An example:

Self-help is the best help


This is a very common saying in our society that upholds the importance of evaluation of
one’s deed. We live in the very complex world where every one has to struggle for life.

Life is nothing but the challenges coming one after another. Dangers and difficulties are
step by step to decelerate the motion of life. But if one is emancipated and charged with
enormous potentialities, overcoming challenges one could reach to one’s expected goal.
Sometimes, it seems to us that we are walking along a densely forest, many unknown
dangers on the way to barred the motion of us. Becoming iron-determined one can
overcome irregularities coming on the way.
Self-dependency makes one competent and skill and he comes out with outstanding
success showing his excellence in all sphere of life. On the other hand, dependency on
others makes one lack in competence, skill and potentiality. As a whole he lives in the
society as like as a parasite. He feels lack of confidence in him. As a result, he could not
take any decision to run his life rather he borrows suggestions from others. Primarily it
effects well but in the long run he could not find any one beside him to have assistance
time to time. But it is imperative for one to be dependent on him. Because it is permanent
and very much fundamental that develops one’s mind to face with the emergencies. Taking
decision faced with the practical problems one can be complete and enriched and even
knowledgeable that will help him to face the crucial situation of life.

In a word, the importance of self-help can’t be expressed in words. On the contrary,


dependency on others makes one lazy, incomplete and in-experienced that in furthermore
future he will lose confidence of doing any kind of silly work. That’s why it is rightly said
that “Self-help is the best help”.

Some useful tips to help you all in the process of


amplifying a saying:
1. Decide on the meaning of the saying, significance and implications of the same.
2. Write down the important points you should include in the paragraph and the order in
which they should be presented.
3. Think of examples or illustrations you have to include in your paragraph in order to
support the main points.
4. Then start writing-- use simple language and precise words. You do not have much
space. Usually the length SHOULDNOT exceeds fifteen sentences.
5. Avoid beginning paragraph with sentences such as: This statement means.... The
meaning of this saying is... This is well-known paragraph.... Etc
6. Revise what you have written correcting errors of spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.

Now study the following example:

---A stitch in time saves nine---


Main points to be noted:
1. Importance of doing one's work at the right time.
2. Time is precious.
3. If damage is not repaired in time, it may cause great loss.
4. A lesson for all of us.
When an article of clothing gets torn, if it is mended without delay, there will not
be further damage and loss. If the mending is postponed, the tear will become
larger and we may have to put more stitches to mend later, we may not be able to
mend it at all. The dress may become useless. What is true of a piece of cloth is
true of several situations in life. To illustrate the point; when we get symptoms of a
dreaded disease, we should go to a doctor immediately. If we delay consulting a
doctor, the disease may become acute and then either we have to spend too much
money, suffer acute pain or reconcile ourselves to an impending doom. Time waits
for no one. Therefore, our aim in life should be-- strike the iron while it is hot, or
''make hay while the sun shines''.

All That Glitters is not Gold

Gold is a bright metal and very valuable. But there are many worthess things
looking equally bright like gold. Nevertheless, they are not as valuable as gold.
Hence, the proverb teaches us that we should not judge things by their outward
appearance.

Similarly, a person may be well-dresses and may look like a gentleman, but he may
be a dangerous person. On the other hand, a food sweet to taste may be harmful to
health, Therefore, we should be careful against being misled by external
appearance.

Honesty is the Best Policy

Honesty is a good virtue. It is the true conduct of our words ,thoughts, and action.
It helps us to prosper in life. This is correct in every field of life. An honest person
is respected by all.

Honesty is always paying. Moreover, an honest public servant is rewarded by the


government. Honesty is bitter but its fruit is sweet. We should walk along the
honest path of life in every sphere of life.
