Essay | Physical Culture
The ancient Greeks, who planned their life on a scientific basis, provided training for the gymnasium. They found that a healthy mind can only grow in a healthy body. A weak constitution means a tired, frustrated Plato who keeps the body beautiful, which is another name for physical harmony - a harmonic mind index and an expression. So build your body if you want to build your mind - it was their slogan.
It is good that we are gradually implementing this in our country, and we look at the need for a gym in each of our schools. There is too much to say that we have come to the gym. But the first steps have been taken: schools and schools have been given limited facilities for physical culture, and the teacher for this is a mandatory prerequisite for official recognition. The University is also interested in physical activity. It checks the yearly, roughly, the health of their students' development or deterioration. It also encourages athletics and sports and has several organizations. But there is still a lot to be done.
The first thing is to force an unused fashionable student group to change their habits. Their way of sitting down in a group somewhere and spending time with useless gossip or movies should be ruthlessly destroyed - even punishable by law when needed. They should be forced out to the playgrounds and their gymnasts and make a sweat as men in the labor force and thus make themselves useful members of society instead of being parasites.
Then there is another class - equally despicable and dangerous to society. It is a class of bookshelves. Nothing is so annoying that he sees a book - short-sighted, thin-skinned and attractively written books to get rewards and differences for examination. These books should know that the actual exam comes after they leave the university and that learning books is not very useful for them. Good health, good body structure, body fitness with hard and long work are essential to overcome success.
Another enemy of physical culture is a film. Really a crowd of idle young men and women who often in our cinemas every night when they should be open, make a tragic appearance. If you want to see a football match, it's not so bad that you have to use your lungs at least and be out there, and that's something. However, authorities must close all cinemas between five and seven in the evening or ban the youngsters.
Physical culture means bodybuilding, the harmonious development of all parts of the body. Some have taken the physical culture just to acquire strong muscles and extra physical strength. In this endeavor, many people ruin their health by putting too much strain on a certain part of the body. The body is a harmonious structure. It can not be any real culture that develops part of the body at the expense of others. Most of us want to be something better than a mere show in circuses. Regular training of a qualified teacher is everything else that is necessary, and by monitoring we can do our praise what it is supposed to be - the temple of the soul.
It is a good idea if the university carries out a health check on part of its annual studies. Unless a student passes any kind of health, he should not be allowed out if he is ever so good on purely academic side. At least his pass certificate must be withheld until he passes a physical test within six months. The opposite rejection of this may be that the lack of nutrition is shifting to poverty. The state should consider this and support the nutritious price for free. All investment in national health is the only viable investment.
But bigger inspirations come from these sports days inside or outside the country these days. Olympics or Asian games have sparked governments on apathy. In India, the parties involved in the control of sport and games are gradually under state control. It is expected that this will help maintain a reasonable standard and promote the physical fitness of people.
