Leadership is Action not Position.

"If your action inspire others to dreams more, learn more, do more and become more then you are a leader"- John Quincy Adam.
It is said that a great leaders' courage to fulfill his vision come from passion not position. Leader's job is to inspire and motivate the nation, the leader innovates, focuses on people, inspires trust and does the right things. Leadership is process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective.
As you pay heed to the situation of Pakistan, you will see destruction, corruption, illiteracy, liberal and religious extremism, injustices, terrorism, target killings all most all the evils. Is it because we deserve this? No, we do not deserve to live in a "Pakistan" were such iniquity prevails. Pakistan has the whole kit that a country needs to be prosperous, we have the four seasons, Natural resources, youth power, intelligence but what we do not have is a Leader. A leader of action. A leader who can guide us by his actions not just position. No doubt we have leaders holding high positions and doing nothing for Pakistan. They have made a "Golden Pakistan" worthless. Isn't this the most influential  example of leadership in action and position? If leadership was about postion, pakistan would have been a super power by now as it has the potenial to be so but because of scantiness of precise leadership we are still struggling. 

Leaders are those who sweat for augmentation of the nation, and are aware of the predicaments and the needs of the country. A Leader is not born but created. A leader is willing to help the people selflessly he would not wait for a position or power to be in action.
"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent"- Douglas MacArthur.

Status Of Women In Islam

Islam is the religion of peace and it has taught all the humans to live peacefully and happily.Islam give appropriate price to men and women of the world.
         Human play an important role in any society.An Islamic society provides shelter and safety to women.Men and Women have very different roles in an Islamic society.These rules and responsibilities are naturally different for both the genders.


         Before Islam,women had no value in society at all.The people of Arabs were so ignorant that they even buried their newly born daughters.The birth of the daughter was regarded as the curse amongst them but Islam corrected their vision about women.Our Holy Prophet P.B.U.H taught them to be kind and respectful to women.He respected his daughter Hazrat Fatima R.A so much that he stood in her honour and  behaved very affectionately with her.He also taught us that " Heaven lies under the feet of mother" which means that we should obey and respect our mother to much.
        In Pre-Islamic society,women did not have any legal rights but Islam gave equal rights to women and being a mother,a women is far superior to man in Islam.Islam has also given the right of inheritance to women.The Holy Quran also states that women are to be given the same religious and legal status as men.
        In short we can say that women in Islam have a very unique and respectable place.Islam has placed women at the best place in society and has shown them how they have to lead their lives peacefully in an Islamic society.

Some ways to live a better life
Following are some ways to live a better life:

This is not a habit, this is a life style. Does exercise early in the morning and also waking up early means keeping your eye open to every available opportunity
·       Complete sleep at night

·       Eat balanced diet
Include all nutrients in your diet i.e. fats, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Avoid spicy food, fast food and over eating because it is dangerous for health

It is essential (important) to do exercise early in the morning about 40 minutes and also at evening about 40 minutes
·       Make good friends
Good friends encourage leading more healthy life styles and avoiding making greedy and selfish friends
·       Build self discipline
Don’t wait for other people to impose discipline on you. Create your own discipline. Self discipline is a facilitator for many things in your life. It’s hard to get but great to have
·       Accept your mistakes
We are humans. Human are not exact (correct) perfect. We humans make mistakes. So accept what you did wrong and try to do better next time.
·       Avoid fighting
Fighting is the big energy leak of your being. Trying to prove another person wrong is so against your humble nature. You are here to acknowledge life’s wonders, not to prove anybody’s wrong. They are not wrong, just have different opinions. And that’s part of life.
·       Find reasons to love your life
Life is never fair. But it’s pleasing. It’s unique, unrepeatable, one of a kind, beautiful, simple, challenging, sweet, hard…just take a step back and find reasons to love your life.
·       Clean up your house
Make a habit of cleaning and washing up your house with sprightly, joyful and happiness. What’s outside is a mirror of what’s inside. If your house is a mess, probably your internal life is disaster. Neat that stuff, it’s easy.
·       Manage your time
Value the time. Manage time according to your schedule assignment rather than unhealthy activities.
·       Make budge
Be energetic in your life and adjust it according to your resources.
·       Read a book per week
Reading is like good food for your brain, without it, it will go lazy, obese and unresponsive. But with the proper food it can become your best friend.
·       Smile
Smiling is a sign of honesty and power. Be calm. Everybody can cry over a disaster but only the most powerful can take bitterness with a smile. Exercise that power. And then try to go for 20 times a day
·       help others
When you help the needy persons, you will get too much mentally satisfaction. Be humble to others.
·       Be social
Mingle, interact, and go out. Get used to meet new people. Make this habit and you will soon get used to do new things too. The goal is not to be the best network in the world, but to be connected to as many energy sources as you can get.
·       Break an old bad habit
Breaking an old bad habit is difficult. But breaking an old bad habit will free an incredible amount of time into your life. Quit smoking or stop talking on the phone for hours. Whatever you break, it will change your life.
·       Live today
Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Go for what you can do today and leave yesterday behind for good. Don’t be afraid  of tomorrow. And tomorrow does not even exist yet, so why bother. All you have is today.
·       Enjoy
Enjoy and be active in life
·       Love
Love is the only glue that keeps your life running. Love to your parents, brothers, sisters, friends and country.
·       Be happy
Be happy and cheerful all the time and avoid from un-necessary stress.
·       Assertive behavior
It communicates your need, wants, feelings, beliefs and opinions to others in a direct and virtuous manner, but in a way that still shows respect for them.

Illitearcy Destroys The Nation




Illiteracy Destroys The Nation

In the current competitive world, no country can be developed and brought to its full potential without having an easily an accessible system of education that is of high quality and supports creativity and talented students. One of the critical objectives of higher education is to support the large pool of talented but financially disadvantaged students to reach their goals and become the next generation of leaders, scientists and professionals who can lead the country out of poverty into an economically sustainable nation.
Education is the key of success, without having the key we can’t open the lock of prosperity. The world is becoming a global network. It is very necessary to get education to remain attach with the world. It is a main duty of government to provide the acceptable facilities for education to every child as it is the most important need of time.
If there will no education, then the country can never be prosperous and the nation is always fighting for their problems.

Slipping into the comfort of Technology

I was sitting with my family in our lounge when i realized my father was sitting with his iPad checking his mail and was talking on the phone simultaneously, my brother was on the digital book reader, my mother was grilling sandwiches in the electric grill and my sister was loading dishes in the dish washer. I had a flash back of a younger version of me when mobile phones were big and bulky and were only use for calling people. To send an email we had the big computers with a fat CPU and monitor screen with dial up internet which took hours to connect and for listening to music we had the radio, CDS and cassette players and even for watching movies we had VCR's. DVD players came later on. i even remember my mother telling me that in her days people used to talk about sophisticated gadgets. my grandmother even predicted that there would be times when we will be able to talk to people living in far away countries, face to face.Science has made all of this possible. now a days we can't even think of living without our cell phones for even one day. We use a few appliances in our houses so commonly that we don't even realize how important they are... we straightened or curl our hairs within 10-15 minutes while my mother told me she once did it with the regular iron.


Coming back to reality i realized what a blessing all these new cool gadgets and appliances are but again they should be used for positive purposes and not for harming people. Gone are the days when communication was seldom and hurdle-some, life was hard and traveling was tiring and difficult. Everything was done manually... The world has evolved and is changing everyday bringing new, smarter gadgets and we are just slipping in to these new technologies without even realizing how much they have influenced our lives.
