2nd February : "there is no point making a change for someone when they aren't able to witness it.Which makes it all the more important to not expect any appreciation from them".

4th February :
"when i look back at my important school years, i cant help but believe i would've done wonders if i wasn't constantly overcome by depression, anxiety or both, without them coming in my way i would've had my head straight and focussed on my aim. However i have no regrets because i learnt a valuable lesson of not getting sidetracked by things that seem important but aren't and always keep reminding myself of the ultimate goal. In the end of the day no one wants to achieve it as much as me." Syeda Fatima,18

Education- how to really be interested

Education, i believe is the most important thing to pursue and take serious after your religion.But however it's undoubtedly the most pain in the ass thing to do- again after your religion. And as most of us have asked ourselves the question to why this hatred towards education phenomenon exists, we rarely do come up wit an answer that is satisfying to all the human race. And no one can deny the fact that an answer to this is crucial for the development of a human being at an individual level as well as being productive for his society, country and the world over all.

The reason to why this disinterest in education exists is for allot of reasons. The to cure this problem lies in the identification of the reason and then critically analyzing it which would then lead to a solution that is applicable and would result in a change of attitude. However it is quite noticeable that this hatred for studies and education exists only at a certain age, usually the youth and the schooling period.

If you find someone who loves his/her job their whole outlook to their life and career, they can be a great motivation for you to be interested in learning more about what they do. Surprisingly you can get interested in things you thought were not even worth considering. Similarly its how practically you apply your discipline is what can motivate the students to learn more. the students feel that what they are being taught everyday in a class of not less than 30 students, for 5hrs is something that is totally useless to them, when it is completely the opposite!!

in everyday life when one comes across someone who seems knowledgeable about even the tiniest thing is interests us human beings, because we are made as curious creatures who like to know more and are inquisitive about everything, but we fail to realize that that same person who's enlightening you about that particular topic has also educated himself either in school or by using the resources he had in order to satisfy his curiosity.

so basically the key to get anyone interested in studies is to highlight not the importance of it in way of their career but in it's practicality in everyday life. it's based on a simple theory when someone is investing their time in learning a game they also want to play it!!

The other forgotten necessity (article)

The other forgotten necessity.

Todays is a fast moving world, where life is becoming a burden and every movement made is right along with the hands of the clock. But being a part of this jungle, not only are we forgetting the main purpose of everything we do,but are also unable to realize that there are actually more important things we ignore while in this quest to perfection and achievement of goals.

It is very common for one to ignore their family and friends, spending extra hours at work,or with the college activities or education. Living away from home is a common phenomenon and is encouraged as well for a better and stable future. But as human beings having one goal set we tend to neglect the fact that there are other things that are actually more important than that extra client you'd arrange a meeting with, or that extra hour in the library you'd spend pondering over material of no use. We tend to embrace these plastic dreams and these goals at the cost of (maybe not intentionally) losing our loved ones. And sometimes those people themselves don't realize that effect caused by this behavior of the busy person on them, but this effect is undeniable.

The commonality of one missing their parents' funeral, or their siblings going through the roughest time of their life at the hospital is not new. But as people who claim to love their family members and friends so much, it is our responsibility to pause our lives, take a deep breath and really think, and figure out if this is the way we chose to live?. If really the satisfaction of work (or maybe not) given more importance than spending a bit of your daily time with the ones that actually do matter is the right thing to do. Its not their fault they cant do what your university, or that country you're living in or that company you're working in can do for you. But surely after achieving all that, wanting them back as though nothing ever happened after keeping them on hold for yrs is not the way!. If you by any chance even after that are expecting them to welcome you with open arms, well, then you're just expecting too much!. Time and distance can change things that no one can help, and the sad possibility is that you might even miss out on those people whom you were working so hard for for good. No one can help the way they feel, some of those people might have changed feelings for you.

Having an aim in life, regarding anything is good. Setting goals helps a person to be focussed and productively live his life. But it is important for one to keep in mind while working so hard on these goals (especially if you're living away from home) to keep in touch with family, be interested in their life, show love and express it, indifferences in relationships are caused mainly due to not giving enough time and support to the ones who need you when they need you. Wanting them to understand your life can happen only when you also make an effort to understand theirs.


All in all; it should be ones goal in life also to always do whatever it takes to keep those people that mean so much to you close,no matter the distance no matter the busy and hectic schedules,no matter the situations of your life because they are merely excuses. Them living their lives; wanting you to be wanting them is not the way.

Never should one underestimate the loss caused by losing of their loved ones, if you truly love them don't ignore them, because the misconception that they should be the ones who should understand your life and be the ones who should bear with you while you are in the process that usually lasts for a long time has to be taken out of our minds and thrown away. Because that is nothing but impractical and selfish, life is to small to have them bear with you because you are way too busy. And in the end of the day you might just end up the loser, who's gained everything material, but lost his/her people in the process.
