ISSUE NO 5: THE SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL LIFE FROM A TO Z

THE SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL LIFE FROM A TO Z

A a victory at all costs is not a victory  
B be honest for your future
C change is possible, not easy
D do things in order
E education is the only way to construct yourself
F failure is not trying
G general interests create a team
H hope springs internal
I implement your own policy
J joking is not belittling
K keep up with fashion but do not be overdressed 
L lawbreaker cannot be lawmaker
M maintain your confidence
N negotiate to achieve your targets
O operate your work according to fixed rules
P partnership is constructive 
Q quell your anxiety
R remember who you are and where you are
S success is formula, not fantasy
T time heals all wounds
U uniform reveals our identity
V violence can not solve a problem
W winners are made, not born
Y you will get what you are afraid of
Z love affairs add a little ZEST to your life

ISSUE NO 5: SEE YOU LATER, TRANSLATOR

SEE YOU LATER TRANSLATOR
 (The Department of Translation addresses its graduating students)

The first day my door you enter
Stumbling like the clouds of winter
Unsure of now and later
Wondering if this is the right shelter
Then submitted to the will of the Creator
Knowing that he granted you the better
Days passed and so many after
Then my love for you grew bigger and bigger
Watching you getting older and older
Now you will go and leave me in wonder
For every advice from a professor or teacher
Feeling that today you are the decision maker
After every smile, tear echoed in my corners and laughter
Not sharing this with you will make me suffer
For your breaths, sighs and looks will be my hunger
And my eyes on the door will linger
Hoping one day we see each other
So for now I won’t say goodbye
Because you will come back like a yearning lover
Sooner or later
But, see you later my translator .. See you later.
