A MILESTONE IN OUR JOURNEY

2 Comments / Articles, Education /

I have immense pleasure to address you all to express my sincere gratitude for accepting the magazine close to your hearts. The number of responses that we receive from every nuke and corner of the world itself proves how well our attempt is appreciated. Thank you all for supporting us! Sincere gratitude to the directors of Writers Capital International Foundation (WCIF) from across the world, whose enthusiasm has been a great motivation for our efforts.

Although Internet is the vastest resource in today’s world, there is still a scarcity of a platform where we can find all genres of literature under a single roof. When there are some websites that offer good content, they fail to present them in an attractive way; if someone successfully brings a good design, they fail to bring the best of the content; if everything happens, they lack simplicity in accessing the content. It is considering all these aspects we have conceived the idea of a complete magazine – The Litterateur. All that we offer is a venue where under the shades of the trees we can sit for a while and fill our souls with the nectar of literature to our hearts’ content, in the best digital ambience.

The evolution of the idea of Litterateur Online was not an abrupt process! It came out of a strong drive to bring something powerful and meaningful media to bring quality works into mainstream literature. Writers, fundamentally, are innocent creatures and are often tend to be carried away by false promises by people they trust. When the selfish motives of a few self-proclaimed masters and leaders in social media work, it is often the innocence of those sensitive and sensible writers being deceived. The moment when we realise this, it would be too late and we find ourselves shattered upon the understanding of the world and its deception.

It is time to wake-up to reality and to identify what is good and sustainable for the future as a writer. For the very same we need formal platforms beyond the virtual world where certificates evolved out of the imagination of graphic designers has nothing to offer but a few hours or days of excitement. All that we need to do is to seek opportunities to refine our skills in writing, to invite more experiences in life for rich content in the works and to further expand vision globally. Who on earth, would not wish his or her name famed across the world? However, I earnestly believe that the same should not be the only aim of writing. The very moment we complete a workbrings the greatest reward of it and a great work, even if you hide it in your shelf, will come out to the limelight one or the other day.

“When you aim for perfection, you discover it’s a moving target.” Thus says George Fisher andI understand we have a long way to go before we translate the concept of a complete magazine into reality. On this occasion, I am glad to inform you all that we are ready with the print edition of Litterateur Online named The Litterateur. We have a panel of editors who would select the best works from Litterateur Online, however we regret that we are unable to publish all works in the print edition due to limited pages in it. Primary responses show that the magazine will have extensive reach across the globe and I am sure this will take your name and fame beyond the political barriers.

We have one country known as earth, we have one religion known as love and we stand for those mighty values of humanity! Let us all dedicate ourselves for the noble causes of humanity that would turn earth a better place to live!

Warm Regards,

Editor-in-Chief

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

1 Comment / Articles, Education /

William Wordsworth was born in 1770, in Cockermouth, Cumbria, to a middle-class family. He loved the beauty of the Lake District, and was close to his four siblings, particularly his sister Dorothy. But when William was seven, his mother died and the Wordsworth children were separated and lived with different relatives. William’s father then died five years later. The death of both parents at a young age had a huge impact on William, who recalled feeling lonely as a child.

While studying at Cambridge University, William spent one summer vacation travelling through the Alps, and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the mountains. He returned to France again the following year, and fell in love with a French woman, Annette Vallon. They had a daughter together, Caroline. But tensions between France and Britain meant William had to return home. He continued to support Annette and Caroline throughout his life, but his guilt at leaving them featured in many of his poems.

In 1795, William inherited some money from a friend, which helped to fund his work as a poet. He also moved to Somerset with his sister Dorothy. Dorothy was a poet, too, and wrote many diaries. She was said to have a great influence on William’s writing.

The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived close by in Somerset and became great friends with William. Together they created Lyrical Ballads (1798) – featuring poems such as Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Wordsworth’s Tintern Abbey. Many consider this to be the start of the Romantic era in English literature.
In autumn 1798, William, Dorothy and Coleridge travelled to Germany. William was homesick and began working on a poem about his life. The Prelude is now regarded as his greatest work – an epic poem (written in 14 books), created over several years. It deals with the experiences that shaped William’s life, and rather fittingly was only published after his death.

In 1799, William and Dorothy moved back to the Lake District, and Coleridge relocated nearby. Some of William’s best work was written in the decade that followed, including one of his most popular poems I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (commonly called Daffodils).

In 1802, William and Dorothy returned to France. William wanted to tell Annette about his forthcoming marriage to a childhood friend, Mary Hutchinson. He and Mary had five children together, and continued to live with Dorothy who never married.

William was devastated when his brother, John, died in a shipwreck in 1805. Seven years later, tragedy struck again when two of William’s young children passed away. Many of his poems reflect these losses, but when another daughter died in 1847, aged 42, the grief caused William to give up writing completely.

William became the UK’s Poet Laureate in 1843, a position he kept until his death, aged 80, from a lung disease. Although Wordsworth wrote no poetry during this time, his work had already touched the lives of ordinary people, reflecting their everyday experiences as well as their deepest emotions.

BEACH OUTFITS – WHAT TO WEAR AT THE BEACH THIS SUMMER

Leave a Comment / Education /

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

3 THINGS THAT HELP YOU MOTIVATE YOURSELF

1 Comment / Education /

The major reason why we procrastinate is because we are not motivated enough. And there isn’t one single factor that determines motivation. In this article we discuss the three factors that influence self motivation.

I know that I am supposed to do a particular activity like an assignment, or study a book or write letters. But I tend to postpone these indefinitely, citing various excuses.

The major reason why we procrastinate is because we are not motivated enough. Being a mentor for a bunch of young talented students in a leading MBA college allows me in a position where I can see lack of self motivation as one of the biggest stumbling blocks in student and professional life.

And there isn’t one single factor that determines motivation.

Charles Handy talks about 3 things that are required in motivational calculus.

  • I should know my needs. These can be the need for security, for money, food, clothing and shelter, or need for companionship, or need for approval, or a need to fulfill my debt to various people.
  • I should know the result of which activity would satisfy these all or some of these needs.
  • I should have the energy or the resources (money, time etc.) to spend on those activities.

The above are multiplicative. That is, if any of the three is not there, I would not be motivated.

If I do not know my needs, then no activity would motivate me.

If I do not have the energy or the resources, then I cannot finish the activity satisfactorily.

If I do not know how to satisfy my needs, then I will not be motivated.

Therefore, I have to link the activity (that I dislike) to a need. For example, if I fear that I will fail a course, and therefore have a need to pass it and get rid of my fear, I can link an assignment to that need. If I need the approval of my colleagues, and the distasteful activity will satisfy that need, then I will try to do the activity.

Whether I finish the activity or not is based on the resources at hand. If I do not have the time, or I delayed it so much that I cannot possibly finish, then I am not motivated to do the activity, even if I know that the activity will satisfy a need.

The same principle holds good for motivating others. If I do not know the needs of another person, I cannot offer him an activity, the result of which would satisfy the needs.

If I do know his needs and I can link it to an activity that I want him to do, and I provide him with the means and resources (including training) to do that activity, the person will be motivated.

Remove any of the three (needsFree Articles, activity or resources) and there will be no motivation.

HOW DIGITAL LEARNING HAS CHANGED THE ASPECT OF EDUCATION

2 Comments / Education /

Here, the most talked word of the year “online” or “digital” or “remote” has revamped the business, routine life, health and education system. People have reached the point of judgement that digital is new normal now, nothing more. Technology existed even before, learning management was still doing well, computers and mobile applications were still being used. So, what is so changed now?

Education system is empowered now. It is remotely interactive now. Learning has become Experimental now. Responsibilities getting multiplied each day. Advanced technology and learning tools are shared amongst learners now.

Moreover, online learning has opened plenty of opportunities, coming via technical sources. People from behind the gadgets can sit along with their kids, while embracing home like learning.

Customized Learning

Face Monday test, Friday test, weekly test and monthly test perceived to be a monotonous process. It was uneven to every student. Preparing for exams, sitting in a row, a long-drawn wait for results is what became irregular now. Education is no longer dependent on one way of teaching method. It is what became personalized. Teachers, keeping in mind facilitate the teaching methods as per student’s core learning skills. With the approach, the link between students and teachers grows in upward spiral motion.

Personalised learning is possible through integrated process like that of Learning Management systems that have been doing well in schools and institutions. From primary to higher, from curriculum based to examination based, content is prepared as per the needs of students.

Efficient resources, curated school-curriculum, quality content printed in education books that are designed by recognised digital publishing companies.

Integrated Learning

Learners sitting anywhere around the world can imbibe much better on learning gadgets. Academics is fun-learning. Live calls with instructors are one such collaborative medium of communication. Learning together enhances wide array of growth and development. Reading through graphs and diagrams is interactive. Critically based problems can be taught easily through machine learning software at online learning platforms. Learning experience is unique for both students and learners here.

Technology brings opportunities, in the case, where hundreds of e-publishing companies are opened to digital opportunities. This is an expanded source to career building. Educational resources, tools and technology is an ultimate element of learning and this is impossible without digital support to book publishers in India.

Flexible Learning

Learning is awesome if it’s could be performed anytime, anywhere. Learning is remote just like your portable gadgets at home. Laptops, iPad, tablets and even learning is accessible on mobile phones, makes the learning experience much more flexible. The journey from classrooms to mobile phones is a milestone one. All these tools play and integral role in student’s learning growth, if used wisely. Not only vital for learners but also a far-reaching tool for teachers in the digital classrooms. They can simply use them to conduct quizzes, profile-review, e-book-review, discover digital publishing solutions (for teachers) multiple activities together etc

I never wondered this before that mobile phone could be used as a source of learning other than entertainment, calling & messaging. Moreover, students adapt skills in managing devices, software and apps through AI advancement.
