Review:

This book received too much hype among the GenZ and Millennial groups, a lot of people were either recommending it or posting stories on various social media about it. Nowadays a lot of us, rely a lot on social media, and the things that we’ve seen too many times, we regard the same as the gold standard. So I went into this book, with so much enthusiasm and expectation, however, after reading it, the book did not live up to the amount of hype for me. However, this book paints a very realistic depiction of what teenagers are and how we think and that the only thing we cared about is how society perceives us, and judges us for who or what we are doing and how awkward and flawed we are! The book also addresses issues about the anxiety of moving to a new place, and the idea of not fitting in makes us feel. The thing about Sally Rooney’s writing is that she does not use quotation marks, which takes a while to get accustomed to. The thing about Sally Rooney’s this novel, makes me feel like all the fan-fiction I have read, however, that doesn’t mean I didn’t like this book, I honestly did and but would I re-read it again? Maybe.

Trigger Warning: sexual assault; domestic abuse; drug use; casual racism (called out); depression; anxiety; suicide and suicidal ideation.

“Life is the thing you bring with you inside your own head.”

Should Plastic be Banned?

A truly wonderful and magical material, plastic was invented in the year 1907 by Leo Hendrick Bakeman in New York, United States of America. This wondrous material was made from phenol and formaldehyde in a cheap and easy method. Ever since this revolutionary invention, the world as we knew it changed. Plastic replaced many materials in industries. Plastic is so widely used around the world because of its following properties:

Plastic is a hard material
Plastics are a highly dense material
Its tensile strength is high
It is resistant to heat and high temperatures
It is a non-conductor of electricity and heat
It is light in weight
The production of plastic is cheap and simple

All these properties make plastic the most popular material for factories as well as consumers. With the invention of plastic bags, things started to take nosedive in terms of the per capita plastic produced in the world. Everything was hunky-dory until people started to realise that plastic can’t be degraded by natural causes. Its a non-degradable material and will stay in the environment for more than 500 years to come. It is estimated that more than 6 billion metric tons of plastic waste are lying on our earth with no place to go.

Enzymes and bacterias cannot degrade plastic because plastic is not made up of naturally occurring materials. It is a purely man-made material. Most of the plastic is dumped in open lands and far away in oceans. While this seemed like a logical idea until people released that they were polluting the environment, air, water and land. The hazardous chemical in the plastics started to be seen in fishes and crops we eat which ultimately meant that plastic waste that we assumed was gone, was slowly making its way back to our bodies through our food chain. It is said that human beings have already started consuming plastics in small portions and a plastic worth the weight of a debit card in consumed every year by a person.

While plastics can’t be banned completely, because it has made our lives better. Plastic is used in advanced medical equipment to save lives. They are used in the pharma industry, the travel industry and clothing industry and the truth is, human beings cannot live without plastic. But we can surely reduce the consumption of plastic. Banning plastics completely is not a sensible idea.

Why plastic bags should be banned?

There are various alternatives to plastic bags. Jute bags, paper bags and gunny bags are some of them. Plastics bags are not so much necessary that man cannot live without it. And certain kind of plastic bags can not be recycled as well. But they surely can be reused. The habit of reusing the same plastic bags comes into effect only when the manufacture of new plastic bags are banned.

More than 20 million metric tonnes of plastic waste is dumped in the ocean and open lands. More than 50% of these are plastic bags. They are creating enormous pressure on our environment and causing irreversible pollution. It will take a herculean task to get rid of all the plastic that is produced in the world as of now. If it is not banned, then it will be impossible to get rid of it ever and the existence of the human race will be in question.

There are areas in several parts of our ocean which is covered with plastic as big as the size of India. The aquatic life is consuming these plastics and we are consuming them which disturbs the whole food cycle in our ecosystem. Banning plastic bags will at least, if not totally eliminate plastic from our earth, reduce this disturbance to our environment.

Money Heist LACASA DE PAPEL is one of the phenomenon series I have watched with never ending suspense, romance, crime and adventure.

This is a show about a group of robbers who take the near impossible task of robbing ” The Bank Of Spain”. Everything revolves around robbing the bank with ‘THE PERFECT PLAN’ by mastermind being “The Professor” [Alvaro Morte]. What makes this intresting is the depth of the characters with flaws but still you will make an instant emotional connection with them.

There are some good looking and wonderful actors, Alvaro Morte[The Professor], Alba Flores[Nairobi]. My personal favourite is Tokyo[Ursula Corbero], the most volatile character in the show. She seems like she is going to ruin the whole plan at any moment but she has her own ideas to make show more thrilling. She keeps you high and glued to edge of yor seat. She has a great suspense coming in every minurte.

There are two heist set which has push the bar to the heighest and the show is intriguing and more than worthy enough to watch.

It begins with the story will the robbers live or die. It has great suspense about the life’s of robbers,hostages and the”Professor”. What is the story ahead of robbers and hostages, is the story of survival or revenge?.

There are some very emotional moments.

It is the soul of the show thats holds everything beautifully. It has a very catchy suspense that keeps lingering in your head. It is like songs that you can’t avoid while doing anything.

Behind The Scenes!

“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles and you are here now with the power to shape your day and the future.”

Steve Maraboli

Today’s article highlights, ‘Behind the Scenes of Article Writing’. Yes! It is similar to the Behind The Scenes shown during shoots for sitcoms and TV serials.

However, there is a difference. There is no shooting here. I shall be discussing the ‘Off screen tasks’ I perform when framing the articles. So, Lights. Camera. Action! Let’s begin.

Thinking Over The Topic!

Greatest struggle everrrrr! Thinking over a relevant topic for my amazing audience out there is a complex task. There have been times when I just sat at the laptop, staring at the blank word document, wondering what to write and then after realizing that I am out of the ‘mood’ factor, I shut the laptop and decide to work over it maybe later! But still, I manage to come up with some interesting topics for all of my enthusiastic readers who show so much love and appreciation towards my work. Thank you for that! 🙂

Making Word Errors!

Another one of my struggles. While writing the articles, there are many such word errors which I make, while typing with excess speed on the keyboard. I know, I know, the solution is to type with a relaxed pace but I just can’t help it. For me, Writing without speed is like writing without passion.

Working On ‘Perfection’!

Perfection is the key to efficient work. So, that’s exactly my motto. I look forward to adding friendly and interactive connotations in order to make reading an easier task for you!

Thinking Over Framing Of Sentences!

Framing of sentences in an accurate manner is so essential. English is rather a complex language and one needs to be careful in choosing proper set of words that don’t sound impertinent. So, yes! Working over it is a task but that doesn’t actually freak me out!

Sitting Alone In Peace While Writing!

That is so important for me. When writing, I shut the door to my room and just breathe, letting fresh air stroke my mind calmly. Then come the topics which pass my mind like a slideshow and I select the appropriate ones for you!

Thinking Over The Topics And Jotting Them Down For Future Reference!

In that slideshow of thoughts, there occur two or more ‘apposite’ topics which I feel the need to jot down and use them later without forgetting the ‘creativity’ factor in them of course.

Pondering Over The Birth Of Various Fictitious Characters!

Since our company recently incorporated Fiction in the publishing options, I felt the need to make some of the writing medium speak ranging from the inkpot to the laptop! It may sound crazy but that is what makes fiction such an amazing genre. This genre allows you to be crazy and senseless!

Famous Fictional Characters Everyone Knows

These were some of the steps I take, in order to ensure that good content turns out (specifically for the articles). Thank you for tuning in! You are free to contemplate over the message if you want to! 😉

Happy Writing! 🙂

Thank You For Reading!

Anger

Anger is one of the basic human emotions, as elemental as happiness, sadness, anxiety or disgust. These emotions are tied to basic survival and were honed over the course of human history. Anger is related to the “fight, flight, or freeze” response of the sympathetic nervous system, it prepares humans to fight. But fighting doesn’t necessarily mean throwing punches. It might motivate communities to combat injustice by changing laws or enforcing new norms.

Of course, anger too easily or frequently mobilized can undermine relationships or damage physical health in the long term. Prolonged release of the stress hormones that accompany anger can destroy neurons in areas of the brain associated with judgment and short term memory and weaken the immune system. For those who struggle with chronic anger, or for those who only experience occasional outbursts, learning skills to identify and navigate this powerful emotion can lead to growth and change.

What causes anger?

The question of why some shrug off annoyances while others explode in rage is a fascinating one. One model of anger, put forth by psychologist Jerry Deffenbacher, posits that anger results from a combination of the trigger event, the qualities of the individual, and the individual’s appraisal of the situation.

The trigger is the event that provokes anger, such as being cut off in traffic or yelled at by a parent. The qualities of the individual include personality traits, such as narcissism, competitiveness, and low tolerance for frustration, and the pre-anger state, like levels of anxiety or exhaustion. Perhaps most importantly is cognitive appraisal—appraising a situation as blameworthy, unjustified, punishable, etc. The combination of these components determines why and if people get mad.

How can I manage my anger?

If you are often carried away by anger, it can be helpful to understand the patterns that trigger you. It’s possible to intervene at different points along the way to deal with anger effectively.

1. Sleep: Sleep deprivation makes it harder to control angry impulses, so regular, healthy sleep can prevent you from being provoked.

2. Consider alternative interpretations: And ask yourself what evidence you have to support your angering interpretation. Consider different perspectives.

3. Take deep breaths: Take long, slow, deep breaths, using the diaphragm rather than the chest.

4. Avoid the “catharsis myth”: Venting anger, acting with aggression, and viewing aggressive content does not tend to release anger effectively.

5. Know that it’s ok to get mad: If you have been wronged, treated unfairly, or provoked, you should get angry, but express it assertively instead of aggressively.

How can I manage anger that’s warranted?

In cases of warranted anger, such as a coworker who never contributes to collaborative projects, you may want to use a different set of anger management tips. In those situations:

1. Distance yourself from the angering situation. This will help you stop ruminating and develop a clear path forward.

2. Dedicate time to thinking about how to solve the root problem so it doesn’t occur again.

3. Express your anger assertively, with a solutions-oriented approach, rather than aggressively.

LEARN FROM FAULTS-STORY OF A TEENAGER

” I know that changes in me are due to activation of hormones in teenage. The cuddle hormone is responsible for that. I’m the one who likes to enjoy my life to the fullest and I could not control the thoughts that are running at high speed with new energy. I’m curious about to join in a college where I can find many new friends to enjoy the college life along with my academics. I can still remember the first day in my college where I met an unforgettable person in my life.

At initial days I felt delighted to go college and enjoyed my studies along with my friend whom I met on the first day. With in few weeks we both became best friends and we used to bunk the classes when we feel bore. After some days my attendance report was sent to my parents, by seeing my attendance report my parents scolded me a lot. I felt very bad on that day and next day when I went to college I discussed every thing that was happened in my home with my bestie. After listening to my words he cooled down me and made me to feel better from my guilt. At that day I felt happy to have such a friend.

His presence made me to do crazy things with a pretty smile on my face but I have never recognized that I’m neglecting my studies. Slowly my mind got turned to bad things, I started smoking along with my friend with out knowing the consequences. At that time I don’t know that those cigars contain drugs in them. I have addicted to those cigars a lot and my studies got damaged totally. One day, my parents got to know about me through my principle because of a robbery that was made by me and my friend.

When my principle asked me and my friend about the robbery, he simply throwed that mistake on me and escaped from their. I never expected that from him and I regretted a lot for having such a worst person as a friend in my life. I said every thing that happened to me with my parents on that day but they didn’t spill a word on me and immediately next day they took me for counselling. Slowly I started understanding my parents and their love and care on me but I bagged a bad name in front my lecturers and my cousins insulted my parents a lot because of me.

After a lot of counselling sessions I realized about the importance of career in my life and started my new journey with focused mind and today I owned a job in an MNC with an outstanding salary. Guys, I just want to convey you one thing that, be conscious while choosing your friends and don’t neglect the words of your parents especially when your are in teenage. Never forget to learn from your previous mistakes. ”

From the above story, I can definitely say that most of the teenagers have confronted with various situations where they can distract from their studies. The teenager life is too complicated in every persons life and we have to understand that it is a phase where everyone want freedom and wishes to fly heights. So my dear teenagers, beware of your root point where you have to come back though you fly at heights and always remember that time is the precious gift that can’t bring back once if you wasted it. So please use your time wisely to reach your motives with out any distractions.

Virtual entertainment become worldwide famous but the hosting servers and applications are different in each country but all the web entertainment providers can be used under a single gadget of smartphones. We have some amazing web series that keeps us to hook up to screens and worthy watching them.

I have discussed the opinions that were fair enough for me to give an introduction about these sites if you are newbie. So let me discuss about the top series that are favored by people to entertain them when they are totally collapsed by their work burden or studies pressure.

The Family Man Season 2 (Amazon Prime)

This concept is about a middle-class family that narrates the story of the husband of the family working under a secretive branch of National Forces Agency for Investigation. He risks his life while trying to balance the protection of nation and his own family with the impact of terrorists with his pressurized, low paying job followed by the second part of it where the comeback of an enemy threatens the nation. This is a kind of drama filled with emotions, affection and trust that makes us feel with tears.

Special Ops (Amazon Prime)

The Captain of a Special Operation Team is attacked surprise when his team along with him were on their mission to rescue a life-threatening nuclear weapon as they have to escape by tracking the hidden bomb but also proving himself from innocence from a false complaint as undergoing the government rules. This story seems an action-packed one with continuous thrills after every scene making audience seated until the series is completed. A worth series to be seen.

Hostages (Amazon Prime)

This is a suspense-thriller where a family has been house-arrested by terrorists as the woman in the family has to operate a surgery of the country power man Prime Minister that has to take place as a failure to save her family but the situation remains still confusing for viewers followed by the murder of the Minister by his own agent and lands up under siege in the hands of police force along with his friends. His challenge is to save his wife as she is at a worse condition, Will he succeed is the main sequence of the drama so stay focused to know the logic behind this if you are to have a completed experience of feel from this series.

Criminal Justice (Amazon Prime)

This deals with the deep concept of sexual abuse and the rape containing the aspects of the misbehaved with the wife itself barring exceptions by concealing it to themselves less to the features of law such as police and courts followed by the murder of the husband by his own wife that is hidden by a lawyer where her daughter comes as witness and the question revolves the reason behind the murder of her own husband. This is a series that can be viewed casually but avoid this mostly as it contains spoiler alert scenes which is worse.

Delhi Crime (Netflix)

The script that won the hearts of people globally including the International Emmy Awards 2020 that a crime thriller that has its full packed story for second season also that goes through the story of a gangrape murder case that happened in reality also the struggles and challenges behind the capture of those culprits the criminals of the society. This is a best novel and story I have seen before. The screenplay is really eye-catching and attracting to watch till the end. You can experience it watching.

Paatal Lok (Amazon Prime)

This journal takes you out to a maze as it confuses you a bit same as the cop, the main character itself struggles to find out the real happening as it is all a fake happening framed by someone else to secure themselves. The innocents are nabbed but the real mystery is hidden very secretly. This can help to ease out your time and relax for few minutes as it doesn’t contain the track and pulls the anxiety of thrill to audience.

Made in Heaven (Amazon Prime)

This is a generous sequence of the two persons Tara and Karan working as wedding coordinators in New Delhi under an agency that is the title name “Made in Heaven”. A normal routine life concept with some facts and humors a bit each. To while away your time this might be helpful.

Asur (Netflix and Amazon Prime) 2^nd edition

The second edition talks about the battle between the bad side and justice that Asur has promised to balance the scale that is totally a action packed series that shows face to face the confrontation clearly that will create an awareness among the bad and worse things happening.

Breathe (Amazon Prime) into the Shadows

This is 12 level episodes filled with the anxiety of thrill that revolves around for the search of a girl missing by their family members. Finally lands to the kidnapper itself covered with a mask after the sequence takes you to the core of each scene that is to be happened next that will be a perfect family entertainer also for a day.

Breathe (Amazon Prime)

An, appreciable factor is that the criminal is a south Indian actor as his acting was a lot more than I guessed. It is another entertainer to be watched with the family as you won’t find your time running at ease with this kind of story that explores the living of normal person with unexpected situations combine the deaths of unconnected ones who is an Officer of the Main and investigation Branch that led to the convict after conclusion of the clues. You can try watching it if possible.

Inside Edge (Amazon Prime)

This is a different concept so far; I have discussed where it explains the tough and hard impact on the members of a T20 franchise players to play in a league match. This team ‘Inside Edge’ becomes the powerful team consisting of men and women to destroy their obstacles behind the players and match fixers to reach their goal. Can be viewed as it is related to sports directed by the story of Mumbai Mavericks.

Code M

This story takes you to the peak of suspense where a officer is murdered by the corresponding militants themselves that is taken to the lawyer of the defense to investigate as it seems like an outdated and closed case.

I have given my experience with these web series but avoided series from other platforms as to ensure that no sexuality shots should be accompanied with those and I can these as genuine compared to others mostly in my opinion. So, it took me a long day enough to choose drama titles.

MOUNTAINS v/s BEACHES

Who doesn’t enjoy a good vacation. The question always comes down to is whether to go to the mountains or the beach. This debate has been going on for a long time. Let’s consider both the alternatives and make a decision that suits us the best.

MOUNTAINS

The primary reason people choose mountains is to enjoy the peace that comes with it. There are many tourists in hill stations but as you go on a higher altitude, there shall be lesser people and thus more peace and calm.
Trekking is one of the best activities during a hill station vacation. It really gets your blood pumping and as you go higher and higher you can practically feel your soul enjoying every moment of it because you know the view on the top would be mesmerizing.
Another thing you won’t find in any other place is the clean air. You can smell the fragrance of the pine trees all around and it is proven that the fragrance of pine helps in battling depression, anxiety and hostility.
The views from the mountains are always breathtaking. Even while you are driving to reach your destination you can see mountains all around you and that beauty is unmatched.
Mountain vacations are best for people who love to take some time off and just disconnect from the world. These areas rarely have cell reception and if that is not the way to disconnect then I don’t know what is.
Mountains are a place to just relax and think. If your job demands a lot of creative thinking, in that case you must try the solace a hill station can offer you. It really opens up your mind because there is so much quite and you can feel the creative juices flowing in your mind.
A vacation to a mountain is best for a solo trip. If you are planning on going on a solo trip, a hill station must be your first choice.
Some of the best hill stations in India are: Dharamshala, Mussoorie, Kufri, Chail, Nanital, Triund, Lahaul-Spiti Valley and the list goes on.

BEACHES

First and foremost a beach vacation lets you soak up as much Vitamin-D as you want which is great for your health.
Beach vacations are great if you have a large group of friends. Beaches are great to just sit down and have fun conversations with your friends.
There are a lot of fun activities to do while on a vacation like, go deep sea diving, play Frisbee or volleyball, build sand castles or maybe have a picnic.
The best part of a beach vacation is the sound of waves crashing up on the shore and the purely blissful scenic beauty.
People who prefer beaches are always high on energy.
If you have ever been on a beach you would have seen how chill people are. Everyone is in their own element. There is absolutely no care in the world.
Beaches attract more tourists than mountains so there is the element of diversity.
People on a beach vacation never sleep. You can be out as long as you want and would always be people around just walking and talking.
Such vacations are cheaper as compared to any other destination.
Lastly but not the least you get a great view of the sunset and the sunrise. The night sky is beautiful, full of stars and you can just let it all in.
Some of the great destinations for a beach vacation are: Goa (of course), Andaman and Nicobar islands, Pondicherry, Kerala and many more.

Have you decided which one are you? But you know it doesn’t matter if you are a beach person or a mountain person, you must take a vacation once a year just to relax, rest, enjoy and detach yourself from the hustle and bustle of life. Take out some time to travel but keep the ongoing pandemic in mind while finalizing the destination. Safe travels!

Social Media

Social media is a big tool and has a huge impact on individuals and their lives. While some impacts can be positive, social media has been shown to negatively affect things like our moods and stress levels. Addiction is caused by social media too. With access to it anytime of day on our phones, it’s easy to fall into the bad habit of checking it everywhere – during a meal, in class when a professor is talking, or even in bed when it’s time to sleep!

Genrally what we consume daily is what we become eventually many people get confuse in their life because they are not ableto enjoy their life as they are comparing their luife with life of someone they haver followed virtually,

social media create fake scenarios among young individual, only some percent of people use it wisely other just get depressed by seeing other persons life.

Social media has been a part of our lifestyle since last few years but eventually it is more disturbing now, social media was created to share information’s, to communicate with people, to make friends but now its idea has been changed widely its used for posting pictures, posting about how they buy new car its a whole show off business this can adversely affect young minds i think their should be some age restriction regarding use of social media

AT last I would say, Blaming someone or some users wont help well who are users they are people like us scrolling Instagram or Facebook hours by hours and wasting their time, i think we have power to use it in positive way just wasting time wont help

Think wisely !!

My source of inspiration 방탄소년단

“Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin color, gender identity: speak yourself.”
-BTS(UNICEF)

Bangtan Boys also known as BTS is a Korean-pop group, currently the biggest phenomenon of the music industry with a huge fandom named A.R.M.Y. It is a seven-member boyband and their names go like this, Kim Namjoon(RM), Kim Seokjin(Jin), Min Yoongi(Suga), Jung Hoseok(Jhope), Park Jimin(Jimin), Kim Taehyung(V), Jeon Jungkook. BTS debuted on 13th June 2013 under Bighit Entertainment.

BTS, through their songs, talk about personal issues and society’s expectations, and commentary on youth. They focus on mental issues, depression, and almost everything that people usually don’t prefer to talk about. Moreover, they are inspiring and touching the hearts of millions of people every day through their lyrics. From the beginning of their career, they told stories that are very much familiar to our stories like teenage love affairs, the desire to achieve everything, society’s expectations on you, depression. So basically, it’s like a guy next door story which we all can relate.

“If you want to love others, I think you should love yourself first.”
-RM

“Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream“
-V

Back in 2013, BTS was completely unknown to the world they hardly had 200 to 300 people to cheer them up. All seven of them used to live in a small dorm with very little to no luxury, they were discriminated against by the other companies as they come from a small and completely underrated company(Big Hit). They were never invited to big shows, got so much hatred and criticism from the pop community because of their looks, clothes, make-up, and were accused of false plagiarism. But despite the hardships they have faced, they’ve pushed themselves and never lost hope. They fought together, stood against the negativity, and motivated themselves to just moved on to make a better version of themselves every day. They released 22 albums till now each album sharing a different story. They have learned to love themselves for who they are and accept their flaws. Just like that, they want us to love ourselves and end self-hatred and bring peace into our lives.

“In the middle of the road, at the moment you want to give up, shout out even louder: “So what?”
-BTS

And now, their efforts paid off. They have won 370 awards including National awards, Billboard awards, Asian artist awards, the American Music Awards, etc. 549 nominations including the Grammys. And attained 26 Guinness World records and broke the records of Michael Jackson and The Beatles. They got covered by TIME magazine as “The next generation heroes”. They are the brand ambassadors of Hyundai, FILA, Louis Vuitton, Samsung, Coca-Cola, and many more. BTS delivered a speech at the UN general assembly as a part of the “LOVE MYSELF” campaign that they have launched in 2017 and partnered with UNICEF’s “End Violence” program. BTS generates 4 trillion Korean won as economic value to their country per year and 1.42 trillion won as added value per year, according to the 2018 report( Hyundai Research Institute). BTS contributes 1.7% of total Korean consumer goods export.

“Love myself, love yourself, peace.”
-Suga

“Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.”
-RM

Their growth is phenomenal.

From small dorms to spacious hotel rooms.

From congested practice rooms to a multi storey building.

From 200 fans to millions of ARMYs.

From a few lightsticks to an ocean of purple lights.

From small-town boys to Global leaders.

From ordinary teenagers to legends.

“In the dark night, don’t be lonely, Like the stars, we shine, Don’t disappear, because you’re a great existence, Let us shine”
-BTS(Mikrokosmos)

“Purple is the last colour of the rainbow colours. So means I will trust and love you for a long time.”
― Kim Taehyung

They have achieved everything they wanted but always stay the same as they were a few years ago. This is a story of models, dancers, singers, philanthropists, the next generation leaders, and more importantly our well-wishers.

Their journey is worth telling, as an ARMY I will not stop narrating this story to the world.

CAN WE BUY EVERYTHING WITH MONEY?

In todays world we all are in a race to earn more money to get everything but we never think about the things that we can’t buy with money because we all think that those things are very easy to get. In trying several methods to earn money we all miss the small and precious pleasures that life offers to us. We people sometimes behave too greedy in earning money and at some stage of our life we feel that money can itself give us all things we want. Yes, of course money can give us a good stature in the society but we can’t buy our health, satisfaction, happiness and many more things with money.

The most important thing in every body’s life is having a lovable and supportable family with us. Many of us think that we can buy those relationships with money or some of us may also think that every relation is made for the sake of money only. Guys we can buy the relations with money but we should always remember that we can’t buy the true love and effection of our dear ones with money. There is also a saying that the people who enters in our life because of our money will leave us easily when we loose all our assets.

It is important for all of us having an efficient money to enjoy the luxurious life style and it is also important for us to look after our parents who crossed all the barriers to see their children in heights but most of us neglect them when we reach our desired position and we forget about the responsibilities on us but I’m sure guys we can never get back our parents love and care once after losing them in our life though we are ready to pay a large amount of money for them. Guys , Money has it’s own signature in every moment of our life that may be positive or negative.

It is necessary for everyone to understand about the adverse effects of the money in order to know about the reality of our society. Guys always be conscious before losing anything that is available in nature that may be your parents or your health or your time and most importantly your life because you can not bring them back with your money if you lose them once.

To be clear, I’m not against of earning money or improving assets but I’m trying to convey that spend your money wisely and know the reality of the society to lead your life in a perfect way. Money can arrange all the necessary things in your life to survive but it is not only the thing which helps you to live your life happily. The only aim of this article is, one should give equal priority to their values and responsibilities in this running world apart from earning money and should understand that money is something that we need but not every thing in life and never forget that time is more precious than money.
