“CONTRIBUTOR PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM”- A subject which
is not a waste of time and effort, but a subject which teaches the values and
ethics of leading the life. Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to
make man a cleverer devil. Real education is that which enables one to stand on
one’s own legs. The education that one receives in schools and colleges only
makes him a race of dyspeptics. It makes a person work like machines merely,
and living like a jelly-fish existence. We want that education by which
character is formed, strength of mind is increased and the intellect is
expanded. It should teach the approach -“Stand up, be bold and take the blame
on your shoulders if you are the culprit.” Within man is all knowledge, and it
requires only an awakening and that is the work of education. Hence the
education should include subjects that can enable this awakening.
Personality Development is the development of the organized
pattern of behavior, attitude, emotional responses and social roles that makes
a person distinct. It is the most sought for quality in a person. To enhance
this quality, Contributor Personality Development Program has been
introduced. It takes up the values that Swami Vivekananda used in his life.
Swami Vivekananda was extremely result-oriented. He expected that individuals
do not merely work, but work in order to achieve results and create values for
themselves and society. He therefore insisted on –“Fill the brain with right
thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that
will come great work”. Swami Vivekananda wanted each of us to plunge whole
heartedly into the task at hand. It is only through such single-minded devotion
that excellence can be achieved. “Take up one idea, make that one idea your
life, think of it, dream of it and live on it”. You cannot hope to make a man a
surgeon by simply giving him a few books. A person should have complete
dedication towards what he does and that’s what Swami Vivekananda emphasized
on.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning, but
anyone can start now and create a successful ending. This is the heart of Contributor
Personality Development Program. It teaches a person to accept the pain and
prepares him to achieve success. It enables a person to recognize each aspect
of life. It is often said – “‘Changing the Face’ can change nothing, but
‘Facing the Change’ can change everything”. This is a subject that helps you
realize your capabilities and your strengths, thus making you a stronger, a happier,
and a contented person which is the real wealth a person can gain in his life.
