Time heals every thing

THIS is regarding the short article “Time heals everything” by Manahil Nadeem (YW, October 3, 2015).

The article was well-written and I agree with all the views of the writer.

People are trying their level best to attain a peaceful life in this world. But we often get entangled in petite matters which bring sadness in our lives, for instance, if someone doesn’t come up to our expectations, our hearts break and so it takes a lot of time to heal.

But it ultimately gets healed… so it the time which brings this change and peace. We must remain patient in every matter and see how things take their course.

Time runs so fast, it teaches us to survive with pain and not to regret anything after losing because everything has been written in our fate by God. And we should have patience if we lose anything.

Secret Files

THIS is with reference to “Secret Files, Mister Fantastic” compiled by Omair Alavi (YW, September 26, 2015).

I would recommend the writer to carefully select these heroes’ files as the one ‘Mister Fantastic’ is a fictional Superhero of Marvel, while Lex Lurthor on the other hand is a property of D.C comics and the writer has put them both at the same platform, it would’ve been better if the writer had put Doctor Doom instead of Lex Lurthor.

Learning in the cyberspace

THIS is regarding the cover article “Learning in the cyberspace,” by Asif Ali (YW, October 3, 2015). Not only students but all who use internet should learn how to use it appropriately.

Students need to know in particular about websites that are useful for academic progress. The internet is a modern resource of accumulating and getting knowledge, but it is not the only resource.

In the article, it was rightly said that students should carefully select websites for academic awareness.

However, I would like to differ from the writer on the opinion that only present-day students need to increase their skills and awareness about their subjects of study. Students even before cyberspace needed to gain relevant knowledge of their subjects.

Academic progress needed diligent study in all eras. The internet has made it only easier for students and scholars to learn and accumulate knowledge about their subjects by visiting websites.

Using that knowledge appropriately is something that students need to do themselves without any assistance from any website.
