WEATLH SANCTION FOLLY

jasimmushtaq@hotmail.com (Jasim Mushtaq) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:38:35 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen the topic is not as such difficult as its wording shows. So, it’s important to know what the topic is, First of all its wealth, so what is wealth? Is it money? Not a single dictionary of English or Finance support that wealth is money. Actually wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material that a person posses in his hand, like access of anything including antiquity, feeling; information; knowledge; learning; inarticulate speech, and wit. While sanction is, “Authoritative permission or approval that makes a course of action valid”, and lastly Folly is “An act or instance of foolishness”. So, combining these thee definitions it shows clearly that the topic means “access of valuable resources make a course of foolishness valid”. Or a “foolish person can be wise with wealth”.

Journey from innocence to maturity

angelsana66@hotmail.com (sana tariq) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:47:18 +0000

Sitting in a dark room, feeling sad and lonely, i felt some shadows moving in my mind. with a flash i found those shadows becoming clearer and clearer. and it didn't take me long to recognizes those shadows. yes it was me. 'MY CHILDHOOD'. when i was as pure as an angel, as pretty as an angel and as innocent as a chirping sparrow. When my mischievous attitude spread laughter around as the sweet fragrance of rose. when i was free from all the anxiety's and worries of life an ran behind the beautiful coloured butterfly considering it the most precious thing of the world. when i was ignorant of the harsh realities of life and thought it a bed of beautiful roses. when giving and taking love from others was best achievement for me. it was the time, when I was what I was!!!
