Do it now!

We often listen to this sentence, “Do it now!” and our response “‘later” basically means “never”.

Why do it now? Have you ever thought about it? Well, in my opinion, it is said only because everything has its particular time. You must do the thing which makes you happy but do it on time.

Live life to the fullest but remember not to waste time. You can change things which are under your power; even you can do better than others, but do it now. Don’t wait for the perfect moment as now is the perfect time.

Young World

This is with reference to the issue of Young World, published on January 14, 2017. The edition really made my day. It was filled with amazing stuff and I hope the YW team will keep up their good efforts in all the coming issues.

One of the things I liked about this particular issue was that there was quite a lot of material to read, with fewer ads. I would like to suggest that if “Magic in a minute”, “The weekly weird” or “Spotlight” could be skipped sometimes and “Cat tales” section be restarted, would bring a nice change. But overall the magazine is fabulous and I love it.

Wonder crafts

This is regarding the Wonder crafts’ “Go green with the terrarium” by Asif Ali (YW, February 4). It was such a wonderful craft that me and my sister just loved and immediately tried to make it. However, we could not find moss in our area so we made it without moss. It looked so wonderful that we have placed it in our bedroom.

Making a terrarium was a fabulous experience and I request the writer to provide more green (plants-related) crafts.

Bullying has to stop

This is with reference to the cover article “Bullying has to stop!” by Kashif Hafeez (YW, January 28). The article had nothing new to make me read it more.

We know that bullying has become a common practice and we should try to stop it if we notice there is something unusual happening around us.

Intelligent animals

This is regarding the cover story “Intelligent animals” by Muhammad Niaz (YW, January 21). The article amazed me because I didn’t know animals could be this intelligent. I also realised that animals have the superb ability to learn from their surroundings.

I am a new reader of YW and enjoy reading all the stuff in the magazine. Everything is superb, the quotes, jokes, poems and the interesting stories and now I eagerly wait for every Saturday to read the awesome YW.

Travelling through time

This is regarding the story “Travelling through time” by Saeed Husain (YW, January 14). The story was an interesting read but it could have been much better if the story had covered more events in the past, but still I appreciate the writer for the his efforts.
