Ways to attain success

This is with reference to the cover story “Ways to attain success” by Bakhtawar Saleem Shahani, (YW, December 11).

The word ‘success’ is full of motivation, it gives us the courage to never stop and keep struggling in life. God has created all of us with lots of skills and talents, it depends on us how we bring them out and use them.

We all just need to overcome our weaknesses. Even if we fail, we must not get discouraged because failures make us understand our weaknesses and how we can overcome them.

Friends brighten our lives

This is regarding the article, “Friends brighten our lives” by Zayna Rahman (YW, December, 18). I have no words to express my feelings for the beautiful people in our life called friends. I believe having a true friend is a blessing and very few people get this blessing in life. Best friends play a great role in our lives; without them life is colourless. They make us happy and stand with us even when we are feeling down. They try to bring joy, laughter and fun in our lives. So if you have friends, cherish the relationship and always stand with each other.

Do not bargain

This is regarding the article “Do not bargain” by Ali Aaliyan Rizvi (YW, December 18). The writer depicted the true nature of most of us. We spend thousands of rupees in buying branded stuff but when it comes to buying something from the street venders or people selling something on the cart, we start bargaining. We even bargain on Rs10. A rupee 10 note may not be a big amount for us but it counts a lot to the poor sellers. I appreciate the views of the writer and urge our young generation to buy the small stuff these people are selling; respect them at least they are not begging, they are selling stuff so we should encourage them by buying anything from them. Remember kids, this is a respectable way of earning so we all must show humanity.
