Education Quotes

यह एक माध्यमिक शिक्षक की सोच है - लेखक को एक पर्यवेक्षक के रूप में देखना।

That is a secondary teacher conception - the writer as an observer.

आपको वहाँ कोई सकारात्मक माहौल, शिक्षकों के बीच स्थिरता या नेतृत्व नजर नहीं आएगा। हमारी नीतियों में उन सबसे ज्यादा जरूरतमंद बच्चों को शिक्षित करने के अनुकूल माहौल तैयार करने पर पर्याप्त ध्यान नहीं दिया जाता। कोई भी राज्य ऐसा नहीं करता है।

You don't see a positive culture, stability among teachers, or leadership. We don't focus enough in our policies on creating conditions to educating kids with the greatest needs. There is no state that does that.

यह कई, कई सालों से एक संघर्षशील स्कूल रहा है, और इसमें कोई हैरानी की बात नहीं है क्योंकि यह शहर के सबसे पिछड़े बच्चों में से कुछ की सेवा कर रहा है। ऐसा सिर्फ यही स्कूल नहीं था, बल्कि यह भी उन्हीं में से एक था। इससे यह साबित होता है कि अच्छी, दृढ़ और स्थिर नेतृत्व जैसी चीजें कितना बड़ा फर्क पैदा करती हैं; स्कूल की संस्कृति को ऐसा बनाना जहाँ बच्चे खुद को सुरक्षित महसूस करें और वहाँ रहना चाहें; और शिक्षकों का साथ देना ताकि वे रुककर पूरी मेहनत से काम करना चाहें।

It's been a struggling school for many, many years, and [that's] not surprising since it's serving some of the most disadvantaged kids in the city. It wasn't the only one by any means, but it was among those. It shows that things like good, steady, stable leadership makes a huge difference; focusing on the culture of the schools as a place where kids feel supported and want to be; supporting the teachers, so they want to stay and work hard.

स्कूली पाठ्यपुस्तकों से अमेरिका की सच्ची धार्मिक विरासत से जुड़े किसी भी ज़िक्र को लगभग पूरी तरह से हटा दिया गया है।

School textbooks have almost completely excised any reference to America's true religious heritage.

मैं बहुत भाग्यशाली था कि मुझे एक अमीर संस्थान का साथ मिला। मैं अकादमिक दुनिया की कमियों और सीमाओं को अच्छी तरह समझता हूँ, लेकिन आखिरकार मैं इसी माहौल में पला-बढ़ा हूँ और किसी भी तरह से इस तथाकथित 'असली दुनिया' में जीवित नहीं रह पाता।

I was very fortunate to be at a wealthy institution. I do recognize the drawbacks and limitations of the academic world but it's basically the world I grew up in and there's no way in which I would have been able to survive in the so-called real world.

स्कूली दिनों में, मैं हफ्ते में लगभग चार दिन सुबह आठ बजे की प्रार्थना सभा (मास) में जाती थी।

In grammar school, I went to eight o'clock mass pretty much like four days a week.

स्कूल गरीबों के लिए नहीं बने हैं, वे सिर्फ अमीरों के लिए हैं।

School is not meant for the poor, only for the rich.

मैं अपनी किताब 'विलियम बरोज एंड द सीक्रेट ऑफ फैसिनेशन' की शुरुआत में यह किस्सा बड़े ही मजेदार अंदाज में सुनाता हूँ, लेकिन बरोज के साथ मेरा अकादमिक जुड़ाव पूरी तरह से ऑक्सफोर्ड में मेरे ट्यूटर पीटर कॉनराड की वजह से था। मैं उनके साथ आगे पढ़ाई जारी रखने के विचार पर चर्चा कर रहा था और जब मैंने बातचीत में बरोज का नाम लिया—तो उन्होंने उसे बड़े नाटकीय ढंग से फर्श पर गिरा दिया, और ऐसा नाटक करने लगे मानो किसी बुरी आत्मा को भगाने के लिए खुद पर क्रॉस का निशान बना रहे हों। चूँकि मैं वैसे भी अकादमिक करियर को लेकर काफी दुविधा में था, तो उस एक बात ने मेरे लिए सब कुछ तय कर दिया।

I tell this anecdote with tongue in cheek at the start of my book William Burroughs and the Secret of Fascination, but my academic involvement with Burroughs was entirely due to my tutor at Oxford, Peter Conrad. I was discussing with him the idea of staying on to do graduate work and when I tossed the name of Burroughs into the conversation - well, he let it fall loudly onto the floor, and proceeded to cross himself as if warding off an evil spirit. Since I was very ambivalent about an academic career in any case, that decided it for me.

मुझे इमारतों के नए रूप और आकार गढ़ना बहुत पसंद है; काश मैं ऐसा और ज्यादा कर पाती। मैं अपने साथियों के शोध की बहुत इज्जत करती हूँ, और कभी-कभी मुझे तब दुख होता है जब उनका इतना सुंदर काम—रूप और ज्यामिति की बारीकियों में गहराई से उतरकर किया गया शोध—धीरे-धीरे और अधिक सीमित दायरों में ही सिमट कर रह जाता है। काश वे और ज्यादा प्रभावशाली होते। यह कोई आधुनिक विचार नहीं है। सक्रिय रूप का मतलब यह नहीं कि सुंदर आकारों का अंत हो जाए। मैं चाहती हूँ कि मेरे छात्रों के पास ज्यामिति, आकार, माप और पैमाने से जुड़े वे तमाम हुनर तो हों ही, साथ ही दुनिया में ताकत के संतुलन को बदलने के लिए अंतरिक्ष का उपयोग करने की कला भी आए।

I love making object form; I wish I was doing more of it. I admire the research of my colleagues, and sometimes it makes me sad when their beautiful work - the deep dives into formal research and nuances of geometry and so on - ends up circling in more and more circumscribed contexts. I wish they were more powerful. It's not a modern proposition. Active form doesn't kill object form. I want my students to have all those skills related to geometry, shape, measure, scale, etc., plus skills for using space to manipulate power in the world.

अगर आपको लगता है कि आप अपने प्रशिक्षक या गुरु पर रोब झाड़ सकते हैं, तो आप कभी कुछ नहीं सीख पाएंगे।

If you boss you think you can your instructor around, you won't learn.

मेरा यह मानना है कि लोग वास्तव में सार्थक संगीत और गहरे शब्दों के लिए बहुत भूखे हैं, और मुझे लगता है कि लोग अब पीछे मुड़कर उन चीज़ों की सराहना करने के लिए तैयार हैं जो पहले आ चुकी हैं। और फिर एक ऐसा दौर भी आता है जिसे मैं सिर्फ नारीवादी (feminist) आंदोलन कहूँगी, क्योंकि मैं खुद एक नारीवादी हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि युवा लड़कियों और महिलाओं को इतिहास की जानकारी देने की शुरुआत हो चुकी है, और मुझे लगता है कि फैनी (Fanny) के बारे में जानकारी होना उसी का एक हिस्सा है।

I have this theory that people are actually really hungry for sonic space and understanding words, and I think that people are ready to look back and actually appreciate some of what came before. And then you really do have the entire movement that I'm just going to call feminist, because I am a feminist. I think the education of young girls and women about what came before has started and I think that the knowledge of Fanny is part of that.

अब, मुझे लगता है कि बहुत से लोग चारों ओर देखते हैं और महसूस करते हैं कि हम पुरुषों के लगभग बराबर हैं। वास्तव में, अब कॉलेज से स्नातक होने वालों में महिलाओं का बहुमत है, हमारे पास हिलेरी क्लिंटन जैसी आदर्श शख्सियतें हैं जिनसे हम प्रेरणा ले सकते हैं—ऐसा लगता है कि दुनिया हमारे लिए पूरी तरह खुली है और हम कुछ भी हासिल कर सकती हैं। मुझे लगता है कि आज नारीवादियों की अक्सर उपेक्षा की जाती है क्योंकि हमें ऐसे मुद्दों पर शिकायत करने वाला समझा जाता है जिनके बारे में लोगों को लगता है कि वे अब अस्तित्व में ही नहीं हैं। मुझे यह भी लगता है कि युवा महिलाएँ खुद को नारीवादी कहने से कतराती हैं क्योंकि उनमें से कई को इसके बारे में शिक्षित नहीं किया गया है या उनका इससे पाला नहीं पड़ा है। वे इसके बारे में इतना नहीं जानतीं कि खुद को इससे जोड़ सकें।

Now, I think a lot of people look around and feel that we're relatively equal with men. In fact, women are now the majority of college graduates, we have role models like Hillary Clinton to look up to - it seems like the world is completely open to us and we can accomplish anything. I think feminists are often disdained today because we're seen as complaining about a problem people think no longer exists. I also think young women shy away from calling themselves feminists because many haven't been educated about it or exposed to it. They don't know enough about it to identify with it.

मैं यूनेस्को के साथ 'थर्स्ट' नामक एक प्रोजेक्ट पर काम कर रही हूँ, जो पूरे चीन के बच्चों को शिक्षित करता है और इस तथ्य के प्रति जागरूकता फैलाता है कि चीन में 30 करोड़ लोगों के पास पानी की सुविधा नहीं है।

I'm working with UNESCO on a project called 'Thirst,' which educates children all over China and promotes awareness to the fact that 300 million people in China do not have access to water.

हाई स्कूल के बाद, मैं लॉस एंजिल्स जाने वाली थी और अभिनय के अपने सपनों को पूरा करने की कोशिश करने वाली थी। मेरे माता-पिता ने कहा, "ठीक है। हम तुम्हारा समर्थन करते हैं, लेकिन तुम्हें पढ़ाई भी करनी होगी," जो कि ठीक था क्योंकि वैसे भी मैं एक पढ़ाई-लिखाई में रुचि रखने वाली लड़की हूँ, मुझे यह पसंद है।

After high school, I was going to move out to L.A. and try to pursue my dreams of acting. My parents said, "Thats fine. We support you, but you have to go to school", which was fine because I'm a studious person anyway, I enjoy it.

यथार्थवादी चित्रकारों: अपनी जड़ता की पकड़ ढीली करें! अमूर्त चित्रकारों: अपनी छवियों को गढ़ने में अपनी पकड़ मजबूत करें! दोनों ही शैलियों के छात्रों को पहले से सीखी हुई बातों को भुलाना होगा।

Representational painters: loosen the grip of inflexibility! Abstract painters: tighten your hold on crafting your images! In both types of painting students need to unlearn what one has acquired.

मैंने स्कूल में दर्शनशास्त्र (फिलॉसफी) की पढ़ाई की थी, और इस बात से निराश हो गया था कि यह बहुत कम लोगों के साथ, बहुत कम विषयों पर, बहुत संकीर्ण शब्दों में एक बहुत ही दिलचस्प बातचीत करने का एक जरिया मात्र बनकर रह गया है; फिर भी मैं इस बात पर विश्वास करता था (और आज भी करता हूँ) कि जब मैंने दर्शनशास्त्र पढ़ने की इच्छा जताई थी, तो मैं किसी ऐसी चीज़ से जुड़ रहा था जिसमें गहरा अर्थ था।

I studied philosophy in school, became disgruntled by the fact that it was a way to have a very interesting conversation with very few people about very few things in very narrow terms and yet still believed (and still believe today) that there was something that I was getting myself involved in when I said I wanted to study philosophy.

मुझे लगता है कि सारा पालीन ने वास्तव में उस जनता को शिक्षित करने का मौका गंवा दिया कि उनका बेटा असल में किन चुनौतियों का सामना कर रहा है।

I think that Sarah Palin really missed the chance to educate the public on what some of the challenges her son is actually facing.

प्रतिभावान व्यक्ति खुद के भरोसे छोड़ दिए जाने के लिए पैदा नहीं होता, बल्कि वह कला और अच्छे गुरुओं को खुद को समर्पित करने के लिए होता है जो उसे कुछ बनाकर दिखाते हैं।

A man of talent is not born to be left to himself, but to devote himself to art and good masters who will make something of him.

जिस स्कूल में मैं पढ़ता था, वहाँ अगर आपके माता-पिता फॉर्म पर दस्तखत कर दें और आपकी ज़िम्मेदारी ले लें, तो आप बिल्कुल किसी लाइब्रेरी की किताब की तरह वहां से वाद्य यंत्र घर ले जा सकते थे। कुछ समय तक इस्तेमाल करने के बाद आप तय कर सकते थे कि क्या आप संगीत सीखना चाहते हैं या अपना खुद का सामान खरीदना चाहते हैं। या फिर आप उस वाद्य यंत्र को वापस करके दूसरा आज़मा सकते थे। गिटार मेरे हाथों में इसी तरह आया था।

At the school where I went you were able to check out instruments like you check out a library book, if your parents signed for you and vouched for you. Then after you had it for a little while you could decide if you were interested in taking lessons or you could also get your own gear. Or you could turn that instrument in for another one and try something else. So that's how I got my hands on the guitar.

कॉलेज में एक डांस मेजर के रूप में मुझे जो आज़ादी मिली, उसने मुझे बहुत कुछ दिया, लेकिन पढ़ाई की सच्चाई यह है कि आपको फिर भी कुछ पाबंदियों के दायरे में रहकर ही काम करना पड़ता है।

The freedom I experienced as a dance major in college gave me so much, but the reality of being in school is that you are still forced to work under restrictions.
