Everyone is surrounded by a red circle, and crossing it means confronting him with an unknown fear I have grown up far beyond the age of phones and mobiles. It was the era of letters when the news of the arrival of the son at the destination reached the mother after months. The postal services took months to deliver the letters to their destination. After getting the son’s letter, mum would look for the literate person with this letter tied to…
One drawing teacher states that once he saw a nursery child drawing a strange picture on his notebook. He asked him what his son was doing. The child replied innocently — “I’m drawing a picture of God”. The teacher asked him; Son, no one has ever seen God, so how can you draw a picture of him? The child responds in a very interesting way: — “Sir if you wait a bit, you’ll see how God looks like”?
After hearing my mother’s voice in the morning, the first sound I heard in my ears — was the B.B.C Urdu Service. And when I opened my eyes, I saw my father, shaving his beard for the morning army parade, with the radio on the table. Radio was extremely popular at the time, and everyone had to have one. The BBC’s services were extreme, and only a small percentage of the population was unaware of or did not listen to them. They were most likely those who did not have access to a radio.
The terms teaching and training are sometimes used interchangeably, yet they are fundamentally different. Training develops abilities through practise in a real-world setting, whereas teaching imparts knowledge, instruction, or information. People’s prior knowledge and experiences are transferred into the real world of work through training.
Teachers should be aware of the differences so that they can devote their lives to education in order to transform society. Have you ever explored the difference between a teacher and an employee? Anyone who teaches should be aware of the difference. You are a good employee if you are punctual, teach your lessons on time, follow the institution’s policies, and listen to your employer. Being a good employee is not the same as being a teacher. You can call…
Be exceptional rather than altering yourself to be useful in particular situations. People don’t remember you for your kindness; instead, they remember you for one poor quality out of a hundred good ones. Don’t do good to a person, but to humanity (Serve Humanity, not a Person).

Serving humanity…

Don’t be afraid of strong winds, O Eagle, It moves to make you fly high. Dr. Allam Muhammad Iqbal This is the famous verse of Allam Muhammad Iqbal and I wholeheartedly agree with it. Your haters are the real motivations behind your elevation. Headwinds are necessary for those who want to fly higher in the sky. If you have no opposition to your actions, believe me, you will never cross the line of success. Haters think they’re pulling you back,…
Education 1.0 to 4.0: let’s traverse the path. Education 1.0 is the first generation of education as web 1.0 is the first stage of the internet. At the end of the 18th century, Education 1.0 commenced where students were passive in classrooms and teachers were the centre of education. The blackboard and pens were used as teaching aids.
