Indian EC would have arrested the entire government machinery for violation of EC’s orders. But then this is toothless and impotent PAK EC.

Stop Going to So Many Meetings

How can you get any work done when you’re in meetings all day? You can’t. But instead of griping, be more discerning about which meetings you go to. Before saying yes to invitation, ask yourself, “If I was sick on the day of this meeting, would it need to be rescheduled?” If you answer “no,” then decline the meeting and try one of these less time-intensive alternatives:

Get an agenda. Ask to look at the agenda ahead of time so you can pass on your comments to the meeting organizer to share on your behalf. (Bonus: This may force him to actually make an agenda!)

Delegate. Send someone else from your group to communicate your team’s perspective.

Ask for notes. If someone is going to share important information but you’ll just be listening, request a copy of the meeting notes after the fact.
Today’s Management Tip was adapted from “Break Your Addiction to Meetings.”

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of
getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks
into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first
one.”

Forgiveness is a willingness to pardon someone.

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968); minister, civil rights activist

Mr. Saad Rafiq Please Explain the Following Anomaly:-

“Citing an example in NA-125, where National Assembly candidate Khawaja Saad Rafiq got 123,094 votes while his two provincial candidates obtained around 100,000 votes, Chaudhry asked, “Is it possible that some 25,000 PML-N supporters voted for Saad Rafique and did not vote for the two provincial assembly candidates,” he asked.”
