We are delighted to share the summary of the event Dream Focus Believe Achieve, organized by the Stella Joyce Memorial Trust. This event served as a platform to connect higher secondary students with other schools’ students from OFT Higher Secondary School, Government Special Higher Secondary School Mathur, Sacred Heart School, Pudukottai, and SAS Vidyalaya Trichy. The motivational program started with Tamil Thai Vazthu. Our honorable Principal of M.I.E.T Engineering college Dr. A. Naveen Sait, graced his presence as the chief guest. The motivational speech occurred in three sessions handled by Mrs. Rajalakshmi, Psychotherapist and Counsellor, followed by Mr.Arunkumar, Founder, Sri Academy, and finally by Dr. Ramyadevi Durai, Scientist and Senior Assistant Professor, Sastra University.
The welcome address and chief guest introduction by Mr.Wilson ignited the program. The Chief Guest, Dr. A. Naveen Sait gave a motivational speech insisting on how the students must prepare themselves by avoiding diversions from social media, being true to themselves in setting and working towards their dream, and finally taking inspiration from achievers like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to work hard despite their struggles to achieve their dream. His speech set a benchmark and ignited the thoughts of readiness and confidence in the minds of the young students.
The chief speaker, Mrs.Rajalakshmi started with the vision that our ex president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam had, which set the stage for our topic dream. She gave a definition for dreams which includes images, ideas, emotions, and sensations. It followed with a topic about Lucid dream of creating a mental image of our own future. The session continued on focusing on our dream and having a belief in ourselves in achieving that dream. It insisted on dreaming big, creating a routine, and being accountable. A very interactive gaming session brought out various dreams of the students, such as UX Designer, AI Technology Developer, Anchor, Chartered Accountant, Serial Actress, IAS Officer, Police, Airhostess, Lawyer, Doctor, Pilot, and many more.
It was followed by Dr.Ramya speech on Health for happiness, physical happiness, social happiness, financial happiness, environmental happiness, intellectual happiness, physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing. The technique to remove negativity to achieve divinity was clearly explained by connecting medicine and yoga. Finally it was concluded with Mr.Arunkumar’s gaming lesson which explains how to set one's goal based on his previous achievements. The meeting concluded with positive feedback from the students.
