Make Everyone on Your Team Feel Included

Feeling left out or ignored at work can have tremendously negative effects on workers’ well-being. If you want to create a more inclusive environment for your team, set an example. Inclusive attitudes start at the top. Examine your own biases and behaviors. Helping people feel that they belong doesn’t mean downplaying their differences. Make sure you recognize each team member’s uniqueness by acknowledging the distinct talents and perspectives he or she brings to the table. Supporting your employees’ development will also help foster a sense of inclusion. For a more introverted worker, assign some management responsibilities to help him build his leadership skills. And seek input: a simple way to make employees feel included is to ask for their opinions in front of others.

Adapted from “Who’s Being Left Out on Your Team?” by Carolyn O’Hara.

The nation salutes the lion hearted local PTI female leader/tigress Ms Lubna for showing extra ordinary courage by standing all alone in front of a huge and extremely rowdy PMLN crowd at the Chowk GHANTA GHAR Faisalabad, where a hoodlum charged on her from backside and tried to snatch the stick from her hand but failed in his nefarious attempt.

This is the result of the training imparted by the KAPTAN to his followers to shun fear from their minds and break the idol of fear (KHOUF KA BOT).

Now all PTI Tigers and Tigresses are such a fearless followers of the party that no opponent will dare face them..!

The world is surprised why the Indian Army commander missed to state that Pakistan’s flag and Pakistan’s national anthem CD (wrapped in a Pakistani newspaper may be “Pakistan Times”), was also found from the Kashmiri freedom fighters who attacked India’s occupied military forces installations in Kashmir.

Come on India your commanders even don’t have a sense of mocking a proper “False Flag” against Pakistan.

If this is the mental level of senior Indian Army commanders, then really pity on you..!

Last but not the least, for the consumption of the Indian occupation forces in Kashmir and the Indian government leadership, as well; the right to resist the occupation forces is the legal and moral right of the Kashmiri people as enshrined in the UN charter and explained below:

The Palestinian’s (read Kashmiris) legal right to resist occupation—to fight for their ability to promote, sustain, and nurture human life, to fight for their right to grow, to flourish—comes from two documents: the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples and the Fourth Geneva Convention and its subsequent protocols.

Taken together, people (read Kashmiris) have the right to “fight against colonial domination and alien occupation in the exercise of their right to self-determination,” Israeli human rights lawyer Lynda Brayer explained.

Writing in CounterPunch this spring in the wake of Goldstone’s backpedaling, Brayer went into detail:

Above and beyond the basic right of all human beings to resist their being killed and harmed, and a society to take armed actions to protect itself, this document legitimizes also national liberation struggles, including, at this time in history, most particularly, the Palestinian (read Kashmiris) people’s struggle for its own freedom. It is this right which legitimizes all Palestinian (read Kashmiris) attempts to lift the yoke of Israeli (read Indian) oppression from Palestine (read Kashmir) including all the actions taken by the Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead.And is not the right to resist oppression universal? Does this right not justify the American Revolution and then the French Revolution and the wars of liberation in the 1950′s and 1960′s. Nelson Mandela is a hero because of his resistance to, not because of his subservience to apartheid repression. And the Warsaw Ghetto uprising by the Jewish population against the Nazi repression is a beacon of pride in modern Jewish history. it is also a fact that Jews who joined the resistance, say in Poland or other places under Nazi occupation, are heroes for the Jewish people. I would contend that one cannot deny that right of resistance to Palestinians which the Jews appropriated to themselves, and which is the right of all peoples living under military occupation and/or colonialist regimes.

Richard Falk, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, a professor of international law at Princeton University, the author of dozens of books, writes in “International Law and the Al-Aqsa Intifada”:

Though the Israeli government and the US media persist in describing the second Palestinian intifada as a security crisis or a disruption to the ‘peace process,’ in international law, Palestinian (read Kashmiris) resistance to occupation is a legally protected right…Israel’s (read India’s) failures to abide by international law, as a belligerent occupant, amounted to a fundamental denial of the right of self-determination, and more generally of respect for the framework of belligerent occupation — giving rise to a Palestinian (read Kashmiri) right of resistance.

It boils down to this: every time the Israeli (read Indian) military arrests a Palestinian (read Kashmiri) for “stone throwing” or “incitement” or any other bogus, trumped-up charges—and every time Israel (read India) holds a protest organizer or a Popular (read Hurriyat) Committee leader prisoner—it is, perversely, detaining Palestinians (read Kashmiris) for exercising their inalienable moral and legal rights to resist an illegal and violent military occupation.

Ultimate words of a great wise man on happiness..!

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”

— Leo Tolstoy

Make Exercise Part of Your Work Routine

Regular exercise can produce countless benefits—from improved concentration and sharper memory to enhanced creativity and lower stress—all of which boost workplace performance. Yet many of us believe we don’t have the time. So instead of viewing exercise as something you do for yourself, consider physical activity as part of the work itself. Here are a few ways to incorporate more exercise into your routine:
Identify a physical activity you like. You’re more likely to stick with an activity if you enjoy doing it. If you’re not into treadmills, try tennis or swimming or dancing.
Invest in improving your performance. Don’t think of it as “getting some exercise.” Focus on mastering an activity. Hire a coach, enroll in a class, and buy the right clothing and equipment.
Become part of a group. Find an exercise regimen that involves other people. It can be more fun and keep you committed.

I don’t believe in taking wickets by chucking. Hence, the 85 wickets of Saeed Ajmal are fake wickets obtained with a bend of the arm almost equal to 50 degrees against the permissible limit of 15 degrees…!

Sarfraz is not at a wicket keeping material.
He is just an ordinary fielder forcefully asked to take on pads and gloves for standing behind the wickets…

As they say “he is tall that is all”. Sarfraz is behind the wickets that is all.
