Congrats Naseem Shah

I would like to congratulate the youngest Pakistani player Naseem Shah for his maiden test hat-trick. He is only 16 and has become the youngest player to get a hat-trick in test history. He took his hat-trick in Rawalpindi against Bangladesh in the first Test. I appreciate him and the other players for their talent in cricket. I hope that young Naseem will achieve a lot for Pakistan in the future.

Caring for the elderly

This is with reference to the cover article “Caring for the elderly” by Benazir Raz Soomro (YW, February 08, 2020). Elderly care means considering an older family member’s emotional, mental and physical well-being.

If you’re concerned about an elderly relative or loved one having trouble caring for themselves, it may be time to step in and offer help. Before you start helping your loved ones, take time to assess their needs. You need to figure out what kind of care would benefit them the most.

Talk to them, spend time observing them and work with their health-care provider to determine their needs. Communicate honestly with them and ask them for their opinions about any options you are considering. Then listen attentively.

Living with an elderly person may be challenging for everyone, but it can also be rewarding.

Knowledge is important

Little knowledge is a dangerous thing. As we know we are living in the age of superficiality, everyone wants to show that he is more talented, more educated and smarter, and has more knowledge than others.

Many of us think that we have less knowledge as compared to others and because of this we always lose our confidence. We shouldn’t hesitate to deliver our point of view about any matter.

In a nutshell, lack of knowledge leads us towards failure and misconceptions which are harmful for us in the long run.
