One of the most valuable lessons that I have learnt from life is to make the best of what I have. I believe this is one of the most important rules than can help one survive in a developing country like Pakistan.

To what extent is it accurate to claim that Australians are committed to a ‘fair go’ and that they belong to a classless society? Since Australia opened its doors to the rest of the world it has been widely regarded as a land of ‘golden opportunity’ well endowed in resources with a small population; it appeared to be an escape from the rigid aristocratic ruling of European nations (Furze‚ 2008: 349).
