Since the beginning of this universe, the time has a nature to pass. Time never stay for anyone. Time always flows leaving its strong impressions behind in lives. If you are living a good time, you cannot freeze it to stay always. If you are living a bad time, you cannot get rid of it before its limitation ends.
The year 2020 is a game-changer. What you learn from 2020 is up to you. But I deemed this year leave its impact on every person. Few days are left for 2020 to be turned into 2021. The calendar will change soon but keeping the prints of 2020.
I know this year shaped you as it shaped me. To which extent transformation takes place in you and me, may differ but certainly, it takes place. It takes place somewhere inside your mind, heart, and soul.
2020 made me believe that things will happen and we have to accept them no matter how severe they are. The good things will happen and go away no matter how strongly we wish them to hold.
Life can be changed at any point as it is not a smooth journey.
Every person who came on the planet and surviving has to go through thin and thick of the world. Most often, things don’t happen in your ways and sometimes they happen nicely beyond your expectations. The change is the root of life, time, and existence.
If your life becomes still, surely you’re dead. Because every alive thing is deemed to be changed.
Let’s have a look year back. Who knows about what 2020 has in its pouch for you? Who knows that 2020 will be a pandemic year? Who knows that 2020 will bound you at home? Who knows that 2020 will pandemic for the entire world? Those who died due to Covid-19 will never think that it’s the end of their journey. Many people buried their loved ones with heavy heart and grief.
New people come into your life while many leave you halfway through the journey. You become successful, you may fail too.
You laugh…. You cry….
If you’re happy… very next moment you may sad.
Everything can leave you. your happiness, your sadness, your success your failure….will not be always the same.
2020 is a game-changer. Where it has a lot of bad things in it. at the same time, it brings many positive and good things to endure. It makes me think more wisely and critically. Quarantine gives me time to spend with myself. It gives me a break from the hustle and bustle of life. It gives me a chance to listen to my inner voice. It makes me able to find out the light of my soul. it makes me thought that people will leave no matter how tight we hold them. And people will stay no matter how loose things are.
And it realizes me if someone can be purely happy from your success, it’s only YOU.
if somebody is saddened due to your failure it’s again only YOU.
Only you will stay with you through the up and down of your journey. Only you can understand yourself best. People can only assume about you. Hence, you have put attention towards YOU. This year made me believe that your self is the only savior
And that if you didn’t save yourself.
No one else will.
5 Ways You Can Be A Game Changer For Learning
“This world requires a new paradigm for growing up and therefore also for education,” Bill Drayton wrote last year in Stanford Social Innovation Review. “Just as 50 to 100 years ago society took the radical step of saying that every person must master written language, now we must insist that every person have the social skills necessary to be an effective, confident changemaker before age 21.”
If the question is how, there’s a growing body of research and evidence that suggests that playful learning -- not rigid structure -- is the answer.
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way in which children learn the necessary skills for the future,” argues Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Playing involves a constant process of ‘trying, failing and trying again’ that helps us develop our creative, communicative and critical thinking skills.”
This shared understanding is why earlier this year the LEGO Foundation and Ashoka joined forces in an effort to make play (“one of the highest achievements of the human species”) a priority in schools and their neighboring communities. Together, they launched the “Re-imagine Learning Challenge,” which will award 10 innovators in education with more than $200,000 in cash prizes, as well as technical assistance and in-kind support.
That’s just the beginning. The joint initiative will also identify and elect 30 Ashoka Fellows, each leading systems-changing initiatives in the learning space, and also facilitate a “Re-Imagine Learning Globalizer” to scale-up solutions already driving impact at local and regional levels.
While this year’s challenge is closed for entries, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
WATCH, LEARN AND GET UP TO SPEED
Couldn’t make it to the 2014 IDEA Conference in Billund, Denmark, the birthplace of LEGO, where innovators and educators from around the world gathered to celebrate a belief in the importance of learning through play? No problem.
You can still read interviews with leaders in education like Boston College’s Peter Gray, or head to the Knowledge Hub to hear from people like Harvard’s Dr. Tony Wagner.
And in this short video (produced by the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education), the LEGO Foundation makes a case for why it’s not what children learn, but how they learn -- especially in the critical years of early childhood.
