I can still remember the day when my niece asked me this intriguing question “What makes you YOUNG, Aunt Rose?” Well, I simply took time and sat beside her and answered back, “I don’t know Lilly, why, what do you think? She then looked at me and gave me a simple but meaningful smile; she said, “NG”. I then took a second to think what she meant, then after a while I burst into a seemingly controlled laughter, when I realized that the word YOU, plus the letters N and G makes YOUNG! I love being with the kids, they’re so fragile, they live contently under the umbrella of their parents and overall they’re fun to be with.

One of the worst emotions a person can ever experience is fear. Fear is most often binding. As a byproduct of the anxious mind, fear is akin to a shadow which grips you. It can be unreal but it overwhelms you. If you finally give in to its overpowering impact, it can possibly overcome you. Such is the influence of fear or any other emotions for that matter- they create their own reality. There are varied degrees of fear. There are cases when it becomes unreasonable and irrelevant to a given situation or object. Fear which falls under this category is termed as a “phobia”.

Many myths are attached pertaining to gifted children. For one thing, they are thought of to suffer from social issues, that they are inept in this regard. The media also contribute to disseminating a certain stereotype towards these children. Television shows and movies would portray them as “nerdy”, and even as social misfits. This creates an unlikely image for the gifted, one which is far from accurate. “Genius” used to be term used for the word “gifted”. Hearing the word “genius” people would connote something as “bordering on madness”, of being “emotionally unstable”, of being solitary and a loner, of being unable to make friends.

Self- Esteem And Success (or Failure)
Most people have jobs. Jobs give them a means of earning a living. For many of these people, their means of earning a living gives direction to where to go everyday, or what to do regularly. Jobs have given them a routine, so to speak. And so a “job” has become that – somewhere to go to and something to do- 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. On the other hand, a “job” can mean fulfillment for some. A means where they can channel their skills, energy and motivation. And it is when they become productive. The “job” which they so constantly do has defined them and it has become “work” instead.

Making Conscious Effort For Good Mental Health
Just as you would your physical health, you also have to take care of your mental health. The state of your mental health has a major impact on how you live. On whether you will be happy or not, or successful or otherwise. Your mental health determines your attitude and approach towards life. How you perceive yourself and others, and how you handle stress. It also has to do with how you face up to responsibilities as well as in nurturing relationships. The term “mental health” is in fact very broad, and no concise definition exists. But mental health is a crucial aspect of your well-being, and it should be a priority.
