Short Essay on the Value of Time

Value chain of our life time activities can have the Value proposition as self brand of creating opportunity for ourselves. There goes a proverb- "Time and tide wait for no man."

Time once gone is gone for ever". This sentence has encapsulated the true  value of time. Time gives only one chance and one has to put all effort and intelligence to make it best usable.

Time is really a wonderful thing. It can be defined satisfactorily as- It has no beginning and no ending. All things are born in time, grow in time and then decay and die in time. Time moves at its own pace. It cannot be commanded. It does not wait for kings or princess and has no pity for beggars. .It cannot be analyzed. It can not be criticised.

We are generally conscious about passing time and its importance. We have developed clocks and watches to indicate its flow. We have invented dates, days and years to indicate and measure it in our own way, but mind me,  it is really indivisible and immeasurable.

People say time is money. But I am saying that it is more precious than money. Money lost can be recovered, but not the time lost. A moment lost is lost for ever. Time is ever changing. Change is the law of nature. Nothing is independent of change or time. Man’s life is very short but the work is much large and difficult. There are so much to do in one's life. Therefore, we should not waste even a single minute. Every breath, every second should be used properly and meaningfully.

Our school work, home task, hours of rest and sleep, time of recreation and exercise, etc. should be well planned and organized.

We should never postpone doing good and important things. We should never be idle when we ought to be working hard. Leisure is enjoyable only after fruitful hard work. It is our duty to not to leave any work till tomorrow that can be done today and now.

We should not waste time. Actually, nobody can waste time. It is we who are being wasted by time. Economy and value of time is very much important. Great men and women use their every moments most profitably and economically. It is through this method that they have invented great things, discovered wonderful things and left their footprints on the sands of time.

Even our spare time should be wisely used. It   should be utilized in pursuit of healthy and meaningful hobbies and ecstasy. We may study books, learn music, play with children, grow a garden, learn to do something new and useful in our leisure.

In many bigger competition we have noticed that time management is given due importance to score at the top level. Time management is the effect of the value of time. It is the time which value each rise and fall of the economy, sociability, humanity, poverty and divinity. The Almighty God has also provided a limited time for our life. He has set sun, moon, earth etc to perform its duty in time. Time has been also set for complete devastation ( according to Quran Qayamat) of whole universe. Time will also watch the time after complete devastation. This time is only known to God.

Essay on The Possibility of Third World War

Man craves for peace during war but he is haunted by the fear of war during peace time. As a result of it during peace time he starts preparing for war, piles up weapons, enters into treaties with the super powers and increases defence expenditure. All this leads to cold war. After the Second World War, the two super powers-Russia and America started fearing each other and this fear was increased by their ideoloircal differences and differences in their political set up. So since the end of the Second World War fear of the Third World War has been haunting mankind.

There have been many serious political problems which might have easily lead to Third World War. The earliest of them have been the Cuban crises and Korean war. The Vietnam war. Iran dispute, Arab Israel confrontation, Kashmir problem and even Russian occupation of Afghanistan would have flared up into world war. All of these were serious threats to world peace. But the fear of the disaster which may result due to world war kept the nations under check.

It appears there is a little chance of World War III because with the coming of Gorbachev in power efforts have been made to defuse the world situation; the Iraq Iran war has been brought to an end; the P.L.O. has declared Palestanian state without claiming Israeli land. Similarly the confrontation between Russia and China is coming to an end. Russia has withdrawn her forces from Afghanistan. In Pakistan also democratic government has been formed.

So there is a great possibility that they may try to resolve out-standing problems through negotiations with India. In this manner the atmosphere is not so much charged with tension as it was in the earlier years. Still we cannot say at this moment that peace is going to last for a long time. Most of the world problems have not been buried deep rather they threaten to become the cause of the third world war.

The consequences of the Third World War are extremely horrible to imagine. Some of the scientists have pointed out that the use of bombs like Megaton bomb and Cobalt bomb would consume whole of the oxygen of the atmosphere and living creatures would not be able to breathe and live. Some others say that the heat produced by the explosion of the bomb would melt snow on the mountains and consequently the world would be flooded.

Some others think that after war even if there is some life it would be meaningless and extremely primitive though some think that the nuclear winter will freeze every thing on earth. If the Third World War is fought with the weapons which the super powers possess at this time there would be total destruction. What will be the fate of the earth and the universe if the Star War programme continues.

Super powers go on increasing their striking power. Once Einstein was asked how third world war would be fought he gave a pertinent reply that he did not know about the third world war but if Fourth World War was fought it would be fought with the help of stones. He meant to say that human beings would reel back to the primitive ages. In fact during the Third World War there will be no victor and no vanquished.

It is only the horrible consequences of the Third World War that make the super powers to think of avoiding war. President Nixon during his term as President of America wanted to make use of the Nuclear Bomb in Vietnam and also during Indo-Pak war but he desisted from this act of foolishness perhaps only because of the fear of the destruction of the world.

Russel in one of his essays pointed out that if there was going to be a world war it should be as early as it was possible otherwise it would be so destructive that there would be no historian to record. The possibility of the Third World War at this time seem to be remote.

The consequences are so horrible that one could never think of war. Former president of Pakistan Ishaq Khan once said -we are standing on a precipice and a single wrong step will bring total destruction".

Essay on Should Women Receive Military Training

Every one knows that women are equal to men in strength and intelligence. It follows, therefore, that women can get training for any profession which men can select. Women are found fit for any kind of work. Thus women work in mills, factories and mines. They become fitters, engineers,. air-hostesses and pilots. They also join the ranks of home-guards and police force. In both these vocations women have to work hard
and have to risk their lives. Military training is one step further and women should take such training.
Modern wars require millions of soldiers.

Hence if women take military training, enough soldiers will be available and there will be no need of conscription. Even if we do not send women on the battlefield we can keep them to guard the frontiers of our country in times of war. When women take up this responsibility, more male soldiers can be sent on the battlefront. Thus women soldiers will be extremely useful to the country in times of emergency.

Some persons say that the fair sex is timid by nature, and that even if women take military training, they will miserably fail on the battlefield. But history furnishes many examples for the valour of women warriors, Razia, Chand Bibi, Joan of Arc, Tarabai Rani of Jhansi have become immortal for their fiery zeal and valour on the battle-field. In the last world war Russian women took an active part and saved their country from the German invasion. Only recently women of Azad Kashmir rendered meritorious services to their motherland by joining armed forces.

Even from the point of civil life, women should take military training. After receiving military training, women will be equal to men in all respects. Hence there will be no inferiority complex in women. Again military training will make women fearless and brave.

In times of riots, air attacks etc., such women will behave in an orderly manner and will stop chaos. Moreover the children of women who have received military training will be brave and disciplined.
There are some who disfavour military training of women. Women can take military training no doubt, but they cannot take part in strenuous and risky military operations.

They also argue that women have to manage their homes and have to look after their children. They cannot ignore these important duties and go to the battle-front. This argument is proper no doubt, but it does not apply to unmarried women, who can safely join the army. Some say that military training will change the temper of Worden and they will become unfit as wives and mothers.

Circumstances are fast changing. Future wars will be more disastrous than the past wars. Therefore women will have to shoulder some of the responsibilities of men in time of war. Obviously then women should take military training.

Little Things In Life Essay

Essay On Little Things Are Great To Little Men.

It is a fact that "the great would not think themselves demigods if the little did not worship them." Greatness is gained by comparison and when analysed it comes to a greater range and extent than when looked at by itself. Greatness is a relative term. Very few are great because of originality. Distinction very often comes through contrast. A man of ordinary stature would be a distinguished figure in the land of pigmies.

A man getting a salary of Rs. 10.000 a month would be considered a rich man among the labourers who live from hand to mouth. A village school master who has only got though his Matriculation would be looked upon as a prodigy of learning by the simple minded rustics.

So the value of greatness depends on our sense of proportion. Little men have a narrow outlook on life. Their ideas are derived from their immediate surroundings and they have not the power of visualisation. They cannot look far ahead, nor have they the faculty of observing things in their right perspective. The result is that their judgment is incorrect and they are not able to discriminate between the great things and little things.

Great things would fill their minds with superstitious awe, while the little things would loom large in their eyes. There are so many little men's great men in this world, who possess no inherent worth, but who pose themselves as great before the little men. The servant to a Deputy Commissioner is a great men in the eyes_of the villagers. A pocket gramophone or a travelling cinema would be a wonder of the world to them. This is all due to their narrow and distorted vision.

But this narrow outlook of little men has an advantage also. They have very few ambitions and those too are easily fulfilled. Their desires do not extend to unattainable or valuable things. They are satisfied with little things and lead a contented life. Moreover. the pleasure they desire from little things is greater than what the great men get from great things, because they can never reach the goal of their ambitions. They aim at the moon and only hit at the mountain.

Generally, greatness, is an illusion. The minute a great man is taken out of the atmosphere he is living in or the position he is occupying, he becomes shorn of his greatness. -When greatness descends from its lofty pedestal, it assumes human dimensions."

Essay On The Modern Society

Essay On The Modern Society .Cultural identity is not a problem fbr the general public but for the educated, whose upbringing has often included virtually inevitable elements of cultural alienation. The elite must return to their culture to understand it more effectively, and experience it as a living reality in order to find their roots in it. Seen from this angle, cultttral identity should be asserted primarily in the schools and universities.

An elite, often educated in other schools and sometimes unsure of its identity. must be helped into awareness of its own heritage, and its eyes opened to the fact that popular culture is not merely folklore.The question of each group of nation's cultural identity. which is at the meeting-point of culture and communication, shows the importance of language both as a vehicle of communication and as part of the cultural heritage.

Linguistic richness imposes not only a respect for the many languages existing but also a complex and costly adaptation of the communication network to the different linguistic areas, as well as the use of many language by the communication media in order to avoid standardisation. Language policy. therefore. constitutes one of the thorniest and most important issues in the formulation of communication policies.

Culture. which was not something separate from consciousness of the community's identity. was probably regarded first and foremost as a factor making for a stronger sense of national individuality: but the quest for cultural identity was, in all cases combined with sympathetic receptivity to the other cultures of the region and of the world, and. ultimately, to all that is universally human. which ruled out cultural isolationism and entailed the disavowal of chauvinistic assertions of distinctive nationhood.

The fate of modern societies is enacted on stage which now encompasses the planet. Societies which until a few decades ago were able to live in almost total ignorance of each other are today in increasingly close and regular contact. There is a growing interplay of reciprocal influences: interdependence is a reality in many fields of human activity .

Yet. while this interdependence is undoubtedly a source of mutual enrichment, receptivity, new initiatives and creativity, it is also a cause of frustration to the extent that it is accompanied by worsening conditions for certain people. and feelings of growing uncertainly and increased vulnerability. Sensitivity of changes, wherever they occur in the world, is becoming acute.

It is perhaps in the field of culture that the contradictory demands of new world relationships are most readily discernible. Communication between human beings is becoming global in its scope. and the quantity of knowledge and information available is constantly increasing. With the development. of computer technology', the possibilities of collecting this knowledge and information, of storing them and transferring them from one point on the planet to another, are also continually expending.

These exchanges and contacts are accompanied by a growing tendency towards a standardization of tastes and behaviour. and a homogenization of certain patterns of life, thought and action. of production and consumption propagated by the uniform dissemination of the same television series, the same musical rhythms. the same clothes, and the same escapists dreams.

This growing conformity. which seems to follow an internal logic of its own, is gradually invading more and more areas of human activity. In its turn it generates distortions, since it tends to promote whatever conforms to it, and to destroy everything that resists it. Whale sectors of creativity are thus repressed. and societies multitude in their individuality and their distinctive structure. Carried to the extreme, this logic could lead to the ossification of mankind, since diversity if accepted on a footing of complete equality', is an essential and fertile source of vitality for both individual societies and the whole world.

However, as a kind of reaction of this trend. a renewed. explosive affirmation of individuality is emerging. Communities everywhere -- ethnic and national, rural and urban, cultural and religious -- are asserting their originality and endeavouring to take in hand, and defend with vigour- those features by reference to which their identity is defined.

The will to affirm and defend cultural identity. appears now one of the major driving forces of history. Far from representing a withdrawal into an immutable, self-enclosed past. it fosters a lively. original and constantly renewed synthesis. A sense of cultural identity thus appears more and more to be sine qua non of progress for individuals, groups and nations; it is the force that animates and underpins the collective will, mobilizes inner resources, and turns necessary change into creative adaptation.

It is today recognised that the notion of cultural identity less at the very heart of development problems, but it is only recently that this t'act' has own full acceptance by the international community. It is only in the last ten years that our understanding of development, its paths and aims, has broadened and deepened. Originally equated with simple, liner economic growth -- vital. certainly, in so far as an increase in the production of material goods makes a decisive contribution to the improvement of people's living conditions.

When such goods are equitably distributed -- development has increasingly been seen to be an infinitely more complex, comprehensive and multidimensional process. which is effective only if it is based on the will of each society to full itself. and only if it truly exercise each society's underlying identity.

Genuine development can only be generated from within. willed conducted by all the vital forces of the nation. It should therefore. encompass all aspects of life and involve all the energies of a community within which each individual, each occupational category and each social group has its part to play in the general effort. and has its share in resulting benefits.

As so often happens. this growing awareness of the true nature of development was largely brought about by the setbacks experienced in development and industrialized countries like India.

The development countries, tempted to catch up with the industrialized countries by following the same path, have sometimes endeavoured to adopt approaches to development which, seeking to achieve raid economic progress by often inappropriate men's, did not always produce the expected results. or even brought new constraints which not only reproduced but aggravated those which had handicapped the industrialized countries.
At the same time, the industrialized societies, considered to be the most developed, have also come to realise the very serious problems caused by economic growth seen as an end in itself. Damage to the natural environment is exacerbated by new constraints which threaten man's very existence as a social being attached to a community with which he can fully identified.

The whole international community is thus, today. in different ways, increasingly coming to accept the idea of integrated development in which economic. social and cultural factors are commonly linked and contribute together to progress. Culture. which is connected with all expressions of life and which, of every
human being and every people, is the expression of their highest values and their very sense of life, emerges as the factor which is to guide and humanise economic growth and technical progress.

Communications technology has made such strides in the last few years that it has revolutionized life and development in both industrialized and developing societies. Increasingly, people are encountering other cultures in their everyday lives, discovering other values, observing attitudes unfamiliar to them, and thereby coming to know the any faces of mankind. And son. through direct satellite television broadcasting, it will be possible to transmit knowledge globally, and the irruption of other cultures into every home will be a permanent fact.

Whether the role of the new instruments is beneficial or harmful, will depend on the way in which they are used by mankind. It seems indispensable to integrate the communications media into culture polices, for it would be vain to pretend that the media only raise problems of technical order. They' are bound to have repercussions on political attitudes, on social behaviour, on ways of thinking. and thus on culture in the broadest sense.

If development is the concern of all institutions of the United Nations system. cultural questions devolve exclusively on UNESCO. which has for some years. been making an original contribution to the problem of cultural development by launching and promoting the idea of -cultural policy.

An inter-governmental conference on cultural policy was held by UNESCO in Venice, in 1970. and subsequently, a number of regional conferences met in order to deepen and continue, in their specific contexts. the process of reflection begun by the international community. and the accelerate the evolution from a elitist concept of culture to that of cultural action committed to development. which would promote the fulfilment of individuals and communities.

Essay On Nothing Is Good Or Bad But Thinking Makes It So

'There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so-, implies that what we reallY call evil is good in disguise. There is great wisdom in tile words of Shakespeare. -There is some soul of goodness in thins evil, would men observantly distill it out". There is no doubt that the end of good is in evil and the end of all evils is good. for, we must remember that if we want to be good. first we must believe that we are bad: and there is ram* truth in the statement, that to' the truly good man. nothing appears evil.

Man is free to choose good or evil. However there is no evil: it is our imperfect vision which sees evil where there is only good. All is well with the world. It is not entirely bad. at the most it can be said that the world is imperfectly good: man ha5 to realize the good or perfection: to do so, he must have faith in hiroself as a free agent. and God who will complete his endeavours, arid in immortal life, to complete his task and perfect himself. to overcome all evil in himself. All this apart, one thing is certain, there is nothing either good or bad and vice-versa, but thinking makes it so.

No man has ever progressed to greatness, but through mistakes. There is curious mixture of good and bad in us. We cannot be entirely good and completely bad also. If we are totally good. we are gods. and if entirely bad then we become devils. We are, as such, neither good no devils, but simply human begins; therefore, what is good with us is bad to others, and the position is bound to change. We may be as good as we please, if we please to be good. To be good, we must be good. or it attaches itself not merely to this life, it is greater and more than the life.

All that a man does is but the expression of his inward thoughts. To work effectively, man must think nobly. Nothing is so practical as our thoughts. Our views of life mould our life; our viewed of God mould our soul; and clearer the thought and purer the soul. the more successful and happier a life is ensured. Life is thought; to think is to live. Tolstoy spoke the truth. -Men suffer from thinking, more than anything else."

We must remember that good is a virtue, and bad is a vice. In the ultimate conclusion, virtue survives and the vice perishes. Good is that which is useful, whereas bad is that which is harmful. That what is beneficial, gives pleasure and brings profits, is good. Bad is that which is despicable. In fact, good and bad is the source of inspiration of an action. The seed determines the fruit. If the actions are good, it is certain that they cannot be inspired by the evil intentions and in the same way, on evil action can be the result of good thoughts.

Bad is only bad. and in itself is curse. We cannot do evil to others without doing it to ourselves. There is nothing truly evils, but what is within us. It is aptly remarked. "To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift."

No man is free from evil. In fact God alone is good, and those alone have greater degree of goodness in them. who walk upon that path shown by Him. Good is power, whereas bad is weakness of the human character. Good is good in itself. and it cannot be the means to an end. A person is said to be good because he has diligently cultivated those qualities and virtues, which have lasting value.

Therefore, good is intelligent conduct which can be developed by the man only when he has comprehensive understanding of the evil. What is good in one society, in one age, in one pattern of culture, may be bad in another. One man's meat is another man's poison. What is considered good in Western society, is beyond toleration in Pakistani society. Hence, there is nothing good or bad and vice-versa, but thinking makes it so.

Essay On Penny Wise And Pound Foolish And Example

Penny-wise and pound-foolish' is the epithet applied to that man who is very unwilling to spend small sums of money, with the result that he is obliged to spend a larger sum that it would have been necessary if he had not been so miserly in the beginning. Such a policy is usually followed by men who are either very miserly or short-sighted.

In these days of keen economical struggle, the majority of men have to struggle hard and they earn perhaps just sufficient to make both ends meet. Under the pressure of their financial circumstances, those people are naturally led to adopt a penny-wise and pounding foolish policy. The temptation of being able to do by spending little for the time being makes them blind to the consequences of such a policy. They think that they will eventually find to their amazement that, as a matter of fact, that have had to spend more than it would have been necessary had they been a little more farsighted.

Every moment of our lives we find illustrations of this fact. For instance, penny-wise and pound-foolish persons, when they have to purchase the necessaries of life, always look at the cheapness of the article without paying any attention to its durability or good quality. The inevitable result is that the article in question does not last long, and where one of good and durable quality would have sufficed, he has to buy several. Thus, by spending a little more in the first instance, he would have been spared the subsequent drain of money. But foolish men of this type have never the heart to do it.

The proper method is to exercise prudence and forsight in all cases. If some necessity arises, which requires to be satisfied at once, it should be so satisfied immediately. Unless this is a done. the necessity might grow so urgent with the lapse of time, that not only shall we be able to avoid it but we shall have to spend more to meet its demands, which must necessarily have increased on account of the delay.

To take a homely example: a man suing six piece of cloth finds that one of them is worn out and unfit for use. If he be a prudent man he will at once replace this worn-out cloth by a new one. This will make the other clothes last longer and save him from the difficulty of having to buy several clothes all at once. But if he be a short-sighted man, he will think it unnecessary to spend money in buying a new piece of cloth when he still possess five pieces.

Being put to more use than formerly, these five pieces will wear our sooner and in trying to save the cost of one cloth, he will have to spend money for more than one. It is false economy not to meet immediate necessities. If a person does not do a thing early, he will be compelled to do it later, and that at a great sacrifice. A penny spent in proper time will save the expenditure of a pound at a later time. The wisest method, therefore, is not to grudge spending a small amount of money at the beginning, for that will mean the saving of a large sum of money in the long run.

Seeing that it is not at all safe to be penny-wise and pound-foolishing it should be our motto in life not to yield to the temptation of apparent economy. Such economy is always misleading and only leads us into the pitfall of extravagance, which brings want and woe. But from this it must not be supposed that one should not be economic. Economical we must be by all means. But we should always guard ourselves against false economy, which is never paying.

Essay On The Stitch In Time Saves Nine Expansion Of Ideathey

Essay On The Stitch In Time Saves Nine.This proverb in its literal sense applies to rents in our clothes which may be easily mended at first, bus' if they are left unmended, grow bigger and bigger, until they c,nnot be repaired without a great deal of sewing. What is true of tortbuilding of a new pier.and it was evident that to repair it would cost as much as the visit to the town, half of the pier had sunk in ruin under the waves,naturally grew bigger year by year until, on the occasion of my last much labour.

But somehow the breach was left unmended, and a hole of moderate extent, that could have been repaired without the structure. When I first saw the pier there was to be seen in it only bound coast, at little damage was done to the most exposed part of waves. Nevertheless, in one of the violent storms that visit that iron clamps of iron, and it looked as if it could defy the utmost fury of the great stones of which it was composed were bound together by coast of Scotland. to defend the harbour of a fishing village.

The great expense by Government many years ago on the stormy west the proverb from my own observation. A beautiful pier was built at that needs mending, I may quote a striking illustration of the truth of boots, boxes, houses, ships, walls, bridges, in a word, of everything.The expediency of the stitch in time is exemplified not only by the destruction of material fabrics, the rents in which are neglected, but also in medicine, politics, and in intellectual and moral education.

How often has a doctor to tell his patient that, if he had been consulted earlier he might have effected an easy cure, but that now more drastic remedies must be employed. A literary man. for inkance. suffers from indigestion due to overwork and want of exercise. A short holiday in the country might restore him to good health if only he took it in time. But he has important work to do and is averse to taking any rest before he has finished it. So he goes on working until the symptoms become so threatening that he finds himself compelled to consult a doctor.

To his surprise he finds that entire change of diet and absolute idleness for a long period of time are now needed to cure a disease, the progress of which might have been arrested with very little trouble at an earlier stage.

It is the same with the body politic. The best politicians see in good time evils which, if allowed to go on unchecked, will swell to alarming dimensions. Thus the just discontent felt by the people of France on account of the privileges enjoyed by the clergy and nobles might have been appeased by remedial legislation, but, as the cure was delayed, the feelin of disaffection went on smouldering and gathering force, until at last it could no longer be extinguished and produced the horrors of the French Revolution.

That no revolution has taken place in England for the last two hundred years is due to the fact that English politicians have been willing to anticipate rebellion by timely reforms.

Essay on Television Addiction

TV Addiction            Words (306)

Watching television is an experience shared by most adults and children. It is cheap, appealing, and within the reach of the general public. In this way, TV has become an important mass media around the world. Sadly, this resource isn’t used in a way that people could get the best possible benefits from it. The first reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because the content of many TV programs is not educational.

Nowadays, we can see movies, series, and shows that present scenes of violence, sex, and drugs. This has established wrong concepts among the audience that influence them into having a negative behavior. The second reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because it makes people waste time that could be used in more beneficial activities. The time we spend watching TV could be applied to useful activities like exercise, reading, interacting with friends and family, activities that are a crucial for a healthy lifestyle. The third reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because it negatively affects people’s mental development.

According to several scientific studies, watching TV for prolonged periods of time has a negative effect over the intellectual development of children and leads to deterioration of the mental capacity in older people by causing both attention and memory problems in the long term. In conclusion, people shouldn’t watch too much television because the content of many TV programs is not educational; it makes people waste time that could be used in more beneficial activities; and it affects people’s mental development. However, this doesn’t mean that we should ban TV, but if we are going to watch it, we should do it with moderation. Television is a resource that we should learn to use through the right selection of programs by taking an active and critical attitude towards it.

Essay On Life Is Action Not Contemplation

Life Is Action Not Contemplation Essay.This famous quotation from the German poet and Philosopher Goethe, contains a valuable idea. Life is not just a reverie, a dream. It is much more than that. It is action, endeavour great and heroic deeds. Without energetic action, life would stagnate. Without true deeds, life would become static and would lose much of its charm. A life of thought and reflection would be quite futile if thought never emerges to issue in practical action.

This does not, however, mean that contemplation has no place in life. Contemplation induces peace of mind, tranquillity and contentment. Great ideals are usually a product of contemplation. Practically all the germinal ideas of the world have come from thinkers and Philosophers with whom contemplation was a habit. Without mature reflection and cool deliberation nothing should be done. Meditation and silent prayer are purifying agents for the soul and a sedative for the nerves.

But contemplation should never be regarded as the aim or reason diet of human life. If great idea offered to the world by Philosophers had not been translated into action by practical men. they would have been lost. If the teachings of thinkers like Rousseau and Voltaire had not been given a concrete shape in the form of position, there would have been no revolution and no political progress in France.

The march of civilisation has largely depended upon men of action, men for whom the desire to do brave deeds was supreme. How much does the world owe to its great explorers, navigators and mountain -- climbers who faced the wrath of nature and fury of the elements in order to satisfy their inner urge for action.
Think of the large number of men who have in one way or other contributed to the progress and prosperity of mankind or who have been responsible for the realisation of the great ideals of the world.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. Pasteur, John Brown, Florence nightingale. Garibaldi Lenin--- all these were those persons whose capacity for action was exceptional. It is . indeed, interesting to imagine what would have happened if all these and similar men and women of action had passed their lives in contemplation. Would not human life have still been primitive? The attitude of mind expressed by Tennyson is certainly not to be envied or encouraged.

Life would come to a standstill if we were all to spend our existence in dreamily ease. We would therefore say with Ulysses that- to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield, is the sum of life. We ought not to pause, to make an end, to cut unfurnished.- As Carlyle says. "Work while it is called today for the night cometh where in no man can work-. Merely to brood and muse over life would be a poor way of spending time. If we were all to act upon Stevensons's advice and turn idlers (even in his sense of the word), life would become exceedingly dull. There is a keen pleasure in achievement and a great joy in creation compared with which the satisfaction born of mere contemplation is nothing.

Besides, the desire for action is something irrepressible except in morbid. lazy people . Nature has endowed us with inexhaustible reserves of energy and we must utilize them in action. War itself. which is so destructive, may be looked upon as a necessity since it serves as an outlet for superabundant energy that accumulates in human beings. In short, it is not desirable to retire into jungles. like Pakistani saints or go to monasteries .like medieval Christian monks and spend life in meditation. The prophets moved about among men and made energetic efforts to teach mankind the ideal way of life.

Essay On Man Is The Architect Of His Own Fortune

Essay On Man Is The Architect Of His Own Fortune.The maxim means in plain English that the fortune of a man depends upon his own self; he can make or mar according as he wishes. In other word, the destiny of a man lies in his own hands,and he can be successful if he only wills it. Man has been sent out to this world by God endowed with all those qualities which are essential for greatness. It is up to man to utilise these qualities. If he puts his whole heart into his work and makes the best use of his talents, he cannot but be successful in life. He only courts failure, if he does not do this.

A man who possesses a strong will and a firm determination finds all difficulties solved. To him there are a thousand ways open to steer clear of all dangers and difficulties. Such a man goes on working hard with a strong resolution and an unshaken will, who achieves success and makes his fortune. It is the height of folly to suppose that wealth, fame or power comes to a man by his sitting at home and only asking for it.

A person must be persevering and must exert himself, if he wants to shape out his destiny. He who fails to bring strength of mind and industry to bear upon his work in life has nothing but suffering and troubles as his lot. If a man cannot achieve wealth and fortune unless he works hard and unless he has a powerful will, it follows that he is the builder of his own fortune, He can make his fortune if he wishes to do so, by being industrious and persevering. He call also bring misery and suffering upon himself if he has not the wish to labour.

The well-known story of the carpenter-boy shows how even impossible thing are made possible and how one's destiny can be completely changed by an iron will. A carpenter-boy was one day found hard at work in repairing a chair and polishing it. One of his neighbours, who was watching him at his work, ridiculed him for his taking so much pains. The boy replied to his neighbour's ridicule by saying that there was a motive behind his action. He was polishing it so carefully because he would one day sit upon it.

The neighbour laughed at his idea, but what was his surprise when he found that the boy, by dint of perseverance and strength of will, rose to be a magistrate and actually sat upon the chair, which he had himself mended. The carpenter-boy by his own efforts changed his destiny of remaining a poor carpenter all his life.

Every man reaps the result of his own actions. If he is active, he will be rewarded for his activity and if he is idle, he will haye to suffer for his idleness. Many men have a tendency to sit idle. for they say it is impossible to do anything against Fate. But there can be nothing so foolish as to believe that luck or destiny makes one's fortune. We all known that "Fortune favours the brave, and there is no exaggeration in this.

Fortune comes only to those who have the capacity to face dangers without shrinking and who are not disheartened by failure. In other words, those who are active and work with a determination can only come by fortune. This is the same as saying that only those who have a strong desire to win fortune can be favoured by it. To trust to fate and remain inactive is nothing but cowardice, and it is idle to expect that fortune will ever favour such cowards.

To suppose that other persons or powers can be of help to promote one's well being or give one a fortune only proves one's weakness. This is never possible. It rests entirely with every individual to shape his own ends. It is thus clear that man cannot improve his condition in life or get fame and fortune, unless he wills it and acts in accordance with his wish. It is out of the question to hope for success by doing nothing and only dreaming of wealth and renown.

It is only the weak and feeble hearted who lay blame at the door of their failures, for which their own idleness and negligence alone are responsible. Those who exert their will are sure to find that fortune is theirs, and their examples as also of those who are fatalists will prove beyond the shadow of doubt that it depends upon every man to improve his position in life or spoil it according as he wishes.

Essay On The Man Who Hesitates Is Lost

The Man Who Hesitates Is Lost Essay.Hesitation, or the want of firmness of mind to take proper action at the right moment, stands in the way of progress and brings about failure and ruin in life. This is what is implied by the proverb. The reason why hesitation is so fatal to success is not far to seek. Opportunities come but once in a lifetime. If an opportunity presents itself to one, and one hesitates to utilise it, one loses it for ever, for time and opportunity once lost can never, be recalled.

The lost opportunity may be such as to spoil the man's future career and bring ruin upon him, for there is no knowing what misfortune may lie hidden beneath the opportunities that come to a man. It was for this that Napoleon the Great was always fond of saying that "Every minute lost gives an opportunity for misfortune- Besides opportunities, every man may expect critical times to come upon him some time or the other during his lifetime. If on such occasions he does not take prompt action but waits to consider what should be done, the danger overpowers him and he is lost.Life in this world is a constant struggle.

Every man tries to outstrip his fellows in the race of life. He who is active and has the capacity to act with promptness comes out successful, but the who wavers is left far behind and wakes to find himself hopelessly, beaten, like the hare in the story of "The Hare and the Tortoise. A hesitating man is never successful in life. While he deliberates as to the proper course to adopt, the opportunity for action comes and goes.

When perhaps he has finished his deliberation, he finds that either the favourable chance has slipped by, or someone else more alert and active has taken advantage of it. There is no room for idleness or calm and leisurely deliberation. We must " take time by the forelock- and never allow a favourable moment pass away for want of decision. The inability to settle at once the plan of action when called upon to do so causes much suffering and misery and spoils many a bright career.

However gifted a man might be, if he does not possess firmness of mind and the capacity of immediate action, he can never hope to be victorious in the hard struggle for existence. The dangers of hesitation are also evident in the commonplace affairs of life. If the farmer hesitates to plough his land or sow his seeds when it is time for sowing or ploughing and allows the opportune moment to pass away, he cannot reap any harvest and will be compelled to face starvation.

The business man who hesitates to transact business when the market is favourable suffers great losses. To whatever sphere of life we turn, we notice that hesitation leads to nothing but disaster, while prompt action to success. How dangerous hesitation is in the practical affairs of life, not only where individuals are concerned, but also where nations are in question, will be clear from the following illustrations. In the Peninsular War, Marshal Soult had reduced the British troops to the point of yielding.

One determined attack by him at this moment would have completely routed the British army and as he was about to do so, the Duke of Wellington, the English general, arrived on the field of battle. At the sight of their general the English soldiers raised loud cheers of joy. Hearing these shouts, Marshal Soult hesitated to attack and this hesitation on his part deprived him of the chance of defeating the English army, which was almost a settled fact.

Hesitation is nothing but weakness in men who do not possess a strong mind. This is a defect which can easily be remedied, if one wills it. If one subjects oneself to a mental training and educates one's mind to have firmness and resolution, this serious drawback can be overcome. A man who is wanting in the power of decision finds himself at the mercy of every cireumstance in life.

It has been proved that hesitation is one of the greatest obstacles standing in the way of progress. It subjects one to failures and disappointments and in many cases brings utter ruin. It should, therefore, be the aim of all to overcome this weakness if they happen to have it. If they succeed, they will find that life is, after all, not so bad as they thought it to be, for strength of mind will bring success and prosperity to them.

Essay On Inflation In Pakistan

Essay On Inflation In Pakistan.Inflation has been gradually building up for the last one or two cedes. It is not restricted to a few countries; it is a world wide phenomenon. Its reasons and caues are so numerous that it is scarcely possible to write all of them down here in a short essay. At most, only a sketchy account of inflation can be given and that too in relation to Pakistan alone.

In addition to general reasons applicable to all other countries of the world, there are certain particular reasons also which added to the inflationary trend in Pakistan. The 1971 War, which paralysed the economy of Pakistan and brought misery to hundreds of thousands of people, is one of the major reasons. After this War, Pakistan currency had to be devalued sharply as an initial step towards rebuilding the economy. 

The 1973 floods in the Punjab and Sind destroyed crops and property worth crores of rupees and took uncountable human lives. But this was not all. The sharp hike in oil prices proved to be as disastrous for our economy as the 1971 War. The result was that the prices of goods short up to a new height, while the balance of payment reserves dwindled to their lowest ebb.

What is the remedy? It is possible to arrest this run-away inflation? Well, different econontsts offer different remedies: few have proved fruitful. The most common remedy suggested is that the production of goods must be stepped up so that they could be exported to earn the much needed foreign exchange. But with the goods being sent abroad, how to check the prices at home?

Others suggest that the government should decrease its investment on public works programme. During the period of inflation the government should raise the rates of both direct and indirect taxes so that the individual consumer may have less money to spend. Still others recommend that the wages should not be allowed to increase as this will intensify the effects of inflation. The govertunent may adopt the policy of allowing the individuals to have a share of the essential articles at a relatively low price as the prices of essential commodities are fixed and their distribution is also arranged at those fixed prices.

Last but not least, the government must introduce check and balance system. No one should be allowed to overcharge. The prices of the commodities of daily use must be fixed people should also show the veal income to the government so that government could plan in a better way.

Essay On The United Nations Organizations UNO

Essay On The United Nations Organizations.The hope of the world lies in the United nations Organization. It alone can save the world from the horrors of a Thermo-nuclear war. If the U.NO. goes the way of the League of Nations, the world will go down the gap of a volcano. It will burn and burst like a big bomb.

The U.N.0 was born after the Second World War on 24th October 1945 after the signing of the Atlantic Charter. Every year 24th October is celebrated as the U.N. Day throughout the world.

The U.N.0 was a committee of nations. The original need was for a world body to strive and keep peace in the world after the end of the Second World War. The brains behind the big move were the Big Three --- Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin. a conference was called at San Francisco which was attended by all the Allied Powers. It prepared a charter of international peace --- the Atlantic Charter. Ironically enough. the Atlantic Charter was hammered home on the Pacific coast of San Francisco!

The first committee of the U.N.O. was the Security Council. It had five permanent members -- the U.S.A., Russia, United Kingdom. France and Nationalist China --- who were equally vested with the right of veto over any question, so that unless and until all these five Powers agreed upon a question, it could not be carried through in the Security Council. That precedent continues right up to now. Only' that China is not the Communist China represented there, but the China of Chiang Kai-shek in Formosa.

The seating of Communist China and the unseating of Formosa has been one of the most burning topics in the U.N.O. The other units of the U.N.O. are the General assembly. the Economic and Social Council, the International Court of Justice and Trusteeship Council. Each member-nation is represented on the General Assembly but the Security Council has only 11 members of which the five are permanent and the rest are elected by the General Assembly by rotation.

Another wings is the International Court of Justice appointed by the General Assembly at The Hague. One of the most popular wings of the U.N.0, is U.N.E.S.C.O. (United Nations Education. Scientific and Cultural organization) which is headquartered at Paris. The U.N.O. itself has its headquarters at New York.
The U.N.0 shares great responsibilities without having equally great powers.

It has done a solid job in Korea, Indo China. Suez and the Congo in preventing major international conflicts and maintaining peace and order in the afflicted countries. Pakistani troops have played a great part in all these theatres of conflict and clash. In other fields, the U.N.0 means freedom from ignorance and disease also. It takes care of the handicapped children throughout the world. Now it has more than one hundred nations as its members. Its secretariat is in New York.

The head of the U.N.O. is U Than. Burmese national. Each member-nation contributes its share of the expenses of the U.N.O. -- the big powers, however, pay more than the small nations. It has been proposed that the U.N.O. should have an army of its own and it should also be entrusted with legislative powers for the whole world. But this dream is still to be realized. The U.N.O. has become a hot-bed of politics. Only the sanity in the world leaders can save this organisations as well as the humanity.

Essay On Universal Brotherhood

Essay On Universal Brotherhood.The world is not as big as it used to be. Today, rapid communication facilities have brought us all very close together. Environmental concern has also brought us to think of ourselvesbeing the direct causes of each other's happiness. Forest tires in Indonesia cause haze in Singapore; industries in one European country cause acid rain in another. No more can we afford to live within our own countries' boundaries and say that we do not need others. In fact, in the area of economics, we have already realized the value of looking after each other.

We are not far from the idealistic state of living as members of a family. The idea of universal brotherhood is not a strange one. Many great men have written about it from time. There is so much more to be gained if man can live in the ideal of universal brotherhood. Imagine a world of plenty. Right now there is a situation in the world of plenty in one area and extreme poverty in other areas.

With the consciousness of universal brotherhood there will not be poverty anywhere. We know that at least as far as food is concerned, there is abundance. With food being distributed like within a family, the farmers in the rain forest countries will not cut down the forests for farming. They just don't have to and can do other work.

With universal brotherhood. there is no such thing as countries or border. We can go to each other's countries at will with no such fuss as passports and immigration. If we can travel so freely within our own countries, and if we are all as brothers, we could just work or live anywhere in the world that pleases us. With the concept of universal brotherhood too will come that deep love for each other. If there is just more love in the world than at present. the world will be a beautiful place to life in indeed.

If ever human being in the world will consider every other human being as a brother, then even the idea of war will cease to exist. Is this possible? We have many examples in the world of small communities living in love and brotherhood. If this is possible for even a few human beings, the idea of universal brotherhood is just an expansion of the idea.

Last but not least, tolerence is also very important for universal brotherhood. If we develop this virtue in ourselves, it is very easy to make this world heaven. Modern scientific inventions like computer. TV., disk and internet has converted this world to a big village. That is why it is hour of need that we should develop universal brotherhood.
