WEEK IN BRIEF-11 – 16 October 2010

Quote for the Week:



“No pressure; No diamonds.”- Thomas Carlyle

We all know that diamond is the hardest substance found on Earth. It is formed under the Earth’s surface under conditions of extreme pressure and high temperature. It is in fact this high pressure that gives the diamond its hardness and makes its ‘unbreakable’. Human endurance can be compared to the diamond’s strength. When subjected to extreme pressure or negative situations or when faced with challenges for survival, the human mind conditions itself to endure them and become stronger. It is the lessons we learn from life’s difficulties that make us ready for moving forward without any fear.

More of these training and counseling sessions will be conducted by eminent academicians from various educational institutions including Marian College, Kuttikanam, in the coming days. It can also pave a way for IPSR to partake in Corporate Social Responsibility.
