From the Editor’s Desk Greetings Welcome to another edition of The Editor‟s Pen! Today, we write about success of the students of BIS. Often, however, we ignore losses, and their significance. The editorial firmly believes that losing is not the end. You win sometimes and you sometimes learn. Of course, that doesn‟t mean that we should deny our disappointment. But, to be optimistic in the face of despair is a choice. You can either choose to fall back into obscurity or fight the feeling of disappointment and try to think there is a next time, and get out of the hole of shame and sadness. This is our message to all of you young souls and young-at-hearts. This newsletter highlights the victories of our school, but the aspect often overlooked collectively by a society is mistakes and follies. Albert Einstein once said that only a person who has never made a mistake must have never tried anything. Our message, with which I conclude this edition of The Editor‟s Pen, is keep on trying! Celebrate when your trials are rewarded, for sure! But try, and try and try until good becomes better and better becomes best, irrespective of loss and win. We hope you enjoyed reading this November edition of Bhavanasmita! Be Honest, Be Truthful Thanks and Regards, Editorial Team (Students & Staff) Designed by, Department of Computer Science.
