Although he has left the country in the hands of thugs and Dakeets like Zardari, Hypocrite Mian motorway Shareef, political scavenging vultures and hyenas, a judiciary that is on sale from day one, the liar lawyers and heavily financed journalists but there is nothing that we can do. This nation is dead and they won’t come on the streets even if they fall prey to these ruthless political animals and democratically elected criminals.

He has left his office gracefully, he could have faced impeachment and make things even worse for economy and the stability of this county but he choose the path of self-sacrifice and fallen on his sword and avoided the way to confrontation.

I am disappointed and I am hopeless. I have broken all the political idols that I worshiped. I know I was wrong, I worshipped them, thats my sin.

Its high time that we stop relying on a single person and make our institutions strong. Its time to stop looking at others that they will some day change our destiny. Destiny is in our own hands, only we can change it, we have no other option if we want to live here. For others who are fleeing the country, I don’t blame them; They have the right not to waste their lives. Life is too precious to be given away on streets . But it is the poor and the middle class of this country that will ultimately suffer.

Shhhhhh, keep quite, stop every thing and just think, will these political animals ever change my fate, will they give me a good job and handsome salary, a safe environment to live, will they ever come to me and say that OK Mr. Ali Hammad you have done enough hard work now you will get the rewards, will I ever get justice without money, will they ever let me praise my God as I would like to, will I be given the freedom to hold them accountable for the basic rights for which I have to strive. The answer is NO, its not going to happen at least in my life.

I have deliberately shattered all the hopes that I had previously associated with these so called leaders. Its time for me to change myself and my attitude. I have stopped to worship the leader like other do.

Our analysis and criticism is based on what our politicaly motivated, self oriented, heavily financed TV anchors and news paper columnist say and write. Every one is searching for a chance and every one has a price. Woh koon tah aur kahan chala gya, kyon ke us ke qeemat us ko mil gae thee.. I am talking about Dr. Shahid Masood, a very true, practile and recent story where wealth dominates ideology.

Our minds are polluted by the media. They make and break these idols. They can make an ordinary person a hero instantly and then they ask us to worship him and we do. We posses such high caliber and intellectual skills.  These Ansaris, Abbasis, Mirs and all the other TV anchors make these idols, but they have to, because they are paid for this. These coward jackals and hungry dogs will always work for others, they have no ideology of their own, there ideology is money, money and money. If one snatches the bone from there mouth, someone else is ready to given them another. This is our media and this is our journalism.

It is all our fault. We all were not trained as we should have been. We were not taught about the ethics by our elders. They showed their worst and expected us to do better. All these leaders and corrupt people come from within. They are not imported. Unless we are not going to change our attitude our next generations are going to be worse.

Stop relying on any body else and show unity and above all DISCIPLINE and strive for making this country prosperous. This is our last chance. Be true to yourselves and love Pakistan.

Ryan Mickle seems like a sane guy. He’s well spoken, intelligent and pretty successful. He’s also environmentally conscious, to the point that he realized he didn’t need his two-year-old Range Rover Sport when his job relocated him to San Francisco.

But that wasn’t enough for Ryan. Tired with what he calls an “incremental approach to addressing climate change,” he wants to make sure nobody else makes the same mistake he did: buying an inefficient car totally unsuited to his needs. A self-professed “believer in the wisdom of the crowd,” he launched onefewer.org to let online voters decide the fate of his car.  Mickle promises his gas-guzzler will be taken off the road, never to emit another hydrocarbon.

Unless, of course, the voters decide to set it on fire.

Mickle says his idea is based on crowdsourcing, a term coined by Wired’s own Jeff Howe. Crowdsourcing relies on individual contributions from an undefined group that collectively helps an individual or organization reach a decision or accomplish a task.

In onefewer.com’s approach, online contributors come up with feasible means of permanently disabling the Rover’s internal combustion activities, vote on a best solution and see it happen. The goal, says Mickle, is to take the Rover “off the road forever however the world wants to, and to engage a conversation about the fate of the Range Rover itself and the ass-kicking changes we can make in our lives beyond travel mugs and canvas grocery bags.”

Yes, Mickle realizes the crowd could be full of morons who collectively decide to do something more environmentally destructive with the car than drive it. Driving a pile of chemically-impregnated foam and non-biodegradable plastics off a cliff and into a pristine wildlife habitat certainly doesn’t have a positive short-term environmental impact, and burning the thing would release more carcinogens into the air than any clean turbodiesel.

However, Mickle says his approach “might have greater environmental returns as a result of the changes it inspires in the greater number of onlookers, outweighing any additional environmental consequences.” In other words, the publicity generated by the destruction of the car would lead to a “conversation about the fate of the SUV itself” that might make people think about the environmental impact of their actions, or at least appreciate the proper use of the word “fewer.” Of course, it also might make a lot of people angry and turn fifteen minutes of fame into a night in jail.

It seems almost sinful to destroy such a gorgeous piece of machinery, especially one that remains so useful even with its unnecessary opulence. The Range Rover is no ordinary kludge of an SUV. It’s refined, gorgeous and extremely capable of handling itself in some of the harshest environments even if it is occasionally incapable of getting owners to work without a stop at the dealer.

Though the ’06 Sport is a world away from a trusty Defender in terms of refinement, most of those pictures of the wildlife we’re all trying so desperately to save would never have been taken without the help of the gents in Solihull. Land Rover BMW Ford Tata says their SUVs are “built for purpose,” a premise that Mickle hopes the crowd will take into account. He’s “hoping that the winning idea will be more environmentally conscious but totally out there.”

Let’s hope Mickle’s trust in the free market is well-placed. After all, it was the crowd that decided to use these purpose-built trucks for hauling groceries in the first place.

Mickle plans to consign his Ranger to its fate within a few months. We’ll be there when it happens and let you know how it goes.

Let’s talk, talk talk and talk. Take the remote control in hands and switch the channels. Yeah that’s what I was doing tonight. I changed one channel after another until I reached the last one and I had to press that same button 44 times in search of a “Tension-free” program…

Now here is what I found out, channel one to about channel 27(except HBO, Star Movies and Star World) all the channels were discussing THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF PAKISTAN… you must know that … then came ARY or may be INDUS, that was sweet, a very nice cute little girl dancing in front of the whole nation, her parents appreciating; lucky parents; people chanting slogans, clapping and whistling. Then came another young boy, dancing and being appreciating by the “International Level” judges’ .Thanks God we are competing with India at least in any way. All our parents must be so happy that now their boys and girls are getting the real chance to show their talent in front of the world. They were dying for that! Now I am sure we will produce world class dancers who may get a chance to show their talent in boogie woogie. That’s what our ultimate goal should be. Let them think, we will copy later on.

Back to channel 27, thanks God I found out National Geographic. But my dad said ‘Oh yaar kaheen aur laga kya her waqt kutay billay dhakta rahta ha tu…’ perhaps he too is anxious to know about THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF PAKISTAN.

Now let’s talk about the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF PAKISTAN. Off course none other than our beloved, Just, Fair and The most innocent “The Judiciary”. Once all the judges are reinstated every thing will be OK. Oh don’t forget get my favourate chap his highness Mr. justice Iftikhar Chaudry back. Because he has this (shhhh don’t tell any one, it’s a secret) secret magical stick with which he can solve every problem including atta issue , not only that he can light up your homes, bring back investment, flood the dams with water, make smooth roads with no bumps. Oh yeah the magical stick has the power to wipe out extremism from its roots. Off course we have voted for a change and only ifti uncle can bring that.

Back to TV and media. Let’s not forget the positive role of media in all the issues. Thanks to Geo, ARY, Express, Aaj and many others ohh I forget to mention Mian sahib’s latest investment; it’s not masala tv though, the waqt tv. Thanks for keeping us inform of the Real Issues. You rock guys. You all are working so hard to solve all the issues facing Pakistan. My special thanks to the new anchors cum politicians, Hamid Mir, Talat Hussain, Doctors, Khans, Ansaris and Abbasi and many more.

Its 8 O’clock and here is hamid mir having the The Most Significant people of Pakistan in his show, again discussing THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF PAKISTAN. Now lets talk, talk and talk, because that is the solution of every problem. Let’s swear upon Mushi, let’s curse him as he is the one and the only person responsible for every bad thing happening in this country. We should accept what Hamid Mir, Talat hussain , Kamran Khan, Shahid masood etc etc say. Because they are talking about, THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF PAKISTAN.

Hold on, wasn’t I talking about a “Tension-free” program?

What the hell, my fingers are tired of pressing the next button and I didn’t find one channel worth watching. Every damn third class journalist is trying to Tim Sabistian of hard talk. Now these third ill mannered fools try to tell me that what my most important problem is!

Two strong Mafia have emerged from no where. The Journalist Mafia and the Lawyers Mafia! Every member of the Journalist mafia has been given a one hour talk show to pump as much non-sense as he could in the minds of this foolish nation. Special songs have been prepared to salute the lawyer’s movement. But Why? Are they so law abiding? What happened when a couple of days back Supreme Court ordered Geo to stop humiliating politicians and judiciary, all of a sudden, on the gates of SC every member of this Mafia turned out against SC orders? What is this? On one side they are chanting slogans in favor of Judiciary and what happens when judiciary turns against them? Poor damn hypocrites.

How much freedom do these two Mafia want? Look at the lawyers! They were making bucks before and now they want a bigger share. You remember the famous paindu quote “Khuda thanay kacahree sa bachee” Why? You know why. Every lawyer and every judge in this country is on sale. Got some money, buy ‘em. The country where justice always has a price, you expect more freedom there. God help us then. We will have to earn really hard to buy law if we need it someday. Judiciary is the 3^rd most corrupt department in Pakistan after Police and WAPDA according to transparency international. God help us again.

And there is another phenomenon just evolved, The CIVIL SOCIETY.

Definition according to myPedia “A group of the most corrupt old bureaucrats, who had enjoyed there prime and now they have nothing to do and they don’t want to get retired and came back to get their share with a new label i.e. the civil society”

These thugs have looted Pakistan with both hands and now they have come back as civil society to get their share again. This civil society also include people like Asma Jhangir, who have spared no chance to appreciate India and blame Pakistan for whatever bad is happening around the globe, especially in her beloved country the India.

Now they say, people have voted for us just to bring back ifti. Oh come on; just tell me how many people in Pakistan even know the meaning of the very word ‘the constitution’? Pakistan’s seventy percent population is living in villages, now how on earth are they concerned about the reinstatement of judiciary. And that too in such a difficult time when a single rooti costs 5 Rupees. There is no electricity, we are among the top in the UN’s list of countries facing severe food crisis, we have no investment coming in, no basic infrastructure, markets are flooded with Chinese products, we are facing shortage of water, energy, food, health facilities, we are facing severe brain drain, lack of quality education and what not. And we are told by our politicians and our media mafia that judiciary is the prime issue and because these crisis are a byproduct of the previous government, so we cant handle it. Mr, Ishaq dar, our finance minister, comes up with a new calculation every day and tells us that what the last government did and that becomes the headline of the next day’s newspapers. So again, there is no harm is TALKING. So let’s keep talking. Our PM talks, our ministers’ talks, our media talks, our civil society talks … bacha bacha talks. Now then who will dare to tell a solution to any problem?

For how long will this government last by blaming the previous government? Man, the previous government is gone, it’s your government. Now face the music. You promised a lot, now fulfill ‘em.

But how can I expect a government who is begging UN to come and investigate the death of a third world country’s politician. The so called daughter of the East. God, open your eyes, she was a leader of a third world country and wasn’t a hero. She did nothing for this country; I refuse to accept her as my leader. I request Mr. ten percent that there were more important people whose cases need to be resolved before going for a UN team. People like Dr. Ghulam Murtaza, like Hakim Saeed, people like Gull Ge, people like Gen. Mushtaq Baig and so many more. They are my heroes and they are my mentors, not BB. They did something for the people of this country. But unfortunately if they die they are never entitled as “Shaheeds” but if a political leader is even hanged and charged with wrong doings, they will instantly be called as “Shaheed”.

Back to TV channels again, I was just wondering how many channels does Geo and ARY have; more than a dozen. And tell me about one single program that is “Tension-free”. Have you ever seen a program on any channel, discussing the issues like ‘why so many trees have been cut by CDA in Islamabad and what effect will it make’? or ‘why are their so many beggars on the streets’? Or ‘How should we educate our public to behave in the public areas’? Have you ever saw a program which depicts the true Pakistan. Just imagine a 1 hour program about the historic forts in Pakistan, a documentary program may be. I think they can make more than a thousand documentaries just on this topic. Have they ever made a program which shows the beautiful landscapes of this country, start from Sindh and Balochistan and come up to khabir, tell me about a single geographical location on this globe which has such a versatile landscape? A program on deserts of Pakistan, a program on mountains of Pakistan; do you know we have seven out of 14 highest peaks in the world. Imagine about a program on the wildlife of Pakistan, do you know that we have got some unique species of snakes that are not found else where. Have you ever heard and you can find Grizzlie bears in Pakistan. Imagine about a program on the heritage, cultural festivals and the folk music. We have got the most unique sufi music. We have got amazing people, but we don’t have time to show them on TV as we are too busy in judges’ issues. I am eager to see a TV quiz show but I don’t find any. I am eager to see PTV style dramas but now Geo tells me that SOAP is the real drama, bullshit. Everybody know that’s pure bullshit, why do they show it then?

Damn with corrupt Lawyers and shame on the irresponsible and immature Media and Journalists Mafia.

By Ali Hammad

Hussain, who was injured and taken prisoner by the Indian Army in the 1965 war, spent 40 years in Indian jails. He was released as a civilian prisoner in 2005. During his imprisonment, Hussain was subjected to terrible human rights abuses.

Hussain, bearing army No 335139, hit by enemy fire on the Line of Control at the start of the 1965 war. Subsequently, he is taken prisoner by the Indian army, who deny him Prisoner of War status. Trained in the traditions of the Pakistan Army, Hussain faces all the suffering and refuses to share any information about his country with his captors — so much so that when they cut out his tongue, he writes ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ (long live Pakistan) in his own blood. Hussain also becomes mentally ill during his four decades of incarceration.

The Great Sipahi Maqbool Hussian fought till the last gasp. Now is the time to pay all our respects and salute his bravery.

This is bit difficult but one should try to control the 10% instead of going for 90%.

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down.

The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How?

By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react? You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why?

Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don’t be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don’t have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. There never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged
You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life.

I found this slide show very informative… It may prove helpful to all of us if we follow the instructions properly…
