Life is another name for experiences. There are ups and downs in the life of every human being, from whom we learn something, some stumble and move on, we regret when we face a problem, but the solution is not understood. Happiness, laughter, happiness, these are all colors of life, with which a lot is gained when played. It has been observed that today's youth is becoming frustrated with life. He experiences one experience after another, and when he encounters successive failures, he becomes frustrated. But life experiences teach a lot. We have started a series for you, entitled "Skilled Youth", if you are an educated skilled youth, write about yourself and send it to us, along with a passport size photo and a job photo. Don't forget to send. Also, another series called "My Life Experience" has started, in which you can tell us your bittersweet experiences. It is very possible that other young people will learn something from your experience or experience.
