Loud Thinking

Life is too short to waste a single second with anyone, who doesn’t appreciate or value you.

Achievement is to accomplish something by superior ability or special effort.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882);
Philosopher, Poet, Author, Essayist

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”

Big 3 or Pig 3..? (Ejaz Butt Zindabad).

PCB distances itself from Ijaz Butt’s “sons of pigs” remark.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) moved quickly on Tuesday to distance itself from a “sons of pigs” reference to India, England and Australia made by former chairman Ijaz Butt.

Butt, head of the PCB between 2008-11, made the comment as he came out of the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore after a meeting with current chairman Najam Sethi to discuss the structural changes at the International Cricket Council (ICC) ruling body.

Pakistan abstained from voting in favour of the changes at an ICC meeting in Singapore earlier this month, and has opposed the reforms which effectively hand control of world cricket to India, Australia and England.

Asked on live television what he thought about the ‘Big Three’ boards, Butt said: “Listen don’t quote me but in my personal opinion all three are sons of pigs”.

A PCB official reacted speedily to Butt’s remark by saying: “It’s his opinion not the board’s. We have no more comment to make”.

Butt added that Pakistan now needed to safeguard their own interests in world cricket.

“Every board is looking after its own interests and that is what we also must do,” he said.

Sethi has been meeting former heads of the PCB on the ‘Big Three’ issue after taking over as chairman last week. He has made it clear that Pakistan will be reviewing their stance on the ICC changes.

Believe-In-Yourself is to have confidence in yourself and your abilities.

“…Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”

Ayn Rand (1905-1982);
writer, philosopher
