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.

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To many, dictionaries may seem like outdated books, but I believe they should be revived and not forgotten.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.
