“Getting things done is not the same as making things happen.
You can…
…reply to email.
…pay the bills.
…cross off to-do’s.
…fulfil your obligation.
…repeat what you heard.
…go with the flow.
…anticipate roadblocks.
…aim for “good enough.â€
Or you can…
…organise a community.
…take a risk.
…set ambitious goals.
…give more than you take.
…change perceptions.
…forge a new path.
…create possibility.
…demand excellence.
Don’t worry too much about getting things done.
Make things happen.”
~ Gina Trapani (Lifehacker)

Thank you so much Mrs. Beena. It is I who has been fortunate that I have had teachers like yourself. By the way Mrs. Beena, we have started a school! Right here in Bangalore :-) It’s called ILM Montessori. Here is our website: http://www.ilm-foundation.com
Inshallah more details on that in an upcoming blog post.
warm regards,
