ESSAY NO.1: “MY LAST DAY AT SCHOOL”

“The first day of school the day when the countdown of the last day of school begins”

School is a sacred place. It educates the young people. It is a place where the concrete foundations of a nation are laid down. Apparently, it imparts education, but secretly it grooms the young generation for life and its weighty responsibilities. It is natural for humans to love the place, where they spend some time. Children spend a substantial part of their lives in schools. Therefore, they love their schools like their homes. They develop an emotional association with their schools. Moreover in school, the students live like a family. It is very difficult for them to separate from each other. But a day comes when they have to desert the school and all its charms. It is the time of real sadness for them. However, they pass this ordeal with great patience. I remember my last at school. It was a pleasant day of the “3^rd March, 1982.” “I’ve always loved the first day of the school better than the last day of school. Firsts are best because they beginnings”.
The school hall was decorated. A platform was raised and chairs arranged in many rows. I had been the monitor of my class. I was also given a place in the first row soon, the hall was full. The occasion was highly emotional. All the outgoing students looked very serious. Everyone seemed to be missing the school days on the one hand and looking forwards into the unknown land of failure, all uncertain and vague. No doubt, the new life, that is college life, seemed more glamorous ahead of us but taking the responsibilities of new life seemed more difficult.

It was a gloomy day for me and my class mates. My friends and I were aware of the grim reality that we were about to leave the school forever. This separation was so painful, sad and depressing, for all of us.

“School may be hard annoying and irritating. But admit it; you are going to miss it when it ends”.

Our stay, we had been so excited and cheerful. Any idea that a day would come to separate as like that. Some of us were so emotional that they started weeping. Some had tears in their eyes but they controlled themselves. We decided to depart in the same joyful mood as we had been living there for the last five years. First of all, we planned to meet our teachers. We obtained their autographs in our diaries. After this, we had a round of the school to see every corner and nook of it. The principal presided over the function. Since, the examination was at hand so we could hardly lose any item in making long speeches and unnecessary formalities. The principal spoke for ten minutes. He recalled the years long associated of the outgoing class with rest of the school and exhorted other class to follow the example of our class in the best traditions of the school.

There was a tea party. The students of the 9^th class were host to it. I was told to speak a few words other while I did. But soon my heart began to throb at the idea of parting. I recalled how, we had read, played and sat together. How we were displeased at one moment and were the same friends at next. “Sometimes, at home I talk in my sleep, but at school, I sleep while others are talking.”

Speaking at such functions was a maiden experience in my life. The hosts gave us a farewell speech. The monitor of their class, Ayesha spoke highly of us. She recalled the guidance which we had been giving them from time to time. She said that thought we were parting from the school this year yet they would join us next year in this great school of life world. Party over, a group photograph was arranged. We were free now. I deposited my borrowed books with the library and got a clearance certificate. The joyful attitude of my heart gave place to anxiety and seriousness. It was the time to say good bye to each other. We embraced each other for the long time. Some of us could not control themselves and began to weep bitterly.

“Never say good bye because saying good bye means going away and going away means for getting.”

ESSAY NO.2: “Sports and Games”

The games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and of course, self-esteem. Plus, the games are a great opportunity for people to participating in sports that normally won’t.

In the past sports were regarded as the outdoor recreational pastimes, such as fishing, shooting and hunting etc. on the other hand , games were regarded as organized contest played by the team or individuals according to certain rules. However, the distinction between sports and games disappeared with the passage of time. The two terms are now often used, interchangeably.

Games are common to all cultures and countries. They have gained cardinal importance in physical and recreational activities. Games like chess, card games increase the mental health of a person as it develops spontaneity and response time of a person. As a result person’s mind can make a decision under pressure.

Some games such as football, cricket and hockey have won enormous popularity in this era. The youth of today wants to assert themselves. They want some outlet for the presentation of their unrivalled faculties. Games and sports provide them with plenty of such opportunities. But they may be dangerous, because any injury can occur while playing these sports. Therefore, we should wear proper safety gear before, playing it. Moreover it can be harmful if you’re playing it while you are sick. Games make people disciplined. They learn to obey and uphold laws. Games promote the team spirit in players. They keep them united. They learn how to cooperate. The players forget their tiny difference, for a common cause. They show an infinite patience in their doings.

“Sports and games widen the mental horizon of players and make them issue followers of the rule of law.”

There is a dark of the picture also. Games may cause certain harms. Sometimes the players do ignore the rules of decency, for their own victory. They aim to win game by hook or crook. They practice illegal and immoral tricks to this end. Second, too much interest in games may spoil some intelligent students. They may ignore their studies to become good athletes. In this way they become neither good student, nor good athletes. In order to play any sport, you have to take out time from your daily schedule. This may be difficult for some people. As they work day and night to fulfill the needs, of their family. So, a person needs to out off some things from their busy, schedule to take out time to play a sport.

ESSAY NO.3: “MY HOUSE”

I am blessed to be protected by four walls, and a roof. It is my parent’s hard work that has given us this blessing. Many people in today’s world are always complaining about things they don’t have. The person who has a house wants a bungalow, wants a palace. The one wh0 is living in a palace wants an island. This never-ending cycle goes on. However, if we look at the people below us rather than those who are above us, we will be happier.

“My home is heaven; I’m just travelling through this world.”

Having a house is an underrated blessing. If you haven’t realized it yet, you can go and ask any person who doesn’t have a house. Only then will you realize what a great blessing it is to have a house. Houses don’t necessarily have to be luxuriously filled with the latest amenities. A house is complete if you have a roof over your head. Moreover, if you have your loved ones around, then there can be no greater blessing. You must realize the importance of your house before it gets too late.

ESSAY NO.8: “HEALTH”

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship”

Health was earlier said to be the ability of the body functioning well. However, as time evolved, the definition of health also evolved. It can’t be stressed enough that health is the primary thing after which everything else follows. When you maintain good health, everything else falls into place. It is a great blessing of ALLAH. A healthy man enjoys the beauties of nature. He leads a happy and delightful life. Nothing can rejoice or relax an ailing man. Such a man loses all the charms of life. Life becomes dull, drab and dreary for him. He him-self becomes an unbearable burden on others. Sometimes, he desires to die to avoid the pangs of such a painful life. Therefore, nothing is more precious than health. Maintaining good health is dependent on a lot of factors. It ranges from the air you breath to the type of people you choose to spend your time.

“Health is like money, we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.”

It is said that health is wealth. So, we should pay an almost heed to the maintenance of our physical health. This means being fit physically and in the absence of any kind of disease or illness. When you have good physical health, you will have a longer life span. One may maintain their physical health by having a balanced diet. Do not miss out on the essential nutrients; lake each of them in appropriate quantities. Good food, calm atmosphere, fresh air, pure water, regular physical exercise and better sanitary conditions are the bare essential for health. You must exercise daily. It may be for ten minutes only but never miss it. It will help your body maintain physical health. Moreover, don’t consume junk food all the time. Don’t smoke or drink as it has serious harmful consequences. Try to take adequate sleep regularly instead of using your phone. Take part in all good physical activities. Sports, games and morning walk are such activities. These factors make a man healthy, fit, active and smart. It is as important as good food.

“Health is the crown on the good person’s head that only the ill person can see.”

Subsequently, social health and cognitive health are equally important for the overall well-being of a person. A person can maintain their social health when they effectively communicate well with others. Moreover, when a person attends social gatherings, he will definitely have good social health. Similarly, our cognitive health refers to performing mental process effectively. To do that well, one must always eat healthy and play brain games like chess, Puzzles and more to sharpen the brain. This health alone is not everything. There is this stigma that surrounds mental health. People do not take mental illnesses seriously. To be completely fit, one must also be mentally fit. When people completely discredit mental illnesses, it creates a negative impact. For instance, you never tell a person with cancer to get over it and that it’s all someone dealing with depression. Similarly, we should treat mental health the same as physical health. Thus we need to be able to recognize the sings of mental illnesses. A laughing person does not equal a happy person. We must not consider mental illnesses as a taboo and give it the attention it deserves to save people’s life.

“Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health.”

The improvement of health of the entire population is the first and foremost duty of the government. The government should protect the public from the environment health hazards. Better sanitary condition should be ensured. Good food, pure water and clean atmosphere should be ensured. The government should educate the public about health. It should provide the people with high-quality health services.

ESSAY NO.9: “QUAID-E-AZAM”

“Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which we hope other will share with us.”

Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam) was the founder of Pakistan. He was an incarnation of sincerity, selflessness, sacrifice and sympathy. He worked earnestly for the establishment of Pakistan. He was born on December”25, 1876” in a house known as Wazir Mansion located in Karachi. His father, name was “Jinnah Poonja” and mother was “Mithibai” he belonged to a merchant family. He was a great politician and a well-known lawyer of his time. He struggled a lot for the freedom of the Muslims of sub-continent on behalf of his extraordinary affairs; he was rewarded with the title of “Quaid-e-Azam” (The father of his nation) by MaulanaMazharuddin. He received his early education in his native city Karachi. Then he proceeded to England for higher education. He was a born-fighter. As a student, he struggled very hard. He had been a brilliant student throughout his academic career. His motto was “work, work and more work.” After his return from England, he started practising as a lawyer in Bombay. In the beginning, he could not become a successful lawyer. But he did not lose his heart in the face of adverse circumstances. He went on struggling for years. As last, his dedication and diligence brought him the sweet fruit of success. He became one of the leading lawyer of India then he took interest in politics. Once the advocate general of Bombay invited him to work for his Bar and after six months offered a salary of 1500 rupees per month, which was the huge amount at that time but he gently refused the offer and stated that he planned to earn 1500 daily and proved it possible in future by his flawless efforts. But as a, Governor General of newly state Pakistan, he fixed 1 rupee as his monthly salary. He was the man of the judiciary and sensible personality. He was a man of his words and the greatest spokesman; he always stood like a rock in front of opponents and never lay down.

“Don’t believe in taking the right decision. I take a decision and make it right.”

Jinnah started his political career with India National congress in “1906”. He was a great advocate of the Hindu-Muslim unity. But soon, he realized the hypocritical attitude of the Hindus. Therefore, he resigned from the congress and joined the Muslim league. Then, he started his efforts for the freedom of Muslims of British India and planned to create an independent state where Muslims could feel the breath of freedom. The major strength was the unity of all Muslims organizations in this freedom war, and it is the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam which unites all the Muslims of the sub-continent on the same agenda of having a separate state. The creation of the Pakistan is the result of bloodshed of thousands of freedom fighters, as well as the leadership of Jinnah.

“(In 1930 he said)

If you want to make this great state of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, for gelling the past, burying the hatchet, you are bounded to success.”

In 1930, he became an undisputed leader of all the Muslims of sub-continent and started to lead Muslim league in 1933. In 1940, Pakistan resolution was drafted by Muslim league at Minare-Pakistan in Lahore which has been proved as a back bone in the war of freedom. After the Pakistan resolution passed, he worked day and night and did not worry about his health which was given down day to day.

“Remember the difference between a boss and leader; a boss says go a leader says let’s go!”

He kept it secret and never disclosed it to anyone; his sacrifice was not for his own interest but for the whole Muslim nation. It was due to his wise leadership and vigorous effort that Pakistan came into being on August “14, 1947.” He was fighting with tuberculosis for many years but never made it his weakness, died on September “11, 1948.” Just 13 months after the creation of his beloved home land.

“My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality and I am sure that with your support and cooperation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest nations of the world (Quaid-e-Azam).”

ESSAY NO.10: “MY FAVORITE BOOK”

“Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

Books are really a superb source of knowledge. They soothe us in sorrows and solace us in sadness. They are an invaluable asset for humans. They prove to be sincere companions in solitude and seclusion. Our character building depends mainly upon the right selection of books. People read books to feed their mind that is hungry for knowledge. I am book lover and I love reading lots of books. I have a list of my favorite books. But one book is very close to me and it’s a Holy book in the religion of Islam. The Holy Quran is the last script of ALLAH. The Holy Quran is the sacred book of the Muslims. The word “Quran” means “reading.” It is a book not written by human being. It was sent for human guidance by ALLAH Almighty, through our last Prophet (S.A.W.W). Hazrat Gabriel was used to carrying the message of God. It is the book widely read in the world.

“The Quran is the only book where the author is in love with the reader.”

The Holy Quran is divided into 30 Paras and 144 surahs. Each surah contains a different number of verses. Out of 144 surahs 86 were revealed at Makkah and 28 at Madinah. The opening chapter of the book is regarded with special reverence by the Muslims. It is called a “Surah Fateh”. It contains seven verses. We recite it in our prayers. The Holy Quran provides a complete code of life. Every corner of life is discussed in it with detail. It tells us what is right and what is wrong. It teaches us truth, non-violence, love, meditation, compassion etc. it also teaches us love for neighbours and self-sacrifice. This Holy book is a sort of history. There are the stories of old nation n in it an exhaustive discussion on belief, worship, business and morality in the subject-matter of the Holy Quran. There are also some surprising things that have been discussed in the Quran and the current science has proved them now.

“While you are reading the Holy Quran you’re being advised by ALLAH such a beautiful and warm feeling.”

The Holy Quran is written in Arabic which is a very forceful language. Its style is highly impressive and appealing. It is so perfect and lofty that neither men nor Jinn can produce a single verse similar to it. The book wasn’t sent for the Arabs alone, but for the whole world without distinction of color creed or caste. The book is our best guide. It is full of wisdom, truth, facts, philosophy, beauty, grace and love. This book covers all the aspects of life and gives guidance on all topics. It is a divine sacred book for the spiritual, social and personal guidance of human being. This book is unchanged and still carrying the same content. That’s why Islamic scholars tell “The Holy Quran is the perfect solution of life.”

“Holy Quran is a wealth that no wealth can equal it, and there will be no poverty after it.”

The Holy Quran is an everlasting book. ALLAH has declared in the Holy book that it is He who is responsible for his safety. This is why no one has succeeded as yet to alter even the smaller verse of the Holy Book. It was compiled during the caliphate of “HazratUsman (R.A.)” who was interested in its compilation. The “Arabs” and other signs were put on the Holy book by the two disciples of Hazrat “Ali (R.A.)” under his guidance. Many Muslims learn this voluminous book by heart. They are called “Hafiz-e-Quran.” This is a miracle of this book. Overall, the Holy Quran is the solution for a complete life. Therefore, we should recite the Holy Quran daily.

“This is the book about which there is no doubt, guidance for those who are conscious of ALLAH.”

ESSAY NO.11: “MY AMBITION”

“Ambition is more than mere desire. It is desire plus incentive, determination and will to achieve the desire.”

It is a well-known fact that a person without an aim is a person without a life. All the creatures in this universe have one or other specific aim. It is common for all things. As the human is the best creature among them all, he has given a right to select that what he wants to do in his life. The mindset of each and every person is of its own type. Therefore, his aim of life will also be different from others. In a general term purpose or goal is an aim. A person in his childhood might want to be famous astronaut or a movie star or a police officer or something like that. Aim means to intend, to try, or to aspire. Each aim generally starts with a declaration of a setting the goal, then breaking it in to smaller pieces over a set timelines thus; to achieve it one has to overcome many obstacles and setbacks from time to time.

“Ambition believes in you even when no one else in the world does.”

There is a popular saying that a man without an aim is like a aim without rudder facing danger. Thus, similarly a man without aim cannot reach towards his goal of life. He stumbles in his way of life. Certainly, it is done by finding out what truly matters to you. Your purpose is to show others how you can live your life in the best possible manner. Different people have different aims. Some persons may want to become a doctor while others may want to start his own business. Likewise, if engineering appeals to some, the army man be the attraction for others. Some aim at becoming a teacher while social services or politics suit other. So, different people adopt different aims according to their indication or taste or perception about life.

“A dream without ambition is like a car without gas ………. You are not going anywhere.”

It is the responsibility of the parents and the teachers to persuade their wards to select a profession according to their aptitude. So, we should be very cautious while deciding on our aim. Certainly, this is most difficult problem that a young man faces in the selection of profession. The person does not choose his aim rightly; he will be always misfitted in his life. Thus, the best aim would be one in which one feels happy always and he can do something worthwhile. Also, at the same time, he ensures about bright prospectus in life. Thus, it is a fact that setting an aim and acting to achieve it is very important for a successful life. It motivates us. It forces us to be hardworking, honest, punctual and steadfast in our efforts. Every person decides at some point what he wants to become. And in this era of modernization, I wish to do a master’s information technology. A great reduction has been brought by information technology in various fields of life. It has modernized our life and changed our attitudes. It has converted the world into a global village.

“Right aim means right life and the wrong aim means wrong life.”

Instant and swiftest means of communications have changed our life-style altogether. The reason why I want to be an expert In information technology. First of all, it is the need of the hour. This field is the most popular and emerging branch of contemporary knowledge. After the 11 September catastrophe of the USA, Islam has become the most widely discussed issue throughout the world. The anti-Islamic propaganda campaign is flourishing through various media. Being a Muslim, it is my duty to defend my religion. This I can do effectively and forcefully by information technology. This will help me in preaching my religion and removing miss conceptions about it. It will also become a source of my cordial and spiritual satisfaction. I have chosen this profession only keeping in view the sensitive and serious nature of the issue. By adopting this profession, I would be able to refute all charges falsely leveled against Islam. Besides this, I would be able to attract the non-Muslims towards Islam through the internet and e-mails. I work day and night to achieve my goal. I am sure that after four years, I will become a competent master in information technology. I have special aptitude and talent for this field. May ALLAH help me in achieving my aim and keeping my intentions in the right way (Ameen)!

“The aim of life is self-development to realize one’s nature perfectly that is what each of us in here for.”

ESSAY NO.12: “MY HOBBY”

“Hobbies are great distractions from the worries and troubles that plague daily living.”

Hobby is something that we do mere for joy and delight. Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. They occupy our minds when we are free and also make us happy. Hobbies are our escape from the real world that makes us forget our worries. Moreover, they make our lives interesting and enjoyable. If we look at it, all our hobbies are very useful for us. They teach us a lot of things about different stuff. They also help in expanding our knowledge. In today’s fast and competitive world, we often get time for ourselves. Over time, our schedule gets very dull and monotonous. That is why we need to indulge in something in between to keep our minds fresh and active. What’s better than a hobby for this? One of the main benefits of having a hobby is that it is a major stress-buster. You actually enjoy doing it and it satisfies your soul. In other words, without a hobby your life becomes an unhealthy cycle locking any excitement or spark. Hobbies offer you great opportunities to take a break and forget the worries of your life. They allow you to explore yourself and realize your potential, in different areas. Moreover, hobbies can also be a source of extra income.

“Hobbies are for wimps who don’t have the guts to follow their passions.”

For instance, if you like painting, you can actually sell your art to make some extra money. Likewise, if you have a knack for dancing, you may teach dance classes to people on your holidays. This way your hobby will benefit you both spiritually and financially as well as different people adopt different hobbies according to their interests. If I were to pick a favorite hobby of mine all of the money I have, I will definitely pick gardening. I have made a lawn in front and a garden at the back of my house. In the garden, there are many kinds of trees. Many kinds of flowers bloom in the garden. These flowers show different shades of colours. They give of sweet smell and present a beautiful view. Green trees, grassy lawn and flowers of various colours add to the beauty of my house.

“Gardening also taints you to think ahead and care for other living organisms, responsibly. Truly infinite are the life lessons this hobby has to offer.”

The fluttering leaves and the dancing braches of the trees attract the viewers. A fountain plays in the middle of this garden. The clean grass of the lawn also looks wonderful. In the morning, when I walk on the grass wet with dew drops, I feel fresh and happy. These dew drops sparking in the sunshine look like pearls. I daily devote some of my precious time to the maintenance of my garden. I dig the beds of flowers, trim the grass and apply manures to the plants.

“I like gardening, its place, I find myself when I need to love myself.”

Sometimes, I spray the plants and prune the rose plants. I love to work and sit in my garden and lawn. My garden is a source of peace and joy for me. I also participate actively in the plantation scheme of the government every year. I have planted hundreds of trees at different places throughout the city. After planting these trees i also take care of them. I wish to make my hobby my carrier. I feel we all should do things which we enjoy doing. Everyone is running after money and in this race they give up their liking and preferences. I have learned from this race and decided not to take part in it. I wish to take the road less crawled by and take on challenges most people don’t dare to. In short my hobby of gardening makes me feel alive and well. It is the only thing I look forward the most to. Thus, I hope to achieve my dream of being a professional garden and making for people who wish to make careers out of their hobbies.

“My hobby is gardening because; I love to be connected with nature. Whenever I see flowers, butterflies on them trees around me I feel joy a kind of pleasure and that gives some refreshment.”
