Thought of the Day
“Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, and knowledge makes you great.” (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam)
Meaning: Dr. Kalam reminds us that learning is the first step towards greatness. When we study with interest, our minds become creative and begin to think in new ways, and this thinking turns into real knowledge. Students who make learning a daily habit slowly build the wisdom and character that make them truly great.
Reading the news every morning does far more than keep us informed. It helps students connect what they learn in classrooms with what is happening in the world, sharpens their thinking, and encourages them to ask questions. Young people who follow current affairs grow into curious, aware and responsible citizens who can contribute thoughtfully to their communities and the nation.
