The Author.
Self represents every human being, my-self, your-self, but greater than the greatest is good-self. Service before-self simply means service primary and the self secondary. Every - body learns this from Nature. The energy of every being is because of Sun known as solar-energy, i.e. life force energy. Air blows in all directions to provide oxygen gas to keep us alive. Our thirst is quenched by water provided by Nature. Our hunger is fulfilled by grains, vegetables and fruits given by plants. Thus the service before-self is the Rule of the thumb – follow Mother Nature. The Nature never expects even any return gift from living being.
After nature, we learn from our parents. They are ever ready to sacrifice themselves up to any extent for the welfare of their child.
The third service before-self is learnt by our respected teachers in schools and colleges. They enjoy their profession by imparting knowledge to their students to make them dutiful citizen of the country.
Speaking over Some important services before students of the modern society a great challenge these days, they are suppose to adopt few guide lines to come out with flying colours in life are:
(1) to participate in learning opportunities
(2) to participate in extra-curricular activities
(3) to obey all policies of their institutions
(4) to respect their elders and love their youngsters
(5) should be sincere, honest, co-operative and hard working
(6) should be punctual and methodical.
Students are back-bone of our society. The progress of society depends upon positive performance of students and their excellent moral conduct.
Patriotic persons like Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Sardar Patel performed their noble duties to give us freedom without any selfish motto. Consciously or sub-consciously every one of us likes to remain ever happy. This can be achieved by helping others according to our capability.
The service before-self can be best enjoyed by remaining healthy, happy and with purposeful life. Dedication of self for the society gives ecstasy. Last but not the least, "I am confident to say the proverb-God helps those who help themselves."
