ESSAY about LIFE

(2)

Life is beautiful but not always easy, it has problems, too, and the challenge lies in facing them with courage,
letting the beauty of life act like a balm, which makes the pain bearable, during trying times, by providing hope.

Happiness, sorrow, victory, defeat, day-night are the two sides of the me coin. Similarly life is full of moments of
joy, pleasure, success and comfort punctuated by misery, defeat, failures and problems. There is no human being
on Earth, strong, powerful, wise or rich, who has not experienced, struggle, suffering or failure.

No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment – a celebration of being alive, but one should be always ready to face
adversity and challenges. A person who has not encountered difficulties in life can never achieve success.

Difficulties test the courage, patience, perseverance and true character of a human being. Adversity and hardships
make a person strong and ready to face the challenges of life with equanimity. There is no doubt that there can be
no gain without pain. It is only when one toils and sweats it out that success is nourished and sustained.

Thus, life is and should not be just a bed of roses; thorns are also a part of it and should be accepted by us just as
we accept the beautiful side of life.

The thorns remind one of how success and happiness can be evasive and thus not to feel disappointed and
disheartened rather remember that the pain of thorns is short-lived, and the beauty of life would soon overcome
the prick of thorns.

Those, who are under the impression that life is a bed of roses are disillusioned soon and become victims of
depression and frustration. One who faces difficulties with courage and accepts success without letting it go to its
head is the one who experience real happiness, contentment and peace in life.

Those, who think, that good times last forever, easily succumb to pressure during difficulties. They do not put in
required hard work and efforts because they break down easily.

You can take the example of a student, who burns the mid night oil, makes sacrifices and resists temptations so
that he can perform well. Similarly, a successful executive has to face the ups and downs of life, not forgetting that
life is a mix of success and failure, joy and sorrow.

If he loses hope during difficult times, he would not achieve success and would be replaced by others. Even the
strongest Kings and Emperors have had their cup of woes.

Life has not been a bed of roses for them. The adage ‘Uneasy lays the head that wears the crown’ has been rightly
used for people, who are successful and are enjoying power and authority.

To sum up, life is beautiful just as roses but it has challenges which are like thorns and have to be faced and
overcome by all. Those, who accept these, challenges and succeed, are the ones, who know how to live life in its
true sense. Thus, enjoy life but also be prepared to bear the pricks of pain.

In life, we come across many challenges. Some of them make us who we are while some tell us what we
should be. Sometimes it is the opposite. There will be struggle, there will be bad days. Days which would
never seem to end. Days which would go on and on, which would keep hurting us till the end. Many of
us actually most would give up but the people who wont will be the ones to face the brighter side of the
day.

The night is darkest before dawn but how can we forget the rainbow after the rain?

We understand to love, to give, to endure, to find pleasure, to please but what we do not understand is
ourselves during all of this. Life can lie to us and no one will stop it, it can play all sorts of games with us
without us even knowing because there is no one controlling it. But whatever happens in life happens
for good. Good of all in it. Whatever decisions life takes for us is already planned by it and we must learn
to accept it.

We must come in terms with the fact that no matter how hard we try to fit in this imperfect world, it will
never acknowledge us for who we are. We always feel like becoming everything else around us. But
what we do not realize is that everyone wants to be happy in the end of the day. They just want to find
someone who will love them and who will stand by them throughout. Throughout the stormy nights,
throughout the lonely days, throughout all the cold memories.
 EASSAY about LOVE

(1)

People often talk about love, but most of us are not fully aware about its true essence. There is lot of
misconception about efficacy of love that holds us back to generate loving feelings towards others.

Love is not possessiveness. People look love as a possession that has to be acquired and preserved. To
expect that others ought to provide it to us so that our life is filled with love is the biggest fallacy, which
is cause of much unhappiness. It is not like any other material thing to be demanded from others. Even if
other person offers us plenty of love, we may not be able to feel it. It is normal to blame others for not
loving us, but much depends on our inner self whether it has capability to feel it from others.

Love is a feeling of well being and of good emotions. It is an activity that keeps us in good spirit and is
liked to our emotions. Let us engage and create feeling of love by making self capable through
appropriate changes in our dealings with others. There is no other way to love and be loved. The
physical intimacy devoid of good feelings is not love but lust. People often fail to conceive love as pious
in essence. While dealing with others, let us take care that our dealings make them cheerful, by helping
them to come out of their problem, appreciate their successes and be grateful for help received from
them. All these activities are to express love. The benefit of giving love to others is that it appeals to our
heart and makes us connected to others, provides stability and security, removes fear and gives a feeling
of being good towards other people. One can get to know love by first generating such feelings of being
good to others. How can a person feel love from others if he is filled with ego, anger and selfish
tendencies? These negative emotions suppress inner urge to love others.

Love is a divine energy. I had a very vague idea about love initially. As I tried to understand more about
it, a completely different perspective and thinking develops that explains the true essence of love. I have
come to know from spiritual literature that love is God and God is love. It appears too abstract in the
first instance, but more we tend to think of God will make us to love God and all other creations of God.
It is like energy flowing within us derived from Ultimate that thinks positive and helps in inner
purification. Albert Einstein discovered energy mass equation that explains interconnection of material
and energy. It revolutionized the thinking of present century by using a small amount of mass to derive a
tremendous energy. Hence, along with our material existence, somewhere we are also part of the divine
energy lying within us as dormant. Logically, this divine energy which is nothing but love brings us close
to Ultimate. I can imagine that every one of us has a great capacity of this divine love within us, but it is
hidden, untapped and misdirected. Great saints have worked on human beings from time to time by
developing intense feeling of love and concern for others. This has helped them to achieve higher levels
of spiritual growth and closeness with the ultimate. The true meaning of love is inner purification of
soul. This is the real purpose of love.

Love is nothing but inner need and the reason for feeling happiness. Fill the requirement of soul by
being in love with other person. The other person to whom you love is only an object to be loved; it is
our own emotions that create love for that person. People love someone if they feel that person is an
object of love. This feeling comes out of inner need. This is the reason that when the object of love is
same, but still different people react to it in a different manner. A person may become an object of love
for someone but similar feelings may be missing in the heart of other person. The feeling of love resides
in us; other person becomes only a facilitator to bring out this feeling. Irrespective of how good other
person may be, love will have to originate from you to create that loving emotion. All other things follow
thereafter. These emotions come when we feel need of love as against negative emotions of anger and
hate.

The advantages of giving love to the other person are essentially to fulfill our inner need and to generate
happiness. If we demand love from other person, we may not be able to feel it when our inner condition
is filled with negative feelings. Love is an activity of thinking good about others, doing all that can be
done to make others feel good and acting in a manner that other person feels comfortable. It is not
something to be demanded as it cannot be preserved; and we cannot take it or feel it unless we make
ourselves capable for it.

Everyone feels impact of love in their life. When you think good of other person, you are in same
wavelength as your inner self (soul), which makes you feel light and joyful. Such feeling is love. It is not
easy for a person to love someone as it takes time to understand and then develop liking of that person.

Media influences understanding of various issues in life including perception of love. Love has different
connation in media, which is not actual reality. The people in love as shown in media are projected
somewhat special; it makes us to realize incapable of offering or getting that sort of love. People often
adore type of love which is without any argument, full of sacrifices and tolerance from the other person.
The media glorifies love and shows loving couple who do so many unusual things to attract each others’
attention. It affects perception of love.

We imagine women in love as beautiful, sacrificing and never arguing. The media depicts love based on
physical attraction. In actual life situation, things are different. Love does not mean that there will not
be any differences and the other person will always remain dumb. It does not mean that a person not
very handsome or beautiful will be less attractive and loving in nature. The attractiveness of a person is
depicted from overall personality that is a combination of physical looks, positive attitude and
confidence. The love stories as reflected in media and narrated by other persons do mostly narrate
physical aspect of love. It does not emphasize on the emotional closeness and spiritual part of the love
which is more subtle and enduring. Our perception of love is thus limited in nature.

Life is not always about happy or sad situation. It has its own moments of ups and down. How to adjust
in each situation and take it in stride will greatly affect the quality of life and relationship with other
people. The perception of love as being devoid of any problem, trouble and pain is thus misconception.
People feel more and more pain as they are not able to live in love in relationship with other people.
Our perception of love has to change. We have to live with all the problems that we face in unison, sort
out our differences and make change in our life style to bring semblance of love and tolerance in our
attitude. We have to meet the need of soul to develop spiritual love for other persons which goes
beyond the physical attraction.
 EASSAY about VACATION

It such a great vacation to have with my family during vacation days. I know that everybody is always
looking for a class to end even a school year just started, because this is the time that I unwind from the
stress that I get during the class hours. During summer vacation I always tend to be lazy like sleeping late
at night and other things that I didnt do during school days. Summer is always fun because I always have
a time with my family.

Every summer vacation I always feel the moment because its the time that I’m free from doing hws, sws,
projects, and reviewing in quiz from different subjects just to pass. But what important to me is the
lessons that the teachers told about us life and on how to apply it in ourselves. It’s also happy and nice
to meet new friends from other places.

I always wish to have a great summer vacacation. But this year is one of the most memorable year that I
never expect because after a year we swam again at the beach for our family outing, it’s really fun to
bond with them especially with my other cousins that I usually see during vacation. At the same time I
am happy to celebrate my birthday during our family outing because we are complete. I wish that day
will not be end beacuse of the happiness that I only experience during vacation. Even though I cannot
invite my classmates because I understand that its an easter sunday and they have a family bonding too.

I am still happy and contented because they great me at FB and twitter while others message me with a
very heart warming. Although not all days during summer vacation is memorable I always told to myself
to enjoy because if the school year begins I cannot able to do the things that I usually do during summer
vacation. It such a blessing to enjoy the every seconds of my life during summer vacation. I also review
for the UPCAT together with my classmate. Reviewing at the review center is fun because you can meet
new friends.

After 2 months from relaxing my mind and body from stress I’m hoping for the best year as a senior
since it’s only 10 months that I’m staying at school. I am hoping that the summer vacation helps me to
improve. I’m trying to be mature enough to face all the problems and stress that I will be experience in
10 months. I hope that this year will be start of facing my senior world as a strong student.

Vacations are a time we use to recharge our batteries. A time to spend with the ones you love and build
lifelong memories. There are many different options to consider when choosing where and how to
vacation. Everyone has different things they consider enjoyable or relaxing. In this essay I will discuss
different types of vacations and point out some benefits of each. Some people enjoy vacationing at the
beach. The warm climate is one of the biggest selling points when deciding on a beach
