Unity is Strength
It is an admitted fact that unity is strength and disunion causes ruin. For example, we may take the case of a cricket or a football team. If the teammates co-operate with each other, they will form a strong team. But if the team members think only about their own success, they will surely lose the game. The same is true with a family or a society or an army or even a nation. Napoleon’s motto was, ‘Divide and Conquer’. He tried to split the armies fighting against him. Then he would overcome them one by one. So a united family, a united community, a united society, a united nation is always strong. But those who are disunited or split up into factions or groups, are all weak and succumb to destruction. United we stand, divided we fall.
Punctuality
Punctuality is a habit which must be cultivated by every cultured person. It is the mark of culture and civilization. It has been rightly called the ‘soul of businesses’. In our daily life, we have to attend to various types of business. This brings us in contact with other people. We hardly realize that in being late, how much annoyance and worry we unnecessarily cause to others. If a man has various duties to attend to, he must be punctual, otherwise his life will be a failure. It is not an easy thing to be punctual. It requires a man all the energy to regulate his life. A man who is punctual and keeps his appointment is sure to be held in high esteem by others.
Smoking is Injurious to Health
All of us are aware of the harmful effects of smoking on our health and the environment around us. Each and every part of our body gets affected by smoking. In very simple words we can say that smokers are pushing themselves to death. Tobacco is full of different carcinogenic chemicals. It contains Nicotine which is an addictive drug. These chemicals cause various life threatening conditions such as lung cancer emphysema and cardio-vascular diseases. There are a number of other diseases which are caused by cigarette smoking. Examples are stroke, mouth and throat cancer, ulcer, cancer of the larynx, pulmonary disease, bladder and cervical cancer. There is no way you will lose by giving up smoking and no way you will profit by continuing the habit.
School and Society
It is known to all that the relation between school and society is very close and integral. We cannot think of a school without a society and on the other hand, a society without school is quite absurd. Therefore, the school should arrange its programs in such a way that they strengthen the relationship between school and society. We know that programs in school must be planned and should be based on the social tradition and principles. So a learner must be acquainted with such experience which is relevant to his or her social life. This acquaintance makes the learner able to solve the social problem and satisfy the social needs. The school must play an active part to relate itself with the society. Society is an ever changing entity. A school has to keep pace with the changing society and to do that the curriculum should be reviewed regularly keeping in mind the change in social demand and needs.
Usefulness of School Magazine
School magazines are useful in many ways. Many of the students do not read books other than their textbooks. Their knowledge will not increase if they do not read other books. If we are to write any article for the magazine, we must necessarily read many new books. Thus it widens our knowledge. If a fellow student writes an article for the school magazine, others may be inspired to follow his example. If the students practise writing for the school magazine, their style of writing will be much improved. In this way, many of them may become good writers in future. Thus the school magazine helps in developing the students’ power of writing as well as thinking. So every school should have a magazine of its own.
Self-help
Self-help is a great quality which is a gift of God. God helps those who help themselves. We should not depend upon others. Dependence makes us weak and submissive. Self-help begets self-respect in a man. Independent attitude makes a man confident. A man, who does not depend upon others, acquires fame and honour. He acquires faith in himself and hence has faith upon others. Things become easier to him. Such a man is honest and hard-working. Success is his gift from God. He has the power to face the world boldly. Self-help strengthens mind power. The people, who are self-dependent, are prosperous in life. We, therefore, should try to acquire self-dependency from our early childhood.
Uses and Abuses of Mobile Phone
The most of us nowadays carry the world in our pocket! It is amazing but true. A mobile phone can make us connected to the rest of the world within a second. Today, mothers do not have to remain in tension if their sons or daughters are late. Businessmen need not have to queue up before a telephone booth to make an important call. Apart from making call and sending SMS, the mobile phone is used as a multipurpose gadget. It is a calculator, time piece, calendar, radio, voice recorder, media player, camera, gaming device, net browser and what not. Though mobile phone is a giant step of technological advancement, its abuses cannot at all be overlooked. Talking or texting while driving may lead to accident. Students misuse this tool in various ways and give way to social pollution.
Importance of Time
‘Time and tide wait for none’—goes the proverb. Yet we waste time without thinking its importance. An examinee when hears the warning bell in the examination hall can surely feel its importance. Ticking of the clock is always reminding us that they are going away forever. A particular moment will never return. If we are late, we miss train or bus or any other thing. So we have to be cautious that if we are not aware, we may miss more precious things in life. Time makes a child adult and it is the time which snatches the vital youth from us and thrusts us towards death. Misuse of time will ultimately lead us to despair and frustration
