...Two voices Kashmir can join Hands with Pakistan or It can choose To be independent Kashmir is one of the most disputed issue of the world since the partition of the Subcontinent. At the time of partition, Kashmir was under the control of Hindu Dogra and for this reason this area was considered as a princely state. According to partition act of law that all princely states would be given full opportunity to join any country or be independent. So it makes sense that Kashmir can still join hands with Pakistan or choose to be independent. Kashmir can join Pakistan, the reason why Kashmir should is that this would be beneficial for both the countries. First the advantages Kashmir would get are industrial revolution, freedom to follow any religion, and defense system. Kashmir has no industries at all so it would be beneficial to the people of Kashmir to get jobs and alleviate their poverty. Pakistan is an Islamic state but it has freedom to follow any culture, religion, or any ideology so it would enable Kashmiri people to practice any religion. Kashmir has no defense system so joining hands with Pakistan (Seventh Atomic Nation) can provide it defense. The advantages Pakistan would get when Kashmir is in its premises are rivers, Siachen Glacier, tourism, and agriculture. Rivers are the most important of all, Pakistan needs water to fertile its lands to escalate its agriculture and this would surge the building of dams. Siachen Glacial is Pakistani military based area but...

...Two Voices You can either find happiness in what work you do, or do the work that makes you happy. Ashley was the Director of Accounts at a big multinational firm. She was a hard working employee. It was a tiring and hectic job, which barely gave her time for herself let alone for her friends and family. She had gotten the job 6 months ago, after being promoted. She had worked really hard to secure the position. She had sacrificed on a portion of her pastimes and activities outside of the workplace. After 6 months of having her job, she had finally begun to manage her time a little better than earlier. She had realized that it would take her a good amount of time to get what she wanted in life; be content and happy while doing her job. Her new job made it hard for her to find happiness so soon. She knew that she could find happiness if she kept working at the firm but for that, she would have to manage her time better. At the start, after she got the job, she had to miss her best friend’s birthday party because her boss required her to stay back and go through some of the files and accounts of some very important clients. But last week, due to an improvement in her time management skills, she was able to attend her parents 40th wedding anniversary...

...They say that money guarantees happiness, but in my opinion the poor can be just as happy as rich people and be even more content with their lives. Money makes the world go round. As the most significant sign of wealth, it is no wonder many people have devoted themselves to the pursuit of money. It is commonly believed that money is the ultimate form of happiness and it is believed that people who are without wealth can never match the level of happiness of the wealthy. In simple words, they say that happiness is proportional to wealth. People generally quote the examples of big movie stars, celebrities and the elite and the amounts of wealth they amass. A large number of people follow and idolize these people due to the size of their wealth. Most people then aspire to be rich and famous in life too. Then they use examples of people living in third world countries to contrast the levels of happiness between them and the elite. People would almost certainly believe at face value that these celebrities, through their online blogs and social media, are experiencing genuine happiness although this is not always the case. People often argue that people who are bare bone poor are not happy. They say that such people have to constantly worry about their food and shelter and don’t have the resources or rather have anything to be happy about. Even in our own daily lives we see that the affluent individuals have means to fulfil their materialistic desires and it would certainly seem...

...Faizan Imran Class#3220 faizan_imran_914@hotmail.com FINAL DRAFT In this rapidly developing world, technology has infiltrated into every aspect of our lives. To aid in maintaining our lives on the fast track, everything from our homes to workplaces must be upgraded with latest technology. There is no doubt that the use of advanced technology has made our lives convenient. Even though technology may seem very beneficial, we can not ignore the drawbacks of this level of advancement. Throughout history, technology has helped human beings improve their standard of living. It has made us more advanced and showed us efficient ways to complete tasks. Modern technology has helped to increase production for businesses using cost effective methods. Not only do these sophisticated machines save money, they also save time. For instance, businesses that once used to employ hundreds of labourers, now use machines. This cost saving method allows owners to invest in other areas of their business, which benefits the economy as a whole. Many medical breakthroughs have been made due to advancements in technology. Numerous diseases which could not be cured several decades ago such as cancer are now curable. Sometimes surgeons maybe overworked, resulting in accidents which may prove to be fatal for patients. Using different machines would further reduce the risk of doctors making mistakes, which they rarely make. Furthermore, health applications can be downloaded on smartphones...

..."HONESTY MAY LEAD YOU TOWARDS SUCCESS, BUT SOMETIMES, DIPLOMACY IS ALSO NECESSARY TO FACE THE WORLD" Honesty is the best policy. We have always been taught this and also that to lie is a bad thing to do. There is a certain beauty in living life with honesty. While the benefits of and motivations for choosing honesty in life are many — including that truthfulness and honesty are integral to one’s sense of moral integrity — living a life of honesty ultimately means having little to regret. Living with honesty is less about persistently resorting to truth over deception, and is more about living your life in a way that is “honest” to who you are on the inside — your strengths, your gifts, and your passions, as well as your beliefs and morals. Being true to ourselves should undoubtedly help lead us to what most of us strive for in life —some form of fulfillment. For, if we stay true to ourselves and to our nature, we are all more likely to pursue something about which we are passionate; when our careers or life goals are driven by what we love, we are more likely to find that sense of fulfillment. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, when you stay true to yourself the choices and decisions you make every day are seldom ever regretted because your motivations for those choices and decisions were not influenced by ulterior motives or anyone other than yourself. And having so little to regret from living with honesty is something truly beautiful. Honesty is one of the most important...
