1.A Friend in need is a friend Indeed

A friend who helps his friends in times of difficulties is in facts a true friend .we must be very careful in making friends. A true friend never cheats his friend in the time of difficulty but a selfish friend deserts him as soon as he becomes poor and   falls on evils days. A true friend  gives not only good advice but sacrifices also all  that he has  for  us  in this way a very real  friend is the  most valuable possession of a man , so it is  rightly said that  a friend in need is a friend indeed.                                                                  2. All that Glitter is not Gold

 It is a famous saying of Shakespeare. It tells us that things are not generally what they seems to be. A polished piece of brass looks like gold but actually it is not gold. So is the case with men in life we meet many men who pretend to be noble and honest. they in  fact are the  scroundels of  first order. Many selfish persons struck to us for their own selfish interests to be our friends. We should always be beware of such rogues and villains. The same is true of things and articles. They may look beautiful but they may not be useful .we should be careful in responsing whether men and things are actually what they seems to be .

In India it has played a very important role in the middle of 19th and in the 20th century to unite Indians for achieving the goal of freedom .in india, English is a second language. It is also a link language. It is a language which has become necessary for official, social, commercial and educational activities in the country because india is a multilingual country. Hindi the national language is also important for our country. Now language is more widely studied or used as a foreign language than English. It is an   international language for all purposes. It is also a language used in science and technology. it is one of the  leading language of the united nations. India is a developing country and it needs international relationship.

4.work is worship

Work means duty allotted to a person in his life . he should take real interest In his work. No work is low or mean, if it is done for the good of the society and does not harm anybody interest. Work is done for getting money or wages. Money is indispensable in man’s life. Life becomes interesting and worth living if a man has means to live on. These means are got in exchange of money and money is earned by doing work mental or physical. Desire to acquire means or money without doing work is not and cannot be acknowledge by the society and does not place a man in a respectable position .hence work is  a thing which should be kept clean and pious and free from any blemish it is to be treated like worship of a God by a man when he frees his mind from all vices and ill will work first   money second is the right and just approach to life . people living life in this manner are supposed to be a good men.

5.HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY
