1.CO-EDUCATION
“Education is the best gift you could ever receive, because once you
have it, no one can ever take it from you.”

Co-education has been a very controversial topic that has always disturbed out educational
authorities. The modern concept of education and the changing needs of the age have bestowed a great
significance upon it. Co-education means the education of boys and girls together in the same institution. It
was first introduced in Switzerland and later on, it became very popular all over the world.
The world wide discussion of co-education has brought forth two schools of thought who sharply
differ in their views and opinions about co-education. The supporters (proponents) of co-education favour it
mainly on two grounds. One is economical and the other is sociological. On economical basis it saves both
time and wealth. It is not possible for every country to build separate buildings and equip separate
laboratories, especially in vocational, medical and engineering colleges. Lack of funds, paucity of
competent teachers and inadequacy of building are some barriers in the progress of education which can be
removed by co-education. On sociological basis, co-education is an incentive to develop the character of
students. By a close association their mutual shyness is removed and they begin to understand each other in
a better way. They can help each other by discussing their subjects and it produces an air of competition
between both the sexes.

"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."

The boys become more civilized and polished in the presence of girls and the girls stand to gain
something in the presence of boys. In this way both get confidence which plays an important role for the
further course of their lives. Thus, both girls and boys can prove themselves more successful spouses after
the completion of their education under this system
All that may be attractive but all that glitters is not gold. The arguments of the supporters are
weighty but those against are also convincing. The opponents have the opinion that firstly, it may not be
possible to teach and explain all the parts of the subject minutely to boys and girls together. There are
certain topics in subjects like psychology, biology and medicine which cannot easily be discussed before
both the sexes. As a result, a teacher seems reluctant in explaining the topic and the students face a lot of
difficulty. Secondly,

"Integrity has no need of rules."

The period of youth is characterized by irresponsibility, immaturity and emotionalism. Sentimentalism

easily triumph over realism and erotic passions and fleshy lust drive away cold reason. The free contact
between both the sexes may result in laxity of morals. By the implementation of co-education colleges are
converted into romantic abodes. Cupid enjoys free reign in academic campus. Thus, this tendency makes
them neglect their studies.

If you refuse to drink from the fountain of knowledge,

you'll die of thirst in the desert of ignorance!

Thirdly, religious barriers are also there. In certain Muslim countries the orthodox Ulemas militate
against the basic concept of co-education because Islam strictly prohibits the free mixing of boys and girls.
Thus, they suspect that the system may corrupt their issue morally.

Considering all its bearings it can easily be concluded that this system is a mixed- blessing. It should be
only be implemented in a country where religious, social and moral values are not repugnant (hindrance) to
the requirements of this system, otherwise the results may be disastrous.

2.MY AIM IN LIFE

"The ambition if reached or not makes great the life."
Life without aim is like a word without meaning , a body without soul, a head without brain, a
vehicle without wheels, a pair of shoes without heels, a lamp without light and an eye without sight. It is
our aim in life which distinguishes us from animals and qualifies us to be called the "crown of creation".
It gives proper shape and direction to our abilities and energies. It works as a motive force and guiding star
to keep us stable and steady in the labyrinths of life. So every human being irrespective of cast and creed,
religion and region, must have a definite and clear aim in life. The progress and prosperity of a country are,
to a great extent, due to the long-life endeavours of men who have high ambitions in life.
"Hitch the wagon to a star."
There are many ambitions as men. Some want to be doctors, others to be engineer. My
ambition in life is to have neither power nor pelf. I do not want to be a king but a king maker.
"Great ambition is the passion of a great character."
I also have an aim in my life and that is to be an intellectual teacher. It is very cumbersome
fact that teaching is a low-paid profession, but still I like this. I do not believe in political conquests. I
believe in welfare of mankind and in making every home a paradise and that can only be achieved by
educating my country-fellow.
"Quality, not the quantity should be the
measure of one's character."
I like this profession due to many reasons. Firstly, teachers are the greatest benefactors of
humanity. They have always been the torch-hearers of knowledge and wisdom in the darkness of the world.
Great prophets and preachers, saints and sages, reformers and revolutionaries, thinkers and law-givers, all
were basically teachers. "A teacher influences those who are
growing up and matter the world."
Secondly, teachers are the mind-makers and character builders of certain nation. Nobody
can serve nation better than a teacher. Engineers build grand buildings, roads and dams. Doctors treat the
patients and put life into the dead, military officers defend the country. These are all the makers of a
nations but a teacher is the maker of all these makers.
Thirdly, I am the most suitable figure for the profession, because it is according to my taste
and inclination. God has granted me a power of explaining and making things clear to others. An emotional
and humorous tinge like Chips is the most striking feature of my speech which adds colour to my lecture.
All these things are the basic requirements of this profession. So, I will be the most successful teacher in
future.
"A man of courage is also full of faith."
Fourthly, teaching is a noble profession and a teacher is respected everywhere, because a
teacher is like a lamp which spreads light to show the path to those who are sauntering aimlessly in the
pitch darkness of ignorance. A teacher is like a ladder which remains at the same place, but helps others to
ascend higher and higher. It is said that the hand that rocks a cradle, rules the world. Great teachers
always achieve an immortal niche in the temple of fame.
"Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds."
Fifthly, in a profession , the surroundings in which a person has to work count much. For
instance, police people have to live in criminals and culprits, engineers have to live in lifeless tools and
machines, lawyers have to live in the world of fraud and falsehood. But a teacher lives in the best possible
atmosphere of the world. It is the atmosphere of youth, health, nobility and cheerfulness. So he himself
remains ever young, ever cheerful and ever green.
To nourish the plant of my aim, I am watering it from the ocean of knowledge, sunning it
with the rays of hope and airing it with the unshakeable resolution and determination so that it may
fragrant the surroundings with the fascinating smell of knowledge.
A noble aim,

Faithfully kept, is as a noble deed,

In whose pure sight all virtue succeeds.

3.MY HERO IN HISTORY

"Lives of great men all remind us
we can make our lives sublime
and departing leave behind us
foot-prints on the sands of time."
History is fraught with unforgettable adventures of great scientists, artists, philosophers, and
statesmen, men of letters and sages whose tireless and lethargic (selfless) efforts brought comfort and peace
to the suffering humanity. In the arena of life, there lurks the truth that man is glorious. Not in enjoyment,
not in luxury, not in wealth and power, not in rank and position but in deeds alone lives his name. Such
people die but their death never segregates them from humanity rather their love becomes more passionate
in the hearts of the people after their death.
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, is also one of the historical
figures whose firm determination, integrity of character, sharp intellect and profound political insight have
made him immortal in my heart. He is like a guiding star providing direction to people of Pakistan.
"Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds."
The Quaid-e-Azam was born in Karachi on December 25, 1876 A.D. After getting his early
education he left for England for studying law and returned to India after becoming an invincible Barrister
and became one of the leading lawyers.
"Greatness be nothing unless it be lasting."
On his return, he joined the Indian National Congress for some years but soon after the
realization of Hindus' biased attitude towards the Muslims. He left it and became the champion of Muslim
cause by joining the "All India Muslim League". His leadership kindled a new imagination among the
frustrated Muslims of India.
The Quaid-e-Azam's "Fourteen Points" in response to the "Nehroo's Report" are a
milestone in the seduction of freedom cause in the Muslims. Keeping in view the nefarious designs of the
Hindus to keep the Muslims in permanent subjugation, he strongly emphasized upon inevitable the "Two
Nation Theory". At length, by his sincere, diligent and dynamic leadership, the Muslims of India
succeeded in achieving their goal and the dream of Pakistan was materialized on 14th of August, 1947.
Physiognomically speaking, Quaid-e-Azam had an ideal personality as well. He was not
narrow-minded, proud, arrogant and a prejudiced fellow. He was against all the social evils. Sharp
mindedness and the eloquent speaking were the outstanding traits of his personality. He had sharp and
penetrating eyes. He seemed to look at one's very soul and reads one's mind. He knew how to grapple with
any problem. It was his vast political vision that he anticipated the evil intentions of the cheatful Hindu
leaders and gave them a tough fight.
"Personality is to man what perfume is to flower."
After the emergence of Pakistan, as a Governor General, the Quaid-e-Azam devoted
himself more selflessly to the task of strengthening Pakistan. He worked from dawn to dusk even in his old
age and never cared for his health.

"Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities."

This over work shattered his nerves and broke his health and he developed consumption.
Alas! he did not live long to steer the boat of week and feeble nation. He died in harness on September 11,
1948, uttering the last words, "Allah , Pakistan"
Though he has died, yet he stills dwells in my heart as a pattern setter. He has brought me
home the message of staunch determination, commitment and unshakeable courage for better future.
Quaid-e-Azam will always remain in the hearts of Pakistanis as "Father Of the Nation". His words, Faith,
Unity and Discipline" will encourage people to the great tasks of nation-building.

"A man of courage is also full of faith."

"May his soul rest in peace!"

4.MY FAVOURITE POET

"Lives of great men all remind us
we can make our lives sublime
and departing leave behind us
foot-prints on the sands of time."

A great man is one who serves humanity heart and soul. But no man is great who is
great only in his life time. The test of greatness is the page of history. History is replete with the deeds of
men whose sole and sacred aim of life is to help and guide their fellow men.

"Greatness be nothing unless it be lasting."

We read and recall, commemorate and commend the names of great scientists, artists,
philosophers, politicians, poets and sages whose tireless and selfless efforts brought comfort and peace of
the suffering humanity. Allama Iqbal is one of them.
Allama Iqbal is the greatest Muslim poet-philosopher. He is the greatest Islamic thinker of
the modern times. His magnanimous personality made him a poet, a philosopher and a reformer. He had
made a lasting contribution to human thought. It is, infact, his poetic work that has made him immortal.

He was born at Sialkot on 9th November, 1877. His father, Sheikh Noor Mohammad, was
a great mystic. Iqbal inherited deep love for religion from him. It was under his spiritual guidance and
inspiring supervision of his father that the initial growth of Iqbal's mind took place.
The genius in Iqbal had begun to show itself at a early stage. He started writing verses
during his school days.

"The child's vision leads him to the path he has to follow."

After completing his early education, he went to Lahore. There he joined the Govt.
College and passed his M.A examination in philosophy. Then, he joined the faculty of same college. He
went to Europe for higher studies. He received PhD in philosophy from Germany and passed Bar at law
examination in 1908 from London. When he returned home, he started law practice in Lahore High Court.
Iqbal's stay in Europe enabled him to formulate an outlook on life contrary to the
westernized persons of the east, who were dazzled by the glamour of western civilization. He could see all
its nakedness and instead of being an admirer, became its critic.

"To recognize the best, you have to see the worst."

He devoted most of his time to poetry, philosophy and religion. He was much worried
about the sad and deplorable plight of the Muslims. They had forgotton the true message of Islam and had
indulged in petty worldly pursuits. Iqbal tried to reawaken them from the sound slumber of luxurious ease.
He wrote many great and beautiful poems which carry the message of Islam. Through his immortal theories
of "khudi", "Mard-e-Momin" and "Shaheen" he taught them self-control, self-respect and love for
religion. He was against political and religious exploitation. The confusion in Iqbal's mind during this era is
summarized by his couplets, in which he says,
"The east saw God but failed to see the world of matter
the west got embroiled in the world and neglected God."
Iqbal's poetry gives a message of universal brotherhood, individual freedom, peace and
egotism. He believed in the fundamental rights of human beings. The people of Pakistan always pay
glorious tributes to Allama Iqbal for his unforgettable contribution towards the creation of new homeland
for the Muslims of the sub-continent.
He died on April 21, 1938. He was buried in Lahore where Minar-e-Pakistan stands to bear
witness to the insight and prudence of this great poet of the east..

"May his soul rest in peace!"

5.TELEVISION
"Television is an aesthetic for the pain of the world."

Television is one of the latest inventions of our age. It means “to see from a distance.”
On the television, we can see people and their movements from a very long distance. It has gained a wide-
spread popularity in Western as well as in Eastern countries. Nowadays it has become the need of every
home. In leisure hours, it is the best means of recreation and mental diversion. In this age of anxiety and
tension, emotional suffocation and depression, television serves the purpose of ventilation of pent-up
emotions. Apart from its advantages, it also has some disadvantages.

Television is a good medium of communication that prevents us from communicating with each
other. Glued to our seats we watch this one eyed monster leaving the guests in the room and turning a deaf
ear to our mother's call. Often our food is left uneaten and homework undone. Our sleep is lost in "Alice
Wonderland" or in some unknown world where "Captain Planet" takes us on his shoulders. After
Second World War "John Logie Baired" invented it for us so that we might get knowledge with pleasure
but we have closed our eyes to all kinds of knowledge and have opened up our hearts to all types of vulgar
pleasures. Before the invention of T.V, we used to have creative hobbies. We used to entertain our friends
and go outside for our amusements to cinemas, restaurants, parks and playgrounds. We used to wait
anxiously for the morning news paper and liked to read books in our spare time. But now all these things
have become dead tales of the past.

"Television has proved that people will look anything rather than each other."

Now the children who used to hear stories from their mothers and grandmothers ,like to see
cartoons, "Enak Wala Jin" and "Kids’ Club". Mothers and grandmothers themselves are not in a mood
to tell stories about ghosts and fairies. They are busy in watching some "Bajia's or Haseena Moin's"
drama nagging one character and praising the other. Scenes of violence, rape and mad car racing are the
craze of our young people. Similarly, Dada and Nana Abboo are enjoying "Ali must qalandar must
must" with "tasbeeh" in their hands and tossing their heads. Thus TV is encouraging passive enjoyment
and cutting us off the real world.

"Television is the drug of the nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation."

But all this does not mean that TV has only bad aspects. It has many good aspects and
effects. Many educational, scientific, historical and political programmes that are shown on TV are very
interesting and informative. We are taken to any corner of the world where any game of our interest is
being played. We are taught how a particular dish is cooked, how a particular disease is prevented or cured,
how our house can be decorated without spending much money and much more about our social,
economical and spiritual life. So nothing about TV is good or bad; our thinking or the way we look at its
programmes makes it so.

"Television is for appearing on, not looking at."

6.LIFE IN A BIG CITY

(City Life Vs village Life)

Multiplicity has its advantages but it annoys someone when it is a part of such big
multitude. It also affects and pollutes the environment in one or the other way.

"A city is a large community where people are lonesome together."

There was a time when everybody was in praise of village life. But now even village
people prefer to live in cities. There are many causes of this change in the outlook of the people. A few
years back it was thought that village life was more secure, more pure and more easy but now things have
changed a lot.
With the progress of science, man's attitude towards life, his mode of living and his
ambitions have undergone many changes. Now man has got various things that are not only comfortable
but luxurious. Better means of communication and transportation, better housing and health facilities, better
means of entertainment, better educational institutions, more variety of clothes have been included in man's
basic needs. These basic needs of life are not available in villages.

"Leading life is an art."

To lead a contented and well balanced life one needs soothing and suitable
surroundings. In cities, people have better educational facilities. It is natural that city dwellers are better
educated. They are more advanced and enlightened than the people living in villages. They are more
prosperous, educated and trained. There are greater opportunities of employment. There are government
offices, private companies and factories in a city.

"Divine nature gave the fields, human art built the cities."
On the other hand telephone, television, cinema houses, hospitals, universities,
parks, open houses, wide roads, gas and electricity, buses and cars and availability of all commodities of
daily use with variety and abundance have made city life a pleasant dream that everybody desires to see.
But the terrorism, obscenity, corruption, unemployment, sectarianism, load-shedding and political chaos
have turned this pleasant dream in to a nightmare.

Life in big cities causes complex problems_____problems of transport, traffic, dearness, shortage of
supplies, etc. The daily life of the people may be made wretched by big business. The black marketers and
profiteer control the prices of things of daily use by creating artificial shortage. This practice is very
frequently repeated every year. Apart from this, the life of the people living in big cities is so much
depended upon modern mechanical devices (electricity, motor transport etc.) that he is at the mercy of
forces beyond his control.

Now the minds of people living in big cities are polluted with envy and hatred.
Smoke is defacing their face. They have many things to decorate their bodies but they have nothing to give
solace to their souls and peace to their minds.

"There is no solitude in the world like that of a big city."

Peace is the product of love and self-sacrifice. Let love and self-sacrifice prevail both in cities and villages
to make them worth-living.

7.WHY I LOVE PAKISTAN

"Love is not consolation. It is light."

Patriotism means love for one's country. Love is a natural instinct which has some
unique attributes. It enjoins upon us certain bonds or responsibilities. Everybody loves his country because
patriotism is a natural passion. Man needs protection and a sense of belonging which aids response to his
being. A sense of security and well being is a characteristic feature of a homeland. Everything that it
possesses belongs to us.

"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries
because you were born in it."
We like the earth where we are born. We like it because it feeds our bodies,
illuminates our minds and saves our souls. Here we live among our near and dear ones who share our pain
and pleasures. We feel a sense of security, closeness and companionship. Its beautiful valleys, high
mountains, surging rivers and its values, customs and traditions all are dear to us.
I love Pakistan because I walk on its soil, breathe in its air, eat from the food
produced in its fields, wear clothes made from its cotton. I am safe from the maltreatment of Hindus. Our
shops are not looted by them and our houses are not burnt by the bad characters. We are not looked upon as
disloyal to our country.
I love Pakistan because its government is my own government. Its industry and
commerce are in our own hands. It is progressing by rapid strides in every field. I love Pakistan because its
army is strong enough to every inch of this sacred territory.
Our existence depends on the existence and survival of the dear homeland. We have an
ultimate faith in our association with our country.

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
I love Pakistan because I am free to go to the mosque. I am free to worship my Lord. I
am free to sacrifice the cow. I am free to keep fast and recite the Holy Quran when and where I desire.
I love Pakistan for the sake of saints, martyrs, warriors and heroes who fought for it.
Allama Iqbal, Quaid-e-Azam, Miss Fatima Jinah, Liaqat Ali Khan and great men have been here. Major
Aziz Bhatti, Brigadier Shami, Rashid Minhaas and thousands others sacrificed their lives for Pakistan.

"Soldiers die not in hatred but in love."

I love Pakistan for its belief in sovereignty of God. It is the land of social justice,
equality, democracy, universal peace, Islamic brotherhood, unity and human rights. It is the land of
honesty, piety, love, benevolence, fortitude, courage and religion. It is the sign of Muslim brotherhood,
national integrity and solidarity.

I love Pakistan for its ancient civilization, its beautiful natural scenery and its historical
building. Historical places remind us of the great achievements of our fore-fathers. It has always been a
centre of culture and learning. To me Pakistan is the most cherished object of love. I determine to protect
and serve it to the best of my capabilities.

8.MY HOBBY
It is said that
“An empty mind is devil's workshop”
The moment we sit idle, the devil starts instilling evil in our minds. So it is always better to do something
constructive in our spare time. Anything that we do in our spare time is called our hobby. It may or may not
help us earn money or reputation. But it does give us pleasure, peace of mind and satisfaction.

"A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away."

People adopt different hobbies according to their age, taste and temperament. Stamp or
coin-collecting, gardening, cycling, music, movies and hiking are some hobbies that people adopt. All these
have their own good or bad aspects. But I think that book reading is far better than all these hobbies as it
prepares one for life.

In this world of strife and struggle where everybody is hankering after money, books are
selfless friends. They never leave us in the lurch. Nor do they reap advantages in our distress. They are
helpers to the helpless and friends to the friendless. They are the source of wisdom and pleasure. They
teach us how to face and overcome difficulties. They advise us to be sober and dignified both in distress
and happiness. One must be careful in selecting books.

"Some books are more dangerous than scorpions

and more poisonous than snakes."

Such books pollute our minds and contaminate our souls. Bacon, the great essayist says,

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to

be chewed and digested."

It means that we should only read such books that illuminate our minds and purify our
souls. I have a small library in my house. I have collected a number of books on different topics: politics,
religion, Urdu and English literature, science and general knowledge. All these books have been bought
with the pocket money that my parents give me every month. Instead of spending it on watching obscene
Indian or English films or eating spicy and unhygienic food at different hotels, I buy books. I keep them
neat and tidy and read them in my spare time. I also ask my friends to read these books. But I am sorry to
say that some of them never return my books. They think that by digesting books Bacon means digesting
(grabbing) other people's books.

In short, my hobby is a great source of knowledge and wisdom. And it is also a panacea
against monotony of life. My hobby has made me a great lover of books.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."

9. A VISIT TO HISTORICAL PLACE

"Live your life day by day.
You never know
when your time will come,
so live at every hour,
laugh at every minute,
and love at every second."

Old historical places remind us of the greatness and glory of man. They also arouse in
us the thoughts of the shortness of life and uselessness of the world. I had often heard about the tomb of
Jahangeer, but never had a chance to see it. Last year, in summer, I visited it along with some friends of
mine. The tomb is situated in a small town of Shahdara, four miles from Lahore, on the other bank of the
river, Ravi. From Lahor to Shahdara, we covered the whole distance on foot just for fun.

"No man is failure who enjoys life."

The four minarets of the tomb can be seen easily from a long distance. The
mausoleum stands in a big park. The area of the park is surrounded by a big wall. The gateway leads into a
quadrangle with two high walls on both sides.
As we entered the park, we were greeted by the hosts of colourful flowers of the
season. The whole place was full of freshness and fragrance. The place was lying all sad, silent and solemn.
Clusters of shady mango trees were adding to the beauty of the place. A current of cool, clear water was
gushing out of the fountain just before the mausoleum. Then we mounted the elevated platform on which
the whole building of the tomb is built. It was a low, vast imposing structure. In the central room of the
building was the grave of the great Mughal emperor.
The grave was constructed with old bricks and lime. There, he was lying all alone,
silent and friendless. The great king who had spent all his life in grandeur and glory, surrounded by crowds
of courtiers and companions, was now lying hopeless and companionless. Such is the end of all the worldly
achievements. “The paths of glory lead but to grave”, we thought. The silence, the loneliness and the
desolation of the place filled our eyes with tears.

"When pride is lost, you can recover.

When love is lost, you'll find another.
Make a challenge a great endeavour.
Lose yourself; you'll be lost forever."

The inner walls of the room were decorated with colourful designs and patterns of the
past. The old building was a fine and impressive specimen of the Mughal Art and Architecture. We went
into one of the four minarets standing up to the sky on all the four corners of the building. We enjoyed a
full view of the whole city of Lahore from there. Inspite of the intense heat, it was quite cool outside the
tomb. We remain there for a very long time.

"When life begins to be too much on your shoulders,

shift the weight to your heart and mind."

Soon, the evening set in. The inner atmosphere of the tomb became very sad. We left
the great Mughal king alone and came out. All are the friends of prosperity. None is the friend of adversity.
The living cannot remain too long with the dead. It was indeed, a well-spent day and would always be fresh
in my mind.

10.SCIENCE - A BOON OR A BANE

"Science is a key that unlocks for mankind a store of nature."
Science is a great blessing. It has made our life peaceful and comfortable. All the
progress that man has made is due to science. It has made him the crown of creation in real sense.

"To count the blessings of science is to attempt the impossible."

The inventions of wheel, electricity and wonder drug penicillin have revolutionized
human life. Now our life has become safer, easier and comfortable than that of our ancestors who lived in
precarious conditions. Stifling heat of the sun, wrath of natural calamity, bloody jaws of fatal diseases and
the ghastly face of the famines were the constant threat to the very survival of our forefathers. But now we
have conquered time and space and have tamed all the forces of nature. We have infact risen from the
lowest position of the cavemen to the highest position of the spacemen.

"Science has proof without any certainty,

creationists have certainty without any proof."
Only one hundred years ago, man's life was most uncertain. Diseases like malaria,
cholera, measles, typhoid and smallpox that are no more considered fatal were a sure call from death. Now
by using scientific methods, we have solved such problems as the causes of diseases and its prevention .
Life-saving drug and the invention of operating theatre equipments have brought many patients back from
the jaws of death to the lap of life.

"Men love to wonder and that is the seed of science."

Science has also done a lot to clean, beautify and illuminate our houses and cities. Our
city streets are well-drained, paved and illuminated. We have water supply system that provides clean water
for household use. The dirty water is carried through sealed pipes to the disposal plants.

"Science is nothing but a trained and organized common sense."

Iron, aluminum and even glass can be moulded into different shapes. In our houses, we
have refrigerators to keep our food fresh, air conditioners and heaters to change the climate according to
our taste and aptitude.

"A man of science is just a student of nature and derives his inspiration from
the science."
Science has also improved our means of communication, transportation and
entertainment, ships, aeroplanes, trains, buses and cars have shortened the distances. On TV sets we can
watch cricket being played thousand miles away. The dish antenna has brought the people of different
castes, creeds, nations and countries so close to each other that a global village is in the making in which all
the differences of cultures, customs, languages and social manners will die their natural death.

"Science is more stimulating to the imagination than to the classics."

The most important effect of inventions and investigations is on human mind and
manners. We have become more realistic and critical in our attitudes and aptitudes. Mysterious happenings
and supernatural events do not attract our attention. We believe only such things as are based on facts. So
superstitions are losing ground and blind faith is being discarded. In short, mankind is highly indebted to
the scientists for their wonderful inventions.

"Society lives by faith and develops by science."

But this is only the bright side of the picture. We cannot ignore the dark and dismal
aspects of science and forget that sometimes it appears "reed in tooth and claw" destroying human life and
civilization. Man's urge for authority and his desire to gain control over his fellow-men has compelled him
to turn his boon into a bane. He has invented disastrous war weapons that can annihilate the whole world in
no time. A number of scientific inventions that can be used to ameliorate the lot of the lots of naked,
hungry and homeless people are being used to multiply their miseries and misfortune.

11.TECHNICAL EDUCATION
"Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army."
Education is an essential need of human life. An uneducated man remains under
developed mentally. He cannot be much useful for his family and nation. That is why modern governments
give great importance to the education of their men as well as women. The huge population can be a source
of strength for a country, provided it is widely educated and properly trained.

"The landed classes neglected technical education, taking refuge in classical studies."

Technical education means teaching students and others some practical or

mechanical art. It includes training in trade, commerce, carpentry, weaving, agriculture, medicines and
engineering. It helps to meet the needs of Industrial Age. Those, who get such education, become industrial
experts or technicians. With the gradual expansion in industry and the increased use of machinery in
agriculture, we need engineers, skilled workers, fitters, scientists, business administrators, etc.

"Education...has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish

what is worth reading."

Technical education is lacking in Pakistan. Our schools and colleges produce men
who run after office jobs. They dislike working in factories and hate to learn practical skills. This is why
un-employment is widely spreading in the country. Poverty in Pakistan is due to the neglect of technical
education. Our country is rich in raw material resources, but we cannot reap the advantages only because
we are not equipped with any technical knowledge. We live in a free and independent country. We have to
make it rich in all fields of life. This can only be done only if we work hard in the field of science and
industry.

"The great aim of education is not knowledge but action."

We need technical education to run and expand various industries such as cloth,
sugar iron mills, etc. We need these things every day. We must build roads, hospitals, bridges and dams.
But to achieve all this we need engineers and skilled workers. This can be done only if we impart technical
education to students. Then we shall also be able to use our coal, gas, electricity etc. for better purposes in
our industries.

In short, technical education makes a country rich, prosperous and resourceful, but it
has certain limitations also. Too much of technical education changes a man into machine. A man's
specialized knowledge makes him un-fit for other jobs. So we should have an element of liberal education
in technical education. We should also open commercial and polytechnic institutions. We must establish
more and more of such institutions. The idea of the "Dignity of labour" should be popularized among the
students and they should be ensured secure and bright future. Then our country will become a paradise. The
technical experts and trained personnel must be supplied by our educational system.

"Education is the best provision for old age."

12. A CRICKET MATCH

"Sports serve society by providing vivid examples of excellence."

Games and sports have great importance in the life of young man. They are a good
means of entertainment. We can also learn discipline, regularity and sportsman spirit from games. Cricket
has been one of the most famous and popular games of the world. Many countries have prepared their
national teams in this regard.
Last Sunday, I also attended a cricket match. It was played between the boys of our
college and Friend's Club. The agreements were made by the secretary of sports. It was sponsored by
English Biscuit and Philips Industry. It was a fine day. The sun was shining brightly. I and my friend got
the tickets at the main gate and took our seats. This match was a very important match on national basis.
The players of our team had prepared well. In order to remain fit, they had taken many exercises for this
match. This match was played in national ground of the city. People from far and wide had come there to
see this important and wonderful match. There were video cameras to record the important classical catches
of this match. Huge crowd of people came to see the match as it was being played on international level
between India and Pakistan.

"Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match, the

pressure is doubled."
Both the teams appeared in the ground at a fixed time. It was 9:00 a.m. The
spectators were full of joy and enthusiastic spirit. Then there was a toss. They won the toss and decided to
play first. Their players went into bat. Our players began bowling. Our team had good bowlers. So, they
played very well and in the first twenty overs, only 30 runs were made by Friend's Club team and their four
wickets were gone away. One of these four batsmen was caught out and this catch was recorded because it
was a catch near the boundry otherwise it would be a sixer. Now, only six wickets were in hand and 30
overs were left. In the 25th over, two of their six batsmen went out one by one in no time. Our college
students were full of joy and spirit. Then, in their 48th over, all the wickets had gone and runs made by
them were only 110 in 48 overs. Their team was very disturbed due to the present situation.

"Oh God! If there be cricket in heaven let there also be rain."

Then it was a lunch time. The players said their prayers and then came to the
ground again. Our batsmen went to the wills or into the bat. Our captain was a very wise man. He planned
well and decided to play according to the situation. The bowling of other team was very well but their
fielding was not satisfactory. They dropped six catches in twenty overs. Our team made 65 runs and only
one player was out. Our team played very well and by the end of 40th over, the runs made by our players
were 115 and only five players were out. In this way, our team won the match. All the players were very
happy and gay. As they came out of the ground, their supporters shouted with joy and lifted them over their
shoulders. It was a remarkable scene. Many of them were holding the national flags in their hands and
loved to display them proudly.

"Desire is the most important factor in the success of any athlete."

At the end of this match our team was awarded a national cup and our college was
closed for two days in this regard. When we returned to our home, we were very tired and dusty, but we
were happy and slept soundly.

13. MY BEST FRIEND

"A good friend knows all your best stories,
A best friend has lived them with you."

Friendship is the sacred bond of emotional, mental and spiritual unity between
two persons. It is something God-gifted and not man-made. True and sincere friends are as rare as
diamonds. In the modern selfish world, people select their friends either for their outer perishable beauty or
their riches or their social status or their family-background. Since modern friendships are based on selfish
motives, they are never permanent.

"Everyone has best friend during each stage of life - only the precious have the same
one."
Mr. Kamal is my best friend. He is neither so handsome, nor very intelligent nor
rich. He is neither the son of a doctor nor a professor. On the other hand, he is a simple boy. He is my class-
fellow and neighbour. I like him for his simplicity and sincerity, nobility and gentility.
The first thing I like in him is his silence. He is silent by nature. He is neither a
chatter-box nor an idle-talker. He never bores me by telling me long stories of the books which he has read,
the pictures he has seen, the places he has visited or the people he has met. Unlike other worldly friends, he
does not always have a smile on his face. Always having a smile on ones face shows either foolishness or
hypocrisy.

"A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to
think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence."

Another quality which I like in him is that he never praises or flatters me. He
always snubs and scolds me in private for my mistakes and weaknesses. But he cannot tolerate if anybody
talks ill of me before him. He has fought for me many times in my absence. But in my presence, he fights
with me if I do anything wrong.

"A best friend is like a four leaf clover hard to find and lucky to have."

Kamal is not a friend of prosperity but a friend of adversity. He does not visit me
very often when I am well. But he never leaves me when I am sad or unwell.
I like his spotless character and his love for religion. He never tells a lie, never
abuses, never deceives anybody. He never breaks his promise. He is the son of poor school teacher and
leads a very simple life. He is poor but honest and self-respecting. He is very hard-working. Though he is
not very intelligent, yet he always gets a good position in examination by dint of his hard work. He never
misses his prayers or his recitation of the Holy Quran or his fasting in Ramazan. He never wastes his time
and mostly remains indoors. He wants to become a great professor of medicine in a medical college.

"A best friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you."

But inspite of all this, Mr. Kamal is not an angel. He is not without some human
weaknesses. For example, he always thrusts his help upon me and refuses to accept my help as far as
possible. He is slightly moody and touchy. But I think, this world will become a paradise if everyone gets a
friend like Mr.Kamal.

"Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure."

14. THE VALUE OF COMPUTER \

"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most
empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're
tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user. "

21st century will be marked with great advancement in science and technology.
The most important features of the ongoing century will be the development and growth of computer
technology. Ten years from now, computers will be at home in our pockets and inside our television. Even
a grocer and vendor will be adding his business with the help of computers. A scientific survey has
revealed that tomorrow we shall have shirt pocket computers, which work much faster than today's
computers.
A computer is an electronic device that solves problems by processing data
according to instructions. The word computer has been derived from a Latin word “computes” which
means to reckon up. The first computer was designed by a French scientist Pascal in 1642. The first
automatic electronic digital computer was prepared in America in 1946. The electric computer is rightly
called wonder of the modern age. It is an electronic device for storing and analyzing information fed into it.
It makes calculations and controls machinery automatically.

A computer is of immense help in every field of life. It can help us in business,

industry, construction, banking, medicine and teaching. In business and industry, the computer can let us
know about the latest trends of business. It prepares lists of goods purchased and sold. It can show to us the
figures of loss and profit of a mill or factory in one moment. It can inform us about the production, and
needs of a factory within a flash of time. It can equip us with a comparative statement of the production of
other factories and mills. Thus in no time, we shall have a perfect data of the working of different factories
on the screen of the computers without moving from our room.

"Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy."

A computer is of immense help in construction of the big plazas, buildings,

bridges and roads. It gives us designs of various building structure, which are shock proof and sound proof.
It guides us in the selection of correct material, mixtures which we can use safely in the construction of
hospitals, banks and big shopping centres. This computer accuracy has reduced building time. Now we can
construct buildings of perfect designs which cannot be completed by hundreds of engineers and scientists.

The banking system too has been revolutionized by the computers. The clients
do not have to wait for a long time to know their balance, profit and loss. It supplies to its clients the most
accurate accounts. Computers are rendering great service in the smooth working of telecommunication
system also. The telephone exchanges are controlled by computers. The messages by telephone, radio, fax
machines and television are fully computerized.

Rockets, satellites and spaceships are controlled through computers. The air
fight between different countries is guided by computers. Due to the wide-range memory and calculation,
they have become the need of every establishment. In the hospitals, the computers help us to diagnose the
disease. They help us in the investigation of laboratory tests. They keep a record of patient's disease and
they are available to the doctor at a moment's notice. They guide the doctors to prescribe correct recipes for
patients.
A computer has a very vast memory. A small disk of cassette can store material
that several books and files can store. The knowledge contained in a whole library can be stored in the
computers. We can say that in future, the computer will play great role in our social, economic and cultural
life. Inspite of their limitations, they cannot be done away with.

15. EXAMINATIONS
OR
OUR PRESENT SYSTEM OF EXAMINATION
Examinations are an important feature of our educational life. The students do
not like them. The approach of an examination fills their minds with fear. They neglect their games and
take their meal irregularly. Examinations upset their routine life: Games, meetings, clubs, societies and
other activities are stopped at once. During the days of examinations, the students do not find time to
entertain themselves. According to the students, it is the most absurd system so far invented by man. They
compare it to a nightmare and the fear of examination upsets their nervous system and affects their
emotional make up.

Examinations are not altogether devoid of good. The first use of examination
is that they serve as a test of efficiency. It is only through an examination that we can know about the
progress of a student at studies. Examinations provide a tangible proof of the fitness of a student for the
higher class. A university degree or a diploma beats testimony to the fact that a particular student has
acquired knowledge of a fixed standard. Thus an employer can safely entrust a job to the degree holder. A
bachelor of medicine has to undergo a lot of training -theoretical and practical- before he is allowed to
write the degree after his name. A sick person or a patient can easily trust him for cure. In a word, a degree
is a guarantee that its holder is not a quack or a fool. If we abolish examinations, we shall have to abolish
degrees and diplomas.

The second use of examinations is that they goad us to study properly. A

careless student becomes serious near the examinations. He buys books which he had no intention to buy
and determines to work regularly. About half the students in a school or college read for the sake of
examinations. Thus examinations are the most effective way of inspiring a student to read.

Thirdly it is only examinations which help us in finding out the cleverest and
the most efficient student. Only through examinations, we distinguish between the scholar and the dullard,
the genius and the dunce. To fill higher services, competitions are conducted by the Public Service
Commission, and the top students are selected to fill the vacancies. Thus examinations help us in
discriminating between the genuine gold and the sparkling brass.

But this is only one side of the coin. Examinations have certain abuses as
well. First of all the enormous strain during and near an examination has a bad impact on the health of
examinees. A number of them fall ill or develop nervous disorders. The second disadvantage of
examinations is that they encourage cramming. Many of students prefer reading the help books to reading
their text books. The result is that they acquire superficial and second hand knowledge. The examinations
at present are a test of memory rather than of intelligence.

" Chance plays a great part in all examinations."

Our present examination system suffers from many malpractices. The students
resort to copy without any fear. They cheat, bribe and threaten the superintendent or the examiner and
adopt unfair means to solve the paper. In most of the boards and universities, papers are leaked out. The
candidates exert undue pressure on the examiners to get good-marks. Inspite of all these disadvantages, we
have to put up with examinations as there is no other system to test the efficiency of the students.

16.THE PLACE OF WOMEN IN OUR SOCIETY

"A woman is the full circle.

Within her is the power to create,
nurture and transform."

Today women play a great role in human life and have an important place in
society. They are not inferior to men. They are capable of sharing the responsibilities of life shoulder to
shoulder with men. Man and woman have been rightly compared to the wheels of a carriage.
Before the advent of Islam, women had no place in society. Many were put to death
at the time of their birth. According to pre-Islamic tradition, female was low creature. She was branded
either as the product of the devil or considered as the seed of evil. In case of her husband's death, she used
to be either disinherited by her relatives or burnt alive.

"When an individual is kept in a situation of inferiority, the fact is that he does become
inferior."
Islam raised woman to respectful positions to play her role as a daughter, a sister, a
wife and a mother in the society. She is now in no way inferior to man. The fact is that Islam gave women
identical rights to acknowledge her independent personality. The status of woman as established by Islam is
unique. A woman enjoys a right of inheritance and is not deprived. She has her independent financial
identity whether she is a wife, mother, sister or daughter.

"Social science affirms that a woman's place in society marks the level of civilization."
The dowry or whatever she earns is absolutely hers. The husband has no right to
take it either by amalgamation of assets or in any other form. Islam has also given full protection and
security to women in the society. It is regarded as a Divine bond, a solemn agreement between man woman
witnessed first and foremost by God to lead a righteous life of peace, compassion, sincerity, comfort,
serenity and hope. Woman has been recognized a full and equal partner to man. She is equal to man in
bearing responsibilities.

"And their lord has accepted and answered them (saying) never will I cause to be lost
the work of anyone if you be male or female you are members of one society."
The verse indicates that woman have full rights, the same as man. A woman gives
birth to children, feeds them and helps them grow up. It is quite true that great men have great mothers. The
progress of nation depends upon the way the mothers bring up their children. If the women are educated,
the society is bound to progress and prosper.

"Once made equal to man woman becomes his superior."

Some women of course, would like to choose some profession as a career and earn
for themselves. There are certain jobs which women can do more easily and efficiently than men. They can
be very successful teachers, doctors and nurses. By nature, they are polite and sympathetic and can do well
in teaching and medical professions.

"A science career for woman is now almost as acceptable as being cheer leader."

17. CORRUPTION
"Trampled, divested is humanity by thy brutality and injustice."
Corruption is to get work done by means of illegal gratification. At one time, not very
long back, just a few decades back, to dabble in corrupt practices was something to be ashamed of, and a
known corrupt individual was signaled out. People would point the charging finger at him and talk scandals
in whispers about him. This goes to show that, though corruption was there, it was a very rare phenomena,
a hush affair. Both the corrupt person and the general public being awe struck about the whole affair. The
corrupt person hid his misdeed which in turn goes to show that there was fear in the minds of the corrupt,
the fear of being exposed and being punished.
As time passed by, this scenario on the front of corruption undertook an absolute
somersault as if. The very attitude of the corrupt, and the public changed altogether. The malady spread
through the length and breadth of the country, and the world. As the virus of corruption was allowed to take
its toll, it spread and continued to spread through the passage of decades.
The situation as it stands today is that, corruption is no slur on any individual, it has by
now become a way of life, it has been so closely woven into our life patterns that, no one thinks much
about it. This is because the system has been let loose and in so many decades everyone, yes, everyone is so
involved in corruption that the topic is not worth any discussions. Just as life style includes a bungalow,
car, servants, club etc., it also includes corruption.

“One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering is bribery and corruption that
really is a poison. We must put that down with an iron hand."
The entire system has been affected by this virus and it is now like a cancer absolutely
incurable. The cancer has spread throughout the body system and now there is no cure for it. Only in the
early stages, if the cancer had been treated it may have never taken such a dangerous posture.
The position as it stands today is so very pathetic that, it is a wonder; who will punish
whom for corruption? All, yes, all are neck deep plunged in this malady. When every organ of the system,
every individual in the system is corrupt to the hilt, who is there to set things right. The fact is that today
corruption has seeped deep into every corner of our system and there appears to be no light at the end of the
tunnel.

“Acquiring power is the purpose of corruption”.

Let us for a moment analyze how this virus was allowed to grow. The answer to this
question is quite simple. Since this cancer was not treated in its earlier stages, it grew to this magnum size,
which today defies any cure. It is not that people did not know about the virus entering the system but, it
was ignored and so the result is here for all of us to see. If it had been nipped in the bud just when it had
raised its ugly head, it would not have dared to grow.
Now, since this did not happen, the malady spread with the passage of time and took the
present shape. If it had been tackled at its very inception, more and more people would not have joined the
bandwagon and the situation would not have been as it is now. No corrupt person was ever punished for
his/her corrupt practices; it gave an impetus to others to become so. Moreover, since there was no
punishment, the element of fear also flew to the winds, and people dared it all.

With the deadly combination of good and comfortable life, and no, no punishment for
being corrupt gave a boost to the industry of corruption and the last straw on the camel’s back was this
corruption being aided by the highest places of authority – the politician. When there was absolute support
from the highest rung of the social order, the politician, the very thought of leaving it was not to be.

Now when the virus has struck the system we hear from pulpits and platforms long
drawn out speeches on uprooting corruption. This is however now a Herculean task. However, even at this
stage, we can make an effort. This is possible only if we give stringent punishment to the corrupt, no matter
whom. Side by side, if we can find a handful of honest people they should also be simultaneously rewarded
and honoured. With this twin treatment, maybe we see a reduction of the menace after some time. Let us
remember it is more difficult to improve a decayed system rather than make a new clean system.

18. SOCIAL EVILS

Social evils are like cankers and worms consuming the entire structure of society bit by bit.
They are depriving human beings of spiritual, moral and religious values. They are sapping the
feeling of brotherhood, undermining the bonds of love, draining the milk of human kindness and
making man a civilized brute. They have given birth to exploitation of man by man, deception and
fraud, unbridled lust for wealth and lunatic craze for the satisfaction of unlimited desires. Thus, by
indulging in social evils, the so-called civilized man has not only lost his spiritual inheritance of
contentment but also is paving the way to hell with good intention. We are so much engrossed in
this worldliness and accumulation of worldly wealth at all time of our life that we have completely
wasted away our spiritual energies. What an abominable mercenary bargain! What a detestable
sordid boon! The people who believe in social justice, raise a voice against such social evils but
their protest proves a cry in the wilderness.

Adulteration is one of the most important social evils. It is taking a heavy toll of human life.
Today it has become very common. The lure of profit has drawn dishonest souls to these fields.
The large-scale damage done through adulteration is not only immediate but far-reaching. Paralysis
has become very common because of adulteration. Outbreak of certain diseases and epidemics are
also the after-effect of adulteration. In short, adulterators are like white ants eating away national
health without much apparent damage.

Adulterators are not among us.

Smuggling is another country-wide evil. It is an illegal import and export of goods without
paying custom duties. Usually, there are restrictions on the transfer of such goods but the
smugglers take the risk and continue their business. They carry cheap things to a country where
they are sold at high prices. They cause a great loss to the national resources, national wealth and
the national economy. The wealth of one country flows to the other. Nowadays the smuggling of
modern weapons, the narcotic drugs, and contrabanded goods have caused much damage to the
people of our country. Thus the smuggler is the worst and accursed sort of man who does not spare
even his own country.

Bribery is another social evil which causes more damage to the country than is usually
realized. Bribery is used to get some favour which cannot honestly be granted. If bribery becomes
wide-spread in a country, the affairs of the state go into the hands of corrupt and undesirable
person. Naturally the pace and tempo of progress is restrained and national money goes waste. Not
laws but only a sense of moral and national responsibility can free a society of this evil.
Black-marketing and jobbery is the greatest curse for society. It is an atrocious crime against
the needy people. The black-marketers undermine the entire system of food-control. They cause
the shortage of essential commodities and then sell them out at exorbitant rates. Thus they try to
flourish and thrive at the cost of others, hunger and starvation.

In order to rid the society of these evils we must observe social, moral and religious values
which teach us to respect the rights of others. Punishment and punitive measure alone cannot
prevent such social crimes. We must develop an awareness of what is right and what is wrong. The
development of this awareness ought to be the aim of our education. We can banish all these social
evils if we sincerely follow the doctrines and teachings of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).
