Zobaib and other dear fellows kiñdly appraise my expansion.
If wants were horses even beggars would ride"

The statement enunciated above hold a ground reality of life that all and sundry are over-ridden by the innumerable wants and urges, beyond the purview of being turned into reality. Some are fortunate enough to gratify some of their driving or pressing wants by virtue of the availability of resources and wealth, while many others incapable of materializing what they dream or want owing to scarcity or unavailability of the required resources remain mired all over their life in daydreaming and building castles in the air.
Not every Tom, Dick and Harry can be able to have rides over the magnificent horses. For doing so, one needs be in the possession of sufficient capital to purchase horses to ride over them. likewise beggars can merely be engrossed in having a bee in their bonnet other than actually experiencing the rides of horses; that is something impossible for them.
The current aphorism was matchlessly described by Ghalib in a Urdu verse: " Too many urges were yore as if we kicked the bucket at each."
Men have laden themselves with countless wants that are terribly greater in relation to the availability of resources and means. Even the princes born with the silver spoon in their mouth are unlikely to gratify all of their wants.
Man thus mustn't daydream of what is beyond gratification practicability.Only geniune wants and urges may be endeavored for.A beggar likewise may abandon craving for something he is unable to afford.A person better curtail undue and unguime appetites so as to pave the way for the realization and gratification of important ones. As the saying goes: " Cut your cloth according to your cloth."

Going through the past papers will make you aware of the structure of the paper.There is no precise syllabus for this paper so in order to pass this paper you have to establish full command over English language.
After fixing the flaws of your English language you should move onto practising past papers or any other relevant material

You are right. A command over English language is compulsory for competitive exams. But i have not found anything like composition in any of the grammar book. Any comments please?

One must have the ability to expand one line into couple of paragraphs with proper introduction,arguments,examples and conclusion. Contrary to it one should be able to precise the given passage.In both the cases there is no certain syllabus that needs to be followed. Only practice can make you perfect.

The statement enunciated above hold(HOLDS) a ground reality of life that all and sundry are over-ridden by the innumerable wants and urges, beyond the purview of being turned into reality. Some are fortunate enough to gratify some of their driving or pressing wants by virtue of the availability of resources and wealth, while many others incapable of materializing what they dream or want owing to scarcity or unavailability of the required resources remain mired all over their life in daydreaming and building castles in the air.

_ You have expressed and expanded it well.
_ Indeed, I see pace in your expressions.
_ It would be quite good if you beautified it with a good example.
_ Try to make your ideas more simple.
_ No doubt, you have good expressions but I believe in simplicity of words.
_ Don't allow reader to read a single sentence again for understanding. The more one rereads a single sentence the more chances become of low marks.
_ Overall, you have good grammar and ample amount of worthy expressions.
_ It is my personal opinion and opinion can be disagreed.

Default it is excellent to have giant's strength; but tyrannical to use it like a giant

kindly evaluate the expansion. i am new here and in dire need of senior's guidance.
This famous saying appreciates one to have enough strength but regret to use that strength in tyrannical way. It is indeed, blessing to possess the physical and mental capabilities and talents. It becomes curse when are used to perform dictatorship or cruel activities.
One who is gifted with power of any type becomes liable to put his power in the right direction. Unfortunately, things take place opposite to that. Adolf Hitler who had the true leadership skills and guts haplessly, utilized his strength in persecution of Jews and the holocaust. On contrary, there was Holly Prophet(PBUH) who devoted his strength not only in uniting Muslim ummah but also in bringing others towards the religion. Where he could revenge for his sufferings, he wished amnesty to all.
Same is true for Alexander, the great. It is believed that he was that much powerful that if he had put his capabilities in order to bring peace in the world, he would have been successful. Like many others, he ran behind the lust of power and money. This apposite maxim is not limited to individuals only but also applies equally to nations and countries as well. As majority of world powers on behalf of their nuclear force or strong economy tries to take possession of weak states or play the game of dictatorship with them.
In short, the individuals as well as nations who are strong in any way will be better than many others only if they showcase their strength in proper and beneficial way. What a peaceful the world will be, if strength comes forward jointly to bring peace, unity and love in the world.
