529 Words Essay on Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity

Emotions
Most of us used to hear from our elders that ‘blessed are those who suffer‘. My age and practical experience have made me fully convinced how correct their words are! Sufferings train us to face hardships and reality of life.They open our eyes and make us judge a friend from a foe. It is agreed that no one likes sufferings or adversity but isn’t it like running away of a serious patient from a surgeon’s knife?It is a fact that life offers sweet as well as bitter fruits to everyone. But the fact is that no one likes the bitter fruits of adversity. It is unwelcome like an unwanted guest. It could chance upon us in any form-disease, loss, accident or sorrow.

366 Words Essay on The Saddest Day of My Life

Events
Life of each and every individual is a rare blend of tears and smiles; sadness and laughter; happy celebration as well as mourning. The pity is that tears far outnumber the moments of laughter. Shakespeare has correctly said, “The moments of happiness are rare in the general drama of pain.”The bitter truth is that there are some days in the life of an individual that are very difficult to forget. The events of those days remain indelibly etched in his memory forever, as they are not ordinary. Such days are often instrumental in turning the course of his life. These days could be sad or happy.I find it really too difficult to forget the 30th of November, 2002, which was the saddest day of my life. The memory of that…

435 Words Essay on Self Help (free to read)

Development
It is rightly said that ‘God helps those who help themselves.’ It means that we must be self-confident and learn to move about and proceed without the assistance of crutches. No one can deny that the key to an immortal glory is the attitude of self-help. It implies that a person should not remain dependent on anyone to do a large part of his work and should act without relying on the help of others.A person who is used to work with his own hands is always happy- He does not have to look at others to do small jobs like washing, cleaning, cooking, etc. If a child is taught to be self- reliant, he grows up into a confident individual. He learns to respect the labour of other people.He…

619 Words Essay on The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword

Events
The final verdict has yet to be pronounced whether the pen or the sword is mightier. The supporters of each viewpoint have their own logic to present. Both the pen and the sword are very powerful weapons of offence and defense and can make, or mar a person or a country. One can easily ask how the pen can bring physical harm to anyone.In spite of looking harmless and dumb, the pen has the power to mould public opinion and raise the masses to revolt. It was with the power of the pen of a number of poets and writers that we got many young boys and girls to fight for India’s freedom and even sacrifice their lives with a smile on face.The pen is still in great use and…

518 Words Essay on My Favourite Hobbies or How I Spend My Leisure Hours

Photography
Hobbies involve activities that anyone always tries to engage in during his free time. The involvement, which is not meant for the sake of any monetary gains, brings joy and satisfaction. Hobbies vary from person to person.While for one, stamp-collecting may be full of excitement and thrill; for another person the joy may lie in photography; or bird watching. The scope is, virtually, without any limits.Hobbies are of varied nature. Some are solemn or light. Others are costly or trifling. But one thing is certain that they are not utilitarian. May be, at times, they bring in a considerable amount of money, but that is not the spirit in which they are cultivated. Generally, they are undertaken because of the pleasure and occupation they bring to our leisure or idle…

593 Words Essay on A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

Essays
Someone has very aptly and wisely said that a stitch in time saves nine. It contains an invaluable piece of sane advice, which we constantly hear from our teachers in school and elders at home. This highly useful, didactic dictate applies to every field of activity.It implies that work done in time saves a lot of labour, later on. To illustrate it further, it can be said that suppose there is a tear in your shirt, the wisest thing is to stitch it up without any delay, otherwise there will be tears all the way down, which would require a lot more labour and time to put a patch on it. And the final effect too would not be as tidy as it would have been, if it had been…

614 Words Essay on The Evils of Bad Company

Games
The wise and the elderly never get tired of reminding their children that a man is known by the company he keeps. He is supposed to be a man of good character and worthy ideals, if he is seen moving with well-behaved, courteous and intelligent people.However, he becomes an object of suspicious looks, doubtful character and unworthy of the company, in case he is found with persons of loose talks and wavering temperament.Even otherwise, the saying has every element of truth in it. Bad company is as much infectious and contagious as good company. It spreads like wild fire. It does no good to anybody. Whosoever comes within its area of influence is cut to pieces.

499 Words Essay on Unwanted Guests

History
According to our age-old tradition a guest is to be welcomed and treated like a revered deity. He deserves a red- carpet welcome whether he comes during the day or at night. Time or convenience is immaterial.Times have, however, now changed a lot and guests are no longer accorded a hearty treatment. On the other hand, they are often cold-shouldered and treated with contempt.This drastic change in attitude is not without its justified reasons. The main reason is the busy schedule of all of us, forcing all the members of almost each and every family to remain away from home during the day-time.
