over 6 Part 3: Translation Translate the following passage into Urdu. When it comes to solving a problem or making tough decisions, don’t stay awake for hours worrying about it, go to bed, get a good night’s sleep and then the answer to your problem often proves to be much more simple than you thought. A recent report suggests that when your mind is at rest, making complicated decisions like choosing school subjects is usually much easier. This is because people can only focus on a limited amount of information at one time. The experts say that we should spend time thinking about simple choices like what to have for lunch or what shoes to buy. This may seem strange but it is a very effective way of thinking. The first and most important step is to gather all the information you need and then you can make a good decision. The best method is to get a good night’s sleep or concentrate on something else. Then your brain can more easily solve the big problem.
