Nature is the art of God which leaves us spellbound and enthralled by its beauty. Nature is the best gift mankind has ever received. The sun peeking through sturdy mountains can mesmerize anyone. The cosy shade of trees and the pleasing scent of flowers fill our hearts with happiness. The trickling of drops of rain and a huge waterfall rushing nearby is enough to captivate someone.

Failure should never discourage you, but make you learn a lesson which lasts lifelong. Success and failure go hand in hand. We have always been told that success or failure does not decide the character of a person; it is the hardwork which they put in to achieve their target.  To achieve your ambition; the most important virtues are hardwork, perseverance, determination and calmness. The harder you work, more are the chances of succeeding. On account of my personal experience, my father has always told me; even if you fail after giving your best and working hard, then it is not a very big concern. Unless, you do not work to the fullest and fail, it is then a matter of issue. Hence, failure must never demotivate you until you work hard and trust yourself. Continuous success results in a rise of pride among many. People look down upon their colleagues and consider them as inferior. They develop a very high self-esteem of themselves and get conceited. They stop working ha...

Competition should not stress us out, but make us aware of our capabilities and scope of improvement. Healthy competition plays a very important role in everyone’s life. It helps people to come out from the self-bubble. People start realizing their abilities in a particular field and the amount of time they should devout for it.

In this due course of time, during the lockdown, all of us have had various experiences; some that have proved to be of great value and some that did not go well. All of us are trying to keep our house tidy using variety of mops which may or may not be useful but will surely be an experience.
