A happiness that lasts forever

This is with reference to the article “A happiness that lasts forever,” by Nimra Azhar (YW, December 12). The article provided an insight into the real meaning of life and how to achieve true happiness.

The world is full of good and bad people, who hardly think about other peoples’ happiness. Such people are more concerned with their own life, money, power and status. However, real happiness comes from being caring and helping towards each other, and giving preference to other peoples’ desires than your own.

A road trip in the pandemic

This is regarding the article “A road trip in the pandemic” by Ahmad Noorani (YW, December, 12). The writer beautifully described his road trip during Covid-19 pandemic with his family and how he enjoyed seeing wonderful places.

I agree with the writer’s suggestion that every family should take a trip at least once and see the beauty of our beautiful country.

Dare to strive

This is with the reference to the article “Dare to strive” by Ayema Rasool (YW, December 5). The writer beautifully expressed her views on the problems and challenges youngsters face and how they overcome it.

Teenage is the most exciting, challenging and dramatic phase in one’s life, in which teenagers struggle with image identity, self-confidence and tonnes of emotional issues. But it is this time that makes one strong, capable to achieve their dreams and become successful in their lives.

It is my suggestion to all the kids and teens out there to be positive and daring, don’t get scared of the challenges that suddenly come in your life. If you remain steadfast today, there will be no hurdles in your life ahead.

The world is my canvas

This is regarding the cover story “The world is my canvas” by Benazir Raz (YW, December 12). It was an incredible piece of writing. I have a keen interest in all kinds of art forms, so this write up really made my day.

I wait eagerly for each Saturday to read my favourite magazine, Young World which is full of wonderful stories, articles and amazing news. I admire and encourage all the writers who contribute in this magazine to keep writing and provide their readers with amazing stuff like always.
