There are no rich or poor in this world.
There are only those that have learned how to use their willpower to get what they want and those who have not learned how to use their willpower to get what they need.
Charity is obligated for those that know the art of manifestation of willpower – to be given to those – that have not learnt the art of manifestation yet.
This is how karma flows from the haves to the have-nots.
Those who do not believe or practice charity – deny this fact of life and miss out on its transformative capacity.
Wakeup HUMANITY

Pakistan has a demonstrated capacity to work with the best in developed nations and contribute to a global economic ecosystem, in more remarkable ways than you perhaps can imagine.
This elegant video showcases it so well.

It turns out that treatment for men and women should be different, as both are different on a cellular level – not just organs.
This is a fascinating new revelation and needs every bit of focus we can get.
Watch the video.

An unprecedented influx of refugees have literally invaded Europe recently.
Coming mostly from the tense spots of the middle east region, these refugees are in younger age brackets with a lot of children and young couples.
My main inquisition is why is it that Europe is welcoming so many in such awkward ways.
Just recently a tiny village of 150 people in Netherlands called Oranje got a major shock when the government decided to place a refugee camp of 700+ people there.
It sounds exceptionally comical that the government would overlook such a major factor of native population and numbers.
This is going on all over Europe mostly in the developed and central regions.
I ask myself why is Europe accommodating so many refugees?
I feel it is all to do with the best answer to Europe’s biggest problem – Age!
Most of Europe is facing a natural degradation of its young population due to less families producing lesser children and most of its people expected to reach old age soon.
Without enough young, Europe faces a major shortage of labor for the next century.
Inviting all these migrants is Europe’s answer to that problem.
It may even make it more competitive as an economic region in this emerging multipolar world where China is giving US and Europe a very hard time.
Supply of cheap and capable labor is the next big economic agenda.
In a unipolar/ bipolar world where US had an undisputed lead, that was not much to be concerned about but now in this multipolar world with US, Europe & China as the market leading economies. This fact is paramount.
Europe is not going under the weight of competition but rather preparing to deploy the tried and tested formula used by US to catapult its economic might.
They have the technology lead, the financial lead and now with a managed supply of labor they will be competitive to use a mix of labor and automation to have a newly empowered economic lead in the new market region called Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The next 50 years will define the shape of a new world in trade and commerce. New methods and new ways of execution.
I feel it’s an opportune time to benefit from this transformational regional transition.

Recently with the promulgation of laws that dictate the use of Urdu as the constitutionally directed state language. Government has started a program targeting its implementation in a 15 year span. The supreme court penned the rulings and now the government has this challenge upon its head.
While its being discussed and most people are beginning to come to terms with this change over agenda. I am reviewing a few articles in the local and international press that highlight the degree to which this would not be a good move. Pointing to the consideration that Punjabi, Sindhi and other provincial languages have more of a majority than Urdu and thus it would not be a prudent move. Some even saying that English is an international medium of exchange and so it should be kept as is and this aspect should not be touched as its very complex.
I have a few thoughts to reflect upon.
While as a ‘language’ the various majority and minority differences can be brought up to make comparatives there are a few ground realities that need to be evaluated as well.
For one ‘script’. Urdu shares in the similarity of script used for all provincial languages, far more different from English. In similar ways as you will see many European languages use a script that is similar.
This fact in itself is worth pondering over for script enables connectivity of cultures.
Even though provincial languages are numerical majority, the fact that they are in place and at the same when they do speak other languages they all speak easily in Urdu shows very clearly how Urdu already serves the role it was set out to play when Quaid e Azam placed it in that role as a national representative.
The script with its regional history ties in all the rest of the provincial languages more so than English would be or should be able to achieve.
A fact that can certainly be seen clearly when you go to any of the provincial cities and find out that if in speaking with the common man there, you would not know the provincial language, you can always easily speak in Urdu – Not English.
This is true for Punjab, Sindh, KPK, Baluchistan both in Urban and Rural settings.
Variance will be present from place to place in the degree to which this can be seen but in a stark comparison to English this fact will certainly stand out loud and clear.
Another point I would like to make is with respect to comparative advantage.
While English has taken its role as an international language. Europe did not bag it’s regional languages. We see Dutch, German, French, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian etc… along with their dialectal variances still in use within these locals, all the while English ties them all together despite the fact that English has no majority in Dutch areas, as an example!
The need for a national language is paramount because nations are still a reality of today and will remain for a very very long time.
Pakistan needs to find a national identity that is not rooted into majority or minority but rather an inclusive balance of both.
Promulgating Urdu as the national language will certainly be very challenging and may take longer to realistically implement perhaps even over the next 30 years but doing so will create a far more inclusive approach for the provincial representations from urban and rural settings than English can ever achieve.
The script makes it easier to relate, and the already present alternative use across Pakistan in all ethnic divides is a basis for this ideal.
Pakistan needs a national consensus now to shape national unity and harmony.
Those who had migrated are simply asserting this need for the larger groups, nothing more.
We need a country that opens its doors to all that share the script. Advocating Urdu on a national level along side English, and advocating Provincial languages in representative provinces to ensure that similarity of the script creates a easier path for all to prosper.
English has the strength in itself to continue the international agenda. Those who will feel the need will continue to leverage its power regardless. Same as is the case all over Europe.
Urdu is central to a national unity platform that provides the similarity of script and it’s history as a basis for national cohesion.
That is very important. This is why the Quaid made this decision for Pakistan.

Bitcoin has come a long way in how technology is now defining the central pillar of life on earth… Money.
While its technology is strong and the peer-to-peer model is stronger still.
“In my view” there is an inherent risk embedded within Bitcoin itself. This is the risk that the notion of mining of coins is dependent on a computational work which apparently CPU/GPUs perform and due to the complexity of math involved, is difficult, thus the creation of coins is controlled.
I feel this is an inaccurate and incomplete understanding. Here is why!
In the next 5 to 10 years super computing will transform in an unprecedented way.
Quantum Computing will make this challenge of mining coins a thing of the past, and the entity that mines the highest quantity of coins will dominate.
In my view, the technology of Quantum Computing will not be made public. It will be in the hands of very few still.
This is the exact statement of the inventor:
… “The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to
attack the network, they’ll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers.”
Quantum Computing can work at a pace unprecedented in human history. It can work on a single task at multiple even infinite levels all at the same time to exponentially grow within a few seconds and evaluate the most complex problem.
Quantum Computing for the geeks: Wikipedia Article
Already matured and existing Quantum Computer: DWave
The control of Bitcoin will be in the hands of the authority that controls the highest computing power in the coming days and that means Quantum Computer owners will have that power.
NOTE: I am extrapolating the facts as I see them architecturally. I am not an expert in the technology.
