Peace again kakaballi
Priorities are established by our religion not by personal choice. They can … but then we would be doing an injustice to alter the order. It is unfair to say ‘comfortable retired life’ is a priority and this end is never my intention.
As I said before to me material gains is not my measure of success … rather it is the passion for effort, to desire to be honourable, honest and dignified.
I believe tarbiyya is the one important inheritance that we can leave behind for our children that is in our control but wealth on the other hand is already written down for us.
Many people less educated earn more money than many very educated people. Our aim for education hence should not be for money but for tarbiyya and learning about our greater purpose as part of humanity.

It’s not a matter of advice it’s a matter of money. If a person goes to Pakistan waving money around then they will say “Yes boss, whatever you say boss”, to those who bring the real issues to light they are told “pay up or go away we don’t need your advice” …
Frankly, the best tool to helping the Pakistanis become self-sufficient is to end the corruption. Pakistanis do not need us to tell them how to make money they need a clear system that is not bypassed that allows public spending to go to where it needs to go without individuals in the supply chains creaming amounts off, pocketting from the budgets.

Job creation is not a solution to the problem. Job creation for a few could escalate the problem. Mobilink however successful they are … are successful for themselves. Giving the Pakistani consumer not only choice **but low prices **- this is market speech ‘choice’ is distraction and ‘low price’ leads to waste and disregard of possession.
“Mobilink continued its three prong approach which focused on acquiring new customers, retention of existing base and usage enhancement. The launch of revival campaign with strong media backup helped increase the active subscriber base,” it further added.
Mobilink, amid tough competition in the cellular phone market, managed to post a 0.3 percent growth in revenue in Q3-2009. It has earned Rs 64.1 billion in Jul-Sep 2009 as compared to Rs 63.9 billion income recorded in the same period last year.
However, the rupee depreciation against dollar has dragged the company’s revenue in the red. In terms of dollar, Mobilink’s revenue earning has fallen sharply by 15.7 percent in Q3-2009. It earned $787.99 million in the Jul-Sept 2009 as compared to the revenue generation of $934.59 million in the corresponding period of last year. "

The major cause for decline of the country’s economy is the state of affairs of the nation on the international arena. Mobilink may have made a difference to themselves, but Pakistan as a nation continues to suffer, marked by the depreciation of the rupee. Until the government becomes stable and until people stop bombing the place then we won’t get foreign investment.
Those who see potential gains from the high risk situation will go there needing to hire a securty outfit to keep themselves on their seats. That is why Iraq is lucrative at the moment. High risk high reward.
Then we need to look at the culture we are creating by encouraging the luxurious use of cell phones even amongst children … yes we’ve been there talked about it … Great West monoculture here we come!
