A lost ounce of gold may be found, a lost moment of time never.
How true! Offering prayers will not avail me of preparing for the worst. Only hoping for the best.
Again time has shown its promising natue of constructively designing the life of a man. I now live by the principle: Don’t waste time. Keep monitoring any responses to immediate concerns and keep repeating in your mind, Are you wasting your time? It’s strange but as a matter of fact being one’s own disciplinarian by advising oneself repeatedly of saving time by utilizing the now-and-here moment in constructively transforming energy and intelligence into some profitable job is all it takes to achieve excellence in life–free of a haunting sense of guilt.
In the evening, I went out for shopping with a long list of items. When I got back, my dear friend Sohail came to meet me. He took me with himself and we sat in an Internet cafe for 1 hour. He had to send some important emails to suppliers of goods which he had to offer to potential customers in Pakistan and earn some handsome commission in the deal.
(It’s 5am and I so much wish to sleep now, but I have to finish today’s report of the activities to take appraisal of my performance and thus improve my life by changing the pattern of responses to challenges of life.)
Sohail and I sat in the tea house together to discuss our future. I didn’t disclose the fact to him that I had stopped working as a freelance writer for Rehan. Instead I gave a response as if the task was although very tough yet I was willing to earn money because of less possibility of surviving otherwise.
I, before that, also visited the site of ROZEE.com and applied for a few jobs. Maybe I receive a call for the interview soon to start working somewhere and earn money.
I didn’t work on the assignment of Ayesha. Again the same problem of an inability to discipline myself for some constructive work. However, I visited a few sites and found the topic “5 Major Causes of Violence in Karachi” very impressive and honestly searched out some information on the Internet which would help me write a comprehensive report of MQM and its militant activities to subvert peace and stability in the city. Knowing the causes of violence will help a great deal to plan for the future and get ready for a violent spurt of killings and vandalism.
MQM as such didn’t play any role in bringing peace and prosperity in the city. On the contrary blaming others for withholding rights of those emigrants who came to Pakistan from India and Bengladesh fuelled the flame of hatred and rage among innocent youth. As a result of that, many young people were forced to lose their life for Altaf Bhai cause, which still is understandably not clear. I have to write this assignment tommorrow.
It means a lot when you realize that people in other countries don’t depend on Asians for a long-term relationship. They avoid Pakistanis. Maybe Pakistanis have a hell lot of time to waste and live aimlessly till the end.
GOOD NIGHT!
