Loud Thinking

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal also please talk about the storming of PMLn of the President House, Parliament House and the Supreme Court..!

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal you are talking about the nuclear Pakistan. I hope you will also talk about what your son wrote about our Armed Forces..!

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal you are talking about the storming of the parliament. I hope you will also talk about the storming of the voting booth’s.

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal you are talking of the HURMAT of the Parliament House?

I hope you know the HURMAT of the life and blood of even a single person as ordained by Allah in the Holy Quran..!

Mr. Ahsan Iqbal reality bites….and naked reality bites more gravely!

Mr. Imran Khan and Dr. Tahir ul Qadri, fully deserve to be awarded Noble Peace Prize, for creating mass level awareness, for their civic and basic democratic rights, in the teeming millions (200 million) of Pakistan.

Can Mr. Ahsan Iqbal explain the reasons, why he is pointing fingers towards the Army (when he says that printing and distribution of ballot papers was the responsibility of the Army), when their government was not in place at that time?

This explanation leaves more questions than it answers any..!

Is there any black in the pulse or the whole pulse is black?

Dr.Tahir ul Qadri…..Insult KAR KAY JEO..!

The entire nation salutes TUQ for sending PPP and Khurshid Shah (PA to Nawaz Sharif) to the cleaners…!

Start a Negotiation Off the Right Way

When sitting down to a negotiation, many wait to see if the other person is going to make the first move. Instead of sitting back, lead the way. Start the conversation by establishing how you two will work together. Rather than presenting demands right out of the gate and waiting for a reaction, show that you’re eager to hear your counterpart’s position. Ask about her interests and listen. Repeat what you’ve heard so she knows you understand. Share information yourself. Whenever you suggest an option, explain your reasoning – without giving a speech – and give her time to absorb and respond. If, on the other hand, your counterpart takes charge first, in a way that you feel is unhelpful (by tossing out a position or making a subtle threat), there’s no need to follow. Suggest a different approach that would be more beneficial.
