My Aim In Life


Everyone in the world, however great or small, has some aim in Life. A prince may have an aim to be a king and a king may have an aim to be an emperor. A professor aims at being a principal and a peon aims at being a head-peon. Someone's aim for fame, someone's aim for power, someone's for money; while some aim at acquiring knowledge.

I have also a high aim of life though I do not know how far I would be able to realise it. I do not want to run after money, nor after cheap popularity. I have resolved to be a doctor and spend my life in the service of others. I believes it is a good selection. I would not charge high fees and shall never exploit the needy and the poor at the most critical moments of their life.

If were a good a doctor, I would, of course, get fame and popularity. Being a good doctor; having connections with several families, I would naturally acquire power and influence. This profession gives better greater opportunities to serve mankind in their moments of urgent need, when they are involved in a struggle of life and death.

My aim does not end there I shall devote a part of my time in doing free work in charitable dispensaries. I shall follow the principles of truth and justice. Whether I achieve anything substantial in my life is another matter, but I shall always strive to keep my aim pure, honest and honourable.

Patriotism Essay


Patriotism means love for one's country. This love is not created by any artificial methods, but it is already deeply rooted in our heart. Patriotism is an instinct which comes to us from the moment we are born. There are some, who think that patriotism is a narrow-minded sentiment, and a sign of a semi civilized state of mind.

A man loves the whole universe and considers all people of the world as his brethren. This idea of universal brotherhood makes every man a citizen of the world and not of his narrow world, known as his country. We should not be narrow-minded patriots. Love of one's country should not and does not mean hatred of the rest of the world. It is a false patriotism which makes us hate other countries.

True patriotism is based on unselfish love for our country and our respect for its history and culture. It makes us great and teaches us to love mankind as one family, created by one God and governed by the laws of one universe.

A true patriot, therefore, will never like to say such things about other countries as he would not tolerate about his own country. True patriotism demands sacrifices of ones life, family, property and everything. Those who lay down their lives for the sake of the mother-country are martyrs.

Compulsory Military Training


There is a proverb that, "If you want to have peace, prepare for war." The best preparation for war is to keep man-power and munitions ready. Before the beginning of the Second World War, England and France were not prepared for war, while Germany and Japan were prepared for it. England and France wanted peace at any cost, but they forgot the above proverb.

Wars have become a necessary evil in modern times, and the only way to fight out this evil is through a preparation for war at the national level. In every country there are schools and colleges for military training. There are three branches of the army: ground force, naval force and air force. Military training is voluntary in almost all countries.

But in ancient Greece there was compulsory training. Germany and Japan had made military training compulsory till the end of the Second World War. Now there is compulsory military training in Russia, France, China, Italy and Germany and so many other have introduced compulsory military training.




In Pakistan, we are still dependent of our defence upon a professional army. It is with this objective in view that the Commission on National Education has recommended the introduction of compulsory military training in all the schools and colleges of our country. A few years ago a sort of military training called the N.C.C. force was introduced in some of the colleges. But now, after the recent Indo-Pak war, the importance of compulsory military training has been realised anew.

There are many advantages of military training. It develops the sense of orderliness and discipline in a nation. It makes people strong and courageous. The concept of new citizenship is incomplete without military training, it makes soldiers patriotic. It narrows the gap between civil life and military life. No other training can create in our young men the habit of self-obedience, team spirit and co-operation in a better than military training does. A compulsory military training is the only way to make our people smart and active.

Essay On An Accident


Accidents are quite common in Karachi. The drivers are so ignorant of traffic law, and so careless about it, that they never like to look round while driving even on the main roads, or while taking sudden turns. Many a time I have noticed them stopping in the middle of the road, without looking back or sideways and without giving any signal.

It is rather unfortunate that public interest is easily ignored by the drivers. They drive very speedily and carelessly. The buses are often founded over-crowded. Even the traffic police are found helpless because they have failed to control the traffic. Although there are hundreds of buses on the roads, yet they are not sufficient for this huge population. Complaints of the public fall on deaf ears. The middle class travels by rickshaws and taxies. They are also tar more troublesome. They often charge double fare, hence cannot be availed by the poor. The taxi-drivers do not go to short distances. Public is continuously harassed by the all drivers because most of them are illiterate.

One day 1 was going to college with my friend, Amir, we were near the College. We heard a collision between a bus and a truck. The engine and the body of the bus were completely wrecked. The bus was overloaded. Some people were also hanging on the foot-board and some were on the roof of the bus.

The two drivers and six passengers were on the bus were killed instantly. Several of the passengers including a large number of women and children were seriously injured.

The Medical aid was rushed from AbdulSattar Edhi Welfare Centre. The Superintendent of the police and other officials of the Police Department also visited the scene of the accident. The seriously injured were taken to the Civil Hospital Karachi.
