shadamarshana While the instances you have mentioned reek of abusive anger, one thing should be remembered....the relationship between a teacher and a student is very dynamic and the dynamics of that relationship cannot be appreciated really well by anybody else. Brutal...

shadamarshana No computers can never actually replace teachers qualitatively. Education is not mere acquisition of knowledge; the application of the knowledge can be at least hinted at only by a human being. Moreover, though computers may act as good "enlighteners" for the...

difference between a mentor and a teacher

shadamarshana @shadamarshana (19) • India 7 Mar 07

What is the difference between a mentor and a teacher? This is just to stimulate the grey cells so that some awareness is spread regarding the subtle difference between these two roles.

Role model

Would you consider yourself a roel model?

4 responses

shadamarshana Yes, I do consider myself to be a role model for the following reasons: 1) I have the courage to follow my own path avoiding the beaten path. I live an orthodox life-style following dharma shastra yet at the same time keeping an open mind towards modernity....

respect to mentors

shadamarshana @shadamarshana (19) • India 7 Mar 07

Now-a-days a "pally" attitude and informal interaction pattern seems to have become the norm in most training situations. What do you think is best for a training environment - a dignified yet relaxed atmosphere in training or the...

How do you explain Death to a 6 year old? My son lost a Classmate yesterday.

gypsylady28 @gypsylady28 (945) • United States 7 Mar 07

When I picked up my son from school yesterday, he told me a classmate had passed away. When I opened his backpack, there was a note from the teacher explaining that the details were sketchy but one of the girls had died from...

shadamarshana Though this is a tricky situation, take heart.....children who are forced to come to terms with bereavement early in their lives tend to be better adjusted with that eventuality gradually rather than persons who are first exposed to death well into their...

Who Has The Right To Decide How Many Children You Should Have

browneyedgirl @browneyedgirl (1264) • United States 6 Mar 07

You're married and already have one child. You want a second child. Your husband doesn't. Who has the right to decide whether or not you have the second child? You or your husband? Would you get pregnant anyway? What would you do...

shadamarshana Ideally, this should not be question of "individual rights" but a matter of "collective decision". Both the husband and wife should sit and talk it out. If the wife does not want a kid, why she does not want? If the husband wants a kid, why does he want it? If...

My brother was divorced last year after being separated for a year. He got physical custody of his 2 girls, ages 3 and 6. He joined an online dating site, and has had many match ups. Sadly most end before the ever begin, most...

shadamarshana Quite true....a man who is sensitive enough to nurture his children from earlier marriage will be an excellent human being and likely to be more empathetic and understanding. As you rightly said, most women seem to continue living with aggressive "cave man"...

what do u prefer - see a movie or play video game

sandeep_2991984 @sandeep_2991984 (675) • India 7 Mar 07

i would love to play video game on pc and the game should be grand theft auto

movie

video game

shadamarshana I would rather see a classical movie and forget myself in that fantasy world of warriors/ heroes rather than play some animated game. Movies -when they are well-made appeal to wider aspects of your emotional persona than a computer/ video game. The variety of...

Did you have a special teacher during your school years?

ironstruck @ironstruck (2298) • Canada 7 Mar 07

We all seem to have that one teacher who really made our day. No matter how boring or difficult the school years were at times, we looked forward to this one class. The teacher had a way of teaching that inspired you to...

shadamarshana Family support means a lot to any individual. The support extended by a loving family (not necessarily material) is hard to evaluate correctly. We take too many good turns for granted when we live with our families and the real value of those will be felt only...

Do You Like To Be Around Someone Who Gossips?

villageanne @villageanne (8553) • United States 5 Mar 07

shadamarshana Gossip mongers are really terrible. They are committing a double-sin; one of damaging the concerned person's reputation and peace of mind; the other one of damaging themselves. We become what we focus too much on. If a person often focusses only on the...

Is Entrepreneurship in Your DNA?

Neo_Knights @Neo_Knights (1882) • Indonesia 6 Mar 07

Which one do you choose, to be an employer or an employee? Do you prefer having your own business with its risk or being safe as a worker? And what situation do you have now? Share with me will you?

employee

shadamarshana I would prefer to be on my own and I AM on my own. Persons with immense talent in any performing arts, counselling/therapy professions, and other consultancy expertises sooner or later will definitely try to be on their own. Though being on own has its own...

greengal @greengal (4286) • United States 6 Mar 07
