On Mother’s Day

The best medicine in the world is a mother’s hug

By: M Ahmad

Every society is made up of blocks of family units. The stronger each block is, the stronger the structure of the society. Families are thus the building blocks upon which rest the fate of society. For the development of good families, the mother plays a vital role. Many women today have aspirations of progress in their careers, and degrees in various fields.

However, it is indisputable that the most important achievement of a mother is raising sensible, virtuous children who will then move on to build other strong blocks for society. It has been said that it is easy to bear children but it is difficult to raise them well. In that lies the challenge for all mothers. Motivation is a state of mind that enables us to successfully complete any project or task. It is a form of a natural environment that aids our physical and social growth.

We know that we can attain any goal, even in the most difficult circumstances, because of inspiration coming from a person –the mother. Every person must have some sense of creativity in his life from which he can draw inspiration in order to attain his life objectives and progress.

A teacher may be an inspiration in someone’s life, a successful person can be an inspiration in someone else’s, but in my life, my mother is my biggest motivation. She is the individual who has motivated me to attain my life’s objectives and to keep moving forward.

A mother has several characteristics that make her the embodiment of love and dedication. She is forgiving and understands us when we make mistakes. She takes severe measures to fix our mistakes and ensures that we are aware of our responsibilities. From sunrise to night, day in and day out, a mother works tirelessly to fulfil all of our dreams. A mother’s love is unmatched.

Whether young or old, healthy or handicapped, troublesome or obedient, the child is still beloved to the mother. This love may be displayed in various forms. Sometimes children misinterpret scolding’s and rebukes to be a sign of lack of love. It is important to assure the child that he is always loved, even when his behaviour warrants disciplinary measures. Such a child becomes confident and happy, and will never seek solace elsewhere.

The love of the mother becomes a source of happiness and peace at home. Children feel attached to the home because of the mother. A mother gives up a great deal for the sake of the child. She gives up her time, her sleep, her pleasures etc. to ensure that the child is all right. When a baby is born, he is totally unaware of the outside world. The mother plays an important part in introducing him to the world.

The outlook that the child will form towards life depends a lot on the mother. His attitude, his views – religious or otherwise- his perspective on life and its goals, will all be gained from her. Eventually he will mature and perhaps form his own changed views, but the initial years and what he learns in them will always have a lasting impression on his mind.

A good mother places the needs of the child, both physical and emotional needs, first. This is an important point to keep in mind, especially in these modern times. Women today are deluded by society into making their own careers and jobs more important than their homes.

The home will always remain a woman’s most valuable work and that may require all types of sacrifices. It is not really a sacrifice, but is an investment which will reap great dividends. A mother is someone who consoles you in your time of need, makes sacrifices, and makes every attempt to provide a comfortable life for her child. A mother is a selfless individual who, like the sun, chases away all darkness and shines the light of happiness and love onto her family.

Mothers are a constant source of inspiration and motivation for children to become good individuals as they grow older. They instil in them a sense of responsibility, care and affection for others, and a sense of resilience that can hardly be found anywhere else. My mother is also an admiration to me because, while most individuals work to gain popularity and a name in society, a mother never feels that. All she wants for her children is for them to achieve in life. She is not motivated by self-interest in her work. This is why I regard my mother to be a human manifestation of Allah.

As we grow up, we learn from our mothers. They are the ones who nurture us and teach us the things we need to know in order to grow up to be successful adults. A mother is someone who is always there for you when you need her the most. She is the one who loves you unconditionally and would do anything for you. A mother is someone who is strong when you need her to be and soft when you need her to be. She is someone who you can always count on.

A mother is someone who is always there for you no matter what. She will always be there to support you and guide you through life. A mother is someone who is always there for you when you need her the most. Writing an essay on mother is not an easy task, as no words will ever describe her. There is no secret that a mother symbolizes characteristics like patience, kindness, forgiveness, sincerity, and a particular unconditional type of love that is parallel to no other. She is an essence of truthfulness, love, and sincerity. Another reason is that she showers her family with her blessing and live.

Furthermore, she gives us everything but never demand anything in return. The way she cares for everyone in the family inspires me to the same in my future. Also, her love is not just for the family she treats every stranger and animals the same way she did to me. Due to, this she is very kind and sensible towards the environment and animals.

Although she is not physically very strong, she faces every hurdle of her life and of the family too. She motivates us to be like her and never submit in difficult times. Above all, my mother encourages us to improve my all-round skills and studies. She motivates me to try again and again till I get success in it.

Whenever we are in trouble we run towards my mother as she is the only one that can save me from them. Whether a small homework problem or a bigger problem she was always there for me. When we are afraid of the dark she would become our light and guide us in that darkness. Also, if we can’t sleep at night, she would hold our head on her lap until we fell asleep.

Above all, mother never leaves us aside even in the hardest of times and is special.Sheis the superwoman who does all the housework, teaches us and takes care of us besidescaringfor her husband, do her job and at the end of the day if you ask for her help she says ‘yes’ with a smile on her face.

Mother represents forgiveness, unselfish love, kindness, courage, bravery, and patience. No one in this world is capable of replacing a mother’s selfless devotion for the family. The mother figure, in my perspective, plays the most important and vital part in a child’s life and development, because she is one of the most excellent role models for her child.
