India: It is difficult to tolerate in any sense the idea of burning taxpayer's money on inflated quotations and payments to conduct common wealth games. Promoting sporting activities without a feel for sportsmanship is something that looks mockic. A PT Master in a small Indian high school school may purchase 20 cricket bats 50 hockey sticks, etc and earn a commission of a Rs 2000 to Rs 3000 in one whole year from the school administration. The same way, the district, state, etc indulge in small to high level of corruption depending upon their levels. But have you heard of sports bosses spending more on ceremonies and not coaching. Have you seen corrupt federation presidents

Brookfields: Bodybuilding supplements are just additions to an already good nutrition and training program. Nutrition and training are the most important components of a bodybuilding program. One has to understand that supplements do not make up for improper training or a l ow qua l i t y d i e t . Bodybu i l d i ng supplements only work when your diet and your training program are optimal. Certain supplements may suit a group of people while they may not be suitable for others. “One has to consult the physical trainer and experiment before consuming more and more supplements.” says Arun, the owner of Body Evolution gym located in Brookfields.

“The awareness on doing workouts regularly has increased among public. However, the eating habits and the sedentary style of living by information technology people damage their health.” says Mr. Arun. He also agrees that housewives and girls are not in the habit of g o i n g t o g y m r e g u l a r l y .

When using a treadmill you'll burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outside however, the great thing is you never have put up with the sounds of vehicles, people or even the pollution that comes from living near a city. There is also the benefit of no rain or wind to contend with, plus a treadmill workout can be done any time; day or night. “However, except for basic workouts, the athletes will have to practice on the ground.” says Mr. Arun.

Looking Both Ways – Promoting Sports and Corruption

serving for 12 years? Between the officials in the Indian sports room were more than 200 collective years of sports administration but only 18 Olympic medals (including 11 in hockey, which was last earned in 1980) - mere autonomy. Even in individual sporting events, the corrupt authorities meddle by recommending the wrong ones at the cost of spoiling the career of best athletes. This is still happening in many states and sure ly in Karnataka.

Right to Education Act Needs AmendmentsBangalore: Many schools do not welcome the the RTE act that favours 2 5 % s e a t r e s e r v a t i o n f o r underprivileged. The government drastically failed in improving the government schools and ultimately discovered this plan. There are still

ample ways the government can work out to develop the government schools instead of affecting the functioning of private schools. The private schools do have the responsibility of educating underprivileged students free of cost. But there are many hassles that will lower the

standard of education in schools. There is no doubt that presently

the underprivileged do not get an opportunity to get into private schools. Because of this the opportunities are restricted. So they need to be given opportunity to study in an environment to come up well. To do this 25% of seats may be too much to ask for. Also some standards are to be set in admitting the students of underprivileged so as to maintain the overall standards of the school. Selective intelligent students from underprivileged sections will certainly cope up with the new environment. Whereas pushing the masses from urban, semi-urban and rural areas in private schools will create havoc. It is a fact that many underprivileged intelligent students who have come up in life. There are various ways, the government can look at the needs of underprivileged instead of bringing a new issue like this. One such as making the syllabus challenging.

Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.

MIND WORKS-46Are you Assertive, Submissive or Aggressive in your Behavior?By UK Athikkal

-----------What is assertiveness? It is the appropriate expression of feelings in ways that do not infr inge on the r ights of others. Assertiveness involves acting in your own best interests by expressing your thoughts and feelings directly and honestly. It is implied that assertiveness involves standing up for your rights when someone else is about to infringe on them. To be assertive is to speak out rather than pull your punches.

Assertive behavior involves the expression of one's genuine feelings, standing up for one's legitimate rights, and refusing unreasonable request. It means withstanding undue social influences, disobeying arbitrary authority figures. Since many of our feelings are positive such as love and admiration, assertive behavior also means expressing them. Assertive people also use the power of social influence to achieve desired ends.

The nature of assertiveness can best be clarified by contrasting with the other t y p e c a l l e d s u b m i s s i v e n e s s . Submissiveness involves consistently giving in to others on points of possible contention. Submissive people let others take advantage of them. Typically, their biggest problem is that they cannot say 'No' to unreasonable demands. Individuals who use this style often feel bad about themselves and resentful of those who take advantage of them. These feelings often lead the submissive individual to try to punish the other person by withdrawing, sulking or crying.

Another alternative to assertiveness is aggressiveness. With assertive behavior one strives to respect other's rights and defend themselves. The problem in real life is that assertive and aggressive behaviors may overlap. When someone is about to infringe on their rights, people often lash out at the other party(aggression) while defending their rights(assertion). The challenge, then, is to be firm and assertive without becoming aggressive.

Researchers indicated that submissive behavior leads to poor self-esteem and vice versa. Submissive behavior may also lead to self-denial, emotional suppression, and strained interpersonal relationships. The important point with assertiveness is that you are able to state what you want directly. Being able to do so make you feel good about yourself and will usually make others feel good about you too. When we are submissive, our self esteem plummets. Aggressive behavior involves physical and verbal attacks, threats and insults.

A w a r e n e s s o f t h e a b o v e characteristics of three types of behavior empower us to observe and practice the most rewarding style, that is assertive behavior.This column is contributed by U K Athikkal, Life Skill Coach and Certified N L P Trainer.
