Sydney Gilbert’s Post

So, Finally my first year of college came to an end! I had countless ups and downs with new learnings and experiences. I got to know how TIME plays such an important role. It’s difficult to always keep a track of time, weeks and weeks can pass by with little or no outcome. I realized how I have wasted so much time on building connections, that didn’t last. College drama never ends, something or the other keeps on coming. It's better to stay out of it as much as possible. Due to the 9-5 schedule (+2 hours of travel) , it's easy to feel that I have done enough for the day but then nothing more can be expected out of the day, I have to stay motivated to do more and keep a track on the skills , as college doesn’t help with that. There were more Physics, Chemistry and Mechanical related stuff in the first year that will never come into use. Learnings: - Track your progress each day - Stay away from useless connections and remember your real goal. - During classes, instead of criticizing, focus on the lecture and complete your notes because we still have to get a decent GPA, the pressure during exams is no joke. - Weekends go by in the blink of an eye, so there's no help in leaving things till the weekend. - Do not forget to enjoy and stay happy during the process, some off days are well deserved. - Say NO to things that aren’t valuable; priorities do matter. After my first year, I can definitely say that I’m a more confident person now, and I will carry these learnings forward. Grateful and excited for what's coming up next, Devanshi Arora

The first education book I read was Harry Wong's The First Days of School. 24 years later and still in education, I practice and share many skills and suggestions from his book. RIP, Mr. Wong. #teacherlife #teacher #teachersoflinkedin

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do at SEEAT.

Sixty-nine THANK YOUs, one for each of the years i've been around on this planet. Little did i realize the extent of goodwill that would be showered on my birthday (30th July 1955) from so many 'contacts' in LinkedIn, many of whom i know and have interacted with directly earlier, and many whom i wish to interact with and know. As i embark on the 70th year of my life, i should share some of my observations, experiences, and knowledge (ideally SILENCE, which marks the supreme stage of learning and knowledge) in the true spirit of an active teacher. OK, here's my stuff (rant?  Maybe, but please spare a few minutes of your precious time). I’ll share the whole content in instalments to ease the time. 1.    For any human creature, there are only, and only, four contexts of existence in this world. They are, ‘Me Alone’, ‘Me at Home’, ‘Me at Work’, and ‘Me in public’. 2.    The greatest collective human challenge is “how can less perfect humans work with themselves and with each other to create a more perfect world in the four contexts of life?” 3.    The greatest individual human challenge is answering the question “Am I struggling to make efforts to fulfil my ‘Dharma’ (chosen duties and responsibilities) independent of the outcomes, which are NOT in my hands?” with flawless and fullest integrity. A few more thoughts will follow.

This post is about a bond where two people started as classmates, then became college mates, attended the same university, and ultimately worked in the same department at the same company. It's not just about the end goal; it's about the individuals who inspire you to become a better version of yourself. During times of hardship, they are there to support and uplift you. Syed Asfand Shah thankyou for being a support system!

In Episode 6 of Where Passion Meets Education (WPME), Sandeep Dutt engages in a heartfelt conversation with Amit Sachdeva. Together, they delve into the profound significance of service in education and the enduring wisdom of Gandhi's teachings. Their discussion revolves around the vital task of integrating these principles into the schooling fabric. Often hailed as the CSR Man Of India, Amit fervently advocates for businesses to embody empathy and actively contribute to the welfare of society. The timeless message of Mahatma Gandhi's 18 teachings and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a guiding light, inspiring us to foster a more compassionate and sustainable world. Key Takeaways Service is the essence of schooling, emphasising giving, sharing, and community-building. Schooling should prioritise holistic development over academic focus, incorporating 17 SDGs and 18 Gandhian principles. Passion-driven education leads to better human development and societal contribution. Schools must actively involve students in service activities and address biases to create a more inclusive learning environment.

Thank you for your interest in Rehan School. My name is Rehan Allahwala, and I have been an entrepreneur for most of my life. I have undertaken over 150 businesses in more than seven countries, and I have failed in most of them. Thus, I claim to have a Ph.D. in failure. What I have learned is to keep trying and not be afraid of failure. Today, humanity knows how to create doctors, engineers, swimmers, and cricketers, but we do not know how to create world-class leaders who bring change like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Edison, and Obama. The most important work in the world is left to chance, and we do not have a process to create the next Steve Jobs. We do not give a car to someone without training and a license, and we train people for years to become accountants, lawyers, and doctors. Yet, for world leaders, we leave it to chance. This should no longer be the case. I believe there must be a way to make this happen, and we should not leave it to chance or accident. I have set out to find, create, and implement a process that can help us produce the next Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. This is what Rehan School is made for. It is an experimental school that will continuously try to find ways to create future leaders who can fix the things that are broken around us. The world has amazing tools today like the Internet, AI, computers, VR, and mobiles, yet the education system is slow to adopt these changes. At Rehan School, we aim to use all these tools, apply the first principles method, and re-engineer the education system. I aim to educate and create 1,000 future leaders under my direct supervision, so that these students can go out into the world and make it a better place for everyone. I aim to create Nobel laureates, Guinness World Record holders, and multi-millionaires, who will be trained to achieve these goals. If you want your child to become a future leader in business and address global issues, impacting over 10 million people positively, this is the school for you. However, if you want a regular student with good grades, this is not the school for your child. Thank you for visiting us and allowing me to share my vision of how we can finally address the leadership gap in our countries and the world. Rehan Allahwala Founder, Rehan School

One thing I love about NIL is how it has open up myriad of channels for college students to learn about and understand their brand and business opportunities. At Pepperdine, I have led both brand building and entrepreneurial development classes for our college athletes. As a mid-major school, the name of the NIL game here isn't collective money, but rather, having students recognize the power inherent to each of their stories, talents and interests. It is for this reason that I loved speaking with Emily Belz at Christianity Today on how Christian universities are addressing NIL on campus.
