“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him. ”

Sidney Greenberg (1917-2003);

Set the Right Tone for Your Talk

When you present, your audience usually sizes you up before you even utter a word — so it’s critical to make a positive first impression.
Start by communicating ahead of time.
Send a thoughtfully written agenda with a concise but telling subject line — and be explicit about what the audience will get out of it.
Once they’re in the room, match your disposition to your presentation.
For your content to ring true, do you need to come across as passionate? Humbled by the challenges ahead? If you’re announcing a layoff: be somber, not happy. If your talk is upbeat, chat with individuals as the group gathers.
No matter what tone you’re trying to establish, be available and sincere.

“The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.”

Al-Azmat-ul-Allah

A great news reported by the daily the NEWS:

“A leading religious scholar at the Darul Uloom Haqqania in Akora Khattak on Sunday withdrew his fatwa (religious decree) against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Inasf chief and said Imran Khan was a staunch Muslim who believed in the finality of the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

Request to Imran Khan

One of the Imran Khan’s promise with the nation was, that he will never allow any compromise on the dignity of Pakistan.
Up till now, it has been a norm that foreign ministers of USA and other countries have been directly calling to our President and the PM: whilst our FM’s can’t even think of calling their HOS or PM’s.
Moreover, foreign ambassadors have been meeting our President and the PM without any protocol; and similarly, our ambassadors can’t even think of doing the same in those foreign countries.
So my request to Imran Khan is that after he is blessed by Allah to lead Pakistan, he must stop such ways of in dignified treatment of Pakistan and its leaders.

Dawn TV has reported that Nawaz Sharif has said that he will provide Kargil inquiry report to India, if he became PM again.
For me, it looks unbelievable from a two time EXPERIENCED PM of Pakistan. And these people then have the audacity to say that PTI leadership is inexperienced.

What a lethal advertisement of PPP (conversation between ex-Justice Abdul Qayyum and Saif ur Rehman of PMLN) just aired by Dunya TV Channel.

Unbelievable story of coercing a judge and dictating him to give maximum specific punishment.

Shame on CT Punjab govt.
