These days, I see many people on social media giving business advice. Some say, “I earned this much from crypto,” others talk about making big money through Amazon or property. For people like me, it becomes confusing. We start thinking, “Is this really true?” or “Should I ask them for guidance?” But wait—before you follow them blindly, let’s pause and think deeper. Let’s connect this with basic human nature. Imagine this: You are digging in your backyard and suddenly you find a hidden treasure. Now tell me honestly, will you run and invite all your neighbors? Will you post it online and say, “Hey everyone, I found treasure!” No! You’ll keep it quiet. You’ll protect it, hide it, and make sure nobody finds out. That’s human nature, we don’t share treasures easily. So now, ask yourself again. If someone has truly found a way to earn huge money through crypto, Amazon, or other businesses, why would they share it with you? Why would they want more people to come in and share the profit?

 Recently, during a short trip to Nathiagali, I noticed one animal that was seen everywhere — the Rhesus Macaque Monkey. It was very fascinating to watch them, but one thing made me worried. I observed that many people were feeding these monkeys different kinds of food like corn, bananas, chips, chocolates, and other snacks. At first, it looked fun — people were happy, and the monkeys were enjoying the treats. But this is not a good sign. Because of this feeding, the monkeys are becoming too comfortable around humans. They are staying on the roadside instead of going back into the forests where they naturally belong. This could become a serious problem. If monkeys continue to live close to roads and humans, there is a risk that their predators, like the common leopard, might come searching for them. If a leopard enters the public areas to hunt monkeys, it could create fear and danger for people. We must remember that monkeys are omnivores — they naturally eat nuts, seeds, insects, ...

Women’s Day – A Day to Think Bacha Khan once said, "If you want to know how civilized a nation is, look at how they treat their women." It is time for us to look at ourselves. Are we treating our women with respect? Our mothers, sisters, and daughters have always been the backbone of our society. They raise warriors, teach wisdom, and keep our traditions alive. Yet, many of them are denied education, forced into early marriages, and silenced in the name of honor. If we want a strong and honorable society, we must stand with our women. A nation that keeps its women behind can never move forward. Real honor is not in controlling women—it is in protecting their dignity, supporting their dreams, and treating them as equals. Many people may not celebrate Women’s Day, but the truth is, women in Pakistan suffer every day. More than ten women are killed in the name of honor. Around 19 women are raped. Many are forced into marriage. Thousands are made to leave their dreams and choices...

 چې په خندا ورته د خوږ زړه پرهرونه نشي  چېرې دې هم ستا د ښايست غوټۍ ګلونه نشي  راشه مظلوم زړه مې په یو نظر يوه لمبه کړه  چې په ظالم زړګي دې پاتې ارمانونه نشي  بيا د جنون مستي ځواني غواړي د مستې مینې  بيا چېرته خيال د تورو زلفو ځنځيرونه نشي  په دعاګانو مې د خوږ زړکي دردونه نه ځي  څو چې ښېرې د شوند و ترم تکورونه نشي  وړې مې د روح جنازه چېرته د خندا په اوږو  په وینو سره دې ترې شينكي شينكي خالونه نشي  د نظر غشي مي په زره باندې په پام اوروه چېرته زخمي پکې دا ستا نازک یادونه نشی  خاموشې شونډې مې لوستې بيدارېدې ويل يې  اورونه مه چېړه لوګي دې پرې فکرونه نشي  ویده دنیا ای د (سائل ) قلمه مه لړزوه  د فريادي اوښکو مات ستوري تندرونه نشي رحمت شاه سایل

I came across this powerful lesson in Atomic Habits by James Clear, and I found it deeply thought-provoking. Here it is, word-for-word, as it appears in the book, so you can experience it just as I did. The Man Who Didn't Look Right THE PSYCHOLOGIST GARY Klein once told me a story about a woman who the attended a family gathering. She had spent years working as a paramedic and, upon arriving at the event, took one look at her father your in-law and got very concerned.  "I don't like the way you look," she said. Her father-in-law, who was feeling perfectly fine, jokingly replied, op "Well, I don't like your looks, either." " No," she insisted. "You need to go to the hospital now." A few hours later, the man was undergoing lifesaving surgery after an examination had revealed that he had a blockage to a major artery and was at immediate risk of a heart attack. Without his daughter-in- law's intuition, he could have died. What did the...

In the 19th century, there was a shift in how people thought about the world. After the Enlightenment, which focused on reason and logic, a new movement called Romanticism took hold. Romantic thinkers were no longer content with only science and reason. They turned to the mysteries and dramatic stories of Christianity, with their themes of life and death, creation and destruction, heaven and hell. They believed these old, powerful ideas could help guide the future, but they wanted to reshape them in ways that made sense for their time. One such idea that came up during the Romantic era was the belief that Europe could be "saved" or renewed by learning from Asia. Some thinkers, like Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis, believed that studying Indian culture and religion could help Europe overcome its problems, like materialism and political issues. They thought that by understanding Asia, Europe could be reborn, just like the Biblical idea of death and resurrection. This idea of a ...
