Chetan Bhagat in Bokaro, Emphasizes on Motivation

Courtsey; Arun Pathak
‘सद्प्रेरणा (मोटिवेशन) ही वह आधार है, जिसकी बदौलत बच्चों का भविष्य बनता है। प्रेरणा मिलने पर ही बच्चे पढ़ाई के प्रति जागरूक होते हुए सफलता प्राप्त करते हैं। परंतु सफलता के लिये भावनात्मक लगाव के साथ पूरी तैयारी और सभी की सहयोग बेहद जरूरी है। बच्चे किसी भी कीमत पर आत्मविश्वास न खोयें। यह आत्मविश्वास ही था जिसके दम पर अरविन्द केजरीवाल ने दिल्ली चुनाव में शीला दीक्षित को उनके विरुध्द खड़ा होकर परास्त किया।’ उक्त बातें जाने-माने उपन्यासकार, फिल्म पटकथा लेखक और स्तम्भकार चेतन भगत ने कही। श्री भगत यहां बोकारो क्लब में आयोजित सेमिनार को संबोधित कर रहे थे। उन्होंने जीवन में बच्चों को एक मिशन लेकर चलने तथा उसकी प्राप्ति के लिये आत्मविश्वास व दृढ़ इच्छाशक्ति के साथ अग्रसर होने की प्रेरणा दी। उन्होंने कहा कि जीवन में डटकर चुनौतियों का मुकाबला करें। असफल होने पर हतोत्साहित होने के बजाय दुगुनी इच्छा शक्ति के साथ मेहनत करनी चाहिये। अपने अनुभव बांटते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि यह उनकी इच्छाशक्ति ही थी कि वह एक उपन्यासकार से फिल्म पटकथा लेखक और फिर स्तम्भकार बने। उन्होंने अभिभावकों को अपने बच्चों पर झल्लाये बिना उनका समुचित मार्गदर्शन करने की भी जरूरत बतायी। उल्लेखनीय है कि चेतन भगत का नया मजेदार हास्य कथासंग्रह ‘लैटेस्ट बेबी’ अगले साल तक विमोचित हो जायेगा। वह ’3 इडियट्स’, ‘काइ पो चे’ एवं ‘वाट हेलो’ फिल्मों की पटकथा (स्क्रिप्ट) लिख चुके हैं।
