Every drop counts

This is regarding the article “Every drop counts!” by Muhammad Ibrahim Shafi (YW, April 29). The writer has drawn attention to the crucial topic of water scarcity, urging readers to recognise its significance before it’s too late.

Although water is the ultimate source of life, human activities are reducing and soon there may be a shortage of drinking water on earth. Therefore, it is important that we play our part in reducing tap timings and fixing leaks to save water. We still have time to prevent the terrifying consequences of water scarcity.

Achieving the impossible

This is regarding the article “Achieving the impossible” by Muhammad Ibrahim Shafi (YW, May 6). The story was quite unique and the writer elaborated on how one can turn the impossible into the possible.

Certainly, nothing is impossible in this world, we often make them impossible for us with our wrong ways and sometime over-thinking. So, whatever comes in our way, we must never stop our journey and keep moving forward.

The story “Achieving the impossible” by Muhammad Ibrahim Shafi was truly captivating, particularly the way the writer depicted the scene and the intense emotions of the boys that ultimately led them to a terrible accident.

We need to understand that life can be unpredictable; we must stay optimistic and hold on to our courage.

By consistently striving towards our goals, we can surmount these difficulties and reach our objectives. It may not be a simple journey, but with persistence and a constructive mindset, we can overcome any obstacle that comes in our way.
