I am thankful to the Life Classes for introduce me to the 7 Habits, It was amazing experience. I have learned lot of new thing in this life classes like how to be proactive , time management for personal life as well as professional life,working on personal/professional growth.Also I learn the importance of family and spending time with them.
life is like a mathematical sum. the action we take in every different situation in every movement is the values of that sum and our future is our answer. when we change our values( action ) the answer( future ) will change itself. when I again did the 7 habits I feel it definitely affect my action the way I take.
in the end
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

It is rightly said that, “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” Rewinding my memories back to the first session of my life class, I was wondering that what is so different about Stephen Covey’s book which was never told or said in other self-help books and why is it important to learn things out of it in the very first year before Love and Integrity class but as the journey unfolded I realised before learning anything else it is very important to unlearn all the unnecessary paradigms and observe and re-frame them perhaps to lead a better and successful life.
The paramount of understanding occurred when the sharing amongst the peers happened. I had never savoured an opportunity before in my life wherein at the same time I was able to understand the concepts through uncountable perspectives. Application of the habits is not easy though but was equally fundamental to transform, hence, a decision to try was utmost important then.
Finally, yet importantly, I would like to thank all the people in the school (leaders, facilitators, staff, peers) who have played a crucial role in my learning and/or organising this life class for me. It has definitely deepened my knowledge and the way now I look at things now!
Attending life classes was very much worthy, I greatly appreciate Fountainhead for providing me this opportunity. I feel it was very important to have a good insight on all the seven habits. This has broadened my understanding on the values for life to a greater extent. Applying these habits will help me become more successful in various aspects of life. It will also help me develop my personal as well as professional life.
The sessions were beautifully designed with a blend of discussion and activities were well organised and enhanced the understanding of the habits well. The real beauty of the seven Habits is that improvement in one habit compliments the others equably. It basically goes hand in hand.

“Life class”… The most righteous name given to a class that changes your stance towards life. We all know how precious the life is but we often do not realize it till we are made to realize… Most of us merely survive and not live. Life classes helped me in living my life as it came and not just surviving it. By the end of just 8 enlightening days, it changed the way I see life now. I always loved this quote by Helen Keller — ‘I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet’ but never could feel the profound meaning it carried. When at life classes my colleagues opened their life’s books for us all to glance, I was suddenly hit by a reality check that yes I have enough things to be thankful about.
Life classes also helped me to set my priorities and helped me organize my already settled life (at least I thought it was ;P until this happened). Reading would have helped but experiencing the lessons in real life by sharing with others made a difference. I would like to take opportunity to show my gratitude to FS for conducting something so fruitful and to Ravi Sir and Shraddha Ma’am for their consistent guidance and nurturing (read:facilitating) our life classes with their sincere efforts. To conclude, it helped me to endear my dear zindagi!
Best wishes,

I am really thankful to Fountainhead school for conducting such type of classes. I learned a lot and shifted my paradigm for certain things.ya somewhere I felt difficult to bare some topics but however, it is a really nice experience. it teaches me that how to react and express my self effectively. it was one of the good experiment of my life as Ralph Waldo Emerson says “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better” and also I have learned to except others perspectives and behaviour which make me more flexible and happy person as Joseph Campbell says “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us”
Thank you
When I was signed up for the 7 Habits’ Life Class, I had no clue as to what was in store for me; all I remember is the exhilaration resembling that of a child’s, on his first day to school!
Saying that this class introduced me to ‘new’ habits to befriend wouldn’t be the best way to put it, as we have all directly or indirectly been acquainted with most of these in some or the other form (or the lack of these!) experientially. So I’d rather say that this allowed me to reflect on my own choices in life, by giving me space and time to introspect the difference between knowing and doing, for the challenge lies not merely in being aware, but in taking action (although that’s still a long way down the road!).
I wouldn’t deny the fact that this state of awareness allowed me to dig deeper into my own self, and crack my shell open just a tad bit, to sharpen my saw. In order to satiate the procrastinator in me, I had found a lot of important things piled up on my backseat. However, they’re slowly starting to take over, and for good (yay!). I wasn’t surprised to realise that being proactive would be the most difficult habit for me to adopt, considering how I am the most extreme case of procrastinator I could possibly imagine. Hence, I’m yet to find the motivation to kick myself out of bed and work on my physical well-being!
Needless to say, the experience wouldn’t have been the same without the support and guidance of our facilitators, Mitali ma’am and Tasnim ma’am who role-modeled the same at all times; after all, at FS we lead by example! We’re indebted to you for it all! 🙂
I am thankful to the Life Classes for introduce me to the 7 Habits. It has helped to manage the critical professional-personal life balance. We are so busy with our daily tasks that we never take a minute to think about what we are doing is worth the energies we are putting in it or not.
Learning the 7 Habits and also discussing about it in groups gives us the opportunity to share our ideas and learn better. The most important learning for me is “Seek first to understand and then be understood”. I found it always difficult to understand some people. But now I have realised that others can have different feelings, which I might not understand by I need to accept it first to come to a conclusion. I am now waiting for the next life classes to introduce me to new things in future.
What matters in life is to create yourself and upgrade to the best of what you want to be. Life Classes surprisingly acts as a triggering point for both.
For me, the journey of life class is not something that can be completely expressed in words. It is a journey that changed me as a person. It helped me look at life in a new light altogether. It helped me introspect on my life and look at how I perceive things. Through this journey, I realised that I need to change the way I perceive things and react to them. It helped me broaden my horizon and look at things that needs improvement to better mt professional and personal life. It helped me realise that I need to change in order to see the change in my life.
I am truly grateful for getting the opportunity to learn and I will cherish this experience all my life.
It was an amazing journey of LIFE CLASS. I am very thankful to my facilitators – Ms. Suruchi ma’am and Ms. Ritu ma’am. Life classes have changed my perspective towards the people I meet. It helped me to understand what is more important in our life and where to focus. The paradigm shifts guided me to see the things in a positive way. Not just sharing the problems but also understanding them and getting ways to solve them was possible because of Life Class. I have discovered a new person in me that has helped me grow personally and professionally.
The actual meaning of all the habits and how to implement the same in our life was only possible because of these sessions. Only learning is not important but to implement the same to get a change makes a meaning . Life is an amazing journey so use every moment wisely .
I am very grateful to FS for conducting such sessions where we get opportunity to learn from our as well as others experiences. Looking forward for other such amazing sessions which will help me to discover myself and to see the world through different lens.
