin is broke and unemployment is sky-high, but talent from all over the world, drawn by

reasonable rents, acres of studio space, and a rebellious, daring spirit, is fueling a red-hot design,

fashion, and architecture scene, while world-class research

Centers spin off technology startups.

Green Leaders

Stockholm, Sweden

Home to almost 2,500 green-sector companies, Stockholm's Hammarby Sjstad district is a living

eco-laboratory of 4,000 apartments with quadruple-glazed windows, ovens and cookers that run on

biogas form wastewater, and central heating wired to photovoltaic.

Vancouver, Canada

Vancouver is home to a booming electronic-gaming industry and a bustling portnot to mention

the 2010 Olympics. Its Eco Density initiative aims to focus that growth by developing more crowded

neighborhoods at the city center. The dual goal: to build sustainable neighborhoods with the scale

to make green energy technologies affordable and to preserve surrounding forest and mountain

ecosystem.

High-Tech Hot Spots

Chandigarh, India

Chandigarh is investing $865 million to build one of India's biggest IT parks. Attracted by solid

infrastructure, a cosmopolitan downtown, and a pool of young ,educated the nation's wealthiest

in the Himalayan foothills.

How to live a happy and satisfied Life

In each day that passes by, we stand by and witness how our lives are being lived

without the full happiness and satisfaction we crave and need. Most people spend

their time stressed out, worried and on a constant panic about what needs to be

done for their futures, raising their children, wired up over work, school, along with

everything else. Does this sound familiar? Well if it does, it is because so many

people live with this style and pattern. When you can start living that fully happy and

satisfied life?

The only way you can live a happy and satisfied life, is when you start doing things

that make you happy and satisfied. Sure, it sounds easy, and can be easy if you just

remember to make yourself one of your top priorities. Too many people neglect

themselves, feeling that it would be selfish if they took any time out to focus on their

own being. While it is good to take care of others and other important things going

on in your life, it is mandatory that you never forget about yourself. Discover who

you really are and what matters most to you. Living a great life does not just happen.

It requires, planning and following those plans to a life that reflects who you truly

are.

Most people avoid planning goals and dreams in their lives because they may

have a fear of committing to it or failing. They feel that by officially writing it down,

they would actually have to go through with pursuing it. This is where you need to

rate the importance of your life missions. What is most important to you? Is it losing

a certain amount of weight? Getting your degree? Spending more time with your

spouse or children? Whatever the reason or reasons may be, just write all of them

down. You may feel that making a mental note of your goals and dreams is enough,

but you could very well be setting yourself up for disappointment and failure. By

writing it down, you will become a visual witness of those goals. Try writing them in

an organizer, with a little reminder written in each day.

Setting deadlines for these goals would be a great way to assure they will be

accomplished. Avoid disappointment by setting realistic deadlines. For example, if

you wanted to lose 10 pounds, do not give yourself a week to do so. You will only

torture yourself and become depressed when the week is over and see that you did

not come even close to losing the 10 pounds. In fact, you may give up losing weight

altogether because of the failure you experienced, simply because your deadline

was unrealistic. Take some time every day to look over your goals and remind

yourself of how important they really are to you. Ask yourself why they are

important to you too. Knowing that something is important is not enough. You must

76

know the reasons behind the importance of the dreams and goals you have, so that

your mind can see it more clearly and understand exactly why it is so necessary to go

through with your missions.

1. The following elements: love, work (tutor and so on), school work, family. Which is the most

important for you? Make the order of them.
