I was wondering what article I should write, and then I thought I would ask my mother for an idea. I came back from school and thought it was the right time to ask her this question. My mother told me that an article can be written on any topic that one can express his/her thoughts on. She showed me a leaf from a plant and said, “Someone may write an essay about a leaf whereas others may write a poem about its beauty.” Then she pointed towards some fruits and said, “For some these are just something to eat while for others it has various other advantages as well.” She even showed a caterpillar, which made me feel disgusted, but she explained to me how to appreciate the beauty of each and everything in our surroundings. By not giving importance to little things we lose the opportunity of evaluating its beauty. By realising its value we develop an attitude of appreciating our surroundings.

One can even write about the suggestions given by our elders and teachers for our betterment, we can add our own views analysing them. I would like to request all my friends to develop an interest for writing articles so that it adds to our confidence and makes us feel proud of ourselves.
