Relocation -A packet of challanges for our children Miltary families relocate more frequently than civilian families, every two to three years, on average . Relocating to a new base is a challenge in itself. But when there is a kid involved, the challenge multiplies two-folds!   The challenges of a relocation are particularly acute for our children . These challanges are : (1) kids are forced to say goodbye to friends, teachers, and the familiar comfort of their community. For adolescents, the hardest part of relocating is having to leave close friends behind . (2) After the move, kids  might find themselves lagging behind the rest of their classmates. (3) Many children  find it hard to make new friends. (4)  When military families move from bases to civilian neighborhoods, children often feel isolated from their peers, who can’t identify with the military lifestyle. (5)   Everyone likes to complete the packing job well in advanc...

Three important things to achieve your goals in life   Three things  important to acheive your aim are  : * Desire Desire is the greatest motivator in human life . When you really want to do something ,half the battle is over .  Put your desire in terms of money , love ,ego food and health . Many people have got brains and highly developed scientific or artistic or administrative ability, but they lack drive or a sense of direction . * Ability Next step is to develop the required ability. Check your abilities to be sure that your desires are acheivable and realistic. But , don't confuse ability with training .

"Tempo " is another important  point to check in considering your ability...

How to get what you want out of life * You are not going to do anything  until you begin to think about it. *  Desire is the greatest motivator in human life . * Specify your desires . * Identify and develop the required ability to fulfill your desires. * Don't forget to improve your human relationships .
