The hopes of our dream, Even at the time of crisis. Wondering will it be a triumph, Or just a dark defeat!

We still have a joy over our hard work, Hard work done, day and night. We have more time to achieve it But a wise one shall use it.

Hope is that all needed, Thinking of it can make us fall. Still can we stand up strong? A strong one can only achieve the dreams!

Still strong and steady. One such can make it,

To change his dream to reality. Only with his hope and hard work towards his dreams.

An altruistic step, the one that leads To a classroom full of chirpy little students Ah! The perfect carmine coloured tick mark Right across the English answer sheets, Only when those sleepless nights, Light up my face with benevolent smiles, Oh! When shall this lethal pandemic end? For, I long to superintend, A bunch of children who have avid interest In the bewitching language of English To conquer the words obscurest To spread the love for the language, To spread the love of teaching And to learn and to love it, as much as I do!!!

In pursuit of excellence, we tend to go many ways Whether it is good or whether it is wrong People resort to being immoral, yet some have integrity We all know that cheating doesn’t do any good to us It is better to be a hero rather than zero and don’t live up to others’ expectations Live up to yourself and be yourself. Pursuing excellence is something hard and we must never give up Push through the hard times and believe in yourself There are ups and downs, people may pull you into resorting to something wrong But never! Never give up, believe in yourself, and dream big are the keys to peruse excellence.

When excellence is the attraction Hard work comes into action Losing is not an option it’s a learning A feeling later you will never regret. Like weather, experiences are cool and hot Hard work is perpetual luck is not .

Time comes and goes But there’s never been a time when it froze. Value hard work and time If you don’t, you’ve committed the biggest crime.

Chase your dreams Which is your life’s beam There will be your day When the ray of hope would shine on the right way.

I study all terms hard, the end report did not show it all. My eyes turned red with tears, raising doubts and fears. My parents elicit hard work. True to their words I always work. battles are won or lost, confident I am the war will be won. Excellence is never about giving up, Excellence is all about perspiring, And never giving up.

Excellence is a word which shimmers a person, A word which brightens the aura. But, the word is not enough, It varies to the personality and work, In which a person doesn’t try to lurk.

The one achieving excellence, Comprehends all its priorities, And not let anyone turn it into disabilities. A person with a perspective to pursuit excellence, Tries to excel in all its failures.

Remembering one thing, Excellence is not a goal, It is to pull off all our goals into reality, With no informality in our hearts.

Take Small steps to achieve a bigger goal, Small steps make a big impact. Small steps for a long journey of excellence, Small steps for a big difference, Small steps for greater life. As small as they are , Together the changes make a difference. You need not take big steps for excellence, Small ones will do. All you need is the courage to take the first step.

The best revenge is success. Life hasn’t been fair to me, But I stood strong.

Though it was hard, Though there were times I couldn’t take it anymore, I made it this far. I’d rather go all the way.

Finally, I had it all, The keys to excellence.

Alarm’s ringing and we are already ready Too excited for the first day of school The first step to start chasing my dream A bag full of books and pencils set out To the huge buildings lined up together With several floors waiting to be welcomed by us I stood there in awestruck until a knock on my shoulder I rushed to my class, studied and continued every upcoming day therefore. Standing here, just one step away from reaching my dream Came back all those memories, starting from the first day of school To the graduating day till here. Now I am just a step way So far, I have followed pursuit of excellence.

Lot of expectations that I couldn’t reach, Honesty and hard work I were to pursue, Was what he would always teach. Now, after he is gone, I realized that it was true. Give your best at what you do. Don’t be shattered even if you lose. Even after success, be the humble you. Being grounded is what you should always choose Determination is the key to all success. The most important thing I learnt from him, is to learn from all life’s process. Now, I shall never let my light dim.

Success, profits resulted by hard work difficult to attain for the lazy ones. Each and every one gaining strength through support and friendship resulting in the pursuit of excellence. Joining hands for the journey that lies ahead Is a one that is undiscovered.

It begins from your desire and ends with its end, You would have to mould yourself but its principles wouldn’t bend. Its thread is in your hands to make it jovial or torment, Make wise decisions of you would be left to defend. It gets you surprises and some dares too, It might seem red but actually be blue. It gives you challenges even when you don’t have a clue. Make the calculations right because you cannot undo. For every step forward, you would have to strive, It makes it indispensable to make hard work your wife. Don’t fear the obstacles and make your dive, Put in your best, don’t let laziness thrive.

The pursuit of excellence, Makes us deal with benevolence, We have to master that with finesse, Then only we can gain the determined success. The road to the preferred goal, Needs a simple patrol, Around the determination of the soul, And letting the passion unfold. The cure to the thirst of success is easy, Yet it’s very difficult and greasy, Will power and passion’s the cure, And then let the goal await you which is pure.

Excellence is a profound thing, In sports, Not at all related to winning. It’s completely related to the mind, It is a very difficult thing to find.

What is Excellence? I play golf, in that sense, Excellence is not winning. Excellence is an endless slog On this road you will learn many a thing.

If you have a bad week, month or even a year, Don’t think of it as a period of disappointment. Think of it as a period of growth. This is when the inner champion in you, Will leap forward and come forth.

On the path to excellence, You need to learn to use the mind. Mind must be master of the body. Act in the moment and you will find, The immense power and potential, Hidden in your subconscious mind.

I give everything, To expect nothing. Striving to achieve the success, To help others and guide them in progress. Living a life with no regret, To never let people get upset. In this pursuit of excellence, My heart is filled with benevolence. MOPURI BHAVIK SAI

A dream comes true For him, for her, for me and you. Too much to ask for, too much to do. Too much to expect, and too much to give.

Just because Rickshaw pullers said no to you in a row, do you give up going home although? Failure makes it very easy to give up, It doesn't mean that for everything you need to breakup. Start from scratch, Dive a little deeper into your dreams- without picturing them out!

Success doesn't come from North, West, East or South, and now what are you worrying about? It comes from you, yes it lies within you, And now what are you planning to do? Are you going to sit there and dream? Or get up go and fight with the biggest of scream?

There goes a saying, Go in pursuit of excellence, and success will come chasing you. As the elders say, ‘‘Study, study, study. Only then, successful will you be. From the womb to the tomb, All through the way, Thorns, there will be. Some, minor. Some, major. Some, easy. Some, tough. But you must! You MUST face it. You MUST brave it. You MUST fight it. And you MUST defeat it.’’ And our reply, “Oh! Do we have to? There came a reply with in. Dear, listen, Its me with in you… Chase me, I am near you. Diamonds are found while raw. Its shines bright when polished. You are the diamond and your work the leading path to excellence.

Hard work and struggles bore us fruits of success When there is success, there is excellence. But not being perfect is not an offence It is a blessing which cannot compress. One can destroy and suppress thee But motivation and confidence can make you agree That one need not to be perfect but, hard-work and sheer determination can help reach heights One keeps a role model, aspires to become like them, But I say make you own way Learn their struggles and motivation Follow their mantra to achieve excellence in your own way!!
