Which coaching institute is best for my kid in 5th standard for IIT JEE preparation?
Originally Answering:“Which institute is best for my kid in 5th standard for IIT preparation?Update: to all those suggesting that I let my child follow his dreams and not pressurize him. He is a kid and doesn’t know even what is good or bad. So parents decide what is better. IIT tag is very prestigious and it will bring pride to our family.”Let me correct your question first:You said “He is a kid and doesn’t know even what is good or bad”.Correction: Kids are born good. They know what is good. It is the environment and culture that make some corrupt and evil as hey grow. Read this article for more information on the same : Babies: Born to be Good?You said “IIT tag is very prestigious”.Correction: Prestige, like almost 99.5% other adjectives, is a relative term. Sure, IIT s might just be the best in Asia, but wait a sec, see these:IITs rank 185 at best (IITD) in the world, according to QS world university rankings, while NUS (at 12th worldwide) is the best in Asia currently, and MIT leads the world. So, is IIT more prestigious than MIT?3. You said: It would bring you “pride to your family.”Correction: Such an act will rank you among the quintessential Indian families who did not let their children follow their dreams. If thats pride, then you need to wipe your spectacles.Finally, your corrected question stands :“Which institute is best for my kid in 5th standard for his education and personal grooming?”Answer: It is his family. In class 5, he indeed is too young. He needs your support, not your dictatorship. He needs to take decisions for himself, so that he can become responsible later in life. For that, he needs you to advice him, and let him choose his own future. I respect your opinion, that children need to be advised in tender years, by their parents. However, you seem to contradict your own opinion.Finally, I assure you that no one in Quora will give you the name of some “coaching institute.”~SD
I'm 25 and I want to learn kick boxing. I have no prior experience in this sport. I know age doesn't matter and my heart is eager as my will to learn. Is it late to start?
Well I wouldn't consider myself the best judge of that as I started learning at quite an young age anyway I would try and give you a guide of what to expect.1. You would always wish that you had started earlier. Younger guys heal faster, pick up things faster, move faster. No matter when you start you will always wish you had started earlier. So the best thing to do, start now.2.Kickboxing isn't as fun as you think it is. Its not just about looking cool with handwraps and gloves on and it is not all about kicking asses. It is a painstaking process of developing perfection. Perfection of movement, perfection of broken rhythms, perfection of timing. The end product does look cool but it takes hours and hours of boring and monotonous repetition of the same thing again and again and again 3.Getting punched in the face is not a nice feeling. You will never grow used to it. Get comfortable with the idea of being uncomfortable. You will be sore, very very sore. Eat properly, warm up your muscles before starting and have a proper cooldown. Do extra stretching/yoga classes to supplement your kickboxing.4. You will not feel like turning up for class now and again. Just get up and go man trust me in the end will be worth it.5. You punch with your legs and kick with your hands remember that and hands up dude protect yourself at all times
I am a dropper. This year I couldn't make it to the JEE Advanced (got 101/360). I don't have the guts to tell my dad my score. What should I do now? Is suicide an option?
I'm a dropper too. My brother cleared JEE Advanced last year and he's now studying in IITK.I got 178 marks last year in JEE mains and got 166 in JEE Advanced but I didn't got admission anywhere.When I decided to drop this year I thought I would easily get under 1000 rank. I joined distance course of resonance. It was going well first few months but after that I felt lonely. And I started to feet scared every time I thought about JEE exam.I started to get more and more scared and finally I was depressed. Scared even to touch books.I had so many fights with my family about my studies especially my father. I was so convinced to end this painful life. It looked so easy. Just few minutes of pain but endless peace after that.The girl I used to love also hated me so there wasn't any reason for me to live.Then I started thinking about meaning of life but couldn't find anything good. Suddenly I realised that how big the universe is and how insignificant our lives are. I decided that my life is my own and I'm not going to waste my life listening to what others want me to do.So I stopped things that make sad or scares me and started doing things that make me happy.I stopped studying for exams and played guitar, painted, played cricket all the year.Now I'm ready to face anything life throws at me because my life is my own and I don't care about anything. And I know I can live it my way. The worst scenario would be that I may not have anything or I may become beggar but that would be OK. I can live with that.
