I noticed one thing, especially in youth, that everyone wants to do something but don’t have opportunities to do. Our leaders want to generate a merit base society but sadly no-one is putting an effort to it. Everyone wants a corruption-free society but no-one is agreed to stop corruption. We all do corruption whenever we get the chance. We all prioritize ourselves. None of us really thinks about the public. Everyone has become so much narrowminded that we don’t even want to listen to somebody. We all are just thinking but not taking any effective step towards making our country better as a nation. We want that government sorts out all issues but surprisingly no-one is willing to play its part. We’re desiring for something but doing nothing for it. Here, I want to mention one thing that nothing is going to change until you change yourself, your thoughts, your values. As a nation, we may have the same values but person to person values do vary. We can’t really grow as a nation until we adopt the thinking of serves above one’s own self. Life gets tough at moments, bad things happen to everyone, individually as well as a whole society. Instead of whining over those troubles one should think about the solution and your solution should not only be yours but make it a solution for the society, for your nation. Take yourself out of the self-made boundaries and think for society as a whole. You and I and in fact everyone will end one day, life will end one day. Then what is the meaning of being selfish? Why should we think only about ourselves or our families? Why not you start thinking of the whole nation? We are living in an independent country. We are free to do everything. We got thing because our leaders didn’t think of themselves only. One man’s idea changed the fate of everyone. History needs to repeat itself again. Today, our country is standing at the verge of chaos. Because of none sense issues, because you think only about yourself. Keep in mind that you are an important part of this society. Your opinions do matter. Your presence does make a difference. Just stop looking down upon yourself! Once you start giving value to yourself, nothing (no power in the world) can make you feel bad about yourself. So just get up with a new mindset, new motivation and play your part in making this place a better place. Pakistan can surely become the best country if you stop thinking only about yourself. Okay, I know everyone seeks for something in return, you will be rewarded soon. The condition is to start thinking above your own self. Be a responsible and an active part of your society and then you will notice the change. Because whatever you think can become a reality. One just needs to be persistent and fully devoted to his tasks. Let’s promise this 14th of August that you will play your part in making our country a better country because there is light after darkness.
