Time

How we spend our time is how we live our life. If you think time management is an illusion than you are in denial. The only equality we have here is that we are all allocated 1,440 minutes each day. No matter who you might know, the fact is non of them will have a nanosecond more than you have in a day.

What we intend, decide to do is solely up to us. Some of us complaint, whine, wish... than there are others who go on to explore, create, fulfill the dreams... how are you using these minutes? something to ponder about!

wishing u better day than good!

Happy Independence Day!

What would your life be like in this country if you followed rules on the road, paid taxes and respected others? What if you charged your customers a just amount had price tags on all products and stopped ripping off a new customer? What if you didn’t have to fight each time with rickshaw driver for asking you 80 rupees for what you paid for 50 rupees yesterday? What if you stopped procrastinating, overcame your fears, and began taking care of your neighborhoods, stopped littering on the ground? Would your life be different? I bet it would!
What if you started taking responsibility for whatever happens to you? Certainly if you did take more responsibility, than there will be no government, no dictator, no system, and no other nation to blame.
To me it seems like we still have a chance in this country! We have a freedom of choice, we can exercise. A first step in any dramatic change is an obvious “dramatic personal change”. It has taken us 60+ years to be here today, and are you accepting to have that change you envision about Pakistan overnight? For those who think whole system is failed, than what are you doing to address it? Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has. We were a minority in India. Been there, we have done that!

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”—Charles Darwin. That is the law of universe, in order for us to survive as a nation; we will have to change at very local level. I, you and people out on street will have to change. No leader, No governments, No foreign policy will change anything for us, the sooner we realize the better off we will be.

The Minar-e-Pakistan still stands, but, even more important, the goals, the guts, hard work and determination of the Pakistani people remain untouched. I, for one, have decided to get back to work; not just to a job, but to the work that I love, the kind of work that we all aspire to do. I just got up in the morning, and it felt terrific to reclaim my freedom to decide, to choose. I have all I need in this country, I have a heart, I have brain to decide what is good and what is bad, I have the willingness, determination and a burning desire. I'm going to invent things, start things, teach, and improve my Pakistan.

Why not start today living the way we want to see your nation? A year from now, we may wish we had started today. As long as we believe in the dream that is Pakistan, we win. Faith will be rewarded. You and people like me will have to insert the key ingredient PASSION.

Happy Independence Day! Pakistan Zindabaad!

Reap what you propagate

When you treat a person the way they are, the will stay the way they are

When you treat a person the way you want them to be, they might become what they should be...

Continuing the thought from previous post, there is no alternate to get someone to do what you like them to do. You must treat them right, if you want them to treat you right. Ironically you control the outcome to any relationship. It is up to you to change the outcome if you are not getting what you are looking for out of any endeavor. Please see KFC to get further insight on that. You are quite powerful. Some people might argue that people are stubborn, difficult to change etc. But what are the chances you will ever get them to do what you like them to do any other way?

have a great weekend u all!
