The 10th session of the 60th round of the Academy Branch Workshops was held on May 8th, 2018 at 17 p.m. This meeting was held by Mrs. Ani as the guest speaker, Ms. Saman as the master of ceremony and Ms. Mitra as the secretary. The weekly agenda was “Guide’s week?”
Mrs. Ani Speech:
I congratulate you on the guide’s week and hope all the Congress60’s lovers a very good and prosperous week. The meaning of guide in Congress60 is completely different from other places.
Our first guide was our mother and as we entered kindergarten and schools, our teachers taught us gradually and we grew up with this learning. We learned different topics. Parents raised us with love and taught us how to be polite. We also learn from our friends and what we learn will solve a problem of ours in future. Now, one may ask this question: “to what extent should we learn?” The answer is the more, the better.
In other places, as a person asks another individual to do a work, they may respond: “it is none of your business!”. They only want to show that they are the governor of that place and [resist anything] and they think this type of response works; however, they are wrong!
In the life of human beings, politeness is the most important matter, you might have heard that “a human’s politeness is better than their position”. I consider a polite person as a person who has everything including wealth, money and house. However, if a person has all of these things without being polite, it is as if they have nothing.
How much have you changed after entering Congress60? You came in here with lots of sorrow and weep. You said you disregarded your travelers and you did not give food to them. However, after leaving Congress60 on the first day of your entrance, you came back home, you cooked food with love. In this place, only good things are taught. Human beings must learn good things. With learning bad things, human beings will go nowhere. But by increasing love of your family, love ties will be strengthened.
When a person becomes polite, all other people will be their obedient. You have to behave your children with love and respect; therefore, they will learn the same things and as they get married, they will behave well towards their family. Human beings can learn bad things very easily, it is the same as destroying a building with dynamite; however, as you want to build a building, it takes several years. The same applies for human beings. Building [training] a [good] human is very difficult but breaking their hearts is very easy.
Since we are not able to train other people in a short time, if they say something [bad], I want God to guide them. If you learn anything from your teacher, good on you; but if you don’t; time will teach you. But see you can learn from your teacher very easily; however, time will teach you with much trouble: you have to undergo lots of difficulty to lean something.
This week is for all the guides and teachers who have taught you anything and you have to be grateful to them. The easiest way to appreciate them is to put money in an envelope and present to them. We are approaching Ramadan. Try to fill your heart with good things and cleanse your mind of bad things.
If we care for these issues, the whole world will change into a great garden. Try to cleanse your heart from hatred, even if you were annoyed by the worst possible things. Forgive them so much that they feel embarrassed and shy. If you can do this, you can claim that I have been successful and learned good things and this will be good for us and we can enjoy. I hope you a good week. Behave kindly towards your family and never look at the bad behaviours, but see the good ones. May God protect you all.
