childlabour



The statistics given below is by the UNICEF...
the results are shocking but true and not to forget that there is lot more unidentified..

An estimated 218 million children aged 5-17 are engaged in child labour, excluding child domestic labour. Some 126 million of these children are believed to be engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, laboring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.

Millions of girls who work as domestic servants are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. An estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked, forced into debt bondage or other forms of slavery (5.7 million), into prostitution and pornography (1.8 million), into participating in armed conflict (0.3 million) or other illicit activities (0.6 million). However, the vast majority of child laborers – 70 per cent or more – work in agriculture.

The campaigning against child labour is going on worldwide,celebrities across the globe are fighting for abolishing it. But all these years there has been one form of child labour that has gone unnoticed or should i say neglected.

Did we think of the child that is made to act in television and in cinema. Do we fight against it?

Isn't that child labour?

Why is it so?

because of the mere fact that it is entertaining.

Wont the child acting undergo physical and mental stains. In half the cases, the poor baby doesn't even know what its doing or made to do.

Think of it in a different way,

The average per capita income of a person below poverty line in developing/underdeveloped countries is less than than $ 1. Will this amount be enough for that breadwinner to feed his family? If a child is made to work in a neighborhood he/she can a earn for his daily bread. When a child is allowed to act in a movie and earn money out of it, why cant the others?

Should there be a regulation of the field or nature of work the child is made to do, at least he/she can fill his tummy once a day.

In the race between our stomach and heart, the stomach always wins.

Think!

Do things for the love of doing it!




Who wouldn't like to earn money? Who wouldn't like to get famous?
Everybody in this competitive or should i say hyper competitive world wants to lead their life, successful with a lovely wife, cute children - A Happy Life and in doing so gets hunted by people all through the day.
Well thats tough enough lifestyle to lead but ultimately this is inevitable.

Start asking yourself
Should i be doing this throughout my life? Should i get numb to my feelings for satisfying others?
Since when have you been doing things for money rather than the love for doing it.

Hard work
Its all hard work.Nothing comes easily.
But you'll have lot of fun doing it.

Skill
Do you think you are damn good at what you're doing.
To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it.
Theres no magic, its practice, practise, practice.

Detemination
Focus yourself on one thing rather than getting your hands on so many things at a time just because you are hypercharged on doing it. Remember motivation can be exhaustive at times.
Push yourself physically, mentally and be prepared for anything that comes your way.

Get rid of your shyness
As mentioned the world is getting competitive at the second so break your shyness and self doubt.
I wasn't good enough, I wasn't smart enough, I don't think i can make it are all hinder ens.If you think so just get in front of the mirror slap yourself hard and let out your self doubt.

Serve
Serve others, that might be your mom, dad, wife, children, friends. This is a virtue that can make you millions. All the people who are successful today have served people, because only when you serve people you get recognised and others atart admiring you.

Ideas
All great inventions and discoveries of today, all starded of as a apark in somebodys mind.
How to make an interesting idea?
Listen
Observe
Be curious
Ask questions
Solve problems
Make connections..
Creativity is a virtue everyone posses its not gifted.

Persist
You have to persist on doing what you are doing.
persist - failure
criticism
rejection
pressure.

These are just some of the things you should do on a regular basis if you are looking to become famous ans successful. Stop waiting for things to happen to you but instead go after them and be aggressive because you should never rely on things falling into your lap.
