Dear Amitians,
Greetings!
“Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions.” Mark Richardson
Inculcating values is a monumental responsibility on the shoulders of the present day educators. It helps students develop a strong moral mind-set , prepares them for responsible citizenship, and contributes to the creation of a more ethical society. With a strong value system , you will be able to determine your priorities and lead your life purposefully. At Amity we do not merely impart knowledge; we guide our children towards the right principles, ethics and moral values. We ignite the flames of lifelong curiosity, foster a reverence for values, and sculpt compassionate and responsible global citizens. We, as educators, have realised the urgency to forge a new path, one that is collaborative, interdisciplinary, and profoundly enriching in its approach to teaching and learning. Our mission is to equip our students with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the modern world, to instil responsibility, discipline, fellow-feeling, strong value system, global harmony, tolerance, and positive outlook. Values influence your behaviours, relationships, and everyday life. They adequately guide you in decision-making, influence personal development, and carve your ideal career path.
Dear students, delve deep into the realms of your mind and find some treasures there. Make the best use of opportunities , exposure and experiences provided to you to prove your innate capabilities. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can give your best . Last but not the least, have faith in your yourself because lack of self-awareness can lead to a less rational attitude to choices, and ultimately to undesirable behaviour.
With loads of blessings

“Respect” is the virtue of the learned, only the ignorant can defy it…
Respectfulness is often associated with wisdom and education, but individual behavior can vary widely regardless of one's level of knowledge or education. Our cultural heritage cites numerous instances of how people’s beliefs, attitudes, and values were deeply influenced by the respect one held for an individual and teachings. It often permeates the emergence of various religions, sects, and philosophical thoughts. Respect transcends personal interactions, extending to our relationship with the environment. It involves honouring nature with gratitude and recognizing the interconnectedness of life. In our rapidly changing world, practicing respect is increasingly essential. It means valuing diversity, promoting inclusivity, and creating connections across cultural boundaries.
Both elders and children should repsect each other. Identifying and dealing with the generation gap should be the joint responsibility of the elders and youngs as well. It is, however, felt that at times, respect needs to be earned. Kabirji points out that being big or powerful is meaningless if it doesn't benefit others, like a date tree that provides no shade and bears fruit that is hard to reach. It can be said that even a young one can inspire others through his/her virtues and deeds to earn respect from the community. Our society realizes that the best way to teach children respect is to model it. Active listening and empathy are keys in fostering and expressing respect. Respect is a Super Skills promoting Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).
The learned value respect because they understand its importance in human interaction and the functioning of society. They see respect as foundational to meaningful and constructive relationships. Conversely, ignorance can blind individuals to these values, leading them to act disrespectfully. The statement "Respect is the virtue of the learned, only the ignorant can defy it" means that educated and wise individuals naturally embody respect due to their understanding, empathy, and recognition of others' values. In contrast, ignorance often leads to a lack of understanding and intolerance, causing disrespectful behavior. Stay ignited, give respect, and earn respect.
Happy Reading!
