“The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.”  —

Ray L. Wilbur, third president of Stanford University

Aiming to raise awareness and activism to prevent child labour ILO decided to launch World Day Against Child Labour on 12 june in 2002. This day brings together governments, local authorities, civil society and international, workers and employers organizations to point out the child labour problem and define the guidelines to help child labourers.

As per studies, millions of children throughout the world are involved in work that deprives them of receiving an adequate education, health, leisure and basic freedoms, violating their rights. Of these children, more than half are exposed to the worst forms of child labour. It includes work in hazardous environments, slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities such as drug trafficking and prostitution, as well as involvement in armed conflict.

We are the generation of digitalisation and growth. Most of us might not be aware that children around the world are suffering more than we can ever think about. All of us are so busy chasing our dreams and success that we forget what is going around the world and Social Societies. This day is something that cannot be tackled or forgotten because not everyone is lucky enough to have a good and unabusive childhood.

We live in an era where everyone is trying to be perfect but nobody is making extra effort to be perfect. Sometimes perfection makes us happy but there are also times when you feel frustrated by how perfect you are. It’s true that perfection makes our life better but try to set boundaries for perfection so that it doesn’t get irritating. Here we are with some information on how perfection is an important part of our life. Let’s give it a read:

Don’t be Nasty, Be Perfect:

There are many people around us who don’t like even the slightest of imperfections. Well, it’s good to be perfect but not to the extent that someone or something is hurt in order to chase our perfections. Don’t make the nasty habit of doing everything perfect but instead chase your perfection in such a way that nobody or no one can feel the burden. Perfection will lead you to a better lifestyle but making it nasty habit will make your life less joyful.

Be A Chaser of Your Life

Perfection plays a core role if you are trying to be successful in your life. We all have that trigger inside us that tells us to give up. But when you tackle that triggering you will see the beauty of life. You will feel like your life is worth living. If you can be the chaser of your life then you will willingly be perfect and disciplined even without trying.

Don’t Try When You Feel Exhausted

Sometimes we feel exhausted and frustrated because we might be trying to be perfect in things we can’t control. But instead of trying, be mindful. Get some new ideas everyday. Build yourself. When you feel tired, then take a rest and come back again with new energy. This will help you in chasing perfection easily.

Be Perfect Without Comparison:

In order to be perfect we are always comparing ourselves with other people or sometimes even things. But instead of comparing yourself, be a perfect human on your own. Try to set new standards, first for yourself and second for others so that everyone can learn from you. Perfection isn’t something that we can control, it is something we are born with. So, don’t overwhelm yourself, just go with the flow.

But by being grateful for things you have you can live a happy life.

4) Listen To Music Often:

Music is a universal language and a door to release the stressful situations in life. When you think that nothing can make you happier, put on your headphones and start jamming on some of your favourite songs. Make a HAPPY playlist in your music player and listen to it when you are feeling sad.

5) Be You:

All of us have our own set of goals. But chasing goals effectively requires a lot of effort. In this hustling life we often forget what our goals are and start chasing material well being. It goes without saying that material wellbeing is important for a better life but when you are chasing your goals, it creates a new level of happiness and makes your life better. Below are some ideas for prioritizing your goals effectively:

1) Avoid Distractions

When you are working towards your goal, there tends to be a lot of distractions that you can’t control. From friends to family everyone will want to give their opinions on why your goal isn’t worth chasing. Sometimes you will be confused about whether you are going in the right direction or not. But when you are working towards your goals you should first focus on avoiding distractions. When you are able to avoid distractions you are already halfway through your goal chasing.

2) Take A Break Once In A While

It’s important to chase your goals but enjoying life and relaxing once in a while is an important part of life. While chasing your goal make sure to take a break to freshen up your energy and comeback with great motivation. Bit of break will help you in chasing your goal in an effective and fast way.

3) Don’t Be Afraid Of Slow Progress

We all have different ways of learning and progressing. But slow progress in chasing your goals is the most effective type of progress. From learning, falling to getting up again with new energy to chase your goals is called progress. Even if your progress is slow it is still progress, right?

4) Measure Your Progress

Every goal you set should/must be measurable. Even when you set small goals like reading a few pages of a novel everyday or learning to cook at least one new dish every week, you need to measure your progress. Every goal is supposed to be measured by counting on its progress. Think about how far you have come from the time you started out to chase your goal. If you think you are still in the same place then take some steps to improve your goal chasing.

5) Learn Something New Everyday Although your goal requires skills and talent in one particular field, learning something new outside the goal can also help you in prioritizing your goals. When you learn something new everyday you get closer to your dreams and goals directly or indirectly because everything we learn will help us in life at some point
