Friendship

                                                                              Friendship is one of the most precious gifts of life. A person who has true friends in life is lucky enough Friendship makes life thrilling. It makes life as pleasant experience. Friendship is indeed, an asset in life. It can lead us to success or to doom. It all depends on how we choose our friends. True friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. It is a feeling that someone understands and appreciates you as you are It gives a feeling that you are ‘wanted’ and that you are ‘someone’ and not a faceless being in the crowd. A true friend stands by you through thick and thin. True friendship knows no boundaries anything like demarcations of caste, creed, race and sex.

                                      Friendship is both good and necessary. People cannot live all alone. Man is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows. Generally, it is only the people of the same age, character and background, mentality, etc., who can understand him and understand his problems. Friends are needed for support and for sharing. Friendship is an elixir which is essential for a happy life.

                                  We should need to select our friends very carefully. We have to remember the maxim “All that glitters is not gold”. In the same manner, we must not be moved by apparent show of friendship. Many remain with us in the guise of good friends and lead us to the wrong path. Today, many youngsters have become social nuisance mainly due to wrong company and bad friends.

                                       We spent much of our time with them. Their mental outlook, behaviour, attitudes affect us too. Therefore, we have to choose our friends very carefully. We have to distinguish between fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with us through thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days.Lasting friendship is indeed, a blessing. Good friends are great pillars of life. They help us to stand tall and erect in life. Friendship can make or break us. It can lead to good careers and proper living. It does not matter how often you meet your friends, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times. True friendship is a great thing in life

LIFE

                                                                                       As life goes on, things get more complicated. You are no longer a child, but an adult who faces reality. To you, real life is nothing like fairy tales which we can seen in the movie or some other fairy tales. Problems are not being easily solved and confusions are everywhere. But if there a problem, sure there will be a solution. There is never a long period of rest and peace. You should always be aware of everything preventing you to live an easy life. Moments of sadness and misery are much more frequent than those of happiness, filling your head with indescribable madness. Life is not only black and white, but is different shades of grey. No one is really right or wrong. Every person you trust may suddenly be gone. Now you wonder if every choice you make in life is a bet.

                             What you can only do is to trust your instincts and prepare for the worst. 
Despite the dark side, life can be full of excitement and surprises. As long as it is interesting and fulfilling, this world is no longer cruel and cold. Warmth and smiles still exist. Although there can be many bad times, never give up for a moment until your last breath. As there is a saying that every cloud has a silver lining, hope is always there for us. Hopes are support to live us. Don’t be a failure of life. Life is an attractive thing which we can feel in a better way. Don’t think undermind on your self. Be your self and go ahead. Then you can understand what is the real meaning of the life.

                           As students we have a good knowledge about the society. we can understand various lives with various characteristics. Those are the best things to learn what is the real life. Don't fear to go to the society and also the world. If you go ahead with a good understanding world will welcome you warmly.

MONEY

                                       
                                                There is no any doubt that money is so essential for our healthy living. Money is almost everything for us to live a life and maintain the good stats in the society. It is the money which fulfils the need of bringing necessary comfort to of the life. If one has money, he or she  can get anything in their life. It is the money which helps us in developing good personality, improving confidence, makes us able to creditworthiness, improving capacity, increasing capabilities and enhancing our courage to a great level. Without money we feel helpless and alone in this world where no one is ready to help and assist. In the current materialistic world, money is very important and powerful thing without which one cannot live and survive.

                                             Modern world, in order to earn more money in wrong ways, bad people are taking help of struggling, murder rich people of the society, and other bad activities by degrading the moral and ethical values of the humanity. Lazy people follow wrong ways to earn money as they understand that these ways are simple and easy however it is not true. One can earn more money in less time and effort but not for long; surely he would be lost in the near future as he is following wrong and weak way. The people who are earning money by following all the rules of humanity earn less money but for long time and they become the high status personality of the society.

                                      People doing corruption save their money as a black money in other countries to keep hidden from the common public and use that money for bad works or increasing their physical luxury. However, common people of the society respects a lot to the people earning money using wrong techniques as they have fear of them and little bit greediness that they can get some money in return whenever required by giving them respect. Money cannot buy or stay the time as well as cannot give true love and care however highly required by all of us to run the life on the right path. It cannot give time and love however gives happiness, confidence, satisfaction, feeling of well being mentally and physically, makes life easy by solving all the difficulties, and many more. According to my thinking there are so many things which we have to achieve more than the money.

Junk food is not a friend

                                             The word junk food speaks itself a lot and indicates its harmful nature to the health. Junk foods are trash food to the health because they are high in calorie, fat, cholesterol, sugar and salt components.

                                                Globalization is a process of worldwide spread of science, technologies, businesses, etc through the means of transportation, communication, and trade. Globalization has affected almost all the countries worldwide in various ways. Those are socially, economically, politically etc.. Globalization is a thing which going on continuously. We can’t say the exact time or date which it started or ending. The effects of globalization can be seen on the tradition, environment, culture, security, lifestyle, and ideas. There are many factors affecting and accelerating globalization trends worldwide.

                                                         The reason of acceleration in the globalization is because of the people demands, free-trade activities, worldwide acceptance of markets, emerging new technologies, new researches in the science, etc. Globalization has huge negative impacts than the positive things on the environment and given rise to various environmental issues like water pollution, deforestation, air pollution, soil pollution, contamination of water resources, climate change, biodiversity loss, etc. All the ever growing environmental issues need to be solved on urgent basis by international efforts otherwise they may finish the existence of life on the earth a day in future.

                                            In order to prevent the loss of environment, there is need of globalization of eco-friendly technologies and huge level environmental awareness among people. In order to deal with the negative effects of globalization, companies need to develop greener technologies which may replace the current status of the environment. However, globalization has helped a lot positively to save the environment by improving various resources like producing hybrid cars etc. Everything has two sides. Likewise globalization is the same. If we use it in a good manner we can produce eco friendly things and also we can promoting education.

                                                   Apple brand has also aimed to manufacture Eco-friendly products to reduce negative impacts of globalization and exceed positive effects. Increasing demands of the ever increasing population lead towards extensive deforestation causing great level environmental issue. Till now, almost half of the useful forests have been cut in the past years. So, there is a need to make globalization under control to reduce its negative effects. All of the people have the responsibility of it. Why because since the morning to evening we also supporting to the accelerating of globalization automatically. Therefore it has become a logically thing. We should think about the now and also the future. If we want a bright future we should think about the every second which we live in the world.

Personality

                       

                                                 In the modern world we haven’t time to think about ourselves. Everyman has their own job to do in their daily life. Sometimes we can’t remember even that who am I? And also we can’t identify our weaknesses and our strengths. When we talk about personality we should talk about our weaknesses and strengths. Why because through them we can identify ourselves easily.

                      When we tell the word “Personality” what comes to your mind. Actually an actor or actress will come to your mind. Why don’t you think about yourself?That is a major weakness of us. Personality has to do with individual differences among people in behavior patterns, cognition and emotion. Personality is different from each one. It has various definitions according to the person who should describe. Then we should think about what is personality development. When we tell the word “development” what comes to our mind. Does it mean physically growth? Actually it isn’t. That meant the relatively enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish individuals from one another. There are some personality types. They are Extraversion-Introversion, Sensing – Intuition, Thinking – Feeling, Judging – Perceiving etc. Not only that there are some personality theories. Namely Trait Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Humanistic Theory, Social Learning Theory etc.

                       Then we should know about how we approach for good personality. Firstly we should be our selves. At many times people are trying to imitate others. Specially peoples are going to be like actors or actress. It is not a suitable thing to develop personality. We should have unique characteristics. Not only that we should adaptable to change. We have to face various situations and various problems. At that time we should have a strength to adapt those things.  Likewise we have to ability to smile. Smile is a strong thing which we have. When we smile we can give a warm welcome to others. Actually beautiful smile also a good quality in our personality.

                                     Not only that we should think and feel good about ourselves. We shouldn’t under mind ourselves.  Why because we should think about ourselves are the best. Through following these things we can have a better personality. If we have a good personality we have Self Confident, Ambitious and hard working, we can do our job properly and we can achieve high results in our career.
