Concentrate on the same thing for a long time

Focus, focus, focus... I remember a childhood story from my fourth-grade religion study book. A boy named Bopedev was very adamant and indifferent to studies. His parents couldn’t tame the unruly boy anyway. They sent Bopedev to a saint to teach him some lessons. Unfortunately, the saint couldn’t educate Bopedev as well.

Caring Nature…

Future generation won't fail us Every day I walk along the alleys of my hometown, I wonder how this city will look like five years down the line. What about ten, fifteen, or twenty? Will this city keep burning fossil fuel for that long? Or shall we switch to renewable energies to ensure a more efficient ecological infrastructure? I ponder, but the mindset of my countrymen upsets me. It seems like nobody cares an iota about global warming. I hardly find anybody mulling over environmental change. An ignorant nation will be taken into nature’s custody when a deadly blow like submerging coastal areas will bring the people into reality. Till then, who cares? However, I do. Perhaps, several others do, but we constitute a tiny proportion of the total population. Despite the adversity, it’s wiser to coagulate our sparse community and leave no stone unturned to stop environmental pollution. We are losing our biodiversity There are numerous ways in which the world is getting polluted. So
