Embracing Individuality and Harnessing Nature's Power: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Personal Growth

Image
Anything, at any moment, can occupy your mind to the extent that thoughts flow like a melodious song as if the entire world has been captured by your intentions, emotions, and words. It feels as though you have achieved everything through your thoughts and words, actions & beliefs, and nothing can hinder you from attaining your goals. After a long time, I find myself immersed in such empowering thoughts that I feel compelled to share them with everyone who has a sanctuary in their self-help diary – a place where they can find motivation when every hope shatters.   Observing nature's power leads us to realize that if our intentions are firm and we work smarter each day than the previous one, the right time will come when we will attain what we desire, or something even better. However, the love we have for something will not go unanswered; the Almighty, to the extent of our devotion, will not let us return empty-handed.   Since childhood, I have had this innate element ...

The fugitive from Colombo brought Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa to Singapore   by Iqra Liaquat – July 14, 2022 The country whose literacy rate is 92.38% from 1981 – 2022. The country is called the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean” because of its substantial natural heritage, biodiversity, and gemstones. The largest cinnamon-producing country in the world. This country is also the first country in the world to introduce tea and is known as the "leading tea exporter". People who have ever visited or agreed to visit Sri Lanka must have noticed that there are a large number of archeological places that people come to see in droves. In Sri Lanka wildlife is found in large numbers. The “National Animal Planet” has also recorded many shows in the forest. Famous for different types of whales in the sea, surfing, Dhal curry, herbal remedies, and many more but there are people here who have to adorn it and people (government, elected persons) who have ruined the country and “now the country...
Li Shengwu is afraid to return to Singapore from US due to old  disputes by Iqra Liaquat – July 14, 2022 Mr. Li who is the nephew of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and son of his younger brother lee Hsien yang and an assistant economics professor at Harvard University caused a stir through his Facebook post that he made on July 15, 2017. In his post, he called the government "very litigious" and the judiciary a "pliant court system". As a result, he was fined $15,000. And according to the court orders, it was decided that if he did not pay within two weeks, he would have to spend one week in jail. But Shengwu is based in the United States, so he refused to take part in legal proceedings. Mr. Li case was hotly debated and emails were sent to him by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) and four reminders were also sent through courier services but no reply was received which proved that Mr. Li had “scandalized the judiciary”. If a wise person reads Mr. Li post, i...

How to make your LinkedIn profile stand out LinkedIn Banner First of all, your LinkedIn Profile should have a banner mentioning the skills and qualities that you want to sell in the market. Or you can mention the qualities that you are currently working on and start your career by selling those in the market in  near future. Profile Picture  Your profile picture is a key element of your LinkedIn presence. Statistics show that LinkedIn members with a photo receive far more engagement: 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests.

It doesn't matter. Intro Your name should be simple and complete. For example, if you are a doctor or engineer, you can also assign a degree title before the name. Headline The headline should be very specific and you ...

Empathy Matters

Image
        Empathy Matters  Isn't empathy part of the quality of leadership? Is a successful leader the one who has integrity, self-awareness, learning agility, communication skills and gratitude? But with all these qualities, what makes a good leader a great leader? We often come to the good and stop ourselves from improving ourselves and this is how our journey to greatness comes to a halt. There is no doubt that the leader motivates & inspires more than his actions. And everyone considers it a source of example. We do not know which of our acts will immediately affect whom and if any of our acts will begin to perceive our personality in the same way. And if a leader's action forces the perceiver to think so, it can have life time effects. "The difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people follow them while managers have people who work for them". Guess what the status of leadership is without empathy from this real life story and also r...

  ‘ Tum (Divine power)  mein aur aik cup chai’ S ometimes traveling in buses of Karachi, sometimes working in the office, sometimes climbing stairs, sometimes waiting for someone to stand in the sun, sometimes pressing mom's legs, sometimes eating, sometimes ironing clothes, sometimes While opening and closing the closet door and sometimes writing all this, many thoughts keep circulating in my mind. But when ideas have to be called words, then there is no pen in hand, no pages to write, no environment to record them. On 29-oct-2021 Exciting match between Pakistan and Afghanistan was going on and I was getting up from bed to wash the dishes when my brother saw a commercial of " Tapal Danedar"  on TV screen with the tagline "Tum mein aur aik cup chai". And as soon as he finished the sentence by saying tea, thoughts started circulating in my mind. I don't know why we always think the word "you" means as a human. Don't know why we imagine...

"Chatpata_Shikarpuri_achar"

Image
Pickles have been part of our history and culture. This process is as ancient as our civilization. People first started salting and curing food in brines to preserve it for long journeys. In Pakistan, pickles are very popular with food and are being used as an important ingredient in almost every household. Pickles made from the famous vegetables or fruits of the city of Pakistan make this area famous and unique. @chatpata_shikarpuri_achar also has a distinct name throughout Pakistan. And as soon as one hears the name of Shikarpur, one does not forget to remember the pickle.     I also received @chatpata_shikarpuri_achar a few days ago as a PR Package. They sent me Mix achar and Mirchi achar. I didn't expect it to be so good and delicious. And they claim that the Aroma, Taste and Flavor of Shikarpuri achar captures the true essence of Pakistan.   And I am happy to say that there are brands in Pakistan that are claiming the same product the consumer is getting. @chatpata_...
