The medicine that saved lives

This is with reference to the story “The medicine that saved lives” by Syeda Rimsha Hasan (YW, August 21).

The story was interesting as well as meaningful, as it gave hope to the readers. It was an awesome read. I am inspired and feel encouraged. It compelled me to be courageous and I hope like me, many other readers would be encouraged to face difficulties with bravery.

The road to success is not easy, it is full of difficulties, so we should not lose hope.

Good deeds

This is with reference to the story “Good deeds” by Aaminah Alavi (YW, August 7). The story gives an essential lesson of doing good deeds to people around us, because it makes everyone happy and our utmost goal in life should always be to bring happiness in everyone’s lives.

Little Miss Ego

This is regarding the story “Little Miss Ego” by Laiba Khan (YW, August 21). I liked the story because it gave us a deep message that a good friend is more valuable than money. If we are arrogant, we will lose our good friends.

Moreover, I think parents should also urge their kids to observe good manners and therefore, be a positive example in society.

The story “Little Miss Ego” By Laiba Khan was very interesting. The story highlighted how wicked it is to be arrogant if you are wealthy. It is true that people become arrogant if they think they are able to have things which other people cannot afford.

However, such people can only be corrected if we make them realise that money is not everything, it is a blessing one should cherish by sharing and by being humble.

Our duty towards nature

This is regarding the article “Our duty towards nature” by Sarwasha Mairaj (YW, 7 August). It conveyed the message of how devastating human activities are for nature. I agree with the writer that the rules made by humans can be broken, but we cannot break the rules of nature.

Due to our unhealthy activities, nature will be in worse shape tomorrow and we won’t be able to save it then. There is an urgent need to conserve natural settings so that our future generations can also enjoy and cherish the beauty of nature. The world needs to be united to protect this priceless gift.
