We still remember you, Arfa!

Great people are born, once a century.

It is a famous saying that, not how long you live matters. How well you have lived, is the thing that matters. Did you do anything that can be recognized after your death? Is there any achievement , revising which your name comes in people’s mind? The true meaning of life is to have an aim, setting a proper map to achieve it, doing good things side by side. No matter how far is the destination, how big is the goal one should know that beginnings always seem difficult. Doing something big makes you forever in the world!
