Joyous life

Life is not a bed of roses, do not take it easy. Life is hard when you are inconsistent, dishonest and an apathetic person. In order to create a joyous life, we must keep in mind that life is given once; do not waste it thinking about what people may think of you. Live life the way you want to live, do not compare yourself with anyone else because you are unique.

You must discover your inner self, listen to your inner genius and live your passion. Always stand by yourself, no matter if anyone believes in you or not.

Choose the profession of your choice and work honestly.

Always be optimistic and have a crystal clear mindset. You must do things with enthusiasm and commitment.

In order to create a beautiful life, you are not meant to do extraordinary things, but to do small things in extraordinary ways.

Every single day we are getting close to our death beds so why not do something fabulous before we leave this universe?

Social media

In the world of modern technology, no one has the time to listen to each other, even our family. But the irony is that we have enough time to remain updated about others’ opinions and feelings on social media.

People share their feelings, their leisure time activities, and like or comment on it. In making connections with the whole world, we have forgotten ourselves and our near and dear ones.

Staying connected with the whole world through social media is not bad, but our family also needs our time.

While finding happiness on social media, find some time for yourself and your family.

There is a friend in your teacher

This is with reference to the article “There is a friend in you teacher” by Mohammad Omar Iftikhar (YW, September 8). The writer mentioned some valuable points to develop and maintain a friendly relationship between a student and a teacher.

I totally agree with the viewpoint of the writer that student-teacher relationship is a useful strategy in order to secure high grades for a student. This will increase students’ self-confidence and he or she will not feel any hesitation in public speaking. Such articles are useful for students in their studies.

A happy life

Life is full of tragedies. To overcome this, try to live happily and be content with what you have. Enjoy the company of your friends and nature. That can make us feel a whole lot happier.
