1. TRANSFORMING SELF : TRANSFORMING WORLD
The punchline of AFTERSCHO☺OL is Lets change the world. How do we start. The
first step is to change ourselves. We have to changeourselves, to be able to change the
world. The beginning has to come from our inner self. We have to start from our soul.
Our inner self has immense power, immense understanding and immense capability. This
will help us in transforming ourselves. This will help us achieving success beyond
imagination. We have to start by changing ourselves. We have to start the change process
from inner self.We have to do soul searching. Are we able to break the the chains of false
notions, prejudices and ideas that surround us. Are we able to start the process of self
inspiration. The path of success starts from inner self. Are we able to regulate our own
thinking? Are we able to give ourselves much needed vision and vitality? Are we able to
give ourselves intellectual stimulation necessary for self transformation. Are we able to
give ourselves stimulations necessary for self revenwal and self transformation.
Our upbringing has set certain constraints on our thinking and we fail to think beyond
those limits. We have been constrained to think linearly. We have been trained to believe
somethings. We have been oriented to reason in a particular manner.
You must have all heard of the story of the frog inside a well. The frog beieved that his
well was a huge well. When he encountered another frog from a sea, he was not
convinced about the statements made by the other frog. The other frog told him that he
had come from a huge water reservoir, which was not understandable for the first frog.
We are all like this first frog. We get habitual to our own preconceived notions and ideas
and fail to understand logics and reasoning beyond our set of ideas. This creates our
boundary. We fail to reach beyond this limit and fail to achieve transformations needed
beyond these chains.
At AFTERSCHO☺OL we train PGPSE participants to go beyond traditional thinking.
We train them to reason differently. We enable them to break all false notions and ego
that they have acquired. Degrees also create false ego and impropriety and therefore at
AFTERSCHO☺OL we break all myths about degrees. We believe in true knowledge,
expertise and commitment and remove any false notions about degrees. For us an
illiterate person is as much repectable as a Ph.D. (so long as both have similar innovative,
creative and intellectual capabilities). The way the digrees are distributed and sold in
Indian market, it is no longer education. It is no longer an institution, which helps in
social transformations. The persons with higher and higher qualifications are often cut off
from the harsh social realities. Due to some specific government requirements, these
people are able to get commanding positions, but who benefits from them remains
doubtful. The true innovator, social transformer and adventurer gets disillusioned in this
environment of mediocracy.
We want to promote an environment, a system, an order, where a person is valued for his
achievements, capabilities, creativity and innovations and leadership capabilities and not
for the degrees that he has acquired by fair or foul means. True knowledge should have

2. the capability of giving us power of social change. We believe in true knowledge and we
strive to acquire and disseminate this true knowledge.
Let us not treat life as a picnic, but has a journey with a purpose. Someone has rightly
said that it is not important how many breathes we take, but it is important as to how
many breathless moments do we live. Let us transform every moment into fruitful
moment.
