Introduction:
Many of us strive to be our most productive and
fulfilled selves with the help of advanced knowledge and technology. But,
having advanced knowledge and technology is insufficient to be happy. Happiness
is the key to success and development. Education is the key to development.
Education and Development are two sides of the same coin. Many research
findings say that highly educated people are not more productive, but highly
happiest people are more effective, and their life span is also more. In
general, people follow their lifestyles to lead their lives. Ikigai, Hygge,
Lagom and Ubuntu are a few lifestyle concepts.
Learning is a continuous process. Research and Development (R&D) always go parallelly. The researchers have enormous knowledge in the field of Education, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Technology. The researchers have tried to develop a model of well-being, i.e., PREMATHO. The acronym of PREMATHO is Positive Emotions, Relations, Engagement, Mindfulness, Accomplishment, Truthfulness, Heartfulness, and Open Minded. Abraham Maslow (1962) was one of the first psychologists to describe ‘wellbeing’, his characteristics of a self-actualized person. Seligman (2012) developed a Well-Being Through (WBT) with five elements, i.e., PERMA (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishments). The PREMATHO: A Model of Well-Being is the advanced model of Seligman.
PREMATHO-A Model of Well-Being
Education is a key for all types of well-being, viz., Moral Well-Being, Spiritual Well-Being, Existential Well-Being, Psychological Well-Being, Developmental Well-Being, Economic Well-Being, Social Well-Being, Political Well-Being, Environmental Well-Being, Technological Well-Being, Physical Well-Being, Mental Well-Being, and so on. A happy mind can achieve anything. Happiness is the key to success.
The first sweetest world in
the world is Mother. Love is the most precious feeling in living beings. The most
adorable thing in the life of a human being is getting unconditional and
priceless ‘Mother’s Love’. It is possible to get anything from any person
through Love. PREMATHO (in the Telugu Language) means with love. The acronym of
PREMATHO is Positive Emotions, Relations, Engagement, Mindfulness,
Accomplishment, Truthfulness, Heartfulness, and Open Minded. These eights keys
are very important for well-being.
Positive Emotions
According to philosophy religion means a way of life.
Religion plays a vital role in the well-being of an individual. Hinduism, Islam,
Christianity, Buddhism and Jainism show a suitable path for a happy and healthy
life. It is always better to control our emotions. Experiencing emotions like
happiness, excitement, joy, hope and inspiration is vital for anyone who wants
to lead a happy and healthy life. Dr. Fredrickson identified the ten most
common positive emotions: Joy, Gratitude, Serenity, Interest, Hope, Pride,
Amusement, Inspiration, Awe, and Love. You can achieve anything by having
positive emotions. Positive emotions are very crucial for well-being.
Relations
Interpersonal relationship skill is one of the life
skills. It is good to keep in touch with good people. The expectation is
poison. It is not good to expect anything to maintain a good relationship. According
to Osho relationship is a kind of bondage. A real friend walks in when the rest
of the world walks out. Unconditional love, truth, respect and belief are
essential for a genuine relationship. Connect with good people, and is very
important for well-being.
Engagement
Everyone has a role in their personal and professional life. Research findings show that people who are engaged and able to utilize their strengths and resources feel happier than others. Engagement also helps build physical and mental well-being and self-esteem. Good engagement is key to well-being.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness means paying full attention to something. People who have mindfulness can concentrate fully. Seeing as it is without any illusion and allusion is the right attitude. Non-judgement, Patience, Love, Acceptance, and Awareness are very important for mindfulness. Yoga and meditation have a significant impact on mindfulness. Trust yourself for better accomplishment. Mindfulness is essential for well-being.
Accomplishment
Success boosts the strength of an individual and motivates to accomplish more. Continuous efforts, positive attitude, confidence, and happiness are very important for accomplishment. The productive rate of happiest people are more than other people. Success and happiness are two sides of the same coin. Accomplishment is very important for well-being.
Truthfulness
Truthfulness means the quality of being honest and not containing or telling any lies. Truthfulness is important not only for an individual development but also for social development. A trusted person always gets a reward and honour in the society. According to Mahatma Gandhi ‘Truth is God’. The 3 Transcendentals: Truth, God, and Beauty are essential for all individuals in the society for a happy and healthy life. Truthfulness always protects not only an individual but also his/her near and dear. Truthfulness is one of the keys to well-beings.
Heartfulness
Heartfulness
is an ideal and spiritual ways of life. Relaxation, Meditation, Cleaning, and
Inner Connect are four daily practices of heartfulness. Breathing exercises and
meditation helps a lot for heartfulness. Thinking through heart is the best
quality of a mindful and noble person. Love, Care, Concern, Mercy, and Kindness are the best qualities of a
heartful person. A heart always searches for a true love. Love is a medicine
for heartfulness. Research shows that there is a positive correlation between
mindfulness and heartfulness. Heartfulness is also one of the best keys to
well-beings.
Open-Minded
Open-Minded
is an adjective. Open-minded means willing to consider new ideas.
Open-mindedness is an important attribute for effective management of life and
profession. Open-minded people are always ready to welcome new ideas and try to
lead life innovatively and differently. The open-minded people keep away from
the stigmas. They are always ready to learn from others and ready to change
based on the situations in a progressive and ethical way. Open-minded people
can convert a problem into an opportunity. Open-Minded is very important for
well-being.
Conclusion:
Happiness is half strength. Happiness is a key to
success. Everyone in this world tries to lead a life happily. Happiness is half
strength. The Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and so
on showed a right path for a happy and healthy life. The Mahabharata, Ramayana,
Vedas and Puranas have mentioned a lot of innovative approaches of well-being.
We will get everything through education. Philosophical Foundations of
Education, Psychological Foundations of Education, Sociological Foundations of
Education, and Technological Foundations of Education have a positive and
significant impact on the all-round development of an individual. The PREMATHO-
A Model of Well-Being is very useful for a happy and healthy life. It shows a
simple, easy and approachable approaches for well-being.

Abstract:
Education
is a key to development. Education and Development are two sides of the same
coin. According to UNESCO, the four pillars of education are Learning to Be,
Learning to Know, Learning to Do and Learning to Live Together. The four main
foundations of education are Philosophical Foundations of Education,
Psychological Foundations of Education, Sociological Foundations of Education,
and Technological Foundations of Education (Dr. N.A. Reddy & Dr. S. Gogoi,
2019). Attitude is everything. Readiness is critical to any activity.
We
must motivate ourselves to do any activity easily and quickly. It becomes easy
to accomplish whenever you like any action/thing/task. Happiness plays a
significant role in accomplishment. If you want anything, again and again, it
leads to love. According to philosophy love means care in action. It becomes
easy to accomplish whenever you love any activity/task/action. For successful
accomplishments, you need continuous learning. We can say it learn, relearn and
unlearn. At the same time, we must leave unwanted things and unnecessary
things. To live happily, we need to cross these four levels, i.e., Like, Love,
Learn and Leave. The researchers have developed the 5 L’s Model of Education
for a happy and healthy life by keeping all the above in mind. The 5 Ls are
Like, Love, Learn, Leave, and Live. In the present paper, the researchers have
attempted to develop a model of education for a happy and healthy life, i.e., the
5 Ls Model of Education.
Keywords: Like, Love, Learn, Leave, Live, Happy and
Healthy Life.
Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic showed a new path for learning
continuously. Education is a key to development. If you give wealth to anyone,
there may be a chance to lose it at any time. If you provide education to anyone,
no one can take away from it from them. That is why everyone in this world
tries to become educated. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays
a significant role in providing education for all. At the same time, an
individual readiness, attitude, intelligence, heredity, environment, friends,
family and so on play a significant role in life. In this world, everyone tries
to lead a life happily forever. Education and Development are two sides of the
same coin. The Government, Non-governmental organisations and parents, are
always trying their best to provide quality education. There are a good number
of models of teaching/education.
The researchers have enormous knowledge
in the field of Education, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Technology.
The researchers have tried to develop a model, i.e., the 5 Ls Model of
Education. The five Ls are Like, Love, Learn, Leave, and Live. These five Ls
are very important for a happy and healthy life. According to Lord Buddha
thoughtless mind is essential for a peaceful and happy life. This model
explains a way to a happy and healthy life through the 5 Ls.
5 Ls Model of Education:
Education is essential for each and everyone in the present society. In many schools and colleges, the student dropout rate is high, varying from time to time and place to place, including the type of institution. The main aim of education is self-realization/self-actualization. Self-care, self-interest, self-motivation, self-training, self-development, self-planning, and self-evaluation play a crucial role in individual and social development. There are many ways/approaches to providing education. Providing quality education is very important in society. The lifestyles and needs of an individual and community change quickly from time to time. People expect a lot from educational institutions and research institutions. The researchers have invented an innovative idea, i.e., the 5 Ls (Like, Love, Learn, Leave and Live) Model of Education to provide education for all.
1. LIKE
The
first stage or step to providing education is ‘Like’. Like (it is a verb) means
‘to feel attraction toward or take pleasure in; to enjoy doing something, or to
feel that some or something is pleasant to attractive. It is an individual duty
to like education firstly to get an education. Life is the first step to
accomplishment in life. Whenever you want to do something, it becomes easy to
do any activity related to that person or thing if you like it/him/her/activity.
That is why before giving something to someone or asking to do some activity,
people always ask, ‘do you like it?’ If the answer is ‘yes’, it becomes accessible/easy
to accomplish. If you like something or someone, the difficulties, problems, or
burden of a person or thing will become half. So, try to pick whatever you want
to accomplish. You can enjoy a person/thing/place/activity with a like mind.
2. LOVE
The
second stage or step to providing education is ‘Love’. According to Osho, “Love
is like breathing: when it happens, you love. It does not matter who comes close
to you, the sinner or the saint. Whosoever comes close to you starts feeling
the vibe of love rejoices. Love is unconditional giving – but only those
capable of giving who have”. According to Philosophy, Love means care in
action. Mahabharata depicts the desire to love and be loved as the basic
instinct of almost all major characters. This love includes all three
dimensions of sexual, emotional and spiritual gratification. PREMA (in the
Telugu language) means love. The acronym of PREMA is Positive Emotions,
Relations, Engagement, Mindfulness, and Accomplishment. The accomplishment
itself is an integral part of love. There is one saying in the Telugu language,
‘PREMA ichina PREMA vachunu’ in English, ‘If you give love, you will get love’.
There is no alternative way to get love; love is the only way. Love is
essential to provide education. Whenever you love someone or something, he/she/it
never becomes a difficult or a burden.
3. LEARN
The third stage or step to providing education is Lear/Learning.
Learning is a continuous process. Lifelong learning is essential for a happy
and healthy life. If you get wealth, there may be a chance to lose it at any time
or place. Education is robust, and no one can take it away from you. Learning occurs
in three ways: Formal Learning, Non-formal Learning and In-formal Learning. You
can learn from anyone, anyplace and anything (Ubiquitous Learning). An
individual can know in many ways: Social Learning, Project-based Learning,
Online Learning, e-Learning, Digital Learning, Personalized Learning, Hybrid
Learning, Blended Learning, Flipped Learning, Problem-based Learning,
Place-based Learning, and so on. There are different kinds of models of learning.
There are a good number of innovative approaches to learning. There are four
main foundations of learning: Philosophical Foundations of Learning,
Psychological Foundations of Learning, Sociological Foundations of Learning,
and Technological Foundations of Learning. According to UNESCO, the four
pillars of education are Learning to Be, Learning to Know, Learning to Do, and
Learning to Live Together.
4. LEAVE
The
fourth stage or step to providing education is Leave. It is always good to
leave the negative things. According to Lord Buddha, running away from negative
people or places is always good. Many people waste their valuable time by
concentrating on unnecessary and unwanted things. It is always better to make a
plan before going to do anything. It is good to keep away from negative
thoughts. Attitude is everything. Try to leave negative thoughts or ideas in
your mind. Try to think innovatively. The thousand miles journey starts with
the first step. Going negative thoughts is the first step to accomplishing
anything in life. Leaving negative thoughts is half-success. Maximum people are
worried because of unnecessary and unwanted thoughts only. Positive psychology
has a pivotal role in success. No need to change by yourself; try to change the
way of your think only.
5. LIVE
The final and fifth stage or step to providing
education is Live. Many people are not aware of the art of living. Our
ancestors showed many good paths for happy and healthy living. Yoga means to
yoke, to join, to unite. Chitta vritti nirodha refers to calming the mind
through the meditative techniques of Patanjali Yoga. The Mahabharata, Ramayana,
Vedas and Puranas show the right path of living. Living as Learning is a passionate and
rewarding dialogue on the legacy of the great American philosophy and educator John
Dewey (1859-1952).
Conclusion:
Everyone in this world tries to lead a life happily.
Happiness is half strength. We will get everything through education. Getting a
free education is the right of a child. We must provide a quality education for
all. The 5 Ls (Like, Love, Learn, Leave and Live) Model of Education is beneficial
for an individual to provide education for themself. The researchers have a
strong feeling and confidence in the model that it will undoubtedly impact the
lifestyles of individuals. Everything is in your hand only. The first step of
the journey is crucial. Live and love your profession. Try to learn
continuously and leave negative thoughts. Be aware of the art of living and try
to live happily forever. Please remember ‘Education is Everything’. We wish you
a bright future through education.
