Have A Proper Place For Everything, And It Is Good To Keep Everything In Its Proper Place

 

Define

Although this topic looks irrelevant, but just stop for a minute and think. At night you are at home and suddenly you get a power failure, electricity is off. No light. You need to light a candle. Where is the candle? Ok, somehow I managed to find out the candle. But what I need is a match to light it. Phoo! I can’t find them. Oh! the other person says I know exactly where the candle and the match are placed. He goes there in total darkness grabs both things and lights them. This brings some light to your mind also Have a proper place for everything and place everything in its proper place.

Explain

Keeping everything in its place is very important. First, define areas for the things where should those be kept. A knife has a place in the kitchen. Scissor in the bathroom. Screwdriver in the garage. But you cannot put shoes in the drawing-room or that you are supposed to keep your valuable items like passport or bank documents on the living room table drawer. First, you have to gather a list of the most important and daily use items, yes one more most important medical emergency kit. Sometimes you do not use them every day but you know which thing is placed at which place so just in the most extreme need of that thing you know exactly where it is. 

Benefits

This is not only true for home but for every area of life. Doctor, engineer, banker, lawyer, teacher, shopkeeper, and many more. Not only this but your computer is also covered in it. Filemanager! Yes, keep your personal and job files in proper folders. House keys and car keys are normally placed on some key hooks which must be handy. I might have missed many but I have given a rule for a beautiful life. Try to teach yourself and your young ones to abide by this rule of thumb in life. I learned this from my father and my grandfather. So keeping their name alive and up in my sweet memories forever. Knowledge is always to share. It won’t lessen your creditability. Sometimes if something is kept for a long time, one misses where was it or whether it was there when required. Your past academic records or your participation certificates should also be kept in such a manner that in your free time you want to look at those documents which might take you back in your life. Likewise, you might have a collection of photographs. Keep them also in a proper place. Nowadays youngster does not know the importance of those photographs as now it is the time of the digital era. Therefore digital pictures should also be maintained properly. In nutshell, this script “Have a proper place for everything and place everything in its proper place” organizes you and makes you keep track of everything. You will never get lost in your life. It’s good for you.

Study – Iqra – Read To Seek Knowledge

 

Iqra

Study – Iqra – Read! To Seek Knowledge, Educate Yourself, Be Educated, this was the first verse revealed on our Holy Prophet May Peace Be Upon Him. That was the start of civilization. When you read you get knowledge. From knowledge, you can create things to serve mankind. Application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge, as by reading or investigation. A good study can increase your confidence. It reduces the level of anxiety. When you are a learned person you get the ability to share your knowledge with others. And sharing your knowledge with others will never decrease your knowledge rather it increases your knowledge. You can also learn to speak with a person with his level of understanding. By studying you actually observe things, analyze them in your brain, try to understand what you have studied, and then you are ready to share it with others.

Never Stop Learning

Although you never stop learning and studying. The best age is when a child starts going to school. Things which a child studies in the school at a small age fixes in his mind forever. You are at your best to express yourself in a better manner. The more you study the more knowledgeable you become. The best book to study and read is the Quran. It has covered everything in this universe which comes in our life. The more we study the Quran the more knowledge we gain.

Manual

We also learn many things by studying the manuals of items besides us. Manual of a computer how to use it. Manual of television, manual of maintenance of a car. There are millions of things you can study. One thing which I have learned in my life is the more I study the more knowledgeable I become. I feel proud that I know that thing. Still, now I feel that I am an illiterate person. It’s not that I am trying to say that I am a learned person but I mean that there are so many things one must learn.

Go To Class Well Prepared

In school or college if a student reads the material beforehand and goes to the class well prepared then he grasps the knowledge with better understanding. Sometimes we start getting annoyed that a person you are expressing yourself to is totally unaware of what you are trying to share, this is the point whether you tell them in an easy way or you simply leave them and look for some learned people to share what you have gained. The best thing is that you make a timetable for the day to spend and keep a few minutes to study something new. A newspaper is among them.

Studying Never Ends

Studying never ends. Then I read many quotes. To acquire knowledge one must study. Learn to discover and discover to learn. Learning builds character. But it does not mean to become arrogant and start fighting with those who are less educated. It is not meant to remain ignorant. Learning makes you a social person and you feel good when you interact with others to share knowledge. It’s not the end of the world. If you have wasted time, forget it and start reading now. Knowledge is not how deep the words are and how difficult the words are, but knowledge is how important and simple the words are.

Cleanliness

Best Cleanliness The Most Important Need Of The Day Forever

Reason Of Dirtiness

Every now and then we are reading and hearing and watching that especially in the rainy season Karachi is hit at the most rather than from bad to worst. Bad sewerage system. Now let us see how it has happened. My childhood was spent in Karachi. At that time it was a clean and beautiful city. Hill-park was a nice place to go to for entertainment and even Clifton and Karachi Zoo were good places to visit. People were having civic sense at that time. Our waste used to go into the dust bin. Secondly, at that time we had never ever heard of or seen plastic shopper bags. At that time there used to be paper bags. Paper, if thrown on the ground, dissolves in water and is gone by the water. Then the era of plastic came along with our arrogant ignorances. We became arrogant and did not bother about the civic sense. We knew that the sweeper there will clean those throw-away wastes as he was being paid for the job. One person threw garbage and then it was followed by others, and then it became our national duty. We started throwing the wrappers and other small things on the roads becoming totally ignorant about what it will be causing. Throwing wastes in the parks knowing that the sweeper will clean it. Unfortunately, we forget that when the wind took that plastic bag and covered the mouth of the drain and water could not pass through that blocked drain. Water was blocked and started piling up and making home to insects and germs and creating filth. It made the environment bad and smelly. Hygiene was getting from bad to worse and causing health issues. Sanitation started getting bad. I being influential, I felt humiliated rather than getting ashamed when someone told me not to spread waste. When the waste started piling up it became the habitat for germs. 

Follow The Good Rules

Due to the accumulation and standing of water, germs are growing in it and it is also starting to stink. It is also creating diseases.  Solution. We must behave, we must take small steps like putting the waste in the dust bin. If someone else has thrown something, request that person politely to pick that up or you should pick up that rubbish and put it in the dust bin. We know that when we are in Europe or in Dubai or the USA, we are not allowed to throw any rubbish on the roads or in public places. Cleanliness is the main theme of not only our religion but of every religion. 

Do Not Blame Government

Why we blame the government? It is written, do not spread litter. Why we ignore it? How come we become so many obedient and followers of the rules when we are in other countries. If we become good in other countries then why not in our own homeland. If I change myself my home will be nice and my country will be beautiful. In my opinion, a civics course should be introduced in our education system. Which must be taught from class one to the last class we attend whether it is matric or intermediate or bachelors or postgraduates or even Ph D. it must be taught just for five minutes a day but every day. As we say prayers five times a day we should be taught and learned these civic values. It is important and good. Think and act fast.
