It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.

The proverb means very need of thing makes life impossible. One who has nothing he cannot stand upright in the way of survival. Empty clouds never rain. A man with might, knowledge, perfect character and passion stands upright in life. He stands up in front of every misfortune and mishap. He is like a fulfilled bag that has strength to stand upright. A man who is uneducated, poor, passionless and materialistic he cannot give something out of his life. Can an empty bag give something out?

Man like Che Guevara whose bag of life is full with passion, struggle, education, dare and emotions he stands up in life without any shoulder or support. He stands not just for himself, but he stands also for others. He tries to give others their rights and like a true man, he never lets injustice and inequality take place. He leaves a fine character in history of mankind. He becomes like a fruitful tree which stands upright and gives fruit to everyone. Unquestionably, it happens when a tree bears and struggles in very hours of life.

Those men who have nothing in their lives, they ever need a support or shoulder to stand. They live on others food. Their lives are hand to mouth. They remain homeless and helpless on account of, they have nothing in the bag of life, which can stand upright. They crawl on earth and forget that they have wings to use or they know not skill of flying towards success. Those men are like a stick which cannot stand up without any support.

Alama IQbal says; “If there would be no compulsion in life every one would be god. “ So, compulsion is part of life. One whose bag of life is empty he should be optimistic and struggler and start to fill the bag of life while burning candles of nights. Undoubtedly, drop by drop an ocean becomes. So, one should launch and struggle with passion. An ant can kill an Elephant. So, Nothing is impossible for insurmountable. Indeed, that flower is the most beautiful which smiles in adversity.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Expressing oneself in an accurate and compressed way is known as brevity. Naturally, as fragrance is the essence of flower so brevity is the soul of wit. When a wise speaks; he speaks splendidly. His a few words possess pregnant meaning in them. Fool talks with verbosity and his barrage of words weigh little meaning. Indeed, the heart of wisdom is brevity.

Brevity is the art, which wise has. All the philosophers, scholars and wise people use a few words appositely which carry the vast meaning. Like Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, "Don't Grieve, whatever you loose comes in another form." How beautifully these words carry example about hope and life!

Bacon, the essayist, who is known as master of brevity wrote accurate words at exact place in his Essays and his Essays are read and studied globally. Because of beauty of brevity in bacon's Essays, he is eminent in the world of expressions.

People who make chains of phrases and if one talks about chalk to them, they talk about cheese. These people make bore the listener. One must use brevity in his expressions and indeed, Brevity is the symbol of wisdom.

Do check it and its brevity.

Where there is a will there is a way
The hidden idea that lies in the above proverb should be obvious to those whose way is full of hurdles and obstacles that in the midst of rainy days and troublesome days, there are gala days too.The difficulties and problems in one's path should not be the source of dejection,despair and lethargy.If this winter comes, spring cannot be far behing.If difficulties hinder one's way, one should know once for all that behind these there is a way waiting for one.One can easily reach one's targeted way on the condition that one has got an iron will.If one's determination,one's one's will and one's goals are constant not changeable then I think there is no-one who can ever dare to prevent one from reaching one's destination.

For instance: a person is willing to do CSS but he thinks that he cannot qualify it.It is a very difficult exam as it comprises 12 subjects .In short, he lacks courage and is double-minded and afraid of the difficulties that might raise their heads during his preparation.Consequently, he loses all his hopes and becomes hopeless and lethargic.This is what we call lack of strong determination.In place of being hopeless,he needs to think if he has his ambition ,way itself will automatically knock at his door.

All those people whose names are shiningly prominent in the history, did not retreat from their targeted destination and they did not lose their hopes and desires to achieve their certain goal just because of so-called ups and downs.They were well aware of the fact that ups and downs are a part of human life.They can not be neglected because they are like a shadow chasing us.Likewise, we should not be scared of problems. However hard, tortuous and difficult they may be,we should show them that we are strong and persistent.And at all events,we have to achieve what is before our eyes and what we have targeted or desired.

God helps those who help themselves

God only helps those people who work hard and make an honest effort and helps those who try their level best to achieve anything.Everything is possible in the world if one try to get it with great determination and true struggle, not depend only on day dreaming, also believe in hard work .By hard working one can convert his day dreaming, plans into reality.

After the war of independences 1857,the condition of Muslims become so worst that they unable to do anything for themselves, for their religion Islam, At that time great people like Sir syed Ahmeb khan and Allama Muhammad Iqbal gave new direction to muslim through which they could change their lifestyle. The message of these leaders was “Khodi” and constant struggle for Muslim’s rights and it was only possible through education. Result of their efforts lead them towards the division of Subcontinent and finally Muslims succeeded to get their homeland Pakistan.

Everything is possible through hard work and constant effort and if the determination is true God also help the man in getting success and converting dreams into reality .

A handsome is that handsome does

By the above proverb we mean that outer beauty of a person is of no use and is worthless if she/he is innerly ugly.His actions reveal his handsomeness.However outerly beautiful he may be, he is vain if his inner is pregnant with ugliness.By his outer beauty,he can deceive people and can put a favourable impression on them but it does not last long;it is only short-lived. Ugliness that lies within him, definitely comes before people one day in future.As appearances are deceptive,he can take in us by his handsomeness of face.We can be impressed with his beauty and even sometimes, we get envious of his handsomeness too but this is because we are not aware of the fact that beauty is only skin deep.Beauty of a character has much more importance than the beauty of a face.As Ninon said," That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful."

People generally dislike talking to a person who is outwardly ugly, even they do not want him to sit beside them.For instance:A child is drowning into water in the presence of two persons namely a person with with inner beauty and another person with outer beauty.The handsome person does not want to lose his life by jumping into water whereas the person with inner beauty does not shirk from it at all.He , on the spot, jumps into the water at the cost of his own life so as to save the life of the drowning child. It shows the people standing there that the ugly-faced person whom they did not like, has proved to be a diamond and the handsome person who ruled over their hearts by attracting them through his beauty, has emerged as worthless and valueless. According to Ruskin "Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.

We should learn from the line that all that glitters cannot be gold. We must not be taken in by the cunning looks of a person.And besides it, we should also give much importance,value and deep respect to those who have been blessed with the gift of the most precious thing of the world, i.e. inner beauty or handsome character.According to James Ellis " Better an ugly face than an ugly mind."
