Disgracing the Glory

An article from my friend – Fida Karim on Facebook brought up many questions in my mind like....What is the standard of University Education in Rural Sindh????......or….Is this how most of the students score "A+" and "A" grades in Rural Sindh????

Article
Lately I came across a DOUBLE MASTER degree holder in rural Sindh. He stated that he wants to work in social sector therefore, needed my assistance to find a suitable job in development sector. This is how we interacted:

Me: please tell me about yourself and your educational background?
Candidate: Sir I have masters degree in Economics and Sociology one got from Shah Abdul Latif Uni Khairpur and later on from Sindh Uni Jamshoro. I have "A" in both the subjects.
Me: Great! i am excited to know about your academic credentials. May I know what were major subjects in Masters in Economics as I myself is an Economics graduate having special interest in development economics?
Candidate: Sir have completed my degrees quite some time ago that's why not remember the names of subjects......
Me: Its alright! What were your subjects at your Graduation level? 
Candidate: Sir it was graduation level subjects 
Me: Great! you might have completed Intermediate as well ? 
Candidate: Yes Sir
Me: We needed people like you. May i know what subjects did you learn in your inter?
Candidate: Sir Economics
Me: What did you learn in Economics?
Candidate: regarding economics 
Me: Regarding economics? I didn't understand. . . may you please elaborate what were you learning in Economics?
Candidate: Sir why are you asking what I have learn . . . actually we complete an year than automatically promoted to next class. What we were doing was simply copying from books and moving ahead.
Me: Great! I know this is how it happens; what else you can do? Tell me about your experience?
Candidate: I have experience of carrying tents and other items on head to safer places during 2010-11 floods.
Me: anything else? What about English and computer skills?
Candidates: I can write English (copying) but can't use computer.
Me: You are an "exceptional" candidate so we didn't have any "exceptional" position except a vacant position of Dish Washer, but for that you are "overqualified" nevertheless, I will strongly recommend you whenever there arise any "exceptional positional" in my professional or social circle. 
Good Luck & Cheers

President of Uruguay - All Pakistani Politicians should be like this Man

President of Uruguay

Thats Not A Poor Farmer Checking On His Crops. You ll Never Guess Who It Actually Is…

Meet José Mujica. He may look like your average farmer or grandfather, but he is anything but. This man is globally known as the worlds poorest President because he lives a life of humility… all while leading the country of Uruguay. As a man who truly cares about his people, he doesnt take an obscene amount of money to just act as a politician. He donates about 90% of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.

Other countries, listen up.

Its not uncommon to see Jose dressed like this. He doesnt care about money and appearances, but just leading his country.

He was a guerrilla fighter that battled for the rights of the country's citizens, was imprisoned twice and was shot 6 times after an escape attempt. He has literally spent his entire life fighting for his country.

This is Uruguay's Presidential Palace. He doesn't live here.

Instead, he lives here, on a farm with his wife.

He actually is a part-time farmer. He and his wife also grow and sell flowers. He also drives a 1987 Volkswagon Beetle.

He only has two guards positioned on his road. Along with his beloved 3-legged dog Manuela, of course.

Instead of acting like he is better than everybody else, the president of a country wholeheartedly believes that he IS like everybody else.

In a time when it seems that rich politicians rule the world, learning about Jose is truly refreshing.

Be firm on your Goals

Mout Ki Aagosh mei sub Beh Jayega

Rise above every Circumstances

All mankind is divided into three classes; those that are immovable,
those that are movable and those that move.
Benjamin Franklin

The immovable (in my opinion) are those that are content with where they are in life. They have no need or desire to do anything different or go anywhere further. They are happy where they are at, and as far as I am concerned, I am happy for them.

The movable (in my opinion) are those that are not necessarily unhappy where they are at, they just see where someone else is and decide they want that. They are the ones that want to climb the corporate ladder and are always out to better themselves.  There is nothing wrong with being movable in this case

The ones that move (in my opinion) are the ones that take chances, follow their dreams, push the boundaries, think outside the box and charge into the unknown with both eyes open. They are the ones who listen to the negative but don’t take it to heart. Hear the positive but don’t drown in it and stay humble throughout life.

Yes, I could have taken that analogy another way, a lower way, but why would I do that? What would that look like?

I’m sure if you thought about it, you could come up with what I started to write next but I decided against it, and I suggest you take the same road.
The immovable doesn't need to be the stagnant, arrogant type.
The movable doesn't need to be the low self-esteem and bullied type.

Rise above that. See the beauty in every situation (or at least try to) and when you start to see that dirty stuff trickling its way in, hit the delete button and take pride in the smile you have and hopefully, you are helping to spread.

Have a blessed day!
