Beyond ourselves!

The children in the campus are getting ready to begin school on Monday.

During a chat with a few of them, I was keen to know what they were expecting from a new term at school!

On of them mentioned about learning new subjects and topics; another mentioned about the preparation for the school annual day; a third boy mentioned about the  long summer holidays after this term during which the family is planning a holiday at a beach resort. A girl mentioned that she was looking forward to meet her friends who had planned to help one of their friends with her studies who could not come to school due to prolonged hospitalisation following a fracture. 

All of them had something to look forward to. Each of their reasons was most commendable. However it was the last person who had thought beyond herself and included her friend in her plans.

It is a question that we too as adults need to consider. How much others get included in our thoughts and plans!
