The world is beautiful

The world in which we live is beautiful. We are surrounded by people who love us, care about us and tell us what’s good and bad. We cannot imagine our lives without them.

Just think how much blessed we are! We celebrate our happiness together and help each other to get rid of misery. Our family and friends always bring a smile on our faces. We should thank each other for this kindness. We should love each other wholeheartedly. I am thankful to God for all the blessings in this world.

Power of positivity

Many times we lose our self-confidence, get depressed and don’t find any way to achieve success. But the good thing is that our actions are controlled by our thoughts, so by changing our negative thoughts with positive ones, we can make ourselves full of confidence, depression-free and surely have a successful future.

Vacations with a difference

This is regarding the article “Vacations with a difference” by Yasmin Elahi (YW, July 7). It was an inspiring article regarding how to spend our summer vacation.

Children usually spend their time playing games or watching television. Let’s make vacations more exciting by doing the things suggested, such as giving our parents a little bit relaxation, especially our mothers who work nonstop for us.

Whenever we are free, we should help her in the kitchen, make her a cup of tea or give her some more time to sleep. I advise all the readers not to waste their precious time on games and spend this time with your loved ones. I am sure these will be the best experience you’ll ever have.

This is regarding to the story “Vacation with a difference” by Yasmin Elahi (YW, July 7). The article was very beneficial.

I liked the writer’s style, which was simple and beautiful. She taught us about improving skills in summer vacation by doing meaningful things, instead of wasting time. Plus, she advised not to vex parents for little things but be responsible and be the helping hands of parents. This will help make holidays and vacations more productive.

Your mind is a magnet

If you always think of blessings, you attract more blessings. If you think of problems, you attract more problems. Always keep good thoughts in mind and stay positive.
