The luxuries of hard work

This is with reference to the article “The luxuries of hard work” by Ambreena Bibi (YW, April 24). The article was very encouraging for the readers.

Hard work makes us strong, confident and content. It motivates us and keeps us energetic, which is a definite path to success. In fact, hard work is the gist to get success in life.

Cook-it-yourself

I am an avid reader of Young World. Every Saturday morning, I wait impatiently for the newspaper to come. The content published in the magazine is always very interesting.

My favourite section of the magazine is Cook it yourself. The recipes are really easy to make and worth trying. My favourite recipe was puff pastry pizza, which I tried at home and it turned out pretty good.

Dignity of labour

This is an apropos to “Dignity of labour” by Rizwana Naqvi (YW, May 1). I would like to thank the writer for writing on such an important topic that we all need to pay attention to.

Labourers and workers of all kinds need our empathy and respect because they are the ones who do the hard work. For most of us, life is too easy where we do little manual work, and it is all because of the manual labourers who are doing the tough work around us. Their life is difficult.

Nobody can deny that these workers, being the least educated and poor ones, have more honesty than those who provide jobs nowadays. Therefore, we must not ignore their efforts, and we must appreciate, respect and help them in any possible that way we can.

Easy yarn birds

This is regarding the Wonder crafts, “Easy yarn birds” by Asif Ali (YW, May 15). I appreciate the writer for providing us with easy DIY from things that we use every day.

The birds made from yarn were so easy and looked very beautiful. We can make and put them somewhere as a decoration piece. I never thought we can make such cuties from simple yarn string so easily.

The riddle room

This is with reference to the story “The riddle room!’’ by Ali Aaliyan Rizvi (YW, May 22). The story was amazing. Every sentence made me wonder what was going to happen next. Stories are always wonderful; especially the mystery ones and I think one should read all types of genres to have better vocabulary and a broad imagination.
