The people we spend the most time will massively effect our behaviors, our mood, and our relationship with ourselves and others. Now is the time to be brave, notice what happens to your life when you’re with people who are disrespectful, condescending, negative, and dishonest. Become keenly aware of how this plays a role in your energy, and your enthusiasm for life to live each day being your truest, best self. Stand up, make a plan, and kindly remove them from your circle of influence. If complete removal is not possible limit the time greatly, and put an invisible shield around you when you’re with them. Don’t engage, try to change, or be involved. Do the obligatory time and make it short. But for the most part we can let people go and wish them well, we’re just too afraid of what might happen. Will they dislike me? Will I be alone? The unknown is scary, but the pain of the reality of the now is worse. Enough is enough. You deserve better. This is your year for being brave and going

In Pakistani society, it is unfortunate that people often judge others based on their educational background. This judgmental attitude can be particularly challenging, as it places significant pressure on individuals to conform to societal expectations and pursue certain fields of study. This issue is deeply personal for me, as I experienced it firsthand within my own family. At the age of 18, while studying pre-engineering in college, I made the difficult decision to change my path, realizing that my skills in mathematics were lacking. With a genuine interest in journalism, I chose to pursue it as my subject of study for my graduation. Little did I know that this decision would be met with disapproval from my father. Recently, when a friend of my father visited our home, I found myself in an uncomfortable situation. As I was serving them juice, the guest inquired about my studies, and I proudly responded that I was studying journalism. However, before I could share any further detail

 ! اسلام علیکم میں ہوں آپکا میزبان اور آپ سن رہے ہیں ریڈیو 107.4 کی آواز۔ سامعین، ہم ایک ایسے معاشرے میں رہ رہے ہیں جہاں پر تحقیق بہت کم ہوتی ہے۔ ہم چیزوں کو بغیر تحقیق کے مان لیتے ہیں، بس جس نے جو کہا وہ ہم نے مان لیا۔ اور یہی وجہ ہے کہ بہت سے ایسے الفاظ یا اصطلاحات کو ہم اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں استعمال نہیں کرتے بلکہ اُن معنوں میں استعمال کرتے ہیں جو کہ ہم نے سنا ہے یا جیسے ہمیں بتایا گیا ہو۔ بلکل ایک ایسی ہی اصطلاح پر آج ہم بات کرینگے اور اسکو اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں جاننے کی کوشش کریں گے اور وہ اصطلاح ہے "بہادری"۔ جی ہاں آپ نے صحیح سنا، آج جس موضوع پر ہم بات کرینگے وہ ہے "بہادری" اور ہمارا ساتھ دینگی ہماری کو ہوسٹ (۔۔۔۔۔)۔  Host: جی! تو کیا آپ نے کبھی کہ دراصل بہادر ہونے کا کیا مطلب ہے، یا بہادر کون لوگ ہوتے ہیں؟ کیونکہ گزشتہ چند ہفتوں سے میں اسی کے بارے میں سوچ رہا ہوں کہ اصل میں بہادری ہے کیا اور کون اور کیسے ہوتے ہیں بہادر لوگ؟ Co-Host: یہ واقعی ایک دلچسپ موضوع ہے۔ جس طرح آپ نے پروگرام کے شروعات میں فرمایا کہ؛ ہمارے ہاں چیزوں کو اسکے حقیقی معنوں میں سمجھا نہیں جاتا

In academic discussions, it is customary to respond to an argument with an opposing argument and attempt to counter the claims of the opposing party. However, there are instances when individuals react differently when faced with arguments that challenge their faith or personal beliefs. Some individuals dismiss such arguments by simply stating, "I don't believe it; it's a lie." It is important to address this response and emphasize the need for a more thoughtful and constructive approach to intellectual discourse. When someone rejects an argument solely based on disbelief without providing any counterarguments, it raises questions about the strength of their position. Simply stating "I don't believe it's a lie" does not contribute to the intellectual exchange but instead shuts down the conversation prematurely. It is crucial to encourage individuals to evaluate their beliefs critically and engage in a meaningful dialogue by presenting valid counterar

Poetry, in my view, serves only limited purposes and its value is often exaggerated. It may have some utility in language learning and can certainly be transformed into beautiful songs. However, the idea that poetry offers a profound understanding of life's true worth and reality is misguided. We cannot expect to comprehend the complexities of existence solely through the perspective of another person, especially when poetry is nothing more than a reflection of the poet's own experiences and biases. Poetry presents a world that is necessarily subjective and ephemeral. Poets frequently go against what they once believed, praising or criticizing the very things they once disagreed with. When poetry changes and becomes muddled all the time, how can we trust it to be a reliable source of truth? Poetry does not provide a steady and cohesive view of the universe, hence it is impossible to understand the truth of life through poetry alone. Therefore, I believe that poetry should be ap

Although they can have some similarities, guilt and shame are in fact two different types of psychological sensations. Let's investigate their definitions and ramifications in more detail: Guilt: Typically, guilt is connected to a sense of regret or remorse for having broken one's own personal moral code or standards. It results from the conviction that one has done something wrong, whether it was breaking the law, hurting someone, or acting against to one's morals. People are frequently motivated to make amends, learn from their errors, and try to act morally responsibly by guilt. Shame, on the other hand, is a sense of humiliation, embarrassment, or self-consciousness that results from a perceived breach of societal norms, expectations, or standards. Shame, in contrast to guilt, frequently focuses on the person's perception of themselves rather than a specific act. Shame can be caused by both internal and external factors, such as criticism, societal judgments, or a f

خیبرپختونخوا جو ایک مردم خیز سوبہ تصوّر کیا جاتا ہے, اِس سوبے کی تعلیمی تاریخ کی جب بات ہوتی ہے تو ہمیشہ جامعہ پشاور یعنی "پشاور یونیورسٹی" کا نام زبان زدِ عام رہتی ہے۔ پشاور یونیورسٹی میں کم و بیش 45 ڈیپارٹمنٹ موجود ہیں جن میں سے ایک ڈیپارٹمنٹ جرنلزم اینڈ ماس کمیونیکیشن کا بھی ہے۔  صحافت نہ صرف ایک پیشہ ہے بلکہ جنون ہے۔ صحافت اور صحافیوں نے ہمیشہ اِس ملک کی بقاء کیلئے اہم اور نمایاں کردار ادا کیا ہے۔ پشاور یونیورسٹی میں صحافت کا باقاعدہ آغاز1988 کو ہوا۔ صحافت ریاست کا اہم ستون ہی نہیں بلکہ معاشرے کا عکاس بھی ہے اور اِس شعبے کو مفید و مؤثر بنانے کیلئے ضروری ہے کہ اِس کی بنیادیں مضبوط ہوں۔ اِس اہم ستون کا دارومدار جرنلزم ڈیپارٹمنٹ ہر ہے جبکہ وقت کا تقاضہ ہے کہ دیگر شعبوں کی طرح اِس ادارے کو بھی جدید خطوط پر استوار کیا جائے۔  جرنلزم اینڈ ماس کمیونیکیشن جامعہ پشاور کا ایک تاریخی ڈیپارٹمنٹ ہے جس نے صحافت کو ایسی انمول شخصیات عطا کئے جو صحافت میں اپنا ثانی نہیں رکھتے۔ کامیابی کی اِس سفر کو رواں دواں رکھنے اور اِدارے کو دوام بخشنے کیلئے ضروری ہے کہ خامیوں کی نشاندھی کرکے اس کی تدا
