SHORT ESSAY ON SPORTS

"All work and no play

Makes jack a lazy boy"

  

Work, how ever interesting it may be, is always burdensome. Games provide us with a chance to get a break -through in the dull,., dry and drab routine of life. They give us entertainment as well as exertion. Without sports, life would lose much of its charm.

Longfellow rightly says: “As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so does change of studies to a dull brain" As a student, I need sports as much as I need food. The studious task of reading books, writing answers and memorizing formula renders me mechanical. Sports give me a blessed break in my studies. "Health is wealth" is an old saying. And sports keep us healthy. A bookworm, like a silk worm, licks away books and finally the books lick him away. Youth is a time of energy. S.T, Coleridge, the famous Romantic poet, describes his youthful potential by saying that his body was:

Like those trim skiffs, unknown of yore

 On winding lakes and rivers wide

 That asks no aid of sail or oar

  That fears no spite of wind or tide

Young boys want to exert power. If they are deprived of a chance to show animal spirits, they give vent to their potential in wrong ways. So games must be played in colleges and schools. Girls should not be neglected here. They may be allowed to play indoor games like badminton, skipping, swimming etc. Different games impart different skills to the players. “Football is by power, hockey by trick, cricket by chance" Thus every game gives different training to the players. In general, all games teach sportsman spirit. The players learn how to accept challenges, follow rules, obey the captain, and accept the umpire's or referee's decisions. The players learn how to accept defeat and digest victory which so much matters in life.

On a larger scale, sports ensure interaction between different nations, their cultures, languages, dishes, heroes and histories. Thus players introduce a country in the world. They are the ambassadors of a country. Sports bring a lot of foreign exchange also. There is a wise saying “All people are good except those who are idle". Because “An idle mind is the devil's workshop" a game "teaches through delight" and trains the youth through healthy competitions.

SHORT ESSAY ON MY AMBITION

Life is the name of co-operation between different professions. They are all important and vital in the entire scheme of life. Life can not run smooth without any of them. A doctor treats us against diseases. Health is wealth. There is no substitute of health. Similarly, engineers are very important in the development of a country or a nation. Farming, weaving, tailoring, sports, are all indispensable for the smooth running of life.

 But where do all doctors, engineers etc come from? Certainly they come from different educational institutions. They are the out put of a teacher. Thus teaching is the mother of all professions.

 My aim of life is to become a teacher of literature. Teaching is a noble profession. This is the sacred profession of prophets. If there were no other reason, I would prefer teaching for this reason. All prophets are the chosen people of Allah. The holy prophet says, “I have been sent as a teacher.

Had there been any other sublime task of We Allah would have assigned it to His prophets. No, there is nothing else that can hold a candle to being a teacher.

I would love to teach literature rather than sciences. It is so because literature takes up the case of man— the Crown of Creation. It helps us understand the various aspects of man. Science deals with man as a multicellular organism. Sir Richard Livingstone says “Specialization in science is a particular danger." More over, it's only literature that talks of morality which is fast vanishing. Values ore on the decline, Man is becoming a literate animal. The warmth of heart is dwindling. Plato says, “All of our departments of life would ultimately fail for want of only one branch of knowledge, the knowledge of good and evil”.

The reason for present depravity is that teaching and preaching of values is almost nowhere. Horace Mann, a great philosopher says "A teacher who is attempting to teach .without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron"

So I shall inspire my students into learning. I know that knowledge is the fountain head of all human progress. Knowledge is the land whence all the springs of progress sprout. Napoleon says," In the long run, the sword is always beaten by the mind" So I will shape the thinking of my students on modern yet moral lines. A teacher shapes the character of his students. Clay itself is nothing but a mud of soil. It’s only the hand of a potter that gives it shape. I shall try my best to shape the character of my taught in the best manner. They will become vital members of society. I value teaching as an opportunity to sow to revolutionize not only a person but a whole family, a Whole society. It gives an opportunity for national, religious and human devices.

SHORT ESSAY ON FRIENDSHIP

Aristotle says, "Man Is a social animal". Hence we see that in the entire crowd of eighteen thousand kinds of creations, man lives in the most organized social manner. Man's life is a life of interdependence and interplay. Man has been created very weak and dependent. In his joys and sorrows, he looks for somebody to share them with him. Joys, when shared, are doubled and sorrows halved. It is therefore said that a friend, is a blessing of God. Poor is not he who has no penny, but he who has no friends. A friendless man is like a tree without leaves. It is also said that one who does not have a friend is either an angel or a devil.

There is a variety of friends. We must make friends with good people. A bad friend is worse than a good enemy. Frances Beacon says, "Friends, like books, must be a few but well chosen". One must be very careful in choosing friend. The best quality of a good friend is his sincerity, love and understanding.

Friends also reflect the personality of a person. They become his introduction. Good friends also increase the Friend’s fame and also reflect the personality of a person. "A man is known by the company he keeps". Emily Bronte, in her poem, "I Am the Only Being" bewails the condition of a friendless girl. She paints a friendless life like a barren land. A life in which joys and woes are not shared with anybody is a life of suffocation and frustration. "Love me or hate me but spare me your indifference" Thus even grievances of friends are valuable. They show that they have some hopes with you. S.T. Coleridge rightly says, "Friendship is a sheltering tree". A tree showers fruits even on those who fling stones on it. A true friendship can sustain only with a spirit of tolerance and forgiveness.
