Destiny will now reveal itself.He threw the coin into the air and all watched intently as it landed. Hey!it was heads. The soldiers were so overjoyed and filled with confidence that they vigorously attacked the enemies and were victorious.After the battle a Lieutenant a deputy remarked to the General " No one can change destiny".

                                                    THE CUP OF LIFE   By MANOMI 7A

A group of working adults got together to visit their university lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them, Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups -some proclaimed,some in plastic, some in glass, some plain - looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite. The lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the lecturers spoke, "If you noticed, all the nice looking,  pensive cups were taken up, leaving be the plain and cheap ones, while it is normal that you want only the best for yourselves ,that is the source of your problems and stress. What you wanted was only water not the cup, but you unconsciously went for the cups.Just like in life, if life is water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life,but the quality of life doesn't change. If we only concentrate on the cup we don't have time to enjoy the water in it.
