Great thread khan sahib... we as a nation and our leaders need to learn so much from this great man... just to give you an example of his will-power and determination, In 1945 when he was told by his doctor Dr. Gil Patel that his health situation is very bad due to constant 14 hour days and smoking. However, the doctor said that he could live for about 10 more years if he were to quit politics and move to a hill-station. Quaid asked what if he continued to work the way he was working? and the doctor replied maybe you have 3-4 years to live if you continue like this. At this, the quaid replied, "I would need to work even harder then"... This is what i call supreme dedication, to the extent of sacrifice... May god bless his soul, and may his dream of a great nation come true.
