Turning dreams into reality

Converting your imagination into reality is a very hard task, but it is not impossible. For example, before I slept last night, I imagined that I was a star student of the best university in the whole world. My imagination can come true if I work hard, read books, get good grades and make myself capable of getting a scholarship, and then continue working hard in the university.

To achieve a dream, you first need to make up your mind to accept and overcome all the obstacles that come in between. However, there is one obstacle that is the hardest — I will have to go away from my family, cook food and wash my own clothes.

If you want to make your dreams come true, you need to be strong enough to face the obstacles and you should have enough confidence to not give up.

Inner beauty

I would like to express my thoughts about the story “Inner Beauty” by Maryam Rasheed in Young World (April 4, 2020).

The story highlighted the fact that outer beauty is not so important, what is more important is our inner beauty. Some people are often afraid to express their inner beauty because they think no one will notice it or appreciate it.

I would like to say that it doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, the thing which matters is that your heart should be clean. You should be nice, humble, caring, loving and polite to other people. These qualities make you perfect and you don’t need to worry about your status.

The topic had a great moral lesson. I appreciate Young World for guiding our children toward the right path. I really enjoy reading meaningful and thought-provoking stories published in Young World.

First of all, I would like to thank Young World for sharing a beautiful story like “Inner beauty” by Maryam Rasheed.

It really doesn’t matter if a person doesn’t have money and status in society, the main thing is the etiquettes of the person and how they behave with others. The story had a great lesson for everyone.

Helping is a virtue

This refers to the story “Helping is a virtue” by Hasnain Anwar (YW, April 11, 2020). I read this story with great interest and enjoyed it a lot because the writer nicely used the story to tell us about the importance of helping others.

By helping others, many problems in society can be solved and the world would be a happier place for everyone to live in peace and harmony.
