Knowledge is power

Knowledge brings power and success, not only through education and studies but also through our behaviour, understanding and the way we deal with others. But nowadays, knowledge does not always receive the importance it deserves.

In today’s advanced world, education is a necessity. Education helps us build a career, pursue our goals and create a better future. When a person has the understanding and knowledge of a topic, they can speak about it with confidence.

However, education is not limited to books and studies; it is also reflected in our manners and behaviour. The way we speak, the language we use and the way we carry ourselves can tell a lot about us.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to receive an education, so it is the responsibility of those who are educated to help others learn as well. By sharing their knowledge and educating others, they can give more people a chance to lead better lives and build a brighter future.

For my teacher, with love

This is regarding the Wonder Crafts feature “For my teacher, with love” by The Crafter (YW, September 26).

I loved this craft because the tiny books and classroom board looked so cute. I also agree that instead of buying a gift for someone, we can make something with our own hands and add a personal message to it.

What my students taught me

This refers to the cover article “What my students taught me” by Marvi Soomro (YW, October 3).

Teaching is often seen as a one-way process, with teachers sharing knowledge and students receiving it. Every student learns differently, and sometimes a teacher has to change their approach rather than expect the student to adjust. A good teacher creates an environment where no one feels ashamed of not knowing something.

Cook-it-yourself

This is regarding the recipe “Cook-it-yourself” by Muhammad Umar Shaheen (YW, October 31).

I usually avoid spinach, but this recipe made me want to give it another try! I enjoy trying simple recipes at home and the recipes in this section are really very easy to make and tasty.

I am going to try making these puffs during the weekend. Hopefully, they turn out as crispy as they look in the pictures!
