Unity is Strenghth - Chitranshi Singh

Yes, the story connected with me because there is "Unity is strength.” When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. It has great value in all walks of life. When we are united then we can surmount any challenges and accomplish any goal. 

If we cooperate with each other, no one will be able to break us. But if we quarrel among ourselves, our enemies will take advantage of this and defeat us. 

This chapter, very beautifully, highlights the same fact likewise in this chapter, the leader of the quail told them to put their head through the net and told them to fly together with the net and go to the place which they liked.

The Reality Of Introverts - Divyanshu Singh

The Reality Of Introverts

There are many types of people in the world, based on how they are, how they behave to others, and how they can treat each other. But, I will be talking about two very opposite sorts of personalities; Introverts and extroverts, and I will mainly stick to introverts as almost no one really knows what they want.

Extroverts often perceive introverts as arrogant, intensive, lacking opinions, shy, and not interested in talking. But in reality, they aren't like that, They don't want to socialize cause they can't handle that kind of energy, they drain their energy a lot when they socialize, and they are characterized in a way that they focus more on internal feelings than external sources of stimulation, they may like to keep their feelings with themselves and not let their emotions come out normally, some introverts can be talkative when they like the person, and share same interests these are some of the characteristics that introverts have

There are some great things about them as well like, they are the most difficult to manipulate as they don't fear aloneness and they don't chase social validation, they can balance their emotions by various methods, they are very empathetic, they are often their most creative when left alone like take an example of J.K Rowling.

It isn't that they can't be talkative, can't socialize, and are shy, it is about how everyone feels, often people don't really listen to introverts as they think they can't talk much but what if they want to talk, another example is there like people share a lot about their life to introverts and they expect for a reply, but what if they are going through their own troubles in their life, and what if the introvert wants to share their emotion but people just talk about themselves as they think that they can manage their emotions.
