Time is the greatest asset in human life. Everything can be regained; money, fame, clothes, even status. But once it is lost, it never comes back, that is why it has been said: Time is gold; and even higher than gold. Time is a gift that God has given to every human being. No one can increase or decrease it, but everyone can use it better or worse. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is in the way they use time, not in its quantity. We all have 24 hours in a day, but some reach the peaks of science and art in those same 24 hours, and others only complain during the same period that "we don't have time. So let's appreciate this blessing of God, use it for growth, service, and faith.

Reading is the root of the growth of every society. No advanced country has reached anywhere without a culture of reading. Today, if we want Afghanistan to have a bright future, we must start with the youth. From reading a book, from a sentence, from a thought, we must know that a book is our silent but loyal friend. Reading is a light that breaks the darkness of ignorance. The culture of reading is a culture of thinking and progress. Every young person who reads actually lights a lamp in his home and city. Today, he may only read himself, but tomorrow his children will also become readers. This is the chain of light that illuminates the society. Let us remember that God has blessed knowledge. And whoever reads and learns, becomes closer to the will of God. Reading is not only learning science, but it is a way to know ourselves, others, and our Creator.

Experience has shown that all business, work, and capital begin with determination and small, small tasks. To start a business, we must be fearless and courageous and not give in to fear. If we look at the history of the world's great businesses and businesses, we will see that most of them began with a very small idea or task. A man who owns a large factory today may have only owned a small shop yesterday. A woman who manages hundreds of workers today may have started in the corner of her house with a sewing machine, knitting, or hand embroidery.

Most people in our country suffer from a lack of friendship and love in their relationships. They are plagued by mental stress, physical illness, and depression; we know many families who were healed of their wounds when they were given fatherly or brotherly love. They need not only prayer; they also need someone to embrace them warmly. The love of Christ on the cross and his substitutionary love teach us how to see and make up for the shortcomings of others in the midst of wounds. When we show love, God is pleased and acts, and tears of joy and those shortcomings are removed. God meets many of the needs of his children through other children, filling the void of one with another; this is the love of God's family. Wounds make us selfish, and in this way we turn a blind eye to the needs of others and do not see them. Warm, caressing hands are what our world needs today. God wants us to understand his love for people, children, and even animals instead of hatred. When we look at people with God's eyes, we will be able to understand their needs and support them.

We Christians and followers of Christ are God’s “gardeners”. We are simply instruments in God’s work, planting and watering the seed of the Word. But it is God who does the real work, causing the seed to grow and bear fruit. It is God Himself who causes His Word to be fruitful and adds believers to His church. It is God alone who changes hearts, and it is because of God that people come to faith in Jesus Christ. Our work and efforts are in vain without God’s strength and blessing.

Afghanistan is a country of high ethnic diversity, with the largest ethnic groups being the Pashtuns (about 42%), Tajiks (about 27%), Hazaras (about 9%), and Uzbeks (about 9%), who make up nearly 90% of the population, followed by other ethnic groups such as the Aimaq, Turkmen, Baloch, Nuristani, and Pashayi, each with its own unique language, culture, and history. Afghanistan has deep genetic and cultural ties to its neighbours, and its ethnic groups have Aryan, Turkic, Mongolian, and Arabic roots, while Dari and Pashto are the country's official and primary languages.

Jealousy is a complex and negative emotion in which a person feels inferior, inferior, and resentful because another person has a characteristic, achievement, wealth, or success that is greater than theirs, and may want to gain it or have it lost; this emotion is rooted in comparing oneself to others and can lead to anger, anxiety, and destructive behaviours, but in a healthy way it can be a motivator for progress and imitation of positive role models. Envy is a combination of disappointment in oneself and anger toward another, which is formed due to a feeling of failure and inability to reach the other person's position.

Having self-confidence means believing in yourself that you can do good things even if it is difficult or you think that you cannot. When a person tells himself, I can do this or that, it means that this person has self-confidence and this feeling makes him progress. A person who has self-confidence has a positive outlook on life and is realistic. To increase self-confidence, try to change your mind and focus on "I can" instead of "I can't". Try to associate with positive and self-confident people and take them as role models.

Skill training is one of the fundamental foundations of individual and social development. In the course of life, a person needs not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical abilities to be able to face daily problems and necessities. If we look at history, we see that a society that has progressed has also given importance to skill training in addition to knowledge education. In fact, knowledge that is not put into practise is incomplete and has little effect. Today, our world is changing at a rapid pace, technology is advancing every day. In such a situation, only those who, in addition to theoretical knowledge, have skills appropriate to the needs of the time can succeed. A young person who only has a university degree but cannot apply that knowledge in practise faces the problem of unemployment and failure.

Deciding to choose a job or career in life is one of the most crucial and fateful choices in every person's life. This choice not only determines how we and you will make a living, but also directly affects the quality of your relationships, mental health, and your level of satisfaction with life. A good job is not just a job that pays well today; it is a job that will be sustainable in the years to come and will make you happy.
