Category: 7 Habits Class

Life class has given me the strength to slowly overcome the challenges I had in life being an over emotional person. I feel this platform has given me the 1st step to come across people having various challenges and problems in life and how they have overcome it. The best day was the physical class where we met with the group members and worked together. That experience was the best throughout the life class. Where we formed groups for our final group presentation. And then we came to know more about our group when we started working together. Finally we ended with our presentation and it went well presenting our learning. So for this I want to summarize using a Quote ” Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Finally this class is a 1st step to life changing process. All thanks to our facilitators @priti.pimpalkhare & @vandana.sharma for making this class so interesting and interactive which will be a memorable lifetime experience.

I have learned about lots of things along with all the seven habits during the life class. I also made friends and shared good bonding with all of the team mates and facilitators as well. The key learning I believe that I have is, how to become a good listener, because I believe that the willingness of listing or an appropriate/active listening can solve most of the problems in our life. Now talking about THE AAHHAAAA…. MOMENT, well…usually ahhaa moments lasts for few seconds or may be for few minutes but in my case regarding the life classes it was lasted for a day so instead of having AAHHAA…moment I have had an AAHAAA…DAY and that was the day on which we have attended the life class physically.
So this was the small tell from my side. Thank you………

My journey to the life class was a roller coaster with an amazing emotional ride. I have become open-minded to different things in life. life class helps us to share our experiences and learn from them. This class & discussion helps us to share our weaknesses & work upon them, with the death activity I was able to improve on my mental stability to handle any situations and started think for the long term. I started investing more in my closes once and started withdrawing from the one who was just for their means in my life.

We have a healthy discussion in the group which helps us to understand the different perspectives towards life. My behavior towards other people has changed a lot as compare to behavior before life class. I become being proactive in my work and also started managing my tasks by putting first things first.

The facilitators always make sure that everyone is comfortable & participative in class. Thank you for keeping us inspired!

मुझे इस तरह की क्लास – 7 हैबिट्स का हिस्सा बनकर बहुत खुशी हो रही है, जिसमें मुझे कई नई चीजें सीखने के साथ-साथ हर किसी को अपने जीवन में आने वाली साझा करने, विचारों, चुनौतियों का अनुभव करने के लिए मिला है। इस फलदायी सत्र के बाद मुझे अब किसी भी चुनौती का सामना करने या ऊपर और नीचे गिरने का विश्वास है अगर यह मेरे जीवन में आता है, तो मैं दृढ़ता से खड़ा रहूंगा और इसे पार करूंगा। इसने मुझे उन प्रतिमानों के बारे में समझा, जिन्हें हम जीवन भर अपने साथ लेकर चलते हैं और इसका असर हमारे जीवन पर पड़ता है और कई अन्य पाठ, जैसे कि दूसरों के दृष्टिकोणों को समझना और उनका सम्मान करना, प्रिय के साथ समय साझा करना, जिम्मेदारियों को जानना और उन्हें प्राथमिकता देना, उनकी स्थिति, जीत-हार, हार-जीत, भावनात्मक बैंक खाते में जोड़ना और इसी तरह।

मैं अपने साथियों को धन्यवाद देना चाहता हूं, वे पूरे सत्र के दौरान श्रोता रहे हैं। वे मुझे एक परिवार की तरह महसूस कराते हैं। धन्यवाद, और मुझे खुशी है कि फाउंटेनहेड स्कूल अपने कर्मचारियों को बेहतर गुणवत्ता के लिए अपने जीवन को बढ़ाने और चैनलाइज करने के लिए ऐसे सत्र आयोजित कर रहा है।

मैं अर्शी मैम और मंजीतकौर मैम दोनों के लिए बहुत आभारी हूं कि उन्होंने हमें प्रेरित किया, हमें इन आदतों को लागू करने के लिए एक विकल्प बनाने के लिए हमारे दिन-प्रतिदिन के जीवन में लागू करने के लिए।

Dear Life,

It’s not like I don’t know about you but I have also taken you for granted umpteen times. If I carefully think about you and recall about how I treated you, I would curse myself a lot. Though there have been times I’ve been gentle with you and tried to understand you, I’ve also been eluded by you or eluded myself voluntarily to not care for you.

I don’t know if you can be taught in classes but the last few months have made me more human in terms of revisiting the nooks and corners that I missed on owing to my own indifference. I am still learning how to be a better learner but reflecting on our strengths and weaknesses, probing into our paradigms, investing in and withdrawing from our EBAs , prioritising what should come first, consciously thinking about the 7 habits and putting things together bit by bit was possible because of the life classes we had.

I hope that I would be able to do more justice to you my dear friend. In case I falter, please bear with me.

2020 has been a weird year for me. On one hand, the world was going through a ridiculous time, suffering through a pandemic, with people losing jobs, and lives, and not knowing what to do. On the other hand, I got my first job, in such a well-reputed school like Fountainhead, even before I completed my Bachelors. And the online format was just as new to me as the offline format would’ve been, and I was adapting to everything new with great excitement and enthusiasm. Life Class was something I was very excited about, and I hoped it would help me improve my life in some aspects.

And it did not disappoint. Now, the things we learned in Life Classes weren’t something extremely profound or secrets that give magical powers, but they were deeply insightful and important for daily routine, if applied. These occasional classes served as constant reminders for us to keep seeking improvement in our daily lives. It was a good mix of theory and practicals. We got many perspectives and the facilitators did an excellent job of keeping us all engaged, despite the DL format. I don’t think I got any direct results from life class learnings, but I do believe that I picked parts of it subconsciously and was able to apply them somewhat. Earlier I was very inconsistent in reading books, for example, but towards the end of the Life class journey, I see that I’ve become a regular reader.

Another major takeaway from the life classes was getting to know the FS people outside our teams. As all my interactions in FS had been online, I knew very few people outside of my Maths team, but Life Classes with all its interactive activities helped in breaking that wall for me and getting to know more people from various parts of FS.

It has been a really good journey, and I’m hoping that next year we can have Life Classes offline, which could be even better!

Irrefutably, year 2020 has been a year of precariousness and obscured challenges.

The sessions on the habits using a virtual platform – performing activities online like movie watching, case study discussions, expressing/understanding emotions, sharing ideas, and in between great energizers, were conducted exquisitely well. In order to be triumphant and happy, Life Class, suggests everyone implement the habits in day-to-day life which were very well implemented by the facilitators and made sure that each and everyone come up with their amazing insights during the session.

Being an introvert, I saw myself being interacting with different team members, working on the same communication goal. “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.”I was very well aware of the 7 habits but these sessions gave me a different lens to picturise and helped me to implement this in my daily life. I would like to appreciate FS and the facilitators for all the efforts they made to take up these astounding sessions…I will be always looking forward to attend these classes, thanks to Manjeet ma’am and Arshi ma’am.

Thank you!!

I have joint FS in the year 2020 which has been a year of uncertainties and unexpected challenges. Everything changed and the lives of almost every individual also changed with the Pandemic. But there is no stoppage in life so we have to find a way to manage ourselves with “New Normal”.

This new normal brought new challenges, especially with online teaching. Life class helps us to manage all this efficiently.  Life classes help us to build values and helping live life to contentment. Life classes help us share our experiences and learn from them. This is the platform where we can share our weakness and work upon it. I have become an expert listener now. I enjoyed the journey of LC. Everyone sharing their personal life problem, others giving solutions to them, make an invisible bond among us. I have met many brave ones, many suffering in their life but yet working well. games and movies were like the cherry on the cake! We had healthy discussions in the group which helps us understand the different perspectives towards life. The best part was The facilitators ensured that everyone is comfortable, involved, and participative in the class. I heartily thank FS for conducting such classes that act as a guide, not only in professional development but also in personal growth.
