     Speaking about religion in a so-called 'religious society' is no easy task. Therefore, one has to be prepared for some ready-made labels such as hypocrite, unbeliever, pagan, racist or even worse. Listening to a foreign radio station specialized in general knowledge and music, I found out that religion is also considered to be an indispensable part of the whole picture. Hence, one will come to listen to religious talks some of the time, if not most of the time. So, why is it all about relig

Honestly, I could rant and rave regarding the problems of our global issues. As a somewhat educated person, who's occasionally traveled and seen different cultures, watched the evening news, and experienced a bit of what life has to offer, standing on a soap box and picking just one subject would be too easy. My opinion through all of those collective experiences and memories is deeply mine and not something to be shared in a blog posting for English Club.

To me, The World's Biggest Problem lies

After talking about it for some times, finally, Grape sent me a message. She told me that she had booked her flight ticket and going to come to visit me. I was surprised, because I never thought that it's going to happen soon. Though like I said, we had been talking about it, but planning and realising it were two different matters altogether.

However, she told me that it's going to be a crazy trip because it's just going to be a day trip. I was delighted to meet her but at the same time a bit af

What is the main difference between humans and animals? My opinion is humans have good manners and animals don't have it. Politeness is a very important part of one's behavior. A person's manners give us an idea of his education, family background and his cultures.

It's not only important to show manners in our real lives, but also in virtual lives. Some people tend to forget their manners while chatting. They forget that they are chatting with real people. They ask questions directly about age,

Talking about getting married may bring you many thoughts. We are not talking about the preparation of yourselves to be ready to live with your partner but the conditions for marriage in different generations.

In some cultures, marry a virgin is one of the most necessary conditions that leads to so many problems in the life of the bride and bridegroom. As the men’s mindset was set with a traditional thought that the girl who has lost her virgin is a bad girl and not worth for getting married. Tha

As it was the day before long weekend most of the seats in the office were empty. She was browsing in the internet and her coworkers told her it was raining hard outside. She gave way near the blinds and pulled it up to view the rain. The drops were big and were lashing against the window. She stood there with a heavy heart for a long time. Tears welled up in her eyes... it was raining the day she lost everything in her life. She was an affectionate child to her parents. She loved her daddy more

Hey,

EC blog readers!

Be thankful to God as He blessed us with loving teachers and a mother.

      A teacher is someone we are nothing without.We all have or had so many teachers in our lives,but there are only few teachers who mean the world to us.A teacher is a role model for a student.A teacher can make a student prosper.Its a big responsibility for a teacher to convey healthy and pure information to a student.Like a mother love teacher's love and care is also unconditional.A teacher want to see

His only testament was this:

« Please write on my tomb: He liked the life But didn't know it He was kind But didn't treat kindly He liked nature But didn't enjoy it There was a motion in his heart's lake But no one could come in He felt lovely in his life But never fell in love And finally write: He liked existing for life Not life for existing »

 Would you believe me if I say once I wanted to die! Hey, It's my own personal experience which I want to share with you. It's true, I myself went through this devastating situation.

In our country, specifically, in our young age, we faced lots of pressure to get chance in our desire subject at university level. Don't know why  everybody was so serious!

Everybody wants success. We are advised , work hard to get success. When we are working towards  success, we will doubt about the success. Shall we get the success or not? it will increase our blood pressure, worry, tension. Then how can we achieve?

Once , I read old philosophical Greek theories about The origin of the world and how it had been created .One of those philosophers claimed that the world came from fire and another one claimed that numbers was the origin of the world ..etc.

The astonishing theory was said by philosopher Heraclitus 500 BC .He believed that world came from contradictions. He said “war is general for everybody and conflict is justice and all things are formed and vanished as a result of conflict “ He said too” The

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and
scratched lines on the side of the car.In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.When the child saw his father with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of that car he looked at the
scratches; the child had
