ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

Image
 The phrase "All That Glitters Is Not Gold" is very common. It tells us that anything which seems good to us is not good at all. Like for example if we go to market and we saw a thing which seems attractive so we strive to get that thing but later we realize that it is not much good. Recently I was reading a newspaper, there I read that one person was very innocent and the other person was opposite. The evil person asked the innocent person to steal someone's expensive possessions and we will share half of them. The person was jobless, although he was well-educated but due to miserable financial conditions he agreed to him. He stole many goods and did stealing for about years but later the evil person said to the innocent one that you haven't bought the possessions which I asked for so he denied to share the possessions with him, although it was evil man's pre-planned that not to share the goods with him. Another example of this phrase can be good appearance. If s...

A MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZED THE TRUTH THAT WAS HIDDEN FROM YOU

 It was the warm sunny morning of April 2016. As per my daily routine I woke up for going to school. I took the piece of bread for breakfast and my van came. I was going when suddenly my grandfather started coughing very badly. And I did not know that this is the last time I am seeing him, as I was very close to him more than my parents. I asked my parents that can I stay at home for my grandfather but they disagreed and said that today is my last paper so I should go. I agreed with their reason. I went to school but deep inside I was very much worried about my grandfather's health. I came to home after giving paper no one was at home.

MOTHER'S DAY 💘

Mother's day is observed on 9 May each year. It is celebrated so that children's can show their love, honour, respect and gratitude towards their mothers. Mothers are the best creature created by Allah Almighty. It is also said that: "PARADISE LIES AT THE FEET OF MOTHERS!" She is that sole being who has more trust in us than we have in ourselves. Many children are excited about this day because it is the only day in which they can force their mothers to take rest and children will do the work to show love and respect. She is the only one who suffers a lot for her child. The best way to celebrate Mother's day is by giving hand-made gifts like cards or any crafts we know. We can also bake cake for our mothers. It is truly a shame for those who do not value their mothers as they should. We should all strive to make our parents especially our mothers proud and happy by following her teachings and becoming a good and successful person. Our mothers are like a security b...
