Get to know about Education First

How smart are you

Mark Twain once described a man who died and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.Knowing that Saint Peter was very wise, the man asked a question that he had wondered about throughout his life. He said, "Saint Peter, I have been interested in military history for many years. Who was the greatest general of all time?" Saint Peter quickly responded,"Oh that is a simple question. It is that man right over there."
"You must be mistaken," responded the man, now very perplexed. "I knew that man on earth,and he was just a common laborer." "That is right my friend," assured Saint Peter. "He would have been the greatest general of all time, if he had been a general." This story gives out a truth that is, unfortunately, all too common. Failure, disillusionment,frustration-and the like-are closely tied with having to do what you don't love. The moment your work is aligned to your natural abilities, your life starts working !!! At the core of this ideology is the following definition of education by Leo Buscaglia that we at Education First live by: 'The essence of education is to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it and then to show you how to give it away.' For students-or anyone, for that matter-identifying their uniqueness is not an easy task. And this is where we step in !!!

Our Vision & Mission

Subscribing fully to the following quote by Abraham Maslow, we envision a world where human beings are what they could be !!!
'A musician must make music
An Artist must paint
A poet must write
If he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
Human beings must be what they can be.'

And in keeping with this vision, our mission is to help students discover their uniqueness using cutting-edge aptitude testing tools.

Rajesh Madhyani

An IIM Ahmedabad MDP alumnus and certified NLP practitioner (Singapore), Rajesh Madhyani is fondly passionate about the all-changing life philosophy of doing what one loves to do. His mission is to spread the truth among today's youth that finding one's uniqueness is going to be the foundation of a well-lived and meaningful life-a life of service not only to one's own self,but also, simultaneously, to the society and the world at large. Influenced by the Theory Of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, he has designed the MapMyIntelligences program which seeks to uncover a profile of intelligences to help make today's youth come face to face with their uniqueness. His thoughts on education have been greatly shaped by a quote by the late Leo Buscaglia that the essence of education is to help one discover their uniqueness, to teach them how to develop it and to show them how to give it away. A life long learner, he is currently pursuing a Master's program on Corruption & Governance from the University Of Sussex, United Kingdom.
