The article “Stop losing time and focus” by Aafia Anis highlighted the importance of time. Although time is significantly more valuable than money, most of us don’t value it.

We should not waste time, rather we should use it effectively by setting goals and then trying to achieve them on time. It is rightly said that once time goes, it never comes back.

Chasing a dream

This is regarding the story “Chasing a dream” by Sidra F. Sozer (YW, July 6). While pursuing passions is essential, it’s crucial to be prepared for the challenges and uncertainties that may arise along the way.

Never be overconfident

This is regarding the story “Never be overconfident” by Abdul Muqsit Kamran (YW, July 20). The story highlighted how overconfidence can lead to embarrassment and unforeseen consequences. It serves as a reminder that being too sure of ourselves without proper preparation can result in failure and regret.

Young World should continue to publish stories like this, that encourage self-awareness and the importance of balancing confidence with careful consideration.

The story “Never be overconfident” by Abdul Muqsit Kamran effectively highlighted the consequences of being overconfident. Overconfidence is often a root cause of failure, not only among students but also among the general public.

However, the story’s ending was impactful, teaching us the importance of hard work and consistency.
