A New Beginning

In a small institution near the mountains, a group of students gathered for


an interview. They were all excited, but also a little nervous. The topic was about
how to influence others in a positive way. One student, who was usually silent,
decided to introduce a new idea. It was different, but it made sense.

He said, “We often think that being fancy or loud is the way to be noticed. But
sometimes, being ordinary, being pure, and being innocent can be more powerful.”
The others listened in confusion, but slowly began to understand.

Another student added, “We should not investigate people’s mistakes too much.
Instead, we should try to inform them and help them grow.” This idea was rough at
first, but it became clearer with examples. One student shared an instance where
they helped a friend who was doing badly in school. Instead of blaming, they chose
to invest time and energy to help.

The teacher, who had been silent, finally spoke. “This is the kind of thinking we need.
Not just in school, but in life. We must be open to new ideas, even if they
seem unknown or minor at first.”

Later that day, the students walked away from the school, feeling light and hopeful.
They saw a nearby park and decided to sit and talk more. One student said, “I used
to feel lazy and low, but now I feel ready to make a change.”

They talked about how to make their school better. They wanted to create a space
where everyone felt safe to speak, even if their ideas were thin or initial. They
planned to hold meetings occasionally, where students could introduce new
thoughts and share their feelings.

One student asked, “What if someone says something that is FALSE?” The teacher
replied, “Then we discuss it. We don’t judge. We learn.”

The next week, they started a new project. They called it “The Introduction Circle.”
Every student had a chance to speak. Some were shy, some were bold, but all were
heard. Even those who usually said nowhere felt seen.

They also talked about insurance—not the kind for cars or homes, but the kind that
protects feelings. They made rules to ensure kindness and respect. They said, “If
someone feels bad, we help. If someone feels low, we lift them.”

The school became a place of change. Students who were once ill with sadness
began to smile. Those who felt loose and lost found direction. The idea spread, even
reaching international schools.

In the end, it wasn’t about being perfect. It was about trying. It was about
being inside a community that cared. And that, they all agreed, was the
best investment of all.
