Don’t fall into the procrastination trap

This is regarding the article “Don’t fall into the procrastination trap” by Marium Ahmed (YW, June 28). As the writer beautifully captured, procrastination is the thief of time. Most of our tasks remain incomplete because of it.

We already know that success depends on our daily routine. Similarly, procrastination ruins that routine and becomes a barrier to our dreams.

The writer stated that the most common reason for procrastinating is thinking we have plenty of time — but unfortunately, time is limited. We should make the most of it by doing what needs to be done, instead of leaving it for later.

Good manners, great vibes

This is with reference to the article “Good manners, great vibes” by Marvi Soomro (YW, June 28). It was a lovely article, and the writer highlighted the importance of good manners in such a way that it inspires readers to adopt them in daily life.

The article also pointed out the lack of manners in our society, which many people don’t pay attention to. It’s sad that such an important part of character is often ignored. The article carried an inspiring message: practise good manners daily, even if no one is watching.

The word war

This is with reference to the story “The word war” by Missbah Chaki (YW, June 28).

To many, dictionaries may seem like outdated books, but I believe they should be revived and not forgotten. Even children like us should learn to use them regularly, as they help improve our vocabulary, spelling and understanding of language.
