Unfortunately, we often miss a basic school lesson. Every big task consists of several small ones, done precisely and perfectly. As a nation, we acutely need to learn the art of breaking down our moonlit goals into small accomplishable tasks. It will reduce frustration, anxiety, depression in society, and embarrassment for the government machinery, too, as they don t have to defend their unkept promises.

Urdu Paragraph

ہر دور اپنے ساتھ بہت سے ایسے معاملات بھی لے کر آتا ہے جو کسی کی پسند کے نہیں ہوتے مگر انہیں قبول کرنا ہی پڑتا ہے بعض اوقات ایسا بھی ہوتا ہے کہ قدرت شاید ہمیں آزمانے کی خاطر ایسا بہت کچھ ہمارے سامنے رکھتی ہے جو ہمارے مطلب کا نہیں ہوتا بلکہ اس سے ہمارا کوئی تعلق ہی نہیں ہوتا مگر پھر بھی اسے زندگی کا حصہ بناتے ہوئے چلنا پڑتا ہے آج بھی ایسا ہی چل رہا ہے ہر صدی اپنے ساتھ ایسی تبدیلیاں لاتی رہی ہے جو گزشتہ صدیوں کے مقابلے میں بالکل نئی تھیں فطری علوم و فنون کی ترقی نے انسان کو ایسا بہت کچھ دیا ہے جسے علمی و معاشی عمل کا کچرا قرار دیا جا سکتا ہے قدرت ہمیں پھل دیتی ہے تو ساتھ ہی ساتھ اس بات کا پابند کرتی ہے کہ اس کے چھلکوں کو ڈھنگ سے ٹھکانے لگائیں اگر ایسا نہ کیا جائے تو ملک کی غلاظت بڑھتی ہے

Translation by Sir Syed Kazim Ali

Each era brings many issues that no one likes but has to accept. Sometimes, nature tests us by getting something in front of us that we really do not like or have nothing to do with us. Still, we have to make it a part of our lives. Similarly, each century has brought with it such changes that have no parallel compared to the previous centuries. The development of natural sciences and arts has given man a lot, which can be termed a waste of scientific and economic processes. For instance, nature gives us fruit and, at the same time, binds us to dispose of its peels properly. If not done correctly, the environment undoubtedly gets polluted.
