A sound Ultimate Purpose – not an option!

By Yameenuddin Ahmed, 04 August 2010

Few years back, I was visiting UAE in connection to one of our workshops in Dubai. During my stay, my plan was to call our old Timelenders family members and invite them to refresh the workshop or to send someone from their family or friends. During this process, I called a lady who attended our workshop couple of years back… “Mr. Yameen! How are you? How is Mr. Suleman?” She immediately asked with voice full of warmth when I introduced myself. After greeting each other, I gave her the invitation to join us in our upcoming Strategic Time Management workshop. “Oh! Thank you Yameen Saheb for your invitation and I would love to attend but my circumstances will not allow me to do so”, I felt her voice was shuddering with pain and grief.

Saving Energy through Modifying National Behavior

Addressing the energy crisis of Pakistan through modifying the national behavior

Pakistan is facing a severe energy crisis the negative impact of which is being felt at all levels of the society whether it is economic, social or unfortunately on the level of the national integrity by contributing to the elements that fuel terrorism like unemployment and severe financial deprivation.

The government has embarked on an awareness campaign which I believe will have only limited success as it hinges a lot on legal enforcement like clamping down on late marriage events in Karachi to forcing businesses to shut down by 8:00 pm. The issue of legal enforcement in Pakistan is marred by the presence of massive corruption in our legal and enforcement frameworks and the high ingenuity of Pakistanis to find creative ways to go around laws which they believe are hurdles.

What's your advantage?

A few years ago, I was introduced to someone in a family event. We discussed a lot of things of common interest. He narrated the following interesting event that touched his heart:

I learnt a great lesson from my ten year old daughter, Sarah. She was born with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home one beautiful spring day and told me that she had participated in a sports day in her school – with lots of races and other competitive events. My mind raced as I tried to think of encouragement for my daughter. Things I could say to her so that she does not feel bad about not being able to compete properly.

Dare to Think!

I was surprised by the knock. It was late at night and I was the only guest.

I opened the door. It was the manager along with the cook.

Sir, we wanted to ask you something that has been troubling us for the past few days?Sure, I replied while asking them in.

Everything in this world is created for a reason. Do you know yours?

Many people struggle with defining who they are and why they exist. For most of us, having a purpose in life is important. We want to feel that our life has meaning. Most keep yearning to discover their purpose and very few actually do.
