Old Head on Young Shoulders

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Asad, who was ten years old. He was a very intelligent and outstanding student and always got good positions in his class. He was a well-groomed boy and never quarreled with anyone and never hurt anyone with his words. Because of his good habits, he was friendly at school, and in his surroundings. His father and mother were pleased with him and always felt pride in their son.

Asad had no other siblings, therefore he was too connected to his mother. He always used to tell his mother about each and every event at his school. He was also very helpful to his mother in doing any task at home. He was a very obedient child who never missed school.

His father was an accountant in a private company and all the company's accounting work was under his responsibility. His father used to work six days a week and would come home late at night. Due to his busy schedule, he could not give more time to Asad. His father was very satisfied that because of his hard work, his family was living happily without any tention. Asad’s father used to read newspapers or watch TV during his relaxed times. In such a situation, Asad used to take his toys or small storybooks and sit on the carpet next to his father. Asad's father would sometime look away from the TV or the newspaper and smile at him too.

One day Asad was sitting next to his father when the doorbell rang. Asad went outside to see who was there. At the door was his father’s friend named Jameel. Jameel told Asad that he wanted to meet Asad's father. Asad came back and told his father about uncle Jameel. Asad’s father got a little annoyed upon hearing Jameel's name and it was apparent from his face that he didn't want to meet Jameel. So he told Asad to go and tell his friend Jameel that, I am not at home. Asad was shocked on hearing this and looked at his father with innocence. There was a question in Asad's eyes, why his father was telling a lie? Asad refused to do so, as his teachers have advised him to. His father looked at him angrily but Asad did not move. 

Asad was expecting that he would be severely reprimanded by his father, but nothing happened. Rather his father got up from the sofa, kissed Asad on the cheek, and said, "Well done my son, today you have proved that even children can teach adults good things”. Saying this, Asad’s father went out to meet Jameel. Seeing all this, Asad’s mother was also very happy. She was thinking about how wise Asad is at such a young age. She kissed Asad on the forehead and said softly, "Well done my son, I am proud of you".

Why Hard work is Always Better than Begging

 Hard work is the key to success. nothing in this world is impossible for a person who targets to achieve with commitment and hard work. If we give a fried fish to a person without any of his efforts, then he will become habitual of doing nothing and aging the benefit without hard work, but if we teach him how to catch a fish, and use it as his food, then he will be more benefitted and will never try to beg in front of anyone. We can justify this statement by the following story. There was a school in a village, where children of mostly poor communities were getting their education. No uniform code was there in this school and students used to come in any of their available dresses. Education standards were reasonable but the teachers of this school were very much committed to their job in grooming their students, especially with respect to general ethics. The poor people were earning their livings hardly but were committed to educating the next generation for a better future. One ...

Where There is a Will There is a Way

Where there is a will there is always a way. If anyone puts full commitment and effort to achieve any target, destiny will help him/her to get it. It is upon the person how dedicated he/she is to the achievement of his goal. Nothing in this world is impossible if the person engaged in its fulfillment shows true spirit and d edication. We can get an example of "Where there is will there is a way" which is mentioned in succeeding paragraphs.  There was a person who was a very good journalist and always worked with zeal and zest for his newspaper. He was so dedicated to his job that he always remained the backbone of his network. He had a wish to write a book of his own but he never got time for that. His commitment to his job was always appreciated by his seniors and the owner of his newspaper. One day when he woke up to go for his duty, he tried to get out of his bed but surprisingly he was unable to move. He became totally disabled and his whole body except his brain beca...

Why Human is Ignorant of Basic Ethics

Humans are living creatures that are not only made of flesh and blood but have some feelings and thoughts, and are to follow certain rules and ethics. But they are running behind wealth, and fame and exhibit a materialistic approach, violating the basics, for which they are in this world. Loyalty is one of these basic values which humans are to adopt. If humans look at the loyalty and sincerity of an animal, like a dog, they will get ashamed of themselves. Such an example is given in the following paragraphs. Once upon there was a family of Bedouin, who were having a herd of sheep. This family used to travel far away in search of food for their sheep, keeping in view the weather changes. During winter this family always preferred to move to the plain and in summer towards the hilly areas. This family had a dog of a good breed which always moved with the herd of sheep for security purposes. This dog had a special affiliation with the Bedouin family and the sheep. It was winter season ...
