There is no Planet B

This concerns the article “There is no planet B” by Eshaal Ahsana (YW, November 9). Trees, plants and other small creations play a vital role in our lives, contributing to the balance of nature and our well-being. Unfortunately, many green spaces have been replaced by new constructions and developments.

If left unchecked, this trend could lead to a future where the absence of nature would bring more chaos and leave us disconnected from the environment that sustains all living things.

This powerful message is brilliantly conveyed through the article. It not only highlights an important issue, but also leaves a lasting impact on its readers, encouraging them to reflect on the importance of preserving nature.

The secret of the pen

This is with reference to the story, “The secret of the pen” by Farheen Farwa, (YW, November 9). The true value of something can be discovered by uncovering its secrets.

The pen is mightier than the sword, as it holds the power to shape words and ideas in a way that is clear and impactful.

However, achieving this power requires consistent effort and dedication. Those who once struggled to speak out in public now raise their voices through their words, using the pen as their tool for expression, proving that even the quietest voices can transform into powerful agents of change.

The story “The art of believing in yourself” by Syeda Fizza Hussain gives us a great lesson about self-believing. Believing in yourself helps build confidence and success in the face of life’s challenges and competitions.

To make a mark in the world and the hearts of others, we must share our ideas and creativity without hesitation, trusting in our abilities.

The happiness

This is regarding the story ‘‘The happiness’’ by Naad -e- Ali Khan (YW November 16).

The story beautifully described how a small act of kindness can save a life. Many people spend money unnecessarily, but instead of wasting it, they could help those who lack food, shelter or are going through a crisis.

They should support individuals in hospitals whose treatment is delayed due to financial constraints. When we help people in need, we can lead a more satisfying life and find happiness in seeing others’ joy. This, in turn, brings a deep sense of fulfilment and contentment.
