The New School

“Then I also promise. Mummy and I will teach him
English while you are gone. Once you have learnt it very
well in your new school, you can take over. Is that okay?”
he asked.

“Yes Papa! I’ll learn it so well, I’ll beat you and Mummy at
it. Then I can teach Jeevan, isn’t it?”

Harini’s father hugged her. His brother pulled at Jeevan’s
sleeve, asking him to get down from the car.

“Come back soon, Harini didi,” Jeevan said, after hearing
them speak. He quickly got down to follow the two year
old, who was already running full speed across the garden
towards the jasmine tree. The flowers were in full bloom,
and they were going to shake the bark of the tree till the
flowers fell on them. It was spring time again.

Remember: Investing in yourself is the best and
foremost thing you must do. It simply means
continuously spending time to improve your skills and
abilities, and being open to learning from your own and
others’ mistakes. Maybe learn a new language, or a new
music instrument, or how to write and speak well. When
you become a lifelong learner, your life will be happier
and wealthier, perhaps in more ways than one.
