Keep It Up !
Nowadays, I write a blog on various subjects related to my experiences. I am very grateful to my readers and often respond to them as a goodwill gesture. Recently one of my well-wishers appreciated my blog saying ‘Keep it up’. I thanked him at that moment.
While reading the inspiring poem by Rabindranath Tagore, ‘Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high…’, from his Nobel-winning collection of poems, Gitanjali, the words ’Keep It Up’ replayed in my mind.
Keeping it up is not, always, so easy. But the benefits of keeping it up are significant. It fosters self-respect, dignity, and a positive self image. It helps us navigate life with less stress and fear, earning respect from others and setting a good example for our children.
‘Keeping it up’ keeps your posture straight having significant impact on both health and longevity!
During my time at Government , Polytechnic, Jalgaon, I always tried to walk straight, keeping my back straight and head high, through the 500-foot corridor!
