Essay What is the most important technological discovery in the history of man?

In my opinion “Most Important Technological Discovery” in the history of mankind is the “Wheel”.
Today we cannot imagine our lives without wheels. We cannot afford stagnations. We all have to move fast from one place to another. Similarly our material has also to be transported speedily from one place to other. And all this is impossible without wheels.
Wheel is one of the most ancient discoveries for mankind. The first ever wheel was discovered around 3,000 years ago. The exact year of invention of a wheel is yet not known. The potters and weavers in ancient times are believed to be the first users of wheels. In addition horse carts, camel carts, bullock and carts are still used for transportation of men and material in the rural and countryside villages.
Gradually wheels underwent magical development and now wheels are used ranging from baby cars as well as giant ships, aircrafts and last but not least in automobiles. Wheels have brought into a massive revolution in the small, medium, big and even giant industries.
Because of wheels only, there has been development in the field of industrialization. Numerous manufacturing factories and companies are an outcome of wheels. It is because of wheels that we are able to move fast and cover many thousand miles distance in short time. We travel on roads, rails, water and air.
Apart from surface travel, man has been able to reach to the Moon and Mars by way of space craft propulsion which is highly commendable.
In conclusion, in light of above facts the discovery of wheel is the most important technological discovery in the history of mankind that deserves an extremely loud ovation.

Essay: - It is good for school and university students to take part in part-time jobs. Do you agree or disagree?


Essay: - It is good for school and university students to take part in part-time jobs. Do you agree or disagree?
---------------------------------------------------
In my opinion it is absolutely wrong for students to engage in part time jobs for paid work. In other words this is engaging “child labor” which is not only wrong it is illegal too.
School students need to study, play and enjoy. Further when they grow up, they go to college for higher study and make their careers bright into the field of their choice. While schooling if they are made to work for money it is engaging child-labor
.
Legal working age for any one is 18 years and above. At this age one is fully matured and understands his own good and bad. Also one knows difference between risky and safe and can take care of him or her and protect from dangers. Students below 18 are immature to understand the difference between tangible gains and intangible losses. Thereby in process of doing a part-time job they may lose the grip over studies and may fail to perform well.
By the age of 18 and when student is studying in college one may opt for a part-time job only in case of dire need of money for continuation of one’s studies. If a student gets a job within the campus or working from home on internet should be preferred.
We have studied a couple of rhymes during schooling that are most appropriate here to mention and those say that…. Work while you work, Play while you play, this is the way, to be happy each day, All that you do, do with your might, Things done by half, Are never done right..... And secondly One thing at a time, And that done well, Is a very good rule, as many can tell.
In a nut shell, it is better to study while you study and not to divert into part-time jobs for money sake. We must not forget that students are the future of our nation and we must protect them, educate them, and develop them to their optimum capacity.

Essay: - Social Networking Impact on Youth.


Essay: - Social Networking Impact on Youth.
Online social networking has gained magical popularity globally. Worldwide growth and popularity of media has attracted attention of researchers worldwide. With the time the society has welcomed this media. Teenagers and young adults are the biggest users of these sites. It has been observed that these sites are impacting the lives of the youth greatly. The impacts of using these sites have both positive and negative effects on the youth.
The positive aspect of social media is that it plays a vital role in teenagers’ lives. Most youths are spending good lot of time in these sites. The popular social media sites are Facebook, Twitter and Orkut etc. Social media helps the user updated with the current affairs around the world, help the teenagers stay connected and interact with each other even if they are several miles away. This strengthens their relationship even if they finished school and moved to different locations they stay connected and update one another.
Over and above, social media sites provide a platform whereby the youth can create groups and pages depending upon their common interest and discipline and they build connections and opportunities for their careers by updating various topics for discussion. Younger generation say that social media is a part of their life and it makes the life easier and efficient.
One of the negative effects of social networking is the poor spelling and grammar among language learners. While social network sites bring people together and stay connected, conversely it creates social isolation too. Secondly the youth lands into addiction and tend to spend many hours on these sites and they hardly have face-to-face interaction. According scientists’ social isolation can lead to a host of emotional, psychological, physical and mental problems which include anxiety, depression and somatic complaints among many others.
Worst of all, visiting pornographic and adult content sites by younger generation has an adverse effect on their minds and mental health. Secondly vulgar chat has become an addiction among younger generation. This is a parasite that eats away entire precious time of students and they don’t study and thereby spoil their careers.
In conclusion, the usefulness of media is much more as compared to a few of its ill effects. Hence social media can not be condemned. However in light of this, parents must exercise strict supervision and control on Internet surfing by youngsters to prevent them from visiting ugly sites or indulging into vulgar chat. Similar supervision & control can be exercised on TV watching too.

Essay: - People follow interests and have hobbies. Do you think it is pointless? How can people learn from hobbies?



Essay: - People follow interests and have hobbies (e.g. collecting and making things) Do you think it is pointless? How can people learn from hobbies?
-----------------------
Any hobby is an activity that is regularly done for pleasure. Hobbies are according to ones passion. Hobby is a creative activity. In this essay I will elaborate on hobbies of my wife Manju. She has hobbies of Painting, Cooking, Knitting and Gardening.
With the time Manju nicely developed her hobbies and started coaching classes in Drawing, Painting, Cooking and Knitting. She has students ranging from nursery goers to their grandparents. With her creativity and diversification she developed over 70 subjects in Drawing-Painting-Art-Craft and nearly 80 recipes in cookery.
Manju gave program on television for Indian Cuisine. Many foreign nationals and NRIs attend her classes for Indian Vegan Cooking. She gained good popularity and fame for the quality and taste of the food. Even professional hoteliers started pouring in for learning her unique recipes. Beside she executes orders for knitting and fabric painting. With hobbies she earns money too.
She is fond of gardening hence she has maintained a nice garden of flower plants in the front yard and a wonderful kitchen garden in the backyard. In the front yard in addition to flowers she has developed Aloe Vera and Tinospora (Giloy in Hindi) these species are frequently used in herbal medicine for the cure of numerous ailments. In kitchen garden we have a Mango tree as well as some fruits like guava, grapes, papaya, pomegranate and seasonal vegetables. We do have lemons and Ponderosa lemon too.
In nutshell I would say that Because of all these activities we never feel a vacuum of retirement, loneliness or boredom. “Having hobbies is not pointless. People can learn a lot from their hobbies develop and diversify and the hobby can be source for learning and earning too. Hobbies improve our physical and mental health.

Essay: - Write about the biggest risk you have taken


Essay: - Write about the biggest risk you have taken
-----------------------------------
Risks can be many in the life. It depends upon perception of the person as to which of those one considers to the biggest. However in this essay I shall narrate a story about a risk that I took and I consider it to be the biggest.
I am a retired Manager from oil and gas sector, cross country pipelines. I am an Electrical Engineer and worked all through my service career in operation and maintenance of cross country pipelines. I had no experience in the Insurance sector any way.
One fine day I received a letter from a renowned Life Insurance Company requesting me to meet them and work for them as an Insurance Adviser. Accordingly I met them and explained that I had no knowledge or experience in this field. Hence I have no confidence of delivering desired goods to them. Upon this I was offered free training for the Life Insurance Adviser after which I could appear in the online examination conducted by the Insurance Authority and start working on commission basis.
After giving some thought, I agreed and joined the company. I underwent training for Life Insurance Products and appeared at the examination. To my utter surprise I passed out with 80% marks. Shortly I received my Advisory License and started working. Within a short period I sold good lot of policies, earned good commission and developed many good contacts. As a token of appreciation of my good work company honored me with gold coins from time to time.
In conclusion, because of taking this big risk and working in this company I gained experience of Finance sector and acquired further qualifications as Adviser for Non Life Products and Mutual Funds too. The good old quote also confirms that “No Risk No Gain”.......
