2. Preface
“Little drops of water make mighty ocean” this line has
inspired me to write. It has been my dream to write books; in
this regard I have taken this first little step toward the
destination, which is a thousand miles away.
When I look at the condition of people of my Sindh, my entire
country, I become worried. People are so corrupt and selfish,
that they feel no pain of poor; they have forgotten that those
people are also part of their society, who sleep without eating
meal. I wonder how we are living our lives happily leaving
poor on the road! There must be two reasons, whether we are not humans or we
have the hearts of stone, we don’t have the hearts which beat! So, the reason I
write, is to remind the rich people and rulers of their responsibilities, to aware the
poor to get his rights. So, I am sure my little efforts will make difference and will
make our Sindh and our entire Pakistan stronger and mightier, where no one will
sleep without eating meal, where no one will grow without getting education.
There is always room for improvement, so if you find mistakes or don’t like any ideas
or things discussed in the book, do tell me, so that I may ponder over it, and can
make it better. My articles, essays and stories serve many purposes. These help
students to be good at English, these help them differentiate between right and
wrong, these give them new ideas and ways etc.
I write on social issues, topics and problems. I try my best to give people the
alternatives to live their lives to the fullest. No matter if they are poor. Through my
writings and lectures, I try to change the minds of people, convince them to do
something, make them realize that there is some kind of art hidden in every person,
only they need to discover it.
I also do social work, and I request all of the people who think like me, to come and
join me, so that my struggle may become mightier and mightier. As little drops of
water make mighty ocean. Come forward and join me and my struggle, so that we
may make a mighty organization, this will work for the poor, for education, for
awareness, and for the welfare.
Let’s live for one another!

4. One More Chapter of Injustice
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS University of Sindh
It was a sunny day Robi was so
delighted to win the prize in her
class for essay competition. Her
teacher said her that he was sure
that one day Robi would become a
great girl. Robi said to her teacher,”
If God wanted I would become a doctor”. The teacher replied,
“God wants that I know because He has given you all the
abilities which a successful doctor should have”. Robi came
home and showed her mother the prize. Robi’s mother was
happy too, but her father didn’t seem to be happy.
Robi’s father is a drunker; her mother has to defray her education. She makes
both ends meet by needle work. Robi besides going to school, she also helps her
mother in household works and in needle work. Days kept going by and now Robi
is in class nine. At night Robi’s father said to her mother, “Now Robi has grown
up”. Her mother said to him, “No she is still young, well why do you say so”? He
said, “Now Robi won’t go to school any more”. Her mother said, “No she has to
study still, and she wants to be a doctor”. “A doctor impossible” he said. “Why
can’t she be a doctor she is most clever girl in the class”, said her mother. Her
father said to her mother,” Because the time has come for her to go to her real
home”. “You are thinking about Robi’s marriage? She is still too young” said she.
“Well sooner or later she has to go, and this is a good work in any good work no
late”. Said Robi’s father. He further added, “I have already talked to my old friend,
he has a son who works in the fields, so that will be better for her. And I don’t
want to talk about it any more that’s it”.
In morning when Robi was getting ready for going to school, her mother said her,”
stay at home today”. Robi said, “why dear mother”. She said,” today I have a lot of
work and I want you to help me”. Robi said’ “all right if you say, I am not going”.
So on that day her mother told her that her father was going to get her married.
Robi tore into pieces. Her mother said her,” it is inevitable, neither can I do
anything nor you can refuse, if we go against, we will both be in trouble”. So it is
better to be quite and bear.
Robi’s dreams shattered, she felt a storm inside her, she wanted to cry as much
loudly as it could break the sky. Weeping and sobbing she slept. In few days,
Robi’s father made her to get married. Now she was just an alive dead body
moving in the world.
True to his nature the man closed one more chapter of injustice with Robi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder how many other Robis’ would yet be killed, sold, and kidnapped
etcetera! That so called civilized man should know, that the woman is also a
human, she breathes the same way as he does, her heart beats as his, and like
him she has emotions too.
5. Variety is the Spice of Life
By: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS University of Sindh
A life teeming with fun, ecstasy, and enjoyment can not be
possible except variety. Variety is a thing which gives life
new things, new experiences, and new ways, and these all
things make one’s life memorable.
Variety has decisive role in
life; it adds zing to the life. Variety in other words changing
makes one’s life fabulous. If there is no change, no newness in life, the life will be
devoid of merriment, experience, and learning.
Imagine, if you are in just same city from years,
and when you leave the city and go in an other city. You will have new experience,
you will get new things, and you will gain new knowledge.
One who faces new situations, new people,
and new things, he becomes adroit, experienced, and knowledgeable. Ordinary
things make bored, and extraordinary things provide fun and so many other things.
One must try to have variety in his life.
It is said that, the more the merrier, it means that,
where there are more things or more people; there will be more fun. Likewise when
there are more changes in the life, becomes more charming and hilarious.
It has been observed that, the elder person has the
more experience of the things in the life than the young, it is because, the elder
must have seen and faced more difficulties and predicaments, he has its
experience, he knows better how to deal with them, that is why he is experienced.
Many people start new activities with great zest, but
they give up after some time, which is called a nine days’ wonder. Why do people
give up after sometime? The reason is that, the attraction which new activities have
in the early days that attraction dwindles; when they become used to it, the activity
stops fascinating them. Their mind needs something new then. A song which you
listen for the first time gives you more entertainment, but if you listen to it over and
over, you will be feeling irritable. It ceases entertaining you, and then you try to find
some other songs.
In the world, people who do something special,
something new and beneficial for others, something revolutionary, and something
amazing, are always remembered. It is also a kind of variety which makes them
influential and eminent.
One must try to have as much variety as he can,
because one day the game of life has to end, no matter if you lose or win, it is how
much you lived your life with fun, righteousness and happiness. Live your life
before it is your turn to leave the world.
6. Health
Is
Wealth
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS University of Sindh
There’s no person on the earth who doesn’t want to live his life to the fullest.
Everyone wants to have fun and happy life. But have you ever pondered over what
the most important thing for a happy life is? Of course health. Nothing of this world
can make you feel good, if you are not healthy, be it money, a palace, or any other
thing. You’ll be instead sick of these material things if you don’t feel yourself. If you
are hale and hearty, then everything will appeal you and will attract you. That’s why
it’s said health is wealth.
Most of us don’t take care of our health in everyday life.
We stay up late at night; eat everything without
considering what impact it’ll have on our health; we get up
late in the morning; and have commonly bad routine and
all this results in illness.
Our routine matters a lot. If it’s proper, our health will have
less danger.
Let’s say I get up
late, definitely I’d
be late at work,
and I’d have
improper breakfast just in hurry few
morsels’, in office I’d be flooded with work
and I was already late, so I will have to
work late to finish my work, and would come home late and very innervated. It’ll be
so late when I’d go to bed after having supper. Again next morning I’d get up
certainly late because I slept late, and will have that entire hustle bustle again. At
this rate, it’ll be not long when I’d be sick. So we ought to get
out of this kind of routine. It’s the reason we don’t develop, we
don’t progress, and instead we lose our health.
So, you must pay attention to yourself and your health. Every
day take some time away for exercise, go out in open air and
take fresh oxygen, eat salubrious food and fruits, go for beach
walks, walk barefooted on grass and bank of a river, it’ll be
very good for your health and you would enjoy, experience the
sunset, dance with your spouse, do something new, it’ll give
your mind relaxation and you will have fun.
7. LIKE THE FATHER
LIKE THE SON
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon
It is an old saying, which means the son is
exactly the same as his father. So as to say,
the son would do absolutely alike his father
does. The habits which a father possesses, the son will have
exactly the similar. The way father talks, behaves, and treats others, the son
would follow certainly the same way of his father. So the saying implies that the
parents are responsible for developing child’s positive mien and conduct.
Since a new born baby doesn’t know anything about
this world, she comes to know step by step through parents, and then via others.
Whatever a child sees at home, he adopts that, he develops everything in him,
which family-members have. He follows customs and rules of his family, and acts
upon them. So, it would not be wrong to say that, parents can make or mar the
child; they can make their child a superb citizen, an extraordinary child, a
submissive son, an assiduous man, a good and caring son, a selfless man and a
philanthropic man. On the contrary, they, the parents can make their child a rude
boy, a dishonest man, a disobedient son, an immoral man, a disgusting boy, and
selfish man. So, the making of a child, good or bad, is in the hands of parents. No
any father would want to see and make his son a bad man, for making a child
good man, a good atmosphere, a nice upbringing and learning is of great
significance.
The child should be given a good atmosphere, the
atmosphere at home should be such, that the child should learn good things
automatically. The way of talking of parents with offspring and others should be
polite. Parents should be selfless and helper of poor in daily life. A proper
attention and time should be given to a child. At night “Bed Time” stories should
be told to the child. Parents should help the child in doing homework. Time for
playing and entertainment should be provided to the child. On holidays parents
should go out with the child for a picnic. The parents should take their child with
them, when going on parties, or such occasions. Parents ought to buy the child
good books, so that the child may develop the habit of reading. The parents must
discuss the general and particular things with the child. In so doing, the child will
develop terrific habits, his mind and thought would get broader, he will have a
sense of right and wrong, and will have the value for the time. He will be polite
when treating others, he would be assistant of humans, and would be
sympathetic. The child would be a good part of society, a good man, and above all
an outstanding son.

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.” —Lao-Tze
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's an amazing but true fact: more people are denied promotions because of
attitude and habits rather than lack of knowledge and skills. And yet most of us
spend our time and money working on knowledge and skills instead of attitude
and habits.
8. THE IMPORTANCE OF MORALITY IN
MAKING PERSONALITY
Written by: Rizwan Ahmed Memon
It is believed that, God does not see the slave’s outer
beauty, but inner beauty. Inner beauty is morality, in other
words morals, decency, virtue and all that jazz. Broadly
talking character, morality plays a crucial role in making a
superb personality. A personality which possesses morality, is considered the best
one, is liked by everyone, and it flickers all the time. Morality begets goodness,
sincerity and meekness. And these are the things which make splendid personality.
A terrific personality is always based on good
morality. One’s outer look can not impress others, in comparison to inner beauty or
the morality. Morality has got dreadfully great significance in Islam too. Holy prophet
was bestowed with marvelous morality, and it is the most exceptional and groovy
quality of him. The personality, which becomes role model for others, morality is
always in possession of that. Morality expresses one’s nature, behavior, and way of
thinking. The personality, which is followed by people, that personality has
enormously excellent nature, well behavior, and superlatively positive way of
thinking. Through good morality one can change others, as once holy Prophet was
bothered and tormented by an old woman, who used to throw garbage and thorns in
the way of holy Prophet. Holy Prophet would not say her anything. For some days
he did not found garbage and thorns in the way, he asked his fellows, what the
reason was. They told him that old woman was under the weather. Then holy
Prophet went to ask after her. The woman became very ashamed, and thought that,
I caused him annoyance and that very person has come to ask me how I am feeling
now! The woman was impressed, and then she became Muslim.
One, who treats others in best way, and shows
good morality, becomes the respectable, prominent and honorable man. Morality
brings about good habits, qualities, and reverence. One must try to have good
morality, as it is the one of the best things, which can make one victorious, in the
both worlds, in this world and the hereafter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to
me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the
education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than
what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance,
giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The
remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will
embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the
fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our
attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of
how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.~

9. Corruption
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon
Corruption is one of the major
catastrophes, prevailing in various
countries. Our country has also
fallen prey to it since its
independence. Corruption is such a crime which gives birth
to so many other crimes, such as robberies, killings and so
on. It is the root of all those tribulations which make life
difficult.
Corruption is rising day by day; in almost
every field it has got its solid roots. It
exists in education field,
in business, and in all
other sorts of fields. There
is a great deal of reasons
behind its growth. One of the most
crucial causes is meager salaries. Which
are by no means enough to meet one’s
expenses, and in this inflationary time
one becomes compelled to take bribe to
satisfy one’s needs. An employee earns
less than that he requires, his income is
less and expenses more. He hardly gets
meal of two times through that wage. Besides it, he has to pay fee for his children’s
education, he has to maintain their health, and likewise so many other household tasks are
there for him to carry out. These kinds of responsibilities entail a
great sum of money to be fulfilled. Those duties and
circumstances force him to move to other alternative to carry out
his accountabilities and to meet his expenditures, and that
alternative is corruption.
In order to get rid of corruption government ought to pay its due
attention to it. Government is supposed to keep an eye on every
department, government must keep check and balance system
stern, and government should augment salaries of employees, so that they may never be in
the need of giving or taking corruption.
Every one of us should also be candid and blunt. As, it has
been described in holy Quran, they both the giver and taker of
bribe would be sent to hell. We all must work sincerely in an
attempt to get rid of corruption and to be victorious in the
both worlds, in this world and the hereafter.
10. Pollution
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS University of Sindh
Green soil, fresh air, peaceful atmosphere and pure water,
these blessings everybody absolutely wishes to have. The hurdle in getting these blessings
is pollution. Pollution changes green soil into deserts, fresh air into hazardous gas, peaceful
atmosphere into noisy atmosphere and pure water into poisonous water. When these
blessings are changed into curse by pollution, then, there remains no name of greenery of
the soil; there remains no name of freshness of air, there remains no name of peace of
atmosphere and there remains no name of purity of water. Simultaneously, there remains
scarcity of life.
The modern development of transportation, industrialization and urbanization has
given rise to pollution. These are on the increase, and as a result of these pollution is also
escalating rapidly. The following sorts of pollutions are faced in this day and age.
1. Soil pollution: Soil pollution is caused by garbage, by different kinds of
wastes, by consumer products and so forth. Soil pollution is detrimental to health, and
because of soil pollution there is lack of crops and fruits, for the reason that soil pollution
sabotages the thick layer of the earth, which is indispensable for growing fruits, trees and
other crops. Soil pollution snatches greenery, brings about mess and gives birth to diseases.
In order to keep soil green, trees should be sowed in large number. Trees are not only
gainful for finishing soil pollution, but also a terrific source of getting fruits and wood. So
as to dispose of soil pollution, garbage and other wastes should not be thrown in streets,
and in other places. Streets must be swept, and cleanness ought to be maintained.
2. Air pollution: Smoke which comes out from vehicles, smoke of burning of
dung, tires, and smoke of industries, and all that result in air pollution. In urban areas
automobiles’ smoke and industries’ smoke is on rise, which add fuel to the fire to a greater
extent, and in consequence of that air pollution is getting bigger quickly. In rural areas
people burn dung for numerous purposes, which multiply air pollution into the bargain. Air
pollution is injurious to health, and it eradicates plants. It is also dreadfully perilous to
Ozone layer; it has made happen a whole in ozone layer, on account of that heat amplifies.
In an effort to keep air fresh, and keep Ozone layer safe, it is quite essential to lessen smoke
considerably. Aimless use of vehicles should be restrained, and purposeless burnings of
tires, dung and other things must be avoided, and above and beyond industries’ smoke
ought to be dwindled.
3. Noise pollution Noise pollution is found more in cities in particular. There is
noise of vehicles, noise of aero plains, noise of trains, noise of industrial units, noise of
loud speakers, which is created by street vendors, and noise of horns. Noise pollution
affects sense of hearing, causes anxiety, depression, irritation, blood pressure and
nervousness. With the intention of getting salvation of noise pollution, useless horns, rings
and music should be restricted. Radio ought to be listened in low volume and volume of
television should also be low.
4. Water pollution Water pollution is caused by industries’ chemicals,
wastes, and farms’ wastes, which are dumped in huge amount into seas, rivers and canals.
These chemicals and wastes pollute the water, which devastate marine life. Thousands of
creatures live in water, the polluted water exterminates them, and when humans use that
polluted water and marine food, they become ill, and they also lose their lives. With the
purpose of getting pure water and surviving the thousands of creatures which live in water,
chemicals, garbage and other wastes must not be thrown into seas, rivers and canals.
11. UNEMPLOYMENT
Written by: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS
University of Sindh
Wherever in the world, in any country, where wind of
unemployment blows. It obliterates the nation of the
country; it gives birth to upheaval, it weakens the stability of
the country, it brings to a standstill the development of the
country, and it razes the prosperity of the country.
Unemployment is adversity, in which people
become unable to find jobs. Where
unemployment is itself a convoluted crisis, at the
same time, it swells crimes, troubles and
delinquency, such as robberies, killings, and so
forth. So as to say, unemployment is root of
various problems.
A jobless person, who faces unemployment, simultaneously, he falls prey to so many
torments, for instance, apprehension, starvation and disquiet. A hungry person does not
understand the right and wrong; he is forced by appetite, so he commits crimes, to
extinguish the fire of the belly. He would fill his belly by hook or by cook. He will have
three alternatives to satisfy hunger of his belly, and of his family. He would make his
livelihood by corrupt means, or by fair means, or even he will beg. For surviving in the
world livelihood is so essential, and that can be made through job and work, easily and
legitimately.
Unemployment rises due to plentiful reasons, for example, in this time and age
computers have made the work easy, where ten people used to work now there one
person with computer works. Another cause is this that employees are not adroit for the
work, which is demanded by employers. However, to a
greater extent skillful people are also jobless, owing to
fewer seats, and less opportunities of jobs. A great number
of people, who are educated and skillful are wandering in
the quest of jobs, but are unsuccessful in finding. Many of
them become so disappointed, that they commit suicide,
and many protest for jobs but their cry listens nobody.
When those people who are entitled for jobs, do not get,
then they have the sense of deprivation and failure, which
causes them depression to a great degree, and that is why many of them lose their lives.
In order to dispose of unemployment, technical education should be given, so that if one
fails to get job, he may open his own work. Jobs opportunities must be created in diverse
departments, through different means. Government ought to pay considerable heed to
this problem of unemployment, as it is the root of so many ills, whose we have fallen
victim to. If unemployment decreases significantly, poverty will disappear, crimes will
cease to exist, and all other crises will be no more, and the prosperity would come.
12. HOW TO STUDY
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon
Every student wishes to be clever in subjects he studies, and
wants to have highest marks in all the subjects. But in most
cases, even a good student fails to get maximum marks, he
does not make the grade to achieve the prizes, which are given
to the student, who obtain topmost marks in the class. Why
does it happen? The answer to this question is that, copious
numbers of students don’t know the way of studying.
It is supposed that, the more a student consumes his time
studying, the more he will learn. But it is not so! Lots of students do not show
excellent result, despite the fact that they study for a long time on a regular
basis. Their parents get surprised, seeing
upshot of them. If a student studies for an hour, 6 Learning
he will learn and understand something. If he 5
spends two hours, he will gain more. If he Five Hours
4
expends three hours, he will even discover
Four Hours
more. And if he continues studying for five 3
Three Hours
hours, however, he will still be able to
2
understand and learn. After five hours, if he Two hours Six Hours
keeps on studying even for more time, he will 1
be unable to learn and get any thing. His mind 0 1 hour
will be so exhausted that, it will not take 1
anything in. Instead of remembering, he’ll
forget even what he has learnt. It is a misunderstanding that, if you spend more
time studying, you’ll learn more. There is also another misunderstanding that,
pupils after studying, just sleep to give rest to their mind. As a matter of fact, the
mind does not get its relaxation by sleeping. Our mind keeps working even in
the sleep. That’s why we dream! Even if we are asleep, but the mind works. The
mind gets its relaxation by variety, by change, by doing different things. Such as,
listening a song, going for a walk, and chatting with somebody and all that.
How much time should be spent studying? It depends on the
work, and also on the person. Most learners find their optimum in five hours, and
some even in less time. However five hours are appropriate. For those students
it will be difficult to study for five hours, who study for less time. Little by little
student should try to study for more time. Where to study? Many students prefer
studying in the library than homes. But if you don’t like going there, find such
place where you feel comfortable. It can be your room at home, any park or any
other place.
For learning any subject or getting anything, there should be
enormous zeal and ambition in the man. For the reason that if we are
enthusiastic about anything, we will leave no stone unturned to have that.
Eagerness is of great significance. Many students are having problems of
numerous kinds, such as financial problems, family problems, and love
problems etcetera. As a result of such problems, they can’t pay proper heed to
their studies. However one should keep all problems aside, and let not the
problems affect his studies. Student must maintain his studies in all cases. And
for gaining optimum cognizance and learning more, students should make the
most out of modern technology, as computer and internet.
13. The Role of Enthusiasm in
Success
By: Rizwan Ahmed Memon
Success is such a thing, which every person
can not achieve in the life. No more than
those individuals become victorious, who are
alive with enthusiasm, who face all the
difficulties bravely, and never try to elude
from the challenges, and hurdles, coming in
way of success. The only thing which makes
one intrepid, which develops the ability to
confront problems and challenges rather courageously is ENTHUSIASM.
A myriad of folks relinquish, while encountering the
gigantic tasks to carry out, to be triumphant. But those people never forsake,
who are avid to get a hold of their objectives. Despite the fact that they are
subjected to barriers of numerous kinds, they stick to their work. Their
wholeheartedness makes them feel that, the day, when their dreams would
come true, is not so away.
In the making of Pakistan, Quid-e-Azam had gone
through utmost troubles, and had borne colossal agonies. But it was his ambition
which made him courageous, that he ended up with a self-governing country.
Benazir Butto had a dream to see democracy in Pakistan, in getting democracy,
she lost her life, but did not fear and give up, and it was her enthusiasm which
made her plucky.
Success is not like taking candy from a baby, for
attaining it; one has to deal with immense trials, hardships and obstacles, these
trials, hardships and obstacles are meant to rouse, not discourage, the human
sprit is to grow strong by conflict. Nelson Mandela is a case in point; he fought
against racial discrimination and come upon all such things in his way of
success, ultimately, he took the lead and proved that no white man is better than
black, these are only capabilities which make a distinction.
For achieving the forefront, one should be bold enough
to put up with inconveniences. For the reason that most of our obstacles would
melt away if, instead of cowering before them we should make up our minds to
walk boldly through them. And one should consider the problems guidelines, not
stop signs. Definitely, you have to have darkness, for the dawn to come. All you
need is action. Since some people dream of success, while others wake up and
work hard at it. And again the desire and willingness are the things, which spur
you to action, to do something.
Where the willingness is great, there the difficulties can
not be great. So you should always be all set to face difficulties, since you will
overcome them, because your willingness is great. And God also never sends
us more than we can handle. Always keep in mind that, what you do today, is
important, for the reason that you are exchanging a day of your life for it. And
then, in due course the success would be yours.
14. Little Drops of Water make mighty ocean
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS University of Sindh
A journey of thousand miles is started by taking first step. And if
the steps are taken continuously the day will not be long far, when
the destination will kiss the feet of walker. In the same way, little drops of water
make mighty ocean. No matter how little drops may be, but one day they will
make a mighty ocean. So it is implied that no matter how small your efforts are,
but if they are earnest and constant, then they will one day make you successful,
and will take you from earth to the sky. If you open the pages of history, you will
be inundated with the examples of triumphant people of their times, who made
little but continuous efforts, and the time did justice with them by making them
prominent, and kept their names in the golden pages of history.
Today Pakistan and the other countries of the world are facing problems of
multiple types, from poverty to corruption, from corruption to unemployment and
so on. Can these problems not be solved? I believe there is solution to every
problem in the world! So, be it poverty, corruption or unemployment all the
problems can be resolved, provided that we are sincere to resolve them.
Certainly, these problems will take plenty of time to be solved, but they can be
solved, when little but constant and earnest efforts are made.
A new student who learns a new language, let’s say English, will take time to
master, if he keeps on little but steady study of his subject, then one day he will
be able to speak, read, write and understand. If he learns a new word daily, he
will have plethora of words in his mind by a year. So, continuity and seriousness
are very important for everything.
I take example of myself to prove my own point, I started learning English and
computer in 2005, and by 2006 I got good knowledge of both subjects, and
started teaching too. I would go to center to learn my subjects. My center was
quite away from my village. I used to take van for seven kilometers, and further
about 3 or 4 kilometers used to cross on foot. Someday it used to be sunny and
someday rainy, but I used to go to attend my classes whether it rained or shined,
whether it was summer or winter I kept my struggle nonstop. I had made a record
of not being absent from the class, even for a single day in period of two years.
On this record I was given the honor from the administrator, who claimed that I
was the only student of the institution who has been most regular, punctual,
serous and diligent. These qualities made me entitled for the respect and honor,
still today when I go to visit the institution where I learnt English, I am given even
more respect. So, if I had not been serious, diligent and punctual, I might not
have learnt anything. Today I am student of University of Sindh in department of
Mathematics and Computer Science, in my first year I have won the prize in logo
competition, and have topped in whole the class in English subject. People are
given a start when they know my English, because I am computer scientist, they
wonder and say how it is possible that you speak such good English when you
are student of computer science! I say them; there is no limit to progress because
there is no limit to imagination and hard work. No matter from where you are only
your enthusiasm and hardwork matter. I believe in hardwok.
15. Attitude Makes or Mars Friendship
Author: Rizwan Ahmed Memon BSCS
University of Sindh
A person close to heart,
worthy of praise, and
deserving respect, is he
whose attitude is
splendid. Attitude is a
picture of one’s
personality. It is the way
of conducting, treating
and behaving.
One who possesses a
superb way of talking,
treating and presenting
oneself, takes the place in
other’s hearts. And people wish to make such person their friend. A man is
known by his comportment. One can easily get whether he is polite, caring or
rude, by his behavior. However, it is not always easy. Those people, who use
courteous words, treat cordially, and keep smile while talking with us, remain in
our minds, and in the hearts. We always have tendency to meet them and spend
some time with them. And those who show disgust, speak angrily, and behave
rudely with us; they lose the place from our hearts.
Here I would like to give example of my own friend, who used to be my best
friend. In early stages of our friendship, my friend was quite considerate; he used
to care for me. Whenever I became worried, he came to me and used to inquire
the reason of my worry, and would say me to tell him my worries, so that I may
feel quite relief. He used to make call to me everyday several times. And asked
me what I was doing. His manners made a great place in my heart, and high
respect in my eyes. My mornings began by listening his voice. He used to call
me early in the morning and talked for long time. Even my family members were
under the illusion that there is any girl, who has fallen in love with me, that is why
she calls me all the time. My evenings always passed by meeting him. If I didn’t
go to him, he would call me to come. And we used to go for walk to river Indus.
We became so close friends that if we didn’t meet on any day, we would
complain each other that why you did not come. We shared our happiness and
sorrow together. Before this friend I used to pass my time alone, by reading
books, operating computer, teaching English, and by doing such other activities.
But when he came in my life, I felt that, this is the friend who I had ever needed.
After his friendship, my loneliness ceased to exist, I never felt myself alone. We
had often together breakfasts and lunches. We used to exchange our books,
ideas, and all other things. When we met, we used to laugh, joke and play. I still
remember every moment that I spent with that friend. In the summer, we used to
sit in dense shadow tree in fields. In the winter, we used to sit in sunlight in the
park. He used to say me if I ever left him, he would not make any friend in his
16. life. He would not depend on anybody; he would understand the whole world is
unfaithful. He used to say me to send him at least five mobile messages
everyday, because he didn’t want to see his mobile having no message of mine.
I got used to meet him; I became habitual of making call to him, if I didn’t meet
him I felt great disquiet. For me it is so hard to define it. In my prayers I ever
thanked God for granting me matchless friend. Such great, pure and strong
relation of our friendship never seemed to be broken. But it broke up, for the
reason of BEHAVIOR. That person, who was always so crazy about meeting
me, left meeting. Who couldn’t live without making call to me, he left making call.
Who used to care to great extent for me, left caring. Who sent me messages
everyday, stopped sending messages. And imagine how hard it was for me to
live without the person, who became my companion in loneliness. Who provided
me the shoulder to weep on, who became only the way to remove my loneliness.
My friend’s polite behavior changed into rude behavior. Despite that I kept going
to him, and he never seemed willing to meet. He used to use harsh words with
me. And this act hurt me greatly. He kept his mobile off most of the time. If we
came across, he spoke angrily and left quickly. I wanted to know why he does
so. What wrong thing I have done to him, that he hurts me. Truly, there was no
such wrong thing from my side. And then again my loneliness started, I am so
different and special my nature doesn’t go much with others. That is why I often
remain alone, upstairs in my room. Before my friend, I used to be alone but that
loneliness used not to upset me as much as now, after him. I was all the time
lost in thought why my friend did so with me, and yet I have not found the
answer. Perhaps, he was selfish, or he got someone else instead of me. Now I
have also settled in my alone life. Because whenever I met him he offended me,
his such behavior lost the place which he had in my heart. His treating in rude
way lost the respect, which I had in my eyes for him. In front of others he used to
disrespect me. These all things brought about a complete break up. But I still
miss him and will miss him rest of my life.
So, my true example reminds you all, that you have to be caring, polite and true
to your friends. Use courteous words with the friends. Keep smile on your lips
while talking with them. And never try to play with others feelings as my friend
did. Because God likes those people, who are kind, selfless, and true to his
slaves. Attitude is that thing, which makes or mars friendship, as my friend’s
polite attitude made us friends, and his rude attitude caused my break up with
him.
