On average, a child in the urban area spends about eight hours in the school, some opt for tutorials
post-school hours; studies and school work might take up another two hours. This leaves the child with
hardly any dedicated hours for sports activities on a day to day basis.

This is mainly due to the pressures of rat-race that most of the children are often involuntarily subjected
to. Anxious parents, with best interests for their wards, unknowingly restrict the child’s exposure to mere
academics.

To begin with, who is a successful person? How does one define success? Someone who is rich and
famous; a well-known business tycoon; a politician; perhaps someone who has multiple degrees. The list
can go on. What may seem like an achievement to one, may seem otherwise to another.

Apart from human factors, environment also plays a key role in helping a person achieve and this may not be the
same for everyone. Success is, therefore, a highly subjective term.
If one comes to wonder about what makes these people successful, the answers to it as stated can also
get individualistic. It differs from person to person as the area of achievement could be varied.

The comparison image of a mother in the yesteryears pulling her child by his/her ear into the house to

A common scene at homes today is that of the youngsters fidgeting with their phones at all times. A second’s time
without the mobile makes them anxious. There exists a compulsion to check every notification that
crops up.
