34 runs in 1st 6 power play overs is a new lowest score record.

Pakistan is on the verge of creating a new record of lowest score in the power play 6 overs.

Hafeez is father of playing dot balls.

Kamran Akmal got himself run out in Sheer panic, on a non shot and no possible run (either of the batsmen would have been run out on a ball played over the body by Akmal) after playing 7 dot balls.

Kamran Akmal played 5 dot balls, in the 1st over.

Shame on the PCB person responsible (Zakir Khan) for purchase of substandard kit for the Pak team.

The shape and stitching of the cap on the head of Hafeez was no comparison with the cap on the head of MS Dhoni.

Mr. Najam Sethi must conduct an enquiry over the purchase of pathetic kits for our national team and hand over the responsible person to NAB for defaming Pakistan’s image and reputation.

An Excerpt from
Own Your Dreams: Discovering Your Purpose in Life!
by John C. Maxwell
If you are unsure of what your dream might be—either because you are afraid to dream or because you somehow lost your dream along the way—then start preparing yourself to receive your dream by doing five things to put yourself in the best possible position to receive a dream.

Once you do these five things, focus on discovering your dream. As you do, keep this in mind: ‘A dream is what you desire if anything and everything is possible.’
1. Mental Preparation: Read and study in areas of your greatest interest.
2. Experiential Preparation: Engage in activities in areas related to your interests.
3. Visual Preparation: Put up pictures of people and things that inspire you.
4. Hero Preparation: Read about and try to meet people you admire and who inspire you.
5. Physical preparation: Get your body in optimal shape to pursue your dream.

Try This Exercise to Clarify What Your Company Stands For

For your organization to be successful, you must be crystal clear about your brand essence – i.e. your brand’s essential, enduring value. When what you stand for is clearly expressed and delivered in everything you do, every day, you leave an indelible mark on people’s hearts and minds. If that’s not clear yet, ask yourself:

What was the brand’s biggest accomplishment? What will it be remembered for?

What did the brand leave unaccomplished? Who would miss the brand if it was gone? Why?

What lessons can be learned from the brand’s life?

If the brand disappeared, what would take its place?
