Students were taught how to shed their negative thinking and go ahead with positive plans to make their life meaningful and subjective. They were told how to find out joy and satisfaction from the existing living condition without making hue and cry over the failures.

Teachers exhorted the participants they should not be swayed by their emotional approaches and advised them to create a harmonious environment around themselves. The classes held on each day from 6 PM to 8 PM at the HBTI and students seemed thrilled attending these classes of self-building.
