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:

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

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.

Constructive Power

Ideas make permanent impact on audience or people where as ideas have much longer impact than violence.But the question is how we interpret-ate our ideas to others?Ideas are propagated by the writing or the pen.
            In early ages,when men was illiterate and had no education men fought with each other on different issues and ideologies.People murdered each other.But by the time men realize that the use of weapon could not solve problems.Weapons could kill men but not bring about a change of heart.The dispute and issues can solve peacefully by negotiating with each other by the help of writing or by the help of pen.
                    The great Edward Lytton said," Pen is mighter than sword"
                                             What a great saying! Pen is considered as the sword,revolutionist,the weapon of war and the tool of peace.It's neither good nor bad.It's what you do that makes it punishment or the reward.The victory of Muslims over British was actually the victory of pen over sword.60 years ago a nation was groping into the darkness of ignorance awoke and united on one platform.Due to their struggle and sacrifices a new state has been emerged on the map of the world named by PAKISTAN.it was happened only by the power of pen.The stricken nation was only awoke by the revolutionary poetry and articles of Allama Iqbal and many other legends.Indeed it is a constructive power.
                                  According to recent survey more than 60% people believe that the pen is more powerful than the sword.Because a writer express his noble thinking and ideas in the form of words on the paper.The pen has stronger influence over masses.The victories of sword are short lived.The conquered of Hitler,Alexender,Tipu Sultan can be forgotten but the poetry of Iqbal and the writing of Shakespare will be remembered til the end of the world.

ELDERS V/S YOUNGERS

A human being is born with no ability.Each person depends entirely upon its parents,carers or any responsible personal that has been assigned the duty of nurturing of any child.Its plain and simple,when we are young and helpless,we have everything to learn from the elder generation,be it from our parents or our teachers.They lead the way for us.However,today's modern youth might not consider the option of using the guidance if their elders.Technology and its uses have advanced so much that the elder generation can only wonder how their words of wisdom might inspire the younger generation

If today's younger generation believes that their elders offer nothing to teach them,and than they should be well prepared to hear the same remark from their next generation.the truth is the elder generation have everything to teach the youngers, be it in any field.Their mistakes of the past are vital for the reformation of the future so that the next generation avoids such catastrophes

UNHRC and its unholy Evolution.

The United Nation's Human Right Commission/Council (UNHRC/HRC) was a replacement of the previously known assembly of the UN called Council of Human Rights (UNCHR/CHR). It was made an independent assembly where 47 different members would meet and discuss the rights of humans. It was designed for one purpose and one purpose only, "To protect and administer the Human Rights" according to the "Human Rights Declaration" signed in the 1960s.It was the duty of UNHRC to protect the rights of Humans and to make sure that no injustice is done to a being "across the globe". Racism, Sexism, religious and sectarian discrimination was to be abolished and a collateral system was to be made.
   Soon, the UNHRC was afflicted by the UN's P5. The Veto system came in the HRC and things started to change. The P5 now ruled the Human Rights. They Human Rights were now under their command and perspective. What was made an independent and a unified assembly was now just like every other general assembly "under the reign." UNHRC was based on the constitution that it would always serve the rights originally designed in the 60s and that it would help equality to prosper in the world. But then the tidal wave came and pretty much like every other thing, the constituency was amended and UNHRC was now just a so called "independent assembly" which now worked as a puppet of the P5 and the European Union of the United Nations. 

      Today we see a new phase of this assembly. The assembly made in the 60s is no longer. We still call it the committee of Human Rights but is this committee serving its original promise? Why is this Committee not working in states like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Myanmar? Why are all these places where ruthless killing and Violation of every single article of the human right declaration is being done over looked? Why is the Killing of Afghans in the name of "WMD" applauded but nothing is carried out against Palestine where these "weapons of Mass Destruction" are present and openly kept. Why the oppression of minorities in Myanmar and Syria is over looked? Why is the Sectarian Violence in Iran Ignored, why? Why are the merciless acts of USA in Iraq not condemned? But what is looked upon is the long going war which is a matter of USA's reputation between Palestine and Israel being scratched. Is Israel-Palestine violence the only problem present in the world, or is it the only threat to the reputation of the United States of America?
   UNHRC is no more an independent assembly but a puppet of the P5 working not for the world's benefit but the benefit of the P5. People are dying in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar and Syria. Borderline killings are being done. Produce of weapons from across the borders are being provided for a Civil war in Syria but UNHRC doesn't care. Where is the Human Right's Declaration now? Where is the assembly that under the original constituency swore to protect the human rights? Where are the signatures of the 47 men who witnessed the making of an independent assembly for the Human Rights? It is unfortunate to see that the universal assembly which once worked for the Rights is now not independent but a slave itself. An assembly which went out to end injustice and inequality is now the core of it. What the world needs is a system which is pure, which really means the well-being of our world. UNHRC was once the hero we deserved, but it's not the hero we need now. Today we know what UNHRC has transpired to be and it is now ours to decide that, is this assembly worthy of something as precious as our trust?

Metropolitan Hurdles

Workplace diversity is now recognized as an important feature in organization. Especially in multicultural nations like Australia. What communication problems might arise in a culturally diverse workplace and how can manager best deal with them?

In a multicultural nation, there will be many communication problems because of different people. As the people who are working in same place but they belong to different countries and having different languages, cultures and norms. The main problem is language problem. If the people don’t understand the language of other person, it makes difficulty for both the persons and because of this misunderstanding, the organization does not work properly and will be damaging day by day.

The problem can be managed through the excellent plans. In multicultural states, there should be a rule to speak same language at official level. The leaders of organization should appoint the person who has ability to speak that language at official level.
