Dear Mr. Imran Khan,

AoA.

Please accept heartiest congratulations on beyond expectations success (by the Grace of Allah) of Karachi “BUND” for which first of all, the nation salutes the local ordinary PTI workers and general public of Karachi and secondly, PTI’s entire central and Karachi/Sindh leadership, deserves Kudos, for planning a brilliantly intelligent strategy and it’s meticulous implementation.

Also please mark my words that beyond expectations success of FDB & KHI BUNDS, are Inshallah, a precursor, for
unimaginable success at Lahore, on coming Monday, for which I offer best wishes and advance congratulations.

Pakistan Paindabad.

Stop Trying to Hide Your Failures

Even though failure is praised in places like Silicon Valley, it’s still considered taboo in many workplaces. But the truth is that we need to experience failure in order to learn and grow. So how do we leverage a setback to succeed next time? First, we have to speak openly and honestly about our failures, so they are put into their proper context. Recognize that innovation requires failure. If you have a 100% success rate, you’re not doing anything new. Instead of hiding your mistakes, own your narrative. In some ways, it’s a reframing: it’s not so much that you’re creating something (such as a product or service) that failed; it’s that you’re steadily improving a series of drafts. And remember, failure is ongoing. After all, stretch goals are things outside your wheelhouse that may not work out. But if you’re making new and different mistakes, that’s progress.

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring. Who, being loved, is poor? ”

A Healthy Lunch Can Fuel Better Productivity

What we eat affects our performance more than we realize. That’s why a poor decision at lunch can derail an entire afternoon. Foods like pasta, bread, cereal, and soda give you a burst of energy, followed by a slump. And high-fat foods like cheeseburgers and BLTs make you groggy because your digestive system works harder to process them, reducing oxygen levels in the brain. Fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, contain vital nutrients that can motivate and energize you, as well as improve memory and enhance mood. To eat healthier and accomplish more work in the afternoons, make your eating decisions before you get hungry. Eat smaller, more frequent meals to avoid spikes and drops in blood sugar, which are bad for productivity. And make healthy snacking easier; place some almonds, protein bars, or fruit by your computer, rather than a bag of chips.
