Learning by Doing
“Excellence is never an accident”
“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.” Plato
Excellence is never an accident: LPS manifests its effort to honour, care for, and educate the whole person by encouraging its constituents to strive after intellectual, physical, psychological, social and spiritual health and well-being. Loyola seeks to encourage holistic growth, going beyond the academic context by providing members of its community with a wide variety of resources and opportunities, and by encouraging them to appreciate the value and importance of a well-integrated and restorative leisure. This is reflected in Loyola’s commitment to the classical ideal of “a sound mind in a sound body.”
Take a few minutes to commune with Nature: We should hold ourselves blessed and fortunate to have such a spacious campus with well-laid roads, wreathed by soothing greenery. Spend a few minutes every day, looking at the trees and the growing saplings. Soak yourself in the goodness of mother earth, our Common Home as Pope Francis calls it. Think of the abundance of grains and fruits it bears for us to sustain our life besides giving us a wide variety of flowers of all colours to embellish the beauty of our landscape and please our eyes. Sensitize your ears to listen to the song of birds, the rustle of leaves in the whispering breeze, the chirping of the crickets and the croaking of frogs during the rainy season. At the End of the Day: As you bring a closure to the day’s activities and prepare for a peaceful and restful sleep, devote a few seconds to cast a quick glance at the day that has passed into your life history. If you have feel any regret for the time not well spent for yourself and for others around you, resolve to begin a more fruitful and purposeful day when you wake up gratefully to embrace another fresh day of your life.
Feeling good is feeling healthy. Feeling good about you is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity. Good things happen in your life when you surround yourself with positive people. Feeling good is
always the result of right intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, that determines your destiny. ‘Feel Good’ should make you feel good. Our world is a deeply human world where people make mistakes but are not instantly damned, have flaws that are not fatal. Such people, It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternative – choice, not chance, and determines your destiny. Feel Good should make you feel good. It is good for almost everything that ails us. It’s important to feel good about yourself.
When you feel good about yourself, nothing negative can touch you. Feeling healthy and good about you is not luxury, it is an absolute necessity. Good things happen in your life when you surround yourself with positive people.
