Energy Crisis and IPPs

  In the last 30 years, Pakistan has faced an epic energy crisis, and the government has fumbled spectacularly in trying to match supply with demand. For some mysterious reason, policymakers have completely ignored green energy options like hydro power, solar, and wind energy. It could be a lack of political will or just plain laziness of the ruling elite. Our politicians seem to be afflicted with a chronic case of "poor decision-making." They love quick fixes, no matter how expensive or impractical. Ironically, Pakistan is supposed to be a democracy, with leaders elected by the people. Yet, they craft policies that are completely out of touch with what the population needs. The topic of electricity tariffs has become the favorite subject of endless debates because, despite all the talk, the energy crisis remains as persistent as ever.  Not investing in green energy is almost criminal. Households can't afford fossil fuel energy, and to make matters worse, the cost per kil

HARNESS YOURSELF

 


Mother Nature has been very kind to all His creatures. For instance, a bald eagle can spot its prey, the size of a rabbit three miles away, with its  huge eyes. 

Similarly each creature has been bestowed with specific capability like reptiles use various forms of locomotion to move from place to place but with the restriction that they cannot fly like birds. 

You will be stunned to know that most fishes are Ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary according to the temperature of water they live in.  All such capabilities are inborn and these wonderful creature use them unknowingly.  All the creatures have limited capabilities but that is not true for humans.

We, the Homo-sapiens are bestowed with numerous characteristics, qualities, powers and capabilities that can be used simultaneously and intelligently. 

We can think, hear, look, talk and balance ourselves while we are walking or running. The term “Homo-Sapiens” means “the wise human”, derived from classical Latin. We, the human beings, are the only creatures on the globe, who are wise enough to change the world around us. 

We have been harnessed with a special capability that we can think before we act. We have the ability to learn from past, apply on our present endeavors and make our future prosperous. 

But making significant changes in your life have never been a simple task. The major hurdle in bringing about change to your ongoing life is the so called Procrastination. 

We, the wise men, put urgent and important tasks off until the last minute for no cogent reason or justification. Its very unwise to postpone urgent stuff but we the humans are that kind of species. What the heck this procrastination is and how to get rid of  it?

Researchers of psychology define procrastination as a "form of self-regulation failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences.” Around 20% of adults living in United States suffer from Chronic Procrastination, according to Joseph Ferrari, a Professor of Psychology at DePaul University, Chicago.

No matter how well-organized and committed we are, chances are there that we have found yourselves squandering away hours on futile stuff like watching TV, updating your Facebook status, Whatsapp chatting, shopping online etc.

 WE should have, otherwise been spending that precious time on your work, school-related projects or your careers.

In fact, you’d be surprised that how much change a little effort can make as far as personal and professional fulfillment goes. Start now and do the following;

Figure out your mistakes.

Say good bye to your comforts.

Be punctual (Punctuality must become your habit not compulsion).

Dissociate yourself from lazy friends.

Set short term, medium term and perspective goals.

You are unique. Don’t compare  yourself with others.

Start Learning new things. 

Don't complain but instead remain thankful.

Work hard and make your career.
