Journey is the Reward

"Journey is the Reward"; most of the time I indulge a little too excessively in the destination and miss out the pleasure of the journey itself.  Every passing moment is life which I had desired for; living the moment is living the life; otherwise what is the point of having a long life. Journey is the Reward and as beautiful as the destination itself; at times even more. 

Inconsiderate Support

One cannot rise beyond one's imagination and shall not get (in a real world) more than one desire for.  Zardari is a lesson to all the political workers about where can blind support take a political party and in fact a country. 

7 WAYS TO BE MORE CREATIVE

[Sic]


1. Be curious

When he was alive, Albert Einstein proclaimed that he had no special talents, that he was “only passionately curious.” Curiosity is by far one of the most important aspects of growing creatively. If you aren’t curious, you’re missing opportunities to fix what’s not broken, to see what others are overlooking, and to see connections that nobody else has made.

2. Watch your time

We all have certain times of the day when we’re most productive. For some, early morning is when they feel energized and ready to dive into work, for other people it’s late at night. Whenever you are most productive is the ideal time to work on solving problems or working on projects, so start to track when you’re feeling most productive. Doing so allows you to hold off on ideation until your perfect time.

3. Challenge yourself daily

It’s easy to get into a routine these days. Many of us wake up, head to school or work, do what we’re told to do, then end up watching TV or some other menial task. If you haven’t heard: your brain is a muscle. The more you challenge your thinking daily, the more creative connections will build in your brain. Michael Michalko has a great list of creative experiments you can use to challenge yourself daily.

4. Be adventurous

Your experiences every day impact how your brain formulates ideas. Give yourself new experiences – ones that scare and challenge you at least a little – and you’re essentially giving yourself fuel for creativity. When you experience something new, your brain stores everything from the experience for connecting later on. As Steve Jobs once explained:“creativity is just connecting things.”

5. Give up on perfection

Many of us are taught to pursue perfection, but that’s a wall for creativity. If you’re always seeking out one specific outcome to a problem or situation, you’re likely to overlook the millions of other functional solutions. It’s a hard habit to break, but giving up perfection is a great way to open yourself up to new ideas.

6. Listen to other’s ideas

If you make an effort to hear somebody else’s thoughts or ideas at least once a day, you’re guaranteed to find some insight. This goes back to point 4 above: by exposing yourself to ideas that you otherwise may not have, you’re giving your brain fuel for connecting ideas down the road. Who knows, maybe you’ll hear something one day that changes your entire future.

7. Find time to relax

Hustling is important if you want to be a creative success. You have to work hard and be diligent in coming up with ideas. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take a break at least once in a while. The important thing is to identify when and how much of a break to take. This is a personal preference that you’ll have to spend a few days getting right, but once you find the right mix of working hard and giving your brain a break, you’re bound for creative greatness.

Mind the 'Stereotyping'

If a party or organization fails to deliver, the leadership is to blame. Its not a matter of new or old faces, it’s a matter of going for new option when previous one unable to deliver or lack capacity to deliver. If the new option fails to deliver, it should share the fate of the previous one. But we should not be afraid of trying the NEW. You never know when a new one gets clicked. Its time to let go of the previous associations and to give message to not only old ones but also to the new ones that we mean business, if you broke promises or unable to deliver, you will also be cleared away.

As far as new people are concerned, unless you and I are willing to pick the load, we cannot expect new people in the game. Currently, its an expensive and dangerous game (new people can hardly sustain a threat of family suffering) so we have to live with a few good people who have the stature to live through this filthy system which –btw – the existing lot has flourished to keep ‘gentlemen’ away from politics. Criticsizing the new people is also a tool of this filthy system, beware of being part of this. We have to start with the existing tool as the ‘ideal’ tool may never come or may come with bloodshed. Lets give a chance to new people even if they are a few. Remember; history is witness, that it’s a leader who makes or breaks a nation that’s why he gets credit and, on the flip side, a blame.

Catch a Fish

No wonder PPP pet slogan "Roti, Kapra aur Makaan" doesnt include Education. Interestingly if only education could be guaranteed; one could take care of needs of Roti, Kapra and Makaan oneself!. One has to understand the difference of handing a fish to poor and teaching to catch one!!

They want to keep majorty of the nation illiterate so can be fooled with patty things and keep them slaves forever. Our universities are being closed while their children are being trained by best foreign universities at taxpayers’ cost & corruption money.

Education - Help Ourselves:

Responsible citizens need to develop an education fund. People can contribute nominal amount from Rs. 1 to 100 per month in the fund and the amount collected is spent on rehabilitation of schools in flooded areas and also ghost schools in other part of the country with the involvement of respected individuals in the area. The fund should be transparent and audited by a reputable audit firm. I volunteer myself but would need a group of people to join. If One million people contribute average Rs.100 per month, it sums up to Rs.100 million. And if we spend Rs. 200,000 per school per month, we can set in motion 500 schools. This is about time we take control in our hand and start contributing in small areas where we can. We know education is not on our politians’ “To Do” list, therefore, lets stop living in fool’s heaven and move our butts.

Cricket

It is little unfair to humiliate the entire nation for wrong doings a few players. Did anyone undermine Australian nation for Shane Warne & Waugh or South African for Hansi & Gibbs or Indians for Azher or Jadeyja? Lets wait for the investigation report and if found guilty, ensure exemplary punishment and move one. We ...shld abstain from unproductive habit of self-pity and making everything a matter of life or death.
