In addition, also a career which gives you happiness, and the career which itself becomes your kind of hobby.

Children learn well and reflect through the stories delivered to them:

 - Story telling is not only a curriculum taught at school academic, people have been using the story telling techniques to safeguard and transfer the history of the culture of their own tribes and the successes of their fore fathers. Our grandmothers have been telling the stories to us traditionally, for which children have seen to have good engagement with it and our mothers have been using the storytelling as before going to bed activity. Our grandmothers are best story tellers.  The storytelling is a technique which catches the concentration, focus and curiosity of the listeners. It is very important for teachers and parents to understand and learn the storytelling techniques so that children learn well and reflect through the stories delivered to them. Children instinctively love books and stories as they are introduced to wonderful ideas, concepts, places, and creatures which they have not encountered or come across before. Instead of reading the stories to them and telling them

Education transformation and change initiatives going around:

- Any transformation is complex until and unless we understand the root causes, envision what’s possible, and develop a strategy to achieve it. Education transformation can be understood as, providing the strategy and tools needed to enhance teaching and learning, and support students to achieve the intended learning outcome.
