ThinkRite

Seven simple steps! Just seven layers of correction and empowerment is all it takes for anyone to rebound on life with unlimited energy and enthusiasm. The course ThinkRite - For Teens that we conducted in Eashwari engineering college is a standing testimony to the level of transformation that we can bring about in the mindset of a person.

We conducted ThinkRite as a set of seven classes spanning over a week (16th September 2008 to 23rd September 2008), each session lasting about three hours. You will not believe that the clouded faces that were seated timidly on the first day were the same beaming faces that left the hall on the seventh day. The transition was spectacular and deeply fulfilling to watch and to be a part of.

Every student was so grateful for having been part of the course. Many of them had been so worried about changing their life styles for achievement, since in their minds somehow change had got identified with pain, struggle, hardships and will power. The one greatest gift of ThinkRite to them has been to show that it is easy!

When you know how to do something, it ought to be easy

The students understood experientially that sometimes change can be as easy as changing the TV channel with a remote. They learnt to switch the destructive scripts and programs in their minds into empowering scripts and patterns and voila, they have a different set of thoughts, feelings and actions steaming from them without effort.

Three cheers to the administration of SRM for being genuinely interested in the holistic development of the students. We sincerely wish more and more college heads follow the path of SRM in truly gifting a glorious education and hence a bright future for their students.

To succeed once is one thing, but to replicate the success consistently is yet another thing altogether. We had glimpses of the future in our very next Intro to ThinkRite - For Teens at SRM group of colleges on the 11^th September 2008. This time the participants were all the first year freshers who have joined the college hardly a week ago. The response was tremendous again with the students bursting into a euphoric expression of joy at their good fortune to begin the main phase of their academics with a program such as this.

In fact as the session progressed, right in the middle of a statement two girls who were seated at the back got up from their seats and came to sit in the first row declaring to the entire class that they consider this as their first step towards taking responsibility. Altogether ThinkRite is now a buzzword amongst the hostel students of SRM.
