Pakistan; Its your turn now

You can find good and bad in every nation. It depends on which side you portray the most. Pakistan is a country went through so much of the socio-political instability over the years. But still it fought back really well and stool tall even in the harshest times. Most of the time we put our energy into talking about its failures and issues only. Ignoring the fact that the resilience of this nation is worth appreciating as well. The critiques do not understand the real need of the hour; which is positive criticism.

Even though the people of Pakistan have gone through some of the hardest times, still they are one of the hospitable people. They only need a healthy environment to progress. Take an example of people migrated abroad earlier; they have become one of the leading businessmen or women of their fields. Medical doctors, engineers, social scientists, artists and sports persons; in every field the people of Pakistan have become global stars. Talking about the history, this country was to become a regional leader. This all tells us about how much this soil holds the capability of transforming its weaknesses into strengths.

Spotting a light on the geographical diversity of this country; we observe half of the world's tallest mountains to, fertile plains, rivers, deserts, long coastal areas and small islands all to be found here. All these could attract billions and billions of worth tourism annually as it is still left unexplored. This soil is enriched in its thousands of years old history. Peshawar being one of the oldest living cities in the world with so much of historical sites (about 2500 years old). Civilizations like Moenjo Daro and Harappa were one of the modernized civilizations of their time. Even the origin of religions like Buddhism and Sikhism have been in Pakistan. This country is of great importance. Talking about the resourcefulness here, most of which is still unutilized has a great potential to become a source of ignition to the development of this country.

The definition of development varies with the eye looking at it. For me, it is more of a humane kind of a thing. So all these plus points I could say have the potential to uplift the intellectual capacity of the people; which ultimately is development.

One thing I missed is the literature. History and even the present tells us the fertility of this country in terms of literature production. Greatest poets and authors have born, lived and served this nation throughout the history. It is we forgetting how important it is for us to produce knowledge. People with even little know how of the past could tell the focus of our leaders was majorly on knowledge production and preservation. It is unfortunate that we missed out on this topic as I did to talk on it in this writing.

On the ending note; we (students) are of those few people securing to get into the university level, we come here with great responsibilities on our shoulders. Responsibilities not of us as individuals, not of our families, friends, or community either. Responsibilities of the majority who could not get to this educational level, who do not have a platform. We are the present and present makes the future.

Pakistan; A hard country never ready to fall.

Thank You!

Priorities of students in Pakistan

Priorities of students in Pakistan: why good grades and job only? Why not the skills and creativity? Introduction: Everyone in this world have a motive to earn money to feed their stomach. In search of money, man doesn't focuses on skill development. Only degree and some experience can secure your future by giving you a healthy job. So why to work on skill development? This is the main reason why most of the students and even their parents consider healthy grades more important. " Demand side should demand for the quality more than the quantity ."  (Usama Ihsan) This means that the organizations should give priority to the quality of education and skills not only the grades. " Demand influence the supply side directly and indirectly ."  (Usama Ihsan) The requirements for the job will set the quality of education, creative thinking and skill development as a priority for the students and their parents. More than that the teaching institutions like sc
